Please make the most out of your uni life.

When I first started uni i was like..yeah..this is fun..this is new..then after a while i'm like..yeah stuff it this is boring...and i hardly ever tried to "get into" the fun uni life- hanging around union house, staying in the library studying, using uni gym, being active in uni clubs etc..

I tried to squeeze all my subjects into one day so I would only need to go to uni 2-3 days a week from 8-5 sometimes with only 15 mins of lunch break.

Reason for that being : CBS going to the city everyday, PT takes ages and it's annoying, I wanna stay home and sleep in.

But now, I've come to approach the last days of my uni life.. as I've only got 1 more semester of uni left..I am actually really regretting not making use of my uni life =(

If I could've done things a lil bit more different, I would've:

• Be more active in clubs..i.e eventhough I was a subcommittee I seriously didn't bother doing much things =(
• Join uni gym with my friends
• Stay at uni after lectures to hang around more with friends
• Join Christian Union/Focus on uni ministry
• Studied harder for uni. i.e instead of just memorizing everything or leave things till last minute, I should've actually take interest in my subjects and try to do more consistent study, prepare for tute work every week etc.
• Pick more interesting subjects at uni. Come to think of it, I actually really know what I like doing now. Yes it is Accounting, and I'm happy i'm doing Accounting, but it's Accounting AND Marketing. Not Accounting and Finance...I've wasted all these years trying to do Finance and now I'm dropping it. Now it's too late for me to take a marketing degree because I have to do that from first year..sigh..
• There are all these subjects where I really wanna do now like "childcare education, marketing, creativity and arts, chinese cinema.." but it's too late for me to do now, because it's all offered on Semeseter 1 and I no longer have any semester 1s at uni =( sad face..why did I pick chinese for the past 4 semesters? lol
• Not sleep or muck around in lectures drawing pictures on ppl's notes and then coming home saying " yeah i'll read that later" but i never do and when exam comes i'm like ...huh? i did this?
• Go for Uni ball. I've never been to a uni ball =( I always wanted to go but..just..never got to =( I said I will go in year 3 uni but now i'm like which one to go to sigh.
• Drive to uni. Driving to uni is sooooooooo good you feel like, "less stressful" and less of your time is spent on PT'ing. Why didn't I drive to uni earlier

Sigh, after this long list of regrets, what can I do now to make the most out of my uni life?

For the next 6 months, I've already planned or hope to

• Spread my uni timetable out so I can hang around with friends for lunch
• Have Mahjong after exam party with uni friends
• Attend all of their 21st party eventhough it's all in the city
• Join uni gym/kungfu club to learn wing chun lol
• Focus more on lectures, do my readings, and my tute work
• Reach out more to my uni friends
• Attend some sort of Christian bible study groups
• Dye my hair some crazy weird colour because I can never do that ever again if I don't

Looks like staying in the city won't be a bad thing after all, yes, a bit away from church, but a bit closer to the place where I should be reaching out to...

Maybe God has a plan to let this happen. We'll see where He takes me.

Thanks God=)

Using a webcam

Today is my first time checking out the webcam on my new Eee Pc...and instead of chatting, this is all i got from using it.

Keep fixing hair and..

above are actually direct quotes.

I discovered a new talent!

PERFECT PITCH!

Tim and I were talking about perfect pitch today. We then decided to test ourselves. I sang a C and it was correct. Then I decided to youtube random songs on piano and test if I knew what all the notes were. Both of us being Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber fans, we youtubed "When I look at you" and "Baby". First note on When I look at you was..F sharp, Tim said G. We started fighting on who was right and ended up in the piano. and I was right! lol!

I found a talent that I'm better at Tim at!

Time to add to my list of things that I'm better than Tim: Languages, Make Up, Accounting, and Perfect Pitch.

I wonder if Andrew has perfect pitch too..

Anyway, those of you who wants to test if you have perfect pitch or not,

go to http://perfectpitchtest.com/

Click Perfect Pitch test, takes you less than 1 minute if you can identify 12 of them straight away.

And once you get this,

Congratulations! You're welcomed into the cool group!

7 reasons why I really hate Optus

This is quite an angry emo post so I would advise most of my readers to skip this and scroll down to read the conclusion only. However, if you're unfortunately still part of Optus, please continue reading.

Some American optus lady called me using the robotic read off the script voice. And this is how the conversation went

Optus Robot :" Hi, if you switch back to optus you're entitled to receive a free phone such as the Iphone"

I kindly interupted by saying
Gloria:: "No sorry I'm not intereted"

Optus Robot: but miss, why don't you allow me to continue telling you about these offers we have first.

Gloria: no please it's okay, I told myself before, I will not switch back to Optus no matter what you say.

Optus Robot: may I know why?

Gloria: because I don't like your customer service and I have really bad optus reception at my house. but yeah, mainly because i just don't like your customers service, like, really really don't like.

Optus Robot: oh okay, I will note that down, Thanks.

*hangs up*

Truly, why optus?

Here's 10 real reasons why I really hate optus and will not convert back to Optus again no matter what free new iphone they're going to give me

1. The connection really really really suck at my house. The longest conversatoin = 30 seconds then it goes hello? hello? hello? then hangs up.

2. Back then, the deals were extremely expensive and a rip off. I signed up for a $35 plan + $5 handset and I only had can't remember, but very very very little credit. I know now they've improved and caught up with 3 but too late

3. My phone died after 1 year+ I went back and see what could be done. I tried cancelling the contract and was willing to pay the fee. and guess how much it cost? $500+ the remaining fees 500 bucks? 3 quoted me 50 bucks and the 3 lady was even nice enough to let me wave off my fees. and so I decided to continue with my contract paying $41 a month for nearly a year without even using much credit because that was more worth it that way.

4. Can't do automatic roaming through the net etc, have to call stupid customer service. Once, at the airport, it took me nearly 2 hours to reach them that I could memorize those annoying music in the background. 2 hours just to transfer to get to customer service?

5. I had a couple of troubles with my phone before and I went to a physical optus shop. The service was so bad that they seemed really impatient with me and all they know how to say is "call customer service", once, the guy just handed me a slip with the customer service number without saying much at all.

6. When you call up customer service, not only it takes you AGES to even reach someone that can help you, after the person picks up the phone, uses robotic voice to read off the script for 5 minutes, after that you have a chance to speak, but, you need to take another 15mins answering stupid questions before you could get into the real topic.

6. After my contract ended, it was my own fault that I did not cancel it straight away so optus kept charging me $41 for 6 months eventhough my contract ended. Yes, it was my fault. So i do not blame them, but what got me really angry was I called them up to cancel it, and the lady confirmed to me clearly that my contract is cancelled.

A month later, my bill arrived again. I called up, and yes, after wasting my time trying to get to them again, they said my contract hasn't been cancelled. No matter how many times I said I did do it they refused to believe me and made me cancel again.

7. Gladys was using my optus number at that time and the lady said she will send my mum an email on transfer of membership/number or wtv it is to fill in the form. My mum waited for 1 month and they did not send her the form.

After 1 month, my bill arrived AGAIN despite many times of cancelling.

Okay you get my story

Conclusion

Optus has really bad customer service, it will take you ages to reach their customer service and they do not do what you tell them to do or what they promised you to do. So please do not get optus. Thanks.

Anyway, I actually really do want an Iphone. I've told myself though that I will definitely buy an iphone with my first pay next year to..."reward myself.".

Alright to tone down this post, I shall post up some tiny secrets

I like Miley Cyrus
and

Tim has Bieber Fever.

Happy 1 year anniversary gym!

Today is my 1st year anniversary of going to gym. I wonder how long this is going to last for. 2 years? I doubt it.

A full time KPMG Audit employee + CA student would not be able to make it to gym. Unless the gym opens till midnight for me. Which is possible, because my mum told me she wants to make an "indoor home gym" at my new house. Who knows, it might be true, or it might be like another "aquarium chair" idea that is not achievable.

Let me reflect upon my 1 year gym experience.

I initially started going to Genesis Doncaster with Tim.

When I first started, I went to gym 3 times a week. I kept going for THT aerobics class, body pump, and normal gym.

3 months later, Tim decided to be a Bernadette and gave up on gym. Since then, he occasionally does 50 push ups a day and eats 1.5kg of gummy bears all by himself.

3 months later, I was a little demotivated because Tim doesn't go to gym with me anymore. Luckily, my gym buddy Joanne decided to join Genesis with me and since then I not only became a regular gym attendee but also made a very good friend =)

Within the first 6 months of gym, I was very tempted to transfer to either Fitness First or Aquarena with Yiing. However, I still stayed true to Genesis until I got pretty sick of their smelly weights machines with guy's sweat smell. Furthermore, I also didn't like the fact how 6 out of 10 treadmills would be "not in use" and you can never find parking within 5pm-7pm.

Within the first 6 months of gym, I've also reversed into someone's holden car while trying to back out from gym and that goes my first accident.

After 6 months in Genesis, in addition with my little increase of wealth from my KPMG job, I decided to take ove Xinni's Fitness First membership. My gym fees now have increase from $65 a month to $87 a month. Is it worth it?

If you ask me, I would say yes only if I go to gym 3 times a week.

However, since then, my last 6 months of gym, I started going to gym only twice a week. One body pump, one normal gym. My motivation for gym now isn't to lose weight, or get healthy, but simply because to justify the amount i'm paying.

Btw, within a year, my gym buddy has changed from Tim to Joanne to now, my mum.

I have to admit that within this year, I've probably put on 2kg in muscles and lost 1kg of fat. So all in all, I've lost 1kg in 1 year. Putting weights aside, I feel that I am a much healthier person. Whenever I stop going to the gym for let's say 1 week, I actually have this 'unhealthy feeling".
My diet has also improved since then. No more magnum icecream, 2 lunches, and supper everyday.

Good job Gloria Wong. Keep it up.

My goal for next year? Continue to make my muscles a fixed asset and lost another kg of fat.

Till then, we'll see.

My Weird Dream

Last night, I had the weirdest dream, I dreamt that Tim sold me on Ebay. and this is how it looked.

liao.
