Haha. He knows me so well. And his friends too :)

I went to the Postgraduate Fair at IDP today and GRRR SO ANGRY!!! I can't believe this! All I need is just a freakin' answer - Do I freakin' need to go through an audition for specialisation in Teaching. I emailed University of Melbourne's School of Music but they didn't reply me. I went to IDP before this. That lady obviously didn't know anything and instead kept asking me to attend the fair cos she assured me representatives will be there and they'll be able to answer me. I got all my result slips ready cos that lady said if I apply on that day the application fees of AUD100 can be waived which is totally great because AUD100 is a lot for me. So I went today, and it's fruitless AGAIN!!!

STUPID.

I wasn't exactly late, was there around 12pm and there were already people queueing up for enquiries at the many Australian universities' booths. But not all were long queues la. From what I saw, only popular ones like Monash & Melbourne were quite packed with people.

Yes. Long queue at Melbourne U's booth. So I waited for about 10 minutes before I got to spoke with one of them. Then I told her I needed to know about requirements. She took out the book which I ALREADY have. Honestly, damn irritating la if really everything's already in the book or in the website do I still need to be there? Of course I got something I don't understand only I go there and ask one lah!

Reminded me of that stupid ang moh in Melbourne U's School of Music I met when I was in Melbourne. Stupid ang moh told me to go back and check out the website after I asked her a lot of questions she couldn't answer me. STUPID. OF COS I'VE READ THE WEBSITE LA IF NOT WHY I KNOW MELBOURNE U HAS MUSIC COURSES! WHY I WENT THERE. I said I wanted to meet someone who's in the faculty because I need to clarify about things. That stupid fat ang moh (*touch wood!) just wouldn't move her fat ass to arrange for me and asked me to check the website. STUUUUPID. No wonder she had to work there. With that kinda stupid attitude she'll probably have to work at that counter for the rest of her life lah.

Ok anyway, back to the fair today. Then I told her what's my problem and in the end, she too couldn't answer me. It's seriously very confusing.

I want to take the Masters in Music Studies by Coursework in Performance/Teaching. And in their website, it says that students who intend to do the Performance specialisation need to go through an audition. Er... so what about Teaching?

I asked a lady from IDP before and at first she answered me "YES" instantly claiming that it's under the same category. But I don't understand! Why the hell must the uni mention only students under Performance specialisation needs to go through audition! It sounds as though students who wants to specialize in Teaching don't have to go through an audition! But it's not mentioned in the website!

Today I asked a girl. At first she too replied me just like the lady I met earlier at IDP, an instant "YES" but after a while, she told me she's not sure actually. And she say she'll check it out for me. Wtf. Then I asked her "So I can't apply today?" and she said no since I'm not sure of the requirements yet. WTF.

I drove all the way there and purposely brought all my certs and all thinking it'll take some time to apply and all. In the end I still CANNOT apply and STILL DON'T KNOW if I need to go through an audition.

But the good news is that, she told me eventhough I can't apply today, I can always apply through IDP another day and the application fee will still be waived. That's the first. Second is, she asked me to leave her my enquiries and that when she gets anything she'll email the info to me. Well at least, AT LEAST, somebody's responding to me now.

It's seriously so damn frustrating. I just want to know whether or not I need to do the audition that's all! Why is it so hard to just answer me? To me having an audition and not having one makes A LOT of difference! If I don't have to go through an audition, I can save a lot of my money learning violin! I can use the time to teach more and earn more money! I don't have to worry about getting an accompanist which means more money needed, and a place to record my audition tape! I don't have to worry about posting the tape and the risk of it being lost on the way!

But if I DO need to go through an audition, that's a totally different story already!

Haihhhhh why want to give Melb U money also so difficult wtf.

Graduation 2009

I have exactly only 5 minutes to blog omg!

While we were bored listening to boring speeches and waiting for our turn to go up.
L-R: Amy, me, Cat and Chooi Yin.

With Cheng Choo.

And after the ceremony, everyone went out to take more pictures. Omg super damn a lot of people and super damn hot ok! I was sweating inside out! Not literally la. My body usually don't sweat much but my head usually sweat the most. I told Esther, "the part where it's covered with hair only will sweat a lot" and she laughed hysterically. I don't understand, very funny meh? HAHA.

Haha check out Cheng Choo behind us!

With coursemates and juniors.

And then... surprise!!! No lah not really wtf. Hahaha. I was calling my dad and asked where they were and then he told me he lost mom. I was like wtf. My mom doesn't have a handphone how on earth am I going to find her in the huge crowd. Then he told me she's with Esther and I went "Huh? Esther's here?" Haha. After a while, we all met each other.

They couldn't find me at first so they called Cat! And Cat was with them when I saw them.

We were saying we should turn the scrolls around so that can see the "University Malaya" words.

Wai Tuck with his respectful camera which took quite a number of shots here.

I think I was calling my dad.

Haha my mom was looking at that idiot's flowers which almost blocked my face.

Quickie - Graduation

Ok I can't do a proper post now cos I seriously need to sleep otherwise I won't be able to wake up for the postgraduate fair at IDP tomorrow and if I don't manage to apply tomorrow, I'll need to spend an extra AUD100 just to apply myself and I certainly am not that stupid.

All I want to say now is that I've finally graduated and I am extremely happy with today! Seeing mom and dad there during my convocation and the smiles on their faces when we met outside the hall, I felt this really weird happiness in me! Looking at our pictures taken today only brought smile on my face again and again! And I don't know why I am feeling this happy! Maybe it's because I know they're proud of me, except that they will never say it but I can sense it.

And the best part of all my best friend was there! It was supposed to be a surprise but wtf, they all suck at surprising me haha! The only one time which they succeeded was during my 19th birthday haha. Anyhow, I actually didn't really think they'd come but I had a feeling that they'd come. It's weird I know, but yeah. They came :) And I couldn't be anymore happier! They even brought my a really pretty bouquet of lilies, my favourite flowers! (Actually my favourite are tulips but I know it's really difficult to get so after that, I love lilies too hehe)

Not only Esther alone, Sim Mei and Wai Tuck came! All the way just for me! Wai Tuck even brought his DSLR and took lots of pictures for us which I really have to thank him because they turned out so nice! And Sim Mei who helped me to take pictures using my camera when both my hands were busy with bouquets of flowers! And Esther of course who made the effort to come all the way eventhough she's rushing for her thesis and tests and whatnot!

ARGH WHY AM I SO BLESSED WITH SO MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE!

Ok. Actually I don't need an answer for that ;) I just want to be happy and that's all.

So this is just a thanking post without the pictures because I've not uploaded them. Will do it probably tomorrow night.

Once again, mom, dad, Esther, Sim Mei and Wai Tuck, I ♥♥♥ all of you! Thank you for coming and thank you for the thoughtful flowers and thank you for... making me happy! :D

I used to think convocation is just another troublesome, overrated ceremony always causing the traffic to be congested in uni. Boy was I wrong! I now understand why people just wouldn't want to take off the robe and the hat even hours after the ceremony! Even when the robe's so freaking thick it's so damn hot wearing it and walk around under the sun.

Lastly, thanks to all who congratulated me. Congratulations to everyone who've graduated!

The New Stand

The journey to both Sheraton and OUG today was trouble-free with my freakin' useful map book! Ok from now onwards, I shall make sure it's kept nicely and not thrown somewhere nobody notices.

It was really huge in real. Damn disgusting eek.

Bored at work place.

The Commission

I'm supposed to be sleeping now. I gotta be at Sheraton Hotel Subang tomorrow at as early as 8 goddddd. 8 am to me is such a dreadful hour to wake up at. Whatmore, I gotta be there at 8 which means I need to spare at least 2 hours before that for preparing myself, getting there and the ungodly traffic. If it isn't because I'm in dire need of money... oh well. I'll be there to help do some accompaniment for some students' violin exams.

Everyone knows my fate with unfamiliar directions and getting somewhere new -_- Luckily I have my trusty map book. It's a book of the whole of Klang Valley's map. Every single detail. It's such a useful book because it has helped me a lot of times! The last few times I got lost, it was because I didn't have the book with me. I couldnn't be bothered to find where I've kept it, that explains the horrible experiences in getting everywhere. Wk bought that book for me before he left for Melbourne 2 years ago and I must say, it's the best thing he has ever gotten me lol. He must have known how I suck at with directions.

I've checked my way to Sheraton and please oh please let me get there without any trouble at all this time!

By the freaking way, I just discovered that my violin teacher gave me the wrong directions!!! -_- It's so damn wrong because she told me that I'll pass 2 tols when actually, I'm supposed to pass 4! FOUR and that is a lot of difference ok! Because she gave me the directions I followed it blindly and got lost! I've checked the map and the shortest route would be to take Kesas and pass by 4 tols. I won't need to get through so many tols using Federal but I've calculated, it's a longer journey. A lot longer. So I've decided to just stick to Kesas and see if my map will prove its functionality tomorrow.

On another note, I just got my salary today and it's quite disappointing cos I got a tad bit lesser than expected. And that's because of that freakin' one week's quarantine I was made to go through when I got back from Melbourne grrr. Because of that, I was only paid 3/4 of the month since their lessons were taken over by another teacher. Boo.

But on a brighter side, my pay actually has increased. I was given some new students and these new students are not beginners aka fees higher aka my commission higher. And besides, after exams the students eventually will be upgraded aka fees higher aka commission higher. So, that's good news.

Bad news is, I'm gonna be so broke this month. Gotta pay violin fees and I've just booked my graduation photo shoot. It's not cheap but it's a once in a lifetime thing so I really want it to be nice. I was thinking if my dad would urm...

The Pointless Entry

'About' page updated! But it's not complete yet. Will continue some other time. Today was a really boring day. Woke up at 12, onlined, had lunch, randomly visiting in the internet, then work and then came home and went online and here I am now. Tomorrow's gonna be another boring day. Hopefully I'll have the determination to go jogging. Haven't jogged since... forever. Gotta maintain that figure in that damn weighing scale or as Esther would call it, the 'fear factor scale' lol! Oh wait, I shall not maintain it but I must make it go 3 more lines to the left! Must must must! Ok bedtime.
