I will be taking a longer-than expected break from this blog because of the upcoming exams. I have tests which counts as final exams two weeks from Monday and have some remaining assignments to pass up. My law papers will then be on the 30th of May and 1st of June respectively. I will be back blogging then, presumably. Hopefully, I am able to squeeze in some time to blog, but at the present moment it doesn't look like it is possible.
Would love to hear from you guys. Drop a couple of lines on this blog, if its short its alright. I know you are all busy people at this moment. My personal blog is the:

Sorry for not updating for awhile here. Actually, since I got back to Perth a month and half ago. So, that's like not too long ago, is it? My parents are once again here for 6 months-- they will go back when I come back in July and they will leave when I leave in August. It's like I've never left home in the first place to study. It's a mere continuation of what I had in KL, but in a different environment.
For your information, my parents are living the life of retirees-- well, Dad opted for early retirement and Mum just followed. :) I guess you could say that we've packed up as well as moved from KL-- although we still keep a place in Kuala Lumpur. You could say it has not been an easy decision moving here-with the packing, settling down and whole hoop-la of new environment. However, my parents only thought about the best for us, especially my sister. My sister is still in high school ( Year 11= Form 5). For her, it is not only a less stressful environment to study in, but it also gives her space to develop. She only takes 6 subjects compared to the 8,9,10 subjects we take in SPM. And it spills over to her Year 12 TEE ( the equivalent of SAM). My sister is a crazy girl, but bless her though-- I salute her courage. Taking what is known as the "suicide" SIX-- Mathematics 3A and 3B, Mathematics Specialist 3A and 3B, Physics 2A and 2B, Chemistry 2A and 2B, English Literature and Accounting Studies.
On another note, 2nd year has started. What a start to the semester. A heavy semester, with loads of tutorials to attend-- my poor brain has started to ice up. It's like a mental road-block. Assignments after assignments, tutorial preparations after tutorial preparations, readings after readings-- for Law and Mass Communication at the same time, sometimes leaves me wondering why I ever did a Double Degree in the first place. Maybe at the time of selection, I was overly ambitious!
This year has somewhat been different: so many visitors coming from Kuala Lumpur. Maybe it's all due to the cheap flights that are being offered. Not to put down any of my friends, it is just that they all usually by-pass Perth for Melbourne or Adelaide. Firstly, one of my friends from church just came over to study Medicine. Her parents stayed for 12 days and 5 days respectively. On Saturday, another family friend is coming to Perth and staying for 5 days. In April, another friend is coming over for a few days. Then, in July, my family friends are coming over for 2-3 weeks for Winter. On 22nd July, my friend, Cheng Jin would be here for 9 days. But, I won't be attending to him at all because I am back in KL at that time.
So yeah. Here's to a busy schedule for the semester ahead. Blog more later, back to studies now!=)

One thing I love about Perth or Australia in general is the plentiful opportunities to attend concerts or musical theatres. Everytime I turn on the television, it seems that a new music concert or musical is going to take place here. It's like never ending and the quality of people who play here is pretty amazing, with diverse background in music genres. For example, Celine Dion is playing here on April 4th, whilst Maroon 5 is playing here on March 28th. For the rockers, Matchbox Twenty is playing on the 15th of April, and for the older generation, Rod Stewart is touring here on March 5th. For the James Blunt lovers, he is playing here on May 9th. For theatre lovers, Miss Saigon is currently in season now and A Midsummer's Night Dream is on as well. Russell Peters the comedian is also in town as his show is on the 24th. On Sunday, Kanye West was playing at a rock festival. I am not trying to make you guys jealous, but you get the picture?
On the contrary, university is just starting, today's like the first day. I have two classes today at 11.30-12.30 pm and 4.30-5.30 pm. It is quite relaxing, but I am dreading the foundation unit because its boring by the look of the book. I am sorry, this is like late- but to Li Ling (7th Feb), Emily (10th Feb), Zhun Kit(15th Feb)-- Happy Belated Birthdays to you all respectively. Hope you enjoyed the day and keep on succeeding in whatever you do and all your endeavours.
