Justin Timberlake ~ What Goes Around... / ...Comes Around Interlude

2007-01-07T16:49:00.000+11:00

Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man?
You know I gave you the world
You had me in the palm of your hand
So why your love went away
I just can't seem to understand
Thought it was me and you babe
Me and you until the end
But I guess I was wrong

Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair?

Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find...

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now
And maybe I should do the same
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, babe
And now, it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong

Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Can you tell me is this fair?

Is this the way things are going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around (should've known better that you were gonna make me cry)
That you were going to make me cry
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

What goes around comes around
Yeah
What goes around comes around
You should know that
What goes around comes around
Yeah
What goes around comes around
You should know that

Don't want to think about it (no)
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it (yeah)
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair?

Is this the way things are going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around (should've known better that you were gonna make me cry)
That you were going to make me cry
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
But that's okay baby 'cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

[...Comes Around Interlude]

Let me paint this picture for you, baby

You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And every time you call him
All you get's a busy tone
I heard you found out
That he's doing to you
What you did to me
Ain't that the way it goes

You cheated girl
My heart bleeds girl
So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
Just a classic case
A scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl you got what you deserved

And now you want somebody
To cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody
That could come and make it right

But girl I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy
You'll see

(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey

[laughs]
See?
You should've listened to me, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Because
(What goes around comes back around)
[laughs]

Red Ribbon Day - December 1st 2006

2006-12-01T19:32:00.000+11:00

Just thought I'd put this link up to signify the importance of today around the world. Check it out when you get the time.

Paula DeAnda feat. The DEY - Walk Away (Remember Me)

2006-11-18T14:13:00.000+11:00

[intro]
I'm gonna remember you
you gonna remember me
I'm gonna remember you
you gonna remember me

[verse 1]
i saw you with your new girl just yesterday
and i feel that i must confess
even though it kills me to have to say
ill admit that i was impressed
is it calling just showed up affection
gotta commend you on your selection
though i know i shouldnt be concerned
in the back of my mind i cant help but question

does she rub your feet (when you've had a long day)
scratch your scalp (when you take out your braids)
does she know that you (like to play ps2 till 6 in the morning like i do)

[chorus]
i cant explain this feeling
i think about it everyday
and even though we've moved on
it gets so hard to walk away
(I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
walk away, walk away
(I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
walk away
(i cant forget it how we use to be)

[verse 2]
i guess i gotta live my life from day to day
hoping maybe you'll come back
and though i tell myself not to be afraid
to move on but it seems i cant
no other man has given me attention
it aint the same as your affection
though i know i should be content
in the back of my mind i cant help but question

does he kiss me on the forehead (before we play)
show on my doorstep (with a bouquet)
does he call me in the middle of the day (just to say)
baby i love you (like you used too)

[chorus]
i cant explain this feeling
i think about it everyday
and even though we've moved on
it gets so hard to walk away
(I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
walk away, walk away
(I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
walk away
(i cant forget it how we use to be)

[bridge]
so hard to express this feeling
cause nobody compares to you (to you)
and you know she'll never love you like i do

[chorus 2x]
i cant explain this feeling
i think about it everyday
and even though we've moved on
it gets so hard to walk away
(I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
walk away, walk away
(I'm gonna remember you, you gonna remember me)
walk away

[outro]
I'm gonna remember you
you gonna remember me
I'm gonna remember you
you gonna remember me

Barney Stinson : Get PSYCHED!!!!!!!!!

2006-11-06T21:58:00.000+11:00

Hey guys,

One of my favourite shows on TV is "How I Met Your Mother" and Barney Stinson played by Neil Patrick Harris is one of the main characters on the show. He never fails to make me laugh hehe. Here's a compilation of his best bits on the show. Legendary!

My favourite line
"Hi leg warehouse?... Yeah my friend Ted needs something to stand on...
So nothing from a stand on?... OK thanks so much..."

Watch the clip and you'll know what i mean hehe... all his lines are great hehe... I better go study... I have a paper tomorrow... good luck everyone...

Orisinal: Morning Sunshine

2006-11-04T22:47:00.000+11:00

Hey guys,

Since SWOTVAC has already started, everyone's been studying hard but you know we all need that 10 minute break once in a while. Right? RIGHT! So with some help from Bips, I've been able to familiarise myself with a website called "Orisinal". It has plenty of mini games to entertain you and keep your mind of studying for a few minutes. I'm addicted to "Hungry Spiders" and "Bubble Bees" hehe... anyways if you guys do need a break, check out the site and have some fun... it's http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/

Hope everyone is studying hard. Good luck to all my friends taking their exams over the next three weeks. Take care.

More Songs

2006-10-17T20:44:00.000+10:00

First of all I had a great time at the ball. The problem is that I didn't bring a camera and so I'm depending on others sending me pics or memory alone. I know that without pictures, I'm not going to forget the night. I ended up driving home at 3:30am and turned up to the 8am lecture the next day hehe. It was worth it!

Anyways I've got a few more songs I really enjoyed and want to post them because I don't have a great memory hehe... here we go...

- Chamillionaire - Grown and Sexy
- Mario Vasquez - Gallery
- Frankie J feat. Chamillionaire - That Girl

As you can see I'm loving chamillionaire's music... hope to get his cd sometime... till then just streaming from his website :$... hehe...

I've got a test tomorrow so I'll get back to it... only 1 week and a bit to go... hope it doesn't end too soon... cyaa!

Three weeks to go!

2006-10-07T18:28:00.000+10:00

It's already October. The year has gone very quickly and right now there's not that long to go before the semester comes to a close and the BBiomedSc lifestyle decides to end. There has been a rumor going around that maybe the local students will get to have their graduations in December which would be awesome I think. Prior to this, graduation would have taken place in March 2007 which is a very long way away. It's been a great year though and hopefully we'll all get to graduate by the end of it.

My trip to Brisbane during the holidays was awesome. I managed to go to Suncorp stadium as well and watch Queensland Roar take on Adelaide United in the A league. It was a 0-0 draw but there was a red card sending off which was the highlight of the game hehe. Speaking of soccer, the game between Australia and Paraguay will be played there tonight with most of Australias team from the previous world cup participating. It should be a great game.

Yesterday I had my Genes to Phenotypes exam. Despite them giving us more than half of the exam to try and attempt at home, they still made us write every single second of the 45 minute test. It was so tiring by the end of it. We'll just see how it all pays off when we find out how we went. Good luck to everyone. I've just got 2 more end of semester tests to go before the exams kick in. My exam timetable is pretty good with at least a week in between each. The only downside is that I finish on the very last day of exam week. Another downside is that'll i'll be finding out if I scored a place in Medicine during the exam week which could put me off studying all together if the result isn't what I wanted. Not long to go now.

There a few songs that I've been listenning to that have caught my ear and I thought I'd list them here just in case I forget what I've been listenning to hehe...

- Chamillionaire - Ridin'
- JR Writer feat. Cam'ron and Lil' Wayne - Byrd Call
- James Morrison - You Give Me Something
- JoJo - Too Little, Too Late
- Evermore - Light Surrounding You
- Lil Romeo - You Can't Shine Like Me
- Shannon Noll - Lonely

Hope you guys have a great weekend and hope too see you all some time soon. :) At the Biomed Dinner!!!

Shannon Noll - Lonely

2006-09-18T23:02:00.000+10:00

Sittin in a hotel miles from nowhere
Thought that this would be my happiness
I look at the phone and pick it up
For the millionth time I put it down again

I know I let you go
And I've got no right to know

[CHORUS]
Do you ever get lonely baby
Don't you ever get tired of living that way
Don't you ever wonder whether there's a better life,out there yeah
Do you ever think about what we had
How you'd give anything to get it back
Do you ever think you'll ever love that way again

Wondering If only Do you ever get lonely
I look around the room and wonder

When it was and how my life has changed
I'm surrounded by a million so called friends
And I don't even know their names oh no

When all that you love is gone
And you feel you don't belong
Oh tell me

[CHORUS]

I know that this world has changed us
Now we're nothing more than strangers
But do you think about me ever
Do you think we belong together

[CHORUS]

Do you ever miss me
Wishing you could kiss me
If only you could hold me
Do you ever get lonely
Like me...

Farewell

2006-09-10T10:18:00.000+10:00

Well it's been one busy week to be honest. I had 2 tests and a set of questions to complete. Today I've been sleeping for ages trying to catch up on all the sleep that I had lost throughout the week. It's Sunday today and that means there's still one game of footy left in the quarterfinals. I'm glad that Sydney made it through to the preliminary finals. As you may or may not know, Essendon are out of the race (of course you know that!!! LOL) and so I'm backing my dad's side to win the premiership. He goes for Sydney and hence I'm going for them too for this month.

This week has also shocked the Australian community. It's been tough trying to come to terms with the fact that two Australian superstars have now passed away. Steve Irwin and Peter Brock were special people and both their deaths were horrific and came without warning. I send my wishes to their families and anyone close to them who is feeling the loss.

One more week of uni to go. I'm glad this time around, we have two weeks to enjoy the holidays instead of the usual one week. Hope this week turns out alright for everyone and I hope you all enjoy your break.

I've also added Bernice's site to my list of friends so check it out. See ya!

Thinking...

2006-08-27T15:32:00.000+10:00

Hi everyone... it's Sunday now and that means the first of my midsemester tests is complete... I have my Systems and Higher Functions test on Tuesday which is 2 days away and requires me to cover a few lectures... I'm finding it harder to keep upto date this semester... I think it's to do with the 3 - 5 hour breaks that I have every day. Last semester, I had the same amount of contact hours however although I started at 9am, I finished the day at 11am on 3 of the 5 days. When I did have a late finish, I usually had a late start as well. This semester, I have four 8am starts and heaps of 5pm finishes. I am not the type of person who likes studying in the library for too long. There's something about others watching me study that makes me a little bit uncomfortable. Especially if they're studying something that you are yet to start. What do you guys think? It's so much better to just go home and relax while you slowly get your study done. Despite that, the constant early mornings has made me very sleepy later on in the day. Anyways I've got a fair bit of catching up to do before Tuesdays test so I'll try and hit the books again while I have the chance because Monday I've got 3 hours of breaks and I doubt I can get much done. Good luck to everyone who's studying / cramming for these couple of weeks and those who are just reading this. Enjoy your Sunday afternoon.

A wet, cold, looong trip home

2006-07-31T22:10:00.000+10:00

Today was a day filled with surprises and disappointment... or so my horoscope told me... I want to set the picture for you... it was 5:30pm... I am at Melbourne Central and I had just finished up two karaagi hand rolls... I was alone and eager to get home... after validating my Met-Card, I checked the time on the screen for my next train... it read out that the next train would be at 5:40pm but it was running 5 minutes late... i hopped onto the train to find out it was stopping all stations to Dandenong... at this time, the weather outside was cold and wet... it was raining heavily... I knew the last bus from Yarraman station was at 6:25pm so I was quite confident that I could make it... the next two buses at Springvale were 6:40pm and 7:10pm... as the train performed it's ritual of stopping at every station on the way home, I kept looking at my watch hoping that I could make it onto the bus... I arrived at Springvale at 6:15pm.... I had 10 minutes to get to Yarraman to catch the bus... the train stopped a couple more times before arriving at Yarraman... I looked at my watch and I still had 2 minutes... I looked up at the bus stop across the road and to my horror, the bus just drove past... no warning and no way of making it stop in the noise that the rain was making... I was stranded at Yarraman station at 6:25pm... no more buses were going to run tonight from this station... I decided to take a train back to Springvale to catch the bus at 6:40pm... after pressing the button to announce the arrival time of the next train, I heard the system say the next train would be at 6:36pm and I had to wait for 9 minutes... that wasn't enough time for me to get back... I decided to take the last option of taking the train to Dandenong to see if the buses were running there... so I hopped on a train and found out that all services had finished there for the night as well... my night was already so messed up not to mention the rain and the freezing cold... I eventually took a train from Dandenong to Springvale and arrived at Springvale at 6:55pm allowing me to wait 15 minutes for the last bus of the night at Springvale to arrive... I was cold but I knew I could finally go home...

Have you ever had those moments when you've taken a risk and it hasn't payed off?... I kept thinking that if I had just gotten off at Springvale in the first place, I would have been able to get home 30 mins earlier than I did... my luck had run out for the night... I'm just glad to be home...

K-Box

2006-07-28T20:16:00.000+10:00

Today I had my first taste of karaoke at K-Box in Melbourne. I didn't expect it to be set up the way it was. I'm so used to viewing those movies where there's a small crowd in a room and a stage with a screen showing the lyrics. I thought I had to stand up on stage or something. This was more like little couches surrounding a TV. I joined Ika, Boo Pit, Aya and Steve to test out the vocals. The song choices were endless and I can honestly say that I was the worst in the room. The also had international songs i.e. Aya could sing all her Jap classics. Ika also sang a few indo songs. The two guys managed to impress with their flawless vocals and then there was me... i managed to miss every line and ended up cancelling my song selection because i couldn't keep up lol... i sang Stan by Eminem... I chose the radio edit version and yet it still had swearing in it... i really don't understand lol... it put me off a bit coz i don't really swear recreationally... overall it was truly a great experience... i enjoyed it and recommend it for anyone... to be honest, karaoke is just about having fun... if you're not that good like me, you can still have heaps of fun... :)

An absent blogger returns

2006-07-15T18:24:00.000+10:00

I havn't blogged for a few days now... a week to be exact but I'm posting now as I really should reminisce on the week that was... Leelee this is an official "update"... I've been busy which I think is a good thing... here are some things I've been doing...

1. I watched Superman Returns... it was awesome in the sense that they stayed true to the original characters but were able to put a more modern twist to the story... I liked it coz every boy seems to want to be a super hero when he is young lol... lame lame... I wanted to watch Pirates of the Carribbean but the next two shows were sold out that day so I might have to watch it some time in the future...

2. Completed my World Cup watching campaign... it ended with Italy playing France in the finals with Italy coming out the champions... somehow the finish was a bit sour with a lot of drama on the pitch during the game and leading up to it... although Italy did win overall, the Zidane Materazzi clash was remembered more vividly than the victory itself...

3. I have been dreaming of the new Nintendo Wii every day and every night... I'm a huuuuuuuuuge Legend of Zelda fan and the new Zelda game called "Twilight Princess" has been delayed from release mainly because it was such a huge game and because the Nintendo Game Cube was fading in the market... so they developed the same game for the Wii and it will be released on the same day as the Wii will be... hehe... I'm very excited... the controllers are very unique and if you check out the clip below, you'll see why... hehe... i can't wait...

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Wii Controls

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Official Trailer

4. I have been playing my N64 and after completing Banjo Tooie the second time around, I'm almost done completing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time again... lol... I forgot how huge that game is...

5. Yesterday, after having a pretty ordinary day, I was lucky to have Rush Hour on TV at 10pm lol... Chris Tucker is a God... the dude cracks me up laughing so hard it's not funny... I've watched the movie many many times before but I don't think I can get tired of that movie... hehe...

The other stuff I've been doing might have to wait for another post but until then I hope everyone's enjoying themselves... only 1 week before uni starts and I can't wait to get back into the old routine... happy holidays everyone :)

The week so far

2006-07-08T10:45:00.000+10:00

It's been a week since I've blogged. Maybe it's because I'm having sooo much fun... or maybe it's just because i couldn't be stuffed blogging for the past few days. Either way, I'm here now and plan to write about some of the things that have happened this week.

FIFA World Cup - Germany 2006
The past week has seen the quarter-finals and semi-finals being played for the soccer world cup. There were a lot of upsets and some notable wins.

Quarter-finals

Game 57 (30 June 2006)
Germany versus Argentina
1:1 a.e.t (1:1, 0:0) 4:2 PSO
Winner: Germany

Game 58 (30 June 2006)
Italy versus Ukraine
3:0 (1:0)
Winner: Italy

Game 59 (1 July 2006)
England versus Portugal
0:0 a.e.t 1:3 PSO
Winner: Portugal

Game 60 (1 July 2006) .................. huge upset
Brazil versus France
0:1 (0:0)
Winner: France

Semi-finals

Game 61 (4 July 2006) .......... the host nation are knocked out
Germany versus Italy
0:2 a.e.t (0:0)
Winner: Italy

Game 62 (5 July 2006)
Portugal versus France
0:1 (0:1)
Winner: France

So at the end of the day, we are going to be seeing a France versus Italy showdown. I expected Brazil to make it through to the final. After they got knocked out in the quarter-finals, I expected Germany to make it. They were knocked out in the semi-finals and now with just the finals remaining, I'm predicting France to win. The way that my predictions are going, there is a strong reason to believe that I am going to predict the wrong team to win again.

So the soccer is coming to a near close. It's been almost a month of entertainment now and I was getting used to the routine of waking up in the middle of the night and watching the games. It's been a good experience and it was great to see how far Australia went in the tournament too.

David Jones
All I can say is that if you have a voucher to the value of $50 at David Jones, you're going to have a very difficult time trying to find something that you can purchase without using your own money as well. I went there on Thursday and was hoping to pick something up with my voucher. To my surprise, there were a lot of items on sale but even after being reduced, they were too expensive for my liking. I had a look at the display cases and the leather wallets that were presented within them. I then thought maybe I'd get a wallet with my voucher because I "assumed" it'd cost less than the clothes I was looking through. After asking the sales assistant, I realised that I not only found something that was more than $50 but it was double the price of the jumpers I was looking at. The wallets cost around $300. I finally ended up purchasing a beanie. That's right... a beanie. It cost me $12 (HAHAHA) but it was the only thing I liked that wasn't in excess of $120 lol. I think it was a good buy hehe.

Nintendo DS
Whilst spending some time with Iksy over the holidays, she let me play a few games on her Nintendo DS lite. One of her games is called Project Rub and it's a love story kinda game. I really enjoyed playing the mini game called "Signs". It's so much fun and I'm considering getting a DS of my own but I want to wait for the PS3 to come out before I make a decision. I need some fun time too hehe.

Click here if you want to find out more about Project Rub.

Results
Well yesterday was the day that all our university results would be published online. I didn't stay up late that night to order a transcript and so continued my tradition of waking up at 7:00am to check my results. Anyways, when I checked them in the morning, to my surprise there was a subject missing a grade (i.e. I only had 3 out of the 4 subjects I had completed with marks against them). The situation was resolved by ordering an academic transcript and waiting about 2 hours for it to arrive in my email inbox. Fortunately it had the results of all four subjects on that page and so further action didn't need to be taken.

Yahoo Widgets
I've had some problems trying to upload pictures so I can't show you exactly what they look like but click here for a link to the official site. Pretty much in summary, a widget sits on ur desktop like an icon. What is different is that each widget is active and works in a specific way i.e. one widget may tell you how full your battery life is and another widget may show you the current weather in Melbourne. What's so cool about this is that because they run in real time, you can just check out what's going on at any time without having to access a website etc. There you go, a very brief description of widgets hehe.

Other than that, I think the rest of my life will bore you (irrespective of whether what I wrote above bored you already) so I'll sign off now wishing everyone the best of luck with their results. There's only a couple of weeks left before uni begins again hehe. Take care.

Farewell To Michelle

2006-06-30T22:15:00.000+10:00

Today was a special day but also a sad one. It was a day where I had to say goodbye to a friend I had only just met at the start of semester but grew to know very well. I'm talking about Michelle Kee.

Here's an insight as to how I met her. I went to a lecture with Ika (blush blush) and yes it was definitely with Ika coz the subject was called "Human Genetics" hehe. A girl sat next to me asking if the seat was free. I said "no" and let her sit beside me. She then told me how she had seen me in every one of her classes and I was like "you couldn't have" because I was doing Biomed and she was taking four science elective subjects (i.e. no Genome Science). She was right though about taking all her subjects. Three out of the four subjects I took were exactly the same as hers (i.e. neuro) and the other one she took was (you guessed it) human genetics. I was attending Human Genetics lectures for other reasons hehe. So in fact me attending most of her lectures was obviously giving her the indication that I was gonna be seen a lot. I guess that's where it all started. We introduced each other and she told me how she's just here for a six month exchange before heading back to Singapore. That was six months ago and today she's heading back home. I know I found a friend in her and I know we'll still keep in touch. It was good to know you Michelle and all the best in your future endeavours.

Today was special because Kenny organised a lunch for Michelle and I thought it was a very nice gesture. We (Jono, Jasmine, Kenny and Michelle... oo and me :P) went to St Kilda and bought fish and chips at a shop owned by Rex Hunt. I forgot what it was called but I know the fish tasted really nice. After the lunch we all went our ways and I kinda got an allergic reaction to the fish. Was very itchy but nature took its course and it all went away within a couple of hours.

Overall it was an eventful day. Saying goodbye to a friend is hard but it's wondeful to know that you can get to know someone and accept that they have contributed to your life in some way.

In other news, I know I'll be up tonight to watch Argentina and Germany. I've been watching the Essendon game and they lost by 7 points. Such a close margin this time but still a loss. Now that takes our win loss ratio to 1:12 which includes 12 straight losses in a row. *sobs*. Hopefully everyone is enjoying their holidays and having heaaaaaaaaaaps of fun. Take care from Hari.

Windows Live™ Messenger beta

2006-06-27T13:46:00.000+10:00

Finally, there is a new messenger service that looks very different compared to the previous versions. I've downloaded it and found just one problem with it so far which is that I can't see another persons custom emoticons. Otherwise I'd have to say it looks very nice and I think that it might be worth waiting for a while until the non beta version comes out. If you're impatient like me, you might want to just download it now and test drive it for a while.

Here's a picture of how it looks (and NO it's not my contact list hehe because my name isn't Laurel...). Wow these guys have very professional nicknames.

In other news, the socceroos lost to what I think was a controversial decision by the ref in the last few seconds of the game. The team did the country proud and the way they left the tournament will definitely haunt Lucas Neill and the rest of the team for a very long time. More soccer awaits with Brazil playing tonight. Should be a good day.

Soccer ~ Absolutely Brilliant

2006-06-24T17:41:00.000+10:00

My holidays have pretty much revolved around the soccer. It's been over a week now and I'm still staying up late and waking up very very very late. It's great. At least with the soccer on, I have something to do. It may not be productive but it's something hehe.

I woke up at 4:30am to watch the game between Australia and Croatia a couple of days ago. It was a special game. When you've seen the struggle of Australia trying to make the World Cup for so many years and always missing out at the final qualifying stage, you just can't help but feel how special each game is for them. I've definitely found another favourite team now besides Denmark. The game had its highs and lows but in the end, the awesome strike from Harry Kewell gave Australia the draw. Since Brazil had beaten Japan, it meant that Australia qualified for the round of 16. When Harry scored that goal I felt so overwhelmed. The feeling was amazing and I can't wait to watch the game against Italy.

Talking about soccer still, yesterday I watched a documentary about David Beckham. It was entitled "David Beckham - A Footballers Story". I loved Beckham's set piece strikes since watching him play for Manchester United but I was always in doubt of his character. Before I watched the documentary, I thought he was somewhat like Shane Warne who abused the power he earnt due to his talent in cricket. After I watched the documentary, my view of him has changed immensely. I have so much more respect for him now and I think he is a superstar. I put a clip of his strike against Greece below. This was a game which needed to be at least drawn for England to qualify for the 2002 World Cup. The score was 2 - 1 in favour of Greece. It was the 93rd minute and Beckham had one shot to put England into the World Cup. Check out what he did.

Here is a video that someone made after Beckham signed up for Real Madrid. As you can see, it's by a Manchester United fan.

Finally, this is the goal that Beckham scored from the half way line. The picture is a bit fuzzy but you'll know he scored hehe.

Hope you all are enjoying your break. I'm still looking for things to do because once the world cup finishes, I'll be bored like crazy. Take care everyone. I hope to catch up with some of you during the break.

The death of an old tagboard ~ The birth of a new one

2006-06-23T16:53:00.000+10:00

I had to say goodbye to this tagboard. After changing the layout of this webpage, there was no way I could keep it as it wasn't able to fit within the margins of the side bar. I was able find another tagboard that did fit and so I will be using that from now on. It is the same one that Iksy uses but that's between me and whoever is reading this (hopefully not Iksy). hehe.

As a tribute to my old tagboard, I have pasted it below so that it's memory will live on forever. *music starts playing in the background*.

Good luck to those people having their final exam today. i.e. Sze Chern and the genetics crew. After today, everyone is officially on holidays. Hooray!

A New Look

2006-06-21T16:05:00.000+10:00

Well while I've been at home today, I decided to do some blogspot template editing. I managed to play around with this really nice template that I found. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful in changing the TagBoard size hehe. So it looks like it's gonna bulge outside the border of the sidebar for a while. Otherwise I think it looks nice and I'll stick to it now coz the codes take too long to play around with. Hope you enjoy the new look.

Get a Mac

Exams Are Over ~ Holidays Begin

2006-06-16T20:18:00.000+10:00

Wow. I've actually completed my final exam and now I'm in that "stoned mode". I feel like I want to run around crazy to celebrate but you have to take into account the fact that I only slept for 3 hours the night before lol. Hence the "stoned mode". Don't ask me how the paper went. It'll spoil my fun. Party time (at least until results get released). Yay. I am in this euphoric state. LoL. So pleace excuse me if this post seems to ramble on and on and on and on and on and *slap*. Ok ok I'm back. Hi =P

Well in other news I was being very naughty during the exam period and watching the soccer. Come on man. I couldn't help it because soccer is soccer and the world cup is the WORLD CUP. It's a one time thing. You could tape it and watch all the games later but what's the point of that. Hehe. So much soccer on TV to keep me busy for at least half of the holidays. Talking about soccer, the Australia vs. Japan game was an awesome game and had me on the edge of my seat. I am a Danish supporter but many of you may know that Denmark didn't make the cut this year. If you didn't know that then you know now (pointing at bips). So I decided to hop onto the Australian bandwagon. They're rockin already. Who would have expected it to be a 3:1 win. Wow. Speechless!

This guy is the brains behind Australia's awesome rise onto the world stage. Guus Hiddink is his name. I think he uses scare tactics. It's working on me.

Here we have the Australian team. My favourite player is Number 19 (Josh Kennedy) who is the dude with the long hair. He's not really well known and only played his 2nd international game against Japan. I think he rocks! He's got a great game and it's really enjoyable to watch someone who takes the meaning of skills to a whole new level.

Now that I've talked about my Australia fascination, I have gotta say that this weeks episode of Lost was absolutely the best. Click here for episode 17's secret clue. The plot is getting so twisted and I absolutely love it!!!

Anyways my euphoria is dying down and I need to find a way of preventing people from spoiling the end of the season of Lost and Prison Break for me. It's hard to keep watching when the USA airing of the shows has already finished and I'm still like 6 episodes behind. Grrr. Anyways. I said anyways again. Hmmm... Anyways (=P) I'm off now but I'm sure with this being the beginning of my holidays, I will have a few things to talk about.

My Last Exam

Newspaper Confusion

2006-06-10T19:42:00.000+10:00

Today is Saturday. As a Uni student, I took it upon myself to purchase "The Age" card this year as it offered a very cool Saturday delivery service. For the past week I've been getting two rolls of papers on my doorstep. One of the rolls has the main Age paper in it. The other roll has the extra magazines such as A2 etc.

Anyway, today I went out to get the paper. It surprised me that there was only one roll placed at the doorstep. I ducked under the car and had a look in the bushes for the second one. Hmmm. It was quite odd. This had never happened before. I then gave up my search and picked up the paper from the ground. I didn't really pay attention to the contents of what I was holding until I went inside. As i tore the plastic cover away from the underlying newspaper it became apparent that the newspaper that arrive was in fact the HERALD SUN!!! I seriously don't know what went wrong there. To be honest I have no idea how that is possible. I would have expected there to be no paper at all or maybe even both types of papers. But to have a substitution going on. OMG. It was really funny and my bro and I couldn't stop laughing as we looked through the paper. I am convinced there's more to the story. What do you guys think? LOL. Is there a newspaper fairy? Hehehe.

In other news, the World Cup kicked off last night with an awesome game between Germany and Costa Rica. Click here for the official site. Germany won 4 - 2 and there were a few amazing goals scored by the Germans. Go Kloser! Hehe.

I hope everyone is enjoying their SWOT vac. Hehe joke joke. SWOT vac is that time of year when brains just fry from overuse. Otherwise I wish everyone the best of luck with their exams.

How Lucky Are You?

2006-06-09T16:28:00.000+10:00

Your Luck Quotient: 71%

You have a high luck quotient.
More often than not, you've felt very lucky in your life.
You may be randomly lucky, but it's probably more than that.
Optimistic and open minded, you take advantage of all the luck that comes your way.

How Lucky Are You?

I guess luck is a relative thing. Sometimes you feel lucky and sometimes you don't. Wishing everyone the best of luck for the rest of their exams.

MSN Malfunction

2006-06-09T13:41:00.000+10:00

LOL... check this out... I signed into msn a couple of days ago and found out my contact list was all gone... my prison break avatar is still there =P... luckily it was just a glitch and everyone came back after I signed in again... oh how technology is so mysterious...

Let the exams begin

2006-06-05T18:45:00.000+10:00

I just had my first paper today and have two more to go which are not too far away. I don't think the next three weeks will be thrilling enough to post here so I think anyone reading this will notice my absence.

Until I post again I wish everyone the best of luck for their exams. It's just that time of year again I guess. Take care and hope to catch up with everyone once exams are over.

Study Tips

2006-05-24T23:39:00.000+10:00

As everyone is well aware, exams are just around the corner and we're all making that final dash to the finish to try and score in all our subjects. Um... right... Anyways I found this website titled "Preparing For The Finals: A Pass-It-Yourself Guide" and the link to it is http://www.netfunny.com/rhf/jokes/92q3/finexam.html

I hope that it'll destress anyone reading it because it did make me laugh. Quite a lot actually =P. Maybe I'm just easily amused or my brain is going through that phase where I cannot seem to understand any emotions that I feel. The following is one of the few "study tips" mentioned on that site.

Enjoy

(4) That Interim Period Before A Final: Things To Do ================================================
So now you are all done with studying. You have read all thenecessary chapters and done most, if not all, of the exercises.What do you do in that interim period right after you finishedstudying and just before the final? Do you sleep? No! Do youdo your laundry? No! Do you bath your pet hamster? No! Check first to make sure that all of these important chores have beendone before putting your life in the hands of the examiner:

(a) Inspect cheat sheet and see if it has been properly photo-reduced so as to render intelligible all important formulae, theorems, lemmas, and corollaries.

(b) Arrange to meet with professor two hours before exam, and utilize brown-nose skills to extract every last bit of information about the test. This might not always work.

(c) Check to make sure that all pencils are sharpened. Plan on sitting as far away as possible from annoying student (there's one in every class) who likes to borrow stuff from other people.

(d) Also plan on sitting as far away as possible from students who make whistling noises with their noses because of overabundance of nasal hair. This can get very annoying.

(e) Draw mental plans of building where exam is to be held. Note exits and entrances, location of restrooms, water coolers, stairwells, sharp objects, and the like. This might come in handy if you might have to beat a hasty retreat for being caught cheating.

Fort Minor - Where'd You Go

2006-05-20T16:28:00.000+10:00

I really like this song and since I found a link to it I thought I might as well post it here.

Lol. While I was loading this song, I forgot to deactivate the "autostart" feature so yes once again I was shocked when I could hear stuff when I entered this page. Anyways I've deactivated it now so it wont just randomly start playing for whoever is reading this.

Enjoy.

P.S. This is a "G" rated version of the song so I'm sorry if it's not hardcore enough. However, if you can lip read then you can rate it any way you want =P.

It aint over till the scary lady screams

2006-05-18T22:19:00.000+10:00

Wen Jun has officially given me a heart attack. It was so damn funny seeing my reaction though.

Ok ok you may be wondering what I'm talking about so I'll start from the beginning. It was a cold night. The heater was on and I was reading my oral presentation to myself on a loop. Little did I know that my boredom would make me click my way to a certain xanga site owned by the psionic himself. Ok now that I'm on Wen's page, I was looking for some eye catching stuff and there it was... a link to some site followed by the enticing words "click if your bored" or something along those lines. I clicked it with the anticipation of not being scared. I was standing by that fact as I successfully got to the 3rd level of this game that I had entered. It was a maze and my aim was to get to the end. Fun? Yes. Suspicious? No. A narrowing in the maze caused my eyes to focus closer to the screen and that's when it hit me. I had been lured in. I was however at the point of no return. My speakers placed a distance from my computer were unreachable and my eyes were only centimetres from the monitor.

Then it began.

A girls face appeared on the screen and my speakers screamed at me. Scared to death, I closed my computer up and disconnected the speakers. OMG! I never could imagine a scene where I'd be so petrified that I'd pull my computer apart just so I didn't have to witness that scene again.

LOL! I have now been inducted into the hall of shame where I can be recognised with famous people who got their names from being scaredy cats =P. I didn't wanna put the link here because of the fact that I'm just scared lol. I'm off to continue what I put off which is rehearsing my oral.

Peace.

As easy as ABP

Just wishing all my wonderful friends in biomed all the best for their presentations on Thursday and Friday. We've worked hard to get this far and there isn't much further to go. We can do it!
