I apologize for the negative atmosphere in my blog :/ I've just been so depressed lately.
I start to get the feel I'm not as diligent as I did in my foundation year, the lesser the lessons, the more I procrastinate ugh
Right now I am busy preparing for 2 major reports for Management and Statistics. I can't believe how they seem 'do-able' but when I start my work, I am blank.
Statistics consume pretty much my one week YET they are not finished.. I can barely say halfway. Thanks to my level 999999 of procrastination ._____.
Management's due on Wednesday this coming week which say I only have 3 more nights to totally nail it!
This past week has been a long one I am sure the next is gonna be longer..
I pray for my inner will to quickly recover from its illness (procrastination) and get strong enough to nail the 'deadly' reports. I pray for sleepless nights ahead to pay off and for my brain, may it recover in no time from its short-term-memory illness. I pray for all things to fall into place til finals end. For my first semester of uni to pass awesomely. Please do pray for me too?
It's only my 9th week of being a uni student and I already feel like forever. No joke.
Apparently this time I'm taking quite long a time to adapt to something new. A further level of education I've wondered all senior high school years. This is truly the beginning of the independent world.
I can't believe I'm saying this but Uni life is hard. and serious.
It's either you work your *ss off and get rewarded, or fool around and fail the course. It's the least mercy of all the education stages I've been through.
"But why is it hard for you?"
I'm more of the procrastinator than the organised type of learner. Each week there is only one two-hour lecture and one one-hour tutorial for each subject, so in total I've got only 12 hours of school teachings for 4 subjects I'm taking. But no, it's not enough if you really want adequate understanding of each topic. The rest is expected to be self-study..which lies the problem for me.
Well if I can choose I'd rather have more of one or two tutorials for each subject per week. Just like foundi year where there are two tutorials each week for 'challenging' subjects. Oh and, with a professional tutor, not recently-graduated bachelor students. Yeah that would be very helpful.
Nevertheless, University life isn't meant to be like my way, yes I realise. It would have been harder to cope later in the work life if uni's educational system is arranged in a 'dependent' study manner..since I believe there won't be many 'tutors' or 'lecturers' any more.
So the solution to this is, I gotta play it well this time. In any way I possibly can. There's no other option that is more rewarding. Coz in the end, I'm going to look back at this moment, and proudly state.. " I made it. "

Nothing I do is right. Not even for myself. So am I supposed to live life pleasing anyone but myself? Is there a place where I even belong?
Hey guys! Today this post will talk about a most recent event I'm involved in: the Daffodil Day!
Cancer fact:
Have you guys ever realised... that 1 in 3women are diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85; and 1 in 2 men are diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85? coz I just do.
What is Cancer Council?
Cancer Council NSW is a community funded, community focused cancer charity dedicated to the defeat of cancer.
Through the development of prevention strategies, research into new treatments and cures, and by providing clinical and emotional support to those affected by cancer, we work towards realising our vision of a society where lives are not cut short by or their quality diminished by cancer.
We have the broadest reach of any cancer organisation in New South Wales and have been a trusted cancer charity for more than 50 years.
Daffodil Day is one of Australia’s best known and most popular fundraising events.
Each day more than 100 Australians will die of cancer.
Daffodil Day raises funds for Cancer Council to continue its work in cancer research, providing patient support programs and prevention programs to all Australians. Daffodil Day helps grow hope for better treatments, hope for more survivors, hope for a cure.
To Cancer Council, the daffodil represents hope for a cancer-free future. You too, can help in the fight against cancer by participating in Daffodil Day. Daffodil Day merchandise is on sale throughout August, and you can donate to Daffodil Day at any time.
For more detailed information, or if you simply wish to witness some beautiful web design (not kidding)... care to drop by at https://www.daffodilday.com.au/ :p
So this year, I get myself registered to volunteer in one of their fundraising events here in Australia which is held next Friday, August the 24th! This will involve selling merchandise at Darling Harbour from 2pm-7pm.
Here is the list of merchandises I'm helping to sell!
I am so excited I can be indirectly involved to cure cancer or at least help raising public awareness of cancer issues :D oh well I hope I've raised your awareness if you care to read this far ;)
Ok I'm convinced! How can I help? :)
There several possible ways you can help. See, if there is a will, there's always a way ;)
But... the easiest one would be to raise awareness, starting from your closest people: Family, friends, boyfriend(s), girlfriend(s), teachers, colleagues...by sharing the videos to your social network pages, or more excitingly....wear Yellow on Daffodil Day!!
You can also donate!
For those residing in Australia who wish to donate for the beautiful Daffodil Day (sorry no way for other countries :x) you can find out about it in the website, which is HERE :D

Updating to wash away the negative 'aura' of my blog due to the complain posts recently.
Life's treating me good recently, and I thank everyone who makes effort to colour my day :) I guess talking (either face2face or chatting) or meeting with people can easily brighten up my day! Yes those 'trivial' things others may regard is a 'big' thing to me :D
Soon I will have my dad within arms reach and I can't be more glad! The only thing is...... assignment, duing in 4 days which is NO GOOD. Pleaseeeeeee remind me not to laze around too much anymore coz I am seriously running out of time, with a chance of not completing the task with my best :S
Had so much going on this lovely yet hectic week I hope I can post the pictures in the next post!
PS. I am in the Rooftop Prince and Step Up 4 fever.... Han Ji Min unnie <3 p="p">
Hi!
Tomorrow's week two of August, week 4 of semester 1. Two in-class tests will be held: Microecons and Accounting 1A covering materials week 1-2/3, worth at least 10% of final grade.
I've been relaxing all this while. Mostly the result of not excited about uni? (hm prolly) Uni timetables is crap, still I've got only 12 hours of classes a week. This makes me even lazier. (seriously what's with you Winny?) Just the thought of the assignments is enough to scare the hell outta me. Oh not to forget Management research essay (1000 words) due week 5. And. I. am. still. blank. have not even started from scratch!
I feel like fleeing from all this bullsh*t. My mind is still wandering anywhere except to uni. I'm still out of focus, adapting to the new education system which is 180 degree different from foundation's. and yet all the assignments have started kicking in, reminding me my time shouldn't have been wasted on all the laze I've been doing.
Tomorrow's the econs test and I have no idea what it's gonna be like. 45 minutes, 10% worth of writing task? All I can think about is the 10-minute, max 15 marks worth of question that I've been revising all day, the one I find the hardest. I don't wanna fail this, I'm going crazy really!!! Tell me what to do anyone?! ;C
