Peace within

Like a drop of water, you bring life to a withered flower
The warm blanket of smiles envelopes this wounded heart
With a breath of fresh air, I am no longer suffocated

I am at peace.

Watson's bay

Went to Watson's bay on Saturday last week. It is the oldest fishing village, a lovely place with the most beautiful scenery. It was a bright and sunny day, and we had sudden cravings for gelato (or at least I had and apparently it was contagious). I had an awesome day out, and I just wanna share it up here on my blog.

Pretty pretty. White crested waves as they foam around the rocks down below the cliffs.

Apparently people like jumping off cliffs.

Lol and just a note, we passed by a nude beach on the way. Like it was below the cliff in which we were strolling. There were just old nude men. -_-" Although that view wasn't as good (LOL), but I would have to say that stretch of beach was pristine. The skies were so blue, making the sea a vast brilliant blue with white sparkles as it reflects the sun rays, and the sand looked like fine golden powder. Oh, and the sand and water were COLD. Quite a surprise to me for it was a warm day, and probably because I'm used to warm sand and warm sea water. I'm from Malaysia after all.

We had grilled fish. I also tasted a bit of fried fish and chips off a friend's. All in all it was an awesome day out.

We got back to the city by ferry, just in time to witness the sunset. Beautiful, simply beautiful.

Thoughts

Sometimes I wonder why I put myself through the emotional turmoil now and again. It's as though I have some morbid weird satisfaction from it. Go figure.

Today I feel calm and peaceful.

I am missing someone. But not in that twisted "I-wish-things-were-different" way. I'm glad.

I am not messing about with feelings anymore. There is such thing as enjoying company just for the sake of enjoying someone's company. Nothing has to be added to the equation to complicate things. To smile, to laugh. I think that's all that's needed to brighten up the world. No expectations, no wants.

Thank you. =)

My patience has its limits

I'm not one to complain about crazy sleeping habits, but this is getting on my nerves.

How would you like being woken up by somebody's incessant alarm ringing at the oddest hours of the night. (4am? 5am? 6am? even 2 am sometimes?) AND... the person who sets the alarm never wakes up, and it rings and rings and rings till you wake up and get angry and then it stops, only to ring and ring and ring again without the person turning it off (or only turning it off after a long long time).

Seriously, I cannot stand that many more days on this. I am deprived of sleep enough as it is, without all of this.

I wish I had my own room.

Even though my roommate is a nice girl and everything in all other ways....

I hate sharing rooms.

Winter Holidays

I had an awesome winter. I know the previous posts were all emo (like the pic, nice yes?) but those are only short moments at night, so please don't worry about me. =) I really appreciate all the concern though.

I'm too lazy to put this is chronological order, but want to share these. =)

What I did during winter:

Yesterday - Went to see Harry potter 6!!! It was awesome. The best so far.

Sunday- 19th June - Aroma festival at the rocks. wakaka this time I am the one who's lazy to blog about it. Visit Michelle/Ming xiu's blog to know more. lol

hmm mmm mmm

Oh well. Apparently my mandarin is not good enough. Can't do it.

Sigh. I don't have the job. =(

That's ok. =) No worries.

Nothing I cannot handle, right?

Training

Yesterday and today I have been training as a receptionist at the sleep and heart clinic in Ashfield. It takes me an hour to commute here, so it's very far. I'm here right now, on lunch break. I'm also damn nervous because my role requires me to speak mandarin to patients who cannot speak english. I have never had to speak mandarin for an official matter, so even though I am now able to carry a conversation in mandarin, it still scares me to pick up the phone and speak on behalf of a company... in chinese!!!!

They won't hire me unless I can do this. Can I? Tarc friends, this is what talking to you in mandarin has prepared me for LOL.

I should be able to.... sigh. Tell me that I can. Give me the confidence that I need. I confirmed two patients just now in mandarin. I thought I wouldn't be able to do that, but they were really grandmotherly haha and it went well. :) I CAN DO THIS!!!!

I will be left on my own tomorrow. Hope that all goes well.

Uni starts next week. I have only two classes on though. It would probably be good to be back. I am so broke I cannot afford to go out anymore.

I hope the study skills thing goes well and I will be hired to take some classes. It would really help me, and I know i'll enjoy it. OET is hiring me for the next one day test event, so everything is going well I hope.

I had a good winter break, I actually had a lot of fun, ate a lot of good food and went out a lot. =) Would post some pictures up when I have them. My camera has very bad mood swings (will only switch on when it feels like being nice to me).

I am also learning to let go. Shouldn't matter that you're now thinking of someone else. Shouldn't matter. Shouldn't. Doesn't.

I'll just keep myself busy. All is well.
