running

It's October soon. Running out of time soon. You know what.

Inspirational

"When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread. But a person who is shut out,who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out of society -- that spiritual poverty is much harder to overcome. Those who are materially poor can be very wonderful people. One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition. I told the Sisters: “You take care of the other three; I will take care of the one who looks worse.” So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed,and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand,as she said one word only: “Thank you” -- and she died. I could not helpbut examine my conscience before her. And I asked: “What would I say if I were in her place?“ And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said: “I am hungry, I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something. But she gave me much more -- she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. Then there was the man we picked up from the drain, half-eaten by worms and, after we had brought him to the home, he only said, “I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die as an angel, loved and cared for.” Then, after we had removed all the worms from his body, all he said, with a big smile, was: “Sister, I am going home to God” -- and he died. It was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that without blaming anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel -- this is the greatness of people who are spiritually rich even when they are materially poor."
by Mother Teresa

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is love, enjoy it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrowful, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.

I can't remember where I got this from. It was in my document files and I think I was supposed to put on blog. These words are very inspirational. Did I spell it right? Hmm... yea I just want to share these with my readers. :D

Selamat Hari Raya

It was Hari Raya on Monday.

Selamat Hari Raya!! to all my Muslim friends.

And they don't read my blog so I am just saying it to myself.

Raving about it

Sigh.. I had the time and the determination to tidy up the tags and categories in the main blog and the whole thing just decide to die during this time. I thought using computers in the campus network would be faster but no.. what a waste of my time. Yea I am a little free now. I thought of going to lab to work on the thin sections or the hand specimens to study for the lab test but there is a lab going there in the afternoons.

Now, this sudden urge to blog so much is in my head. But I had nothing to blog about. Yet though. Finals are coming up in 6 weeks time.

I kept raving about the finals coming up. Am I really that excited? I choose not to believe it though.

Paranoid

I want to feel a little free-r because I finished a lab test on Wed but I found out that I have another lab test in 2 weeks time. Being me, I always try to study first and prepare more. I got some of my lab assessment back and it wasn't too good. Maybe I expected too much. Well, that just tells me that I need to work more on this term's assessment. I don't want to mess up. I know I just want to pass but at the same time, I want to be able to get a better grade than my usual grade. Sigh..

Travelling around

I actually have been wanting a car since I came to uni. But each time, I kept telling myself that I can survive without one. But I still want one. I grumbled a lot when I go to supermarket and having to drag all the groceries back in the bus or walk back if I went to nearby supermarkets. I am not exactly ok with walking so much due to my field trips.

I don't exactly want to rent a car just to go to supermarket. It's stupid to spend the extra money on that when I can just take the bus or save the money just by walking. If I have companion or friends with me, maybe I won't compain so much.

Of course, car leasing is a good idea if you are travelling around. It's good idea if you are travelling around in South Island or North Island. There are so much sceneries to see and you would miss out a lot if you don't lease car. Somemore, this car leasing can deliver the car to your door. What a good idea. It is definitely worth it to check this website out.

Relax

I feel like I have been doing a lot of study during these 2 weeks break. Afterall, all the mid term breaks that I had was only one week or two weeks and during these times, I had other things to do. So I feel that this break I have done more stuff too. =)

Right.. I shall relax for the rest of the week before uni re-opens for the lectures.

Break is finishing

This week is the last week of the break before lectures started again. Then, in six week times, study break and finals are coming up.
You know it's not too late to enrol for college. If you are staying in the northern hemisphere, now is the perfect time to look for college to study your choice of degree. Or if you don't want that and just want to do some career training at community colleges, you can do that too.
For those who are staying in the southern hemisphere and looking to sharpen your skills in training or just want to study a degree, it's not too late for you. It's even better if you like to travel around and at the same time, experience new location.
Wow, there are so many College Degrees to look from.
I also browsed for my choice of degrees and I saw aerospace engineer. Sounds interesting. I actually wanted to study that in my first year. It's not too late I guess. Somemore, this university is probably offering degrees online. Even better, I don't even need to go there. I can choose to go to different state if I do decide to go. =)
