Australian Open 2008 FINALS

Novak Djokovic (left)
VS
Jo- Wilfred Tsonga (Right)

It was an extremely good match! One of the best I have ever seen I must say.. It was the Australian Open 2008 Men's Finals.. It was between Novak Djokovic and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. These two young players must have shocked the world when they qualified for the finals.. Well, at least they shocked me.. who would have though that both Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal would have lost to these two young blokes? Yet again.. tonight's game was intense.. history was made tonight.. definitely.. must have been one of the best matches ever.. both players were extremely quick... leaving their opponents with no time to think about their next move.. this game was played purely based on their instincts due to the speed used tonight.. none the less, it was an excellent game.. especially that moment of victory on Djovokic's face.. You could tell that he did not expect to win that way.. that one foul ball from Tsonga delivered Djokovic his victory.. Good game.. good game indeed.. :)

The difference between Ping and I

hahhaa.. After posting the previous post on Cadence, I came across a conversation I had with Ping today.. hahha.. super funny.. but yeah.. it is the truth without a doubt.. For as long as I can remember, Ping and I have never ever ever agreed on a single guy who we both think is good looking.. hahaha.. complete randomness, i agree.. hehehe.. to further elaborate what i mean.. this is what she said to me today:

ping says: (20:54:07):

ping says: (20:54:09): HAHAH

-ME- We are nerds. Say yes to wealth. Say no to poverty says: (00:43:44): HAHHAHAHA


call me babi and still want me to be happy.. jialat la u cadence.. hahha.. none the less.. felt like blogging.. hahha.. thus the random posts tonight.. hahaha.. :P

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, yes OR no? :)

A random topic, a random title isnt it? I wasnt even thinking of blogging today.. hehehe.. but after two hours of studying (well.. trying at least, here in the library.. :P) I got super tired and had a nap on the couch.. hehehe.. yes.. here in the library.. anyways.. after being half energised.. hehehe.. i set out to have my daily dose of internet surfing.. hehehe.. and i came across ping's blog ( see.. i love you sooo much.. i just have to read your blog everyday.. hehehe.. Missing u lots, hun! Come back soon! I'm sure McLovin wants you to too! :D ) and terread one of her older posts, sexism at a crossroad.

I posted a similar article in relation to this topic not soo long ago.. in conjunction with the post kenny sia posted on his blog. I stand firmly on my point and still think that men and women are just two entirely different beings.. What seems stupid or unsensible to a man may seem to be the sweetest thing ever to a woman.. it just proves how different the two mindsets are.. heheh... anyways, like what i said this is a completely random post. Thus, the most important part of this post would still be to read Ping's post.. :D hehhee.. it's a very interesting and enlightening post.. enjoy! Have a good weekend everyone! :)

Reminiscene yet again...

I've been thinking lots of the old times.. hahaha.. the times in sunway.. the times back home.. last year when i came.. everything has been soooo wonderful.. i have been extremely blessed to have all of you in my life.. I miss you all soooo much!

At lunch, Keith, vocan and I were talking about our first year here.. how lots of us met during classes together.. it just hit me that with all the different majors we're all going to take this coming new year.. are we all still going to be as close as we used to be? Will we still have sooooo much to talk about? will we still be able to share all our likes and dislikes about our tutors? are we still able to joke about all the funny incidents in class? Will we still meet up just to study in the library? Are we still going to spend endless sleepless nights trying to finish our assignments together? OR are we all going to be strangers? How would it be?

reading into one's character

What do we look for in a person? You know how people always talk about looking for that one person who is kind, sweet, caring, funny etc... is tat enough? Really.. wat are we all looking for? Definitely we want tat person to be sweet and attentive.. yet is that enough? I think being intelligent.. having a good sense of humour.. bold.. fun loving yet serious at the same time.. these are extremely wonderful add ons in one's character.. hehehe.. yet among the guys i do know.. hahaha.. i think the ones who do have these in their character.. there's just merely a handful.. hehehe.. and to name one of them.. WILSON YEO!!! hahaha.. now, dont say i dont heart you, ah fren! hahhaa.. I missing you and the rest 3 million rivers lo! hahaha.. and i'm still going to go up to whoever the girl is in the future and tell her.. "wei, u know how lucky you ah or not?" :P

The unpredictability of life..

As i sit here and type this, I have the song "God of Miracles" playing in the background.. ten thousand things are playing through my head right now... Life is sooooo unpredictable.. We'll never know what would happen tomorrow.. Do you remember the times when all of us would just say " no, i'll do that tomorrow" or " no, it's alright.. i let this chance slip by.. another one's bound to come my way tomorrow" or most importantly, when we have an arguement with our family and frens.. what do we say ALL the time? " it's not my fault.. why should i apologise?" and because of that one thought in your head.. siblings may start not talking to one another.. frens become enemies.. is it worth it? Is life that worthless for you guys to play such games? Often.. people only tend to regret their decisions when they've lost their love ones.. I'm not talking about anyone here in particular.. but i'm talking about how people react to tonnes of relationship matters in general.

You all must be wondering what made me think about all these things. In the span of two years.. two very close frens of mine have both suddenly lost their fathers.. I'm still at shock that it has happened.. I'm shocked and scared at the same time.. I'm sorry for my frens.. but i cant help but to imagine how MY life would be if it were to happen to me.. I'll be shattered.. I cant imagine and I dont wanna think about it.. All i can say is tat, cherish the moments we all have with our families and frens.. never let an opportunity slip your way.. if there are broken relationships, mend them.. before it's too late..

To my frens, I'm sorry.. I'm very very proud of you guys for being sooo strong.. everything in life is planned by the God Almighty.. be glad that your fathers have been with you for these 20 odd years of your life.. that he played such a major role.. and how he will always remain in your hearts forever.. You guys will always be kept in prayers.. Take good care of yourselves!

God Bless,
Ying.

Reminiscence

Do you remember the when we were kids in kindy.. going to the cultural village together and swimming lessons too?
Do you remember the times in primary school when we would just run around the school with no care in the world?
Do you remember the fights we all used to have in high school when we were prefects, class monitors and club presidents?
Do you remember the times when we would all just sit around and gossip instead of listening to Mr.Lee at Sri Sarjana?
Do you remember all the wonderful times we had at A8-02?
Do you remember our family tree?
Do you remember when someone was sick.. we were all sooo worried and finally came back together as one.. like a family.. like how we have always been?
Do you remember all the birthdays? All the Laughter? All the tears?
Do you remember the times we would all talk about our relationships? the advices we used to give one another.. the good.. the bad.. the support.. the feeling and acknowledgement that we would always be by one another's side always?

Time has gone by so quickly.. in a flash.. 21 years of my life has gone by.. I ask myself.. what have i done? what have i accomplished? Well.. one of the greates joy would be to have all these wonderful people in my life.. I miss you all dearly.. I wish you guys are with me here now.. none the less.. i'll see some of you soon.. the rest.. we shall meet during winter break! :) Hugz!

All my love,
Ying

My own Jolly Christmas break.. 2007

What comes to mind when one talks about christmas? Snow? Skiing? Santa? Presents? To me.. Christmas is all about spending time with people who matter the most to you.. your loved ones.. Christmas isnt about being in a cold country and going through a white christmas.. it means being with your family.. even if you're in a desert...

For me.. 2007's Christmas was one of the best I've ever had.. It was no white Christmas.. but it was fun.. :D Christmas came very early for me last year.. hehehe.. I guess going home has always been on my mind ever since I came to Melbourne last Feb.. Thus.. to me.. going home for the whole month of December was a fabulous Christmas present by itself.. :)

All started with me arriving home.. seeing my family.. going off to KL with mom for the weekend.. seeing my aunt who is there now.. spending Christmas eve with the whole extended family.. going to church on Christmas day with Cindy.. spending New year's eve with my closest frens.. Welcomed the new year by celebrating my parents' 22nd Anniversary.. Seeing my grandpa.. Spending time with my cousins.. :D

Everything went soooo well.. I wished time will just stand still.. But good times always fly by soooo quickly.. :s Am back in Melb now.. not tat I dont wanna be back.. but i wished more than ever to be home again.. :( Never mind.. shall be going to Perth on the 31st.. will be spending the week with aunt and her family.. celebrating CNY.. will be back in time for my parents' arrival to melb.. hehehe... :D

Cant wait! Anywyas.. below are some photos.. enjoy!

God Bless,
Ying.

A recap of 2007 and a plan for how 2008 would be like..

I'm soooo sorry for not having to post anything recently.. it's been such a busy month.. was at home.. hehehe.. it was awesome.. will be heading home again this winter.. thus people.. do not need to miss me too much.. hehehe.. :P

Now now.. a year has gone by and a new year has come along.. haha.. time flies doesnt it? What do i think about all this? Read on and you shall find out.. hehehe.. :P

2007... how should i describe it? It has definitely been one of the best years in my life.. yet at the same time one of the unpleasant ones too.. hahha.. soo many things happened in the short span of a year..

The highlight of the whole year would be me coming to Melbourne for my first year..

In 2007, I went without seeing my parents for ten months.. hahaha.. record breaking eh? hahaha.. In feb, I came to monash.. caufield campus.. and did not go home till christmas.. hehehe..

In 2007, I started going to church.. i accepted Christ.. I started to be more positive.. believing that He had already planned everyone's life.. that good things will always happen.. for God so love us.. :)

In 2007, I met lots of frens.. some frens became very close frens.. yet some frens.. started to drift away after a while... I went through a roller coaster ride of emotions.. of something I tot was there.. but i guess.. never was..

In 2007, I spent one of the best winters of my life.. i spent quality time with my cousins and their kids.. cousins growing closer.. caring more for one another.. :)

In 2007, I started to finally really appreciate the importance of family and how absolutely bless I am to have them.. for without them.. I would never be who I am today.. :)

The good the bad.. all has passed.. I will always cherish the wonderful moments I've had in 2007.. I shall learn from the bad experiences and move on.. :)

For 2008, I vow to be a more caring daughter, granddaughter, niece, cousin and aunt.. :)

For 2008, I vow to be a more faithful Christian.. and follow His plans for me.. :)

For 2008, I vow to be a better student.. Achieve my own educational goals..

For 2008, I vow to try get an internship in a desired firm..

for 2008, I vow to finish my assignments AT LEAST two (or maybe one :P) days before the due date.

For 2008, I vow to not think of any uselss or hopeless ideas which were never meant to be...

For 2008, I vow that I shall forget you... and move on with life.. I'm slowly doing so now.. :)

For 2008, I vow to be a better person, a better friend.. I wish all my frens well in this new year regardless of all your plans.. :)


All and all.. I believe that 2008 would be a VERY VERY GOOD YEAR!!!! Woohoooo!!! :D Hapy 2008 everyone! All the best in all you do! God bless!!! :D
