Progress in Swinburne - Week 1

Have to take so little class, so little time, so much stress for the week.
Especially in Science/ Engineering Maths (A)... and my DoTA...(lossing my skills T^T)

Well, there's always something good in the bad.

I got Miss Christina Yin to teach me in my E&Com Part 2 class, kinda fun and entertaining lecturer. Her basic English is superb, I can say. She amazed me not since the first day I met her, but before that.

In Public Speaking Contest I joined last year.

When she talks, I can fell the power of her every words. They are well-spoken and almost perfect. The pitches are well-balanced and nice to near.

And all I know is that she's a fine mother, together as a lecturer.

(When you have the chance, visit her office and you'll see a lot of her kids hand-drawn picture, everywhere.)



Miss Marlene Lu as our 2nd most favorable teacher, who has a cute voice and nice attitude. Not to mention her good patience in assisting her students. Even speaks louder than Sim Kwan Hua.

By the way, Chong said that she has a good choice of perfume too.
Haha...



Even though we know that Multimedia doesn't include exams but still we will be having loads of assignments to 'gobble' up in this small period of time. *That's a lot of stress to cover up*

Wilson Suai looks like a newbie but actually he already done teaching in Swinburne for a few years, according to my one of my friends. All I can say that he's a good guy.



Last but not least, Mr. Mark Lim, my E-Maths lecturer, and likes to mumble with a small voice which can't be heard. Sometimes he likes to joke about something we don't-know-what-he-is-talking-about stuff. He even speaks Hokkien in a certain time when talking to Chinese students.

(-_-lll *sweat*

Movie Review: "Patch" Adams (1998)

Robin Williams, starring 'Patch Adams'.

Even though it's a decade's movie, still I was touched by it's contains.

It's about humanity and laughter that Hunter "Patch" Adams tries to bring out for the world around us.

Based on his true stories.

The real "Patch" Adams

Hunter Adams was admitted to a mental care asylum (due to attempting suicidal) which runs with madness and insanity, filling all patients with more and more suffering. But later he found himself an answer which he was looking for all the time.

The 1st part that I like:
This is when a famous innovator who was put into the asylum because people thought that he was insane. His innovative mind sent him a good theory that we should look behind our problems and see the future, instead of sad about the blockage in front of us (this is when he shows his 4 fingers around people and asks them what they see.) This is the part when he got his nickname - "Patch". By patching the innovator's leaking paper cup while having conversations with him.


If you answer it's number 4, then you are focusing on your matters. It's actually more than 4. It's 8. Just look behind the 4 fingers, there are more fingers (hallucinations), there are 4 of them, which are the solutions of your obstacles.

Simple. Just be innovative, be smart, be optimistic with your problems.

His casual suit

When he was fooling around the general hospital, he saw patients suffering from not only illness, but 'dullness' and 'despair'. Those people doesn't have the doctors' respect, giving them constant pressure and inhumane looks and talks, just like lab animals. "Patch" went to the rescue by being a voluntary hospital "clown", to entertain all the 'lack-of-fun' patients.

The 2nd part that I learned:
Respect others no matter who they are, how they are, what they are. They are still humans. Try to help when they need, even say 'Hi' should light up the rest of their days. Racism is one of the matter. But try to understand others' feelings, putting their conditions into yourself, imagining you are one of them, putting yourself into their shoes.

Even though they don't fit into your feet sometimes... LOL

Jokes aside... or maybe not.

In the end he even setup a free hospital, named Gesundheit! institute.

Patch with poverty-stricken kids

The last part when he was judged in front of the medical school counsel, courting in hundreds of people, because of 'excessive happiness'.

He said: "You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you'll win, no matter what the outcome."

I totally agreed.

He also said that human are worst than illness, because doctors treat patients like animals instead of humans. Even human, having wars and producing contamination and slowly kills the public.

In the end, he doesn't get kick out of the school, instead, he get more support from the people around him. Now, throughout the world.

Happiness' effects

We suppose to have a Yin & Yang, good side and evil side, balanced. And so should the world.

The New Beginning of 2009 in Swinburne

Class started at 12.30pm afternoon and it's kinda good for me as I don't have to wake up early. Plus, my Programing 2 class was canceled because it's tutorial, seeing that Ellen and Hiroshi were tired of waiting the class starts, for nothing. Haha~

I have been worrying that whether I said something wrong to my Goddess that she has not been replying my 2 messages. Hmm... Or she went to other countries for a quick-holiday?

I met a lot of my old friends and some new ones. The one I was so anxious to meet is my Goddess who I haven see for a long, long time. But then I saw Brendan with Panda-eyes, dull-look, and lonely. *Wondering what's wrong with him*

I have nothing much to write these days, maybe I should make some review of what I watched during my Summer holidays, especially Robin Williams' "Patch Adam", which has been a good movie in morals and teachings. I have watched this for 3 times during my days, and now I baru understand fully of what Patch Adam's messages.

It was great!

End of Summer Semester (Report)

Phew... It's the end of Summer semester already and I haven't update my blog until now, with my 'neighbours' lousy connections back home.

Yeah, we all know that stealing other people's stuff is wrong, but using their internet connections for barely 1 hour can't hurt much, right...? Haha...


Ever since I came to Swinburne for Summer Sem. studies, I was addicted to "Facebook" for a few days, focusing on my "Pet Society" and hacked it once... or maybe a few times :P

Then later it was updated with their 'powerful' patch that banned 'money-hacking' and starting to 'kill' members by banning their either "Pet Society" or "Facebook" accounts.

But we'll find out some way to counter them soon... very soon... Muahaha... *evil laughter*


The LAN subjects were killing me back then, and needless to say that Malaysian Studies indeed the toughest one of all. I nearly die, trying to understand the facts and histories, not to mention my 'Sejarah' sucks so bad back in my Secondary Schools. I think in Malaysia, most people failed in this part.

Malaysian Studies shows nothing but damn boring stuff. Still, since it's a requirement from our Malaysia's Government - Education Sector, I'll respect you and try to pass this, even though you Governments didn't give me my freaking 'Yayasan Sarawak' Study Loan! Arghh...


In this semester, I did meet some new cool friends and there's 1 who's elder than me for 1 year. Luckily I'm not the 'oldest' back there in class. That's a relief. Haha...

Me and Ezra celebrated Vikki's birthday at The Spring right after school at about 9.00 pm, right after our night class, in Big Apple's Donuts on the 20th of February, in her 20th birthday. We boys hadn't try out those sweet stuff until that day and kinda fond of it, ending up we 'chia' her. Haha...

Then later we went to Jalan Song for a supper's quick bite... which last for 1 hour... not 'quick' enough. LOL

And she 'chia' us back in her grandmother's house a few days later with home-cooked meals, which we hadn't being eating for a long long time.

BTW, guys, I wish you good luck and job well done in your tests!


P.S. I just got my haircut at Ah Lung's Hair Studio yesterday, and I was so tired because lacked of sleep on the day before, on my living room's sofa. Then I fell asleep at about 9.00 pm, woke up at 5 in the morning and writing my blog at 5.30 am. Haven't been sleeping for so early for a refreshing morning on the 2nd day. Woah~ *smelling the fresh morning air*
