Life and Dream~

Hey buddies! In the previous I mentioned that I will write new post about friendship as its theme, but what to say, I'm so sorry that up to now, I haven't got enough time to type it down and post it, but maybe next time, I will sure post it!

How r u now Ngell? With your second term?
Look like idiot in kitchen uniform!:$

Aaaahh~~ it's so crazy my friends, busy as hell! Lol. Not to be over, but really, compared with my first term, theories, this time is really like 10 times busier! Plus for this first 5 weeks I got the shift in the Back Of House (BOH) a.k.a kitchen!!! Never even once in my mind crossed that I would be working in the kitchen and dealing with sharp huge knives before, working for almost 12 hours nonstop 5 days a week, chopping, preparing foods, platting, cleaning, washing, everything! I can't lie that I was so afraid at the first time, especially to see the knives set we got, and few friends cut themselves accidentally, yeah, I'm one of the type that can't hold to see blood. >,< eeerrrr,, I even got a thought of giving up before, even after the second day of work, I felt like dying, whole body aching everywhere even fingers!!! Waking up very early everyday and start working directly.

I bet no one could imagine how tiring is that, preparing meals for approximately 300 people every meal time, busy as fck man! Haha! But yeah, after passed one week, now I start to get use with the busy n tiring condition, and as one of my best mate said, although I complaint a lot, she knows that I will still put the best effort when I'm working. Sure I am! Although there's lot pressure esp for kind person like me, it is so hard, but everytime I'm dealing directly, I will always put all my focus on it and make it done. And of course I'm so proud of one of my habit like that! *although I chopped my finger once and got so many scars too for 5days work* ;P hoho For me now, I acknowledge that as long as we have that sincere heart when doing any tasks, God will always bless us and make everything seems easier. I'm currently facing a new extremely challenging tasks to complete this 5 weeks straight in kitchen, where I never been in the kitchen before.

21.04.13~

With Puteri & Jeff :D
What special bout this date? Actually there's nothing special, it's exactly 3 months for me being in Sydney, starting my brand new life :D I have day off for this weekend, so me and my friends, Puteri from Indo same as me, and Jeff from hongkong went to Penrith which is about 1.5 hrs from Leura, where we stay. Usually we take train to reach other stations, but due to the trackwork, it was replaced by bus. We spent our interesting quality time, but what make me reach this blog page to write the new post is this:






View from above Leura station!!! ><
We went back from Penrith to Leura about 5++, and all the way in bus, I can't keep my eyes off from looking to the view outside, the sunset this evening was really amusing! It's so outstanding and unusual, even I could rarely feel sunset here, for like an hour I keep watching the beauty of nature out there, and keep wishing I would have a camera at the moment and found one nice spot to capture it up, but yeah I don't have one other than my Iphone camera and sitting inside the moving bus. At 6++ we alighted at leura station and I can't hold myself to run a bit up the hill and took some photos of the view then my friend simply asked why don't we go to Katoomba (next station) and go to the echo point, it should be great, without any longer, we ran to catch a taxi and off to Echo point. Unfortunately the sunset was nearly gone and my phone camera can't catch anything! But one thing that made us stay there for quite a while in the middle of strong cold wind without coat/jacket was the epic star rivers!!! And what made me really even more satisfied is I saw a falling star!! one out of those billion stars above me, fell in front of my eyes!
I don't care if it sounds so silly or ridiculously idiot, whatever, believe it or not, laying down on the floor facing the night skies under million of stars is one of my dreams since small! And for the first time ever I could have that moment comes true tonight! with really gorgeous view of stars above me, it seems so unbelievable for me, moreover all the stars look so close to us!
There isn't really many points for this post, but I'm just so excited like a little kid:p





 But there's always lesson to learn!
Cheers Buddies!!!
In life we should always have dreams, no matter how small, little, stupid, idiot, unrealistic or whatever it is, just at least when we own few of dreams, it could at least be motivation when we keep holding onto it, and even if we can't reach even one of your dreams, just trust me that at least you are now a better person with better skills, knowledges, experiences and etc!
So, never stop dreaming but just don't forget to keep walking in reality buddies!
Cheers!!!

Three Sisters, Echo Point, Katoomba! My phone can't capture the outstanding stars in the skies! :( sorry!

First life experience being an explorer :D

Hello buddies!! Here I am, back to continue my previous post answering the question of 'How bout Melbourne?' But firstly, I will say that it might be a bit long story but for me it's just another interesting stories to share! ;)

This is the pic of my temporary room:p
Continuing the previous one, after touchdown melbourne and find the bus to city, I met my super CLL (read: annoying) brother LOL, cause it's like almost 11 and after exploring whole day, of course I felt exhausted, but what made me so damn excited is to see the room that I'll be staying for several nights! Dang! That feeling bro! Having one whole room, big bed, desk, chair, and everything for your own, ohman! feel so nice, compare to the dorm T.T it's like so different my friend! I swear, really!! Although it sounds a bit too over, but for me it truly so damn good, I can get back all my privacy as if I'm at home!:') Before off to bed, I have some conversations with some of my friends in melbourne to catch up for a while and arranging our schedule :D Then an idea appeared in my mind out of sudden to write a topic bout "Friendship" *probably next post :p*

Day-2

The next day, I woke up so late, lol and then having video call with my parents for a while before my bro brought me to central and have malaysian food for lunch, and went to sunday market near the art centre, it comes to my mind to watch the theatre, one of my used to be dream, lol, and I end up buying wrong ticket, instead of watching theatre I watched stand-up comedy that luckily quite nice too LOL Yeap, my bro accompanied me whole day cause it's Sunday and he doesn't have to work or excuse I don't know :p but anw, still Thanks Bro, although you're so cll and cruel with me .__.


It's the pic of Melbourne Central!! :D



Day-3

Park Hyatt Melbourne, current target><
Again, I woke up so late, but I intended it, to save a meal, so I just need to spend for brunch:p and also my appointments with friends was on 3.30pm, so I have no idea what to do cause my bro left so early in the morning to uni or work I don't even know all I know he's gone when I woke. The real exploration is here! Went out to central by myself and i just know one tram stop near my bro's apartment, and actually I have no idea where should I stop if I want to go to Park Hyatt lol Guess what? I just stop randomly with my feeling in one station and turn on my GPS again, and yeah I spent maybe half hour walking to find that hotel, I planned to have my lunch there but too bad it's full so I just walk back again and randomly ride tram and stop again in the place I stop the first time, for me, it's kinda funny and challenging LOL


Then I walked again to QV and find some food for my brunch at almost 2pm, again, I'm clueless what to do where to go till 3.30 so I just walked around and take a look in random store until 3.30, my friend called and ask me where am I, I replied at Melb central, she said she's there and didn't see me around, and that moment I just realise I was in other place, and I was actually a bit lost, but finally I could reached Melb Central and catch up with them. They left on 5.30 and my another appointment with my seniors was on 6.30, so I thought I will just walk slowly to melb central again, that I don't even know I take the wrong way and almost reached Docklands -____- a bit too far from central and the same thing happened again, my seniors called and asked where is my position and I said, I'm lost, and I think I took wrong way, but I will walk back again, and yeah, i spent another 20mins for nothing but lost! LOL In short my story for today is lost and lost and lost, keep getting myself lost worst that I don't bring jacket and the wind blew so damn cold, but feel satisfied somehow that at least I ain't only stay in the same place.

Day-4&5

The 4th day my most loveliest aunty and uncle arrived from medan like finally!!! First of all, I can finally received so many stuffs from my mom, I got jackets and coats to wear too now LOL and got rendang too! hahaha one of my most favourite food since small. My aunty said that I look like lose quite few weights not even till 3 months here, and all she did for 2 last days is brought me and feed me so many foods! Lol. It's not weird, I'm close with my aunty and she's my second mom that also raise me up since I was born so she always treat me like her lil daughter. This 2 days were really nice even I slept in their hotel room for last night. Having last dinner together, and for the first time in my life I'm allowed to enter the casino! Lol so great, now I feel I'm mature enough :p
Simple family gathering :')

Day-6

Early in the morning, have to go to airport and it's a bit sad for me to leave melbourne, but I have to face the reality that I have to come back and continue my practical term. If Buddha gives me fate, I will back to melbourne again for my July placement! And that's all my motivation for continue striving again for next 3 months :D All I wish is to get a really nice job and earn as much as I can!:D Be tough, Stay strong and stay staunch, Ngell!!

I'm sorry that this post is too long, but that's my journey about, and I just don't really care bout the length, it's my life moments, my memories of being explorer by my own for the first time!

Hope that you guys could at least feel something or gain something from this post :p and seeyaa in the next post, that might probably be more interesting and universal!
Cheers;)

Explore, Explore and Explore!! Aussie Exploration+Self Exploration=Life Adventure!

And yeah! I'm back, again, for my third post buddy!! wohooo!!! Finally final exam done, and means I've just past through my first term out of 6 term! Feel so great. Today post, I will tell about my term break activity dude including my first time experience of traveling all by myself. Lol


After studying for 8weeks and exam on the 9th week, here comes the term break which sure everyone is waiting for, some of them gone for holiday and some of them gone back to their hometown, singapore, malaysia, hongkong, china, aussie, including indo, moreover, quit a few of my mexican friends like Isabel, Michelle and some others, including Fiorella from Peru, they are all visiting Indonesia! Dang, how can I don't feel envy that even them can go to Indo, while me myself can't go back to Indo T.T why why why? haha It's because my term break is only last for 10 days, and for me, I don't think it's enough for me to go back just that short time :p it will sure be even harder for me if I go back and have to leave again just when I start to feel back my most comfort zone.


Autumn in Leura, Blue Mountain while walking back alone :)
So then what did I do for this 10 days break? School's dorm is damn empty and they just serve brunch, how bout my dinner? haha it's ridiculous. I spent the first 4 days full by myself, I tried to be productive that I download all the materials for next term and tried to scan it, but hell no, lol, it's too hard:p hahaha so I tried another thing, and I decide to walk by myself to nearest one, Leura Mall (not actual mall for your info, just some stores in the side of road) and walk back to dorm, just to spend my time and count as sports too LOL cause the games room and gym in dorm are under maintenance -___- And then the next day I walk to station and went to Katoomba to find some food for dinner. And I realise actually it's not too bad to walk alone, although I still prefer with friends, cause I don't really like being alone ><
And the last day which is yesterday, I went down to city and met my cousin n his fam there, and I have to walk and explore this Sydney city by myself to find their staying place! actually it suppose to be reached just in 5mins, but I walked 20mins cause I'm not familiar LOL After walked for some moments and have late lunch together, I went off to airport, and again, all by my own.

Luckily everything just turn out perfectly, although got confuse a bit bout the transportation, gate, checkin and whatever, and I knew I might be so unfamiliar that's why I went there lot earlier LOL the plane I used for flying wasn't really good, I felt like being in the shaker and make me so dizzy for 1.5 hour! Again, even after touchdown Melbourne, my bro ask me to take bus myself to city -___- so cruel, I think now I could really be Ngell the Explorer! hahaha but anyway, whether I'm smart enough or lucky that I don't really found any difficulty and get lost. Thanks Buddha for make everything seems so easy for me :D 


Lesson for the experience this time:
"Once in a time, you need to try to walk by your own to measure your real ability. Just don't be afraid as long as you keep holding faith, you will be alright. Cause, in your entire life people will always come and go, you can't only rely on others, trust yourself buddy! In the end you will sure be so proud of yourself after all you've done and pass through ;)"


So! How bout Melbourne, ngell? hahaha
Yeah, sure I will tell more about my Incredible life experiences in Melbourne asap, probably soon after I done my trip from here, dude B-) so just be patient and stay tune LOL
See Yaa and CHEERS to everyone!

Growing up mean being 'Responsible' and 'Professional'

Hello buddy! I come back for my second post, so what will I write today? Hopefully I don't write too long. Lol Yeah, I'm having my final exam for this term now, and by finished today subject, means just one more last subject this monday! geez, the last is even the toughest subject, but in this second I just don't feel like studying and now I'm here to share with you. Haha 9 weeks of studying and now reach final exam, isn't it so fast? or perhaps just for me.

In the past few days, I have short conversation with one old friend of mine, she's really a master in my sight, she's good at everything, sports, friendship, social, include academic, she was in the same class with me until she was selected to join the acceleration class in high school, so I asked her a bit tips how to survive and she just simply said just be relax and enjoy everything in her cool way as usual. haha She's one of the people in my life that bring so much positive impacts, she is the one who change me from a super spoil little stupid girl to me now as independent girl who can stand by myself. 
yeah, maybe many people will obviously think and see me as a lazy stupid dumb fool girl who always play around and hate studying esp in academic thing and I admit it's true, however best word to say is I used to be that kind of person, if they know how strict and crazy this school I enter now, everyone will absolutely ask how can type of person like me survive? Even I asked myself too!
Being fully professional including the grooming! Wearing this kind of uniform everyday from 8am-5pm is now becoming my style .__. 



Now I know the best answer for this, it's all about time, it changes people, include me dude, what difference it is just positive or negative, and for me it's time to change myself to be more and more responsible with my own life, choice, decision, moreover start to develop myself as professional person.


I realise that I can't forever being a little kid, who can always get everything easily and don't care bout anything, do the thing I want, walk the way I wish. I could just be irresponsible and refuse all the consequences come after my decision to pursue my study here, I could just give up and go back and everything will be as usual again, I can stay at home, gather with beloved friends, do everything go everywhere as I like, change new dream and chase new goal, but no, even it's very tough for me at first, I just won't ever give up, it's just not me, buddy, now I'm learning to be responsible of my choice, I'm the one who make decision here, so I'm the only one who have the responsible too.
My friend is truly right, just relax and enjoy, now I could feel less burden and stop counting days although I really miss everything.







As Master said: 'The most important time is now' , so I better focus on what I got now, study for my exam, practice well for my practical next term and get the job I aim asap for July internship while the thinking and missing home feeling could be the motivation to put best effort.








Term break holiday is coming soon, so Cheers! ;)
