For me, this year has been AWESOME. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coming into 2010, doubts were filling my mind. How would life in Australia be? Will i meet good friends? Will i be homesick?.

Supposedly I was to head to the city by 11am. I was still in bed at 9.40am. After some incredible time management, I was there ON TIME (Yes, Ian is always ON TIME).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not knowing where actually I was going prior to today, I eventually found out that I was going to be going to a tulip festival. The train ride was LONG. After much struggle, we had arrived at our destination. The place was a frickin jungle, meaning that there was no network AT ALL, damm how to ppl even live there (soli :/). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, it was a fun time. Many pictures were taken (uploaded on facebook). Some nice, some not, some just random. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, its time for me to start studying. 18 days to exams. 35 days to the ultimate holiday (can't wait ;]). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to all who made my ten ten ten a memorable one, especially YOU :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Decemeber is THE month, it won't be long, it won't be quick, but it WILL happen ;)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4108378878053774817-4568557515333738953?l=iantayzhixian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iantayzhixian.blogspot.com/feeds/4568557515333738953/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4108378878053774817&amp;postID=4568557515333738953' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4108378878053774817/posts/default/4568557515333738953'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4108378878053774817/posts/default/4568557515333738953'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iantayzhixian.blogspot.com/2010/10/three-tenths-of-second.html' title='Three Tenths of a Second'/><author><name>Ian Tay</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108378878053774817.post-4082430616055223314</id><published>2010-09-11T21:40:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2010-09-11T21:59:13.592+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Kill One Bird With One Stone.</title><content type='html'>Hi people,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week has what I expected it to be. BUSY BUSY BUSY. In this week alone, I would have done 3 assignments, 1 test and 1 presentation. Yes, that would sound like a Medical students weekly schedule, trust me, I know how busy it gets :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, speaking about holidays, I know you probably are wondering "since when did he speak about holidays" right now, but, I did. YOU would understand if you read it properly. The holidays are coming in no time, no time being less than two weeks, to be less than exact. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For some, your holidays might have already started, or are starting this week, or have probably already ended, but i'm unfortunately fortunate to have my holidays in none of those that I just mentioned. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why unfortunately fortunate you must be wondering. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, unfortunate being that, you get to laugh at me while you're having your holidays, fortunate being that, I get the last laugh :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lesson to be learnt: Killing birds with stones is just cruel, so don't do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bobobobo :)&lt;br /&gt;imybb&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4108378878053774817-4082430616055223314?l=iantayzhixian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iantayzhixian.blogspot.com/feeds/4082430616055223314/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4108378878053774817&amp;postID=4082430616055223314' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4108378878053774817/posts/default/4082430616055223314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4108378878053774817/posts/default/4082430616055223314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iantayzhixian.blogspot.com/2010/09/kill-one-bird-with-one-stone.html' title='Kill One Bird With One Stone.'/><author><name>Ian Tay</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108378878053774817.post-4969645890087496845</id><published>2010-09-08T16:45:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2010-09-08T16:58:25.207+10:00</updated><title type='text'>The Dream of Dreaming</title><content type='html'>Yes, i've been having way too many awesome dreams recently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But to me, dreams can be divided into a 2 kinds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Firstly, dreams are those fantasy world-like happenings when you're sleeping. Personally, I believe those kinds of dreams are usually built from our very own subconscious state (watch Inception, TWICE). These kinds of dreams usually are a bunch of things that you want, all mashed up into a single thing (just like a candy store).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, dreams are what we strive to achieve. This kind of dreams are more realistic, in a way. This is because we usually have achievable dreams, such as winning the lottery and running a full marathon. I personally have a few dreams that I wish to achieve someday. I'm sure you have your own dreams too :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without doubt, this week has to be my busiest week of the semester. Despite having already handed in one of my assignments, the list goes on. A test tomorrow, 2 major assignments due next week, things couldn't be any worse. Thanks to those who have helped me get pass this few tortuous days, especially YOU :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After next week, i'll be a free man, (okay i'm starting to sound like I went to prison or something). The holidays are just around the corner and I can't wait to be back home AGAIN (YES, AGAIN).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, for now, KEEP DREAMING PEOPLE! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The time has come, so sit back, relax, and enjoy your holiday :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4108378878053774817-4969645890087496845?l=iantayzhixian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iantayzhixian.blogspot.com/feeds/4969645890087496845/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4108378878053774817&amp;postID=4969645890087496845' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4108378878053774817/posts/default/4969645890087496845'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4108378878053774817/posts/default/4969645890087496845'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iantayzhixian.blogspot.com/2010/09/dream-of-dreaming.html' title='The Dream of Dreaming'/><author><name>Ian Tay</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108378878053774817.post-8398137600499102339</id><published>2010-09-06T21:42:00.007+10:00</published><updated>2010-09-06T22:10:36.147+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Cracking Under Pressure 101</title><content type='html'>Hi welcome to your first lecture (refer to previous posts for a brief lesson on lectures)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You already know my name so lets begin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As almost everyone doesn't know,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went for my first scrabble competition in Melbourne yesterday..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The journey was, LONG, considering it was 8am in the morning. After like, 1 hour or so?, I finally arrived at Box Hill. Since it was still early, the place felt like a meteor had just hit the town and everyone had evacuated. Not a single shop open (cmon its 8.45 already and you're not open?). WARNING TO NON SCRABBLE FANS: You can skip the next paragraph :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok quit ranting about the place already. Anyway the rest of the day was ONLY 8 MATCHES OF INTENSE SCRABBLING. I ended with 7th place, with 5 out of 8 wins, after losing to arguably 3 of the best players in the field. For most of the tournament, I was within the top 5, until the Last Game. I just HAD to meet the number 1 rated player in Australia to determine my placing in the tournament (photo below). Not surprisingly, i got trashed and ended with 7th place out of 34 players. A consolation would be that the tournament was a qualifier for matchplay, with means that i'll be playing a knockout style tournament til i lose,hopefully not til the final ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bCxiBOjHhuk/TITX9oi6LfI/AAAAAAAAAMw/fg7ryLbjAC8/s1600/Match_Andrew_IanTay2_big.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bCxiBOjHhuk/TITX9oi6LfI/AAAAAAAAAMw/fg7ryLbjAC8/s320/Match_Andrew_IanTay2_big.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513769297664159218" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow, i enjoyed my first ever tournament in Melbourne and thank all the people for their warm reception while i was there. For those reading, i'll be back in JB in 17 days. YES I'LL BE BACK AGAIN. For those who ask why, its because i have the awesome-est friends who will be back as well :) can't wait to see you guys and gals AGAIN :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This concludes my lecture on Cracking Under Pressure 101. You may LEAVE the blogosphere now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 more, and you'll be back ;)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Sometimes its just good to be busy</title><content type='html'>No doubt, being busy can be a pain in the bleep sometimes, but imagine, if you had NOTHING at all to do, how would you feel like?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, taking me as an example, i am a very busy person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some things that keep me busy would be such as &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Facebook&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Echofon (Twitter)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-This damm blog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-My very enjoyable Playstation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-My iPhone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-The occasional assignment due the next week&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Facebook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a saying, Time flies when you're enjoying yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I highly agree with that phrase, but DID YOU KNOW, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That time flies even when you're not enjoying yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may not agree, but for me, this is true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Undesirable stuff that we do such as taking the laundry and doing homework makes time pass as fast as when we're doing stuff we like, for instance, NOT DOING LAUNDRY OR HOMEWORK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are times where i might be doing work for my tutorial the next day (not very often, and yes, Ian does his homework, *someone reading this makes a wish*), i may have started at 10pm, but once i'm done, BAZINGA it is 11.30pm already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lesson learnt: Whether you like it or not, Always have something to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(since

type='text'>Lectures Can Be Fun Too</title><content type='html'>Yes,  Lectures CAN be fun too :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of lectures, lemme give you guys/gals a brief description of lectures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lectures can be divided into 2 kinds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a)Lectures are sortofkindalike classes for a huge group of students (can be from 10-400 students lol) for a particular subject. Lectures are usually described as mundane (yes, there are many other words other than BORING) but there is a certain educational value from participating in lectures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b)Lectures are long, neverending scoldings from parents for YOU/ME (can be from 2-2000 minutes) for a particular reason. Lectures are usually described as hell (hot,stuffy, and makes you want to go bathe) but there is a certain educational value from getting lectures. (YOUR LECTURES HAVE BENEFITED ME MUCH, MUMMY AND DADDY)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow, We all learn something from lectures. However, as i mentioned, lectures are usually MUNDANE aka BORING aka SIEN aka ZZZ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, here are some ways to stay AWAKE/CONSCIOUS during lectures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Facebook&lt;br /&gt;-Twitter&lt;br /&gt;-Scanning (bro's u know what i mean)&lt;br /&gt;-Picking your nose&lt;br /&gt;-Blogging&lt;br /&gt;-Youtube (waiting for videos to load takes time too)&lt;br /&gt;-SMSing the person beside you&lt;br /&gt;-SMSing the person beside the person beside you&lt;br /&gt;-Doodling&lt;br /&gt;-Doodle-jumping&lt;br /&gt;-Counting the number of people in the hall&lt;br /&gt;-Counting the number of laptops in the hall&lt;br /&gt;-Facebook&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lesson learnt = Whether you like it or not, go for your lectures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've got you bbbb :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4108378878053774817-8361250385105542616?l=iantayzhixian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iantayzhixian.blogspot.com/feeds/8361250385105542616/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4108378878053774817&amp;postID=8361250385105542616' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4108378878053774817/posts/default/8361250385105542616'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4108378878053774817/posts/default/8361250385105542616'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iantayzhixian.blogspot.com/2010/09/lectures-can-be-fun-too.html' title='Lectures Can Be Fun Too'/><author><name>Ian Tay</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108378878053774817.post-2830816452110682321</id><published>2010-09-01T20:17:00.000+10:00</published><updated>2010-09-01T20:47:13.525+10:00</updated><title type='text'>The Only Time I Miss Home Is When I'm Not At Home</title><content type='html'>Yezz, the title says it all :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fyi i just got back from my short (SUPER SHORT LAH) trip back home to JB. Despite being so bleepingly short, i had the best time EVER. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although it was a very monotonous (cheem way for saying boring) week, I enjoyed it nevertheless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The usual day would be&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dog wakes me up at 7 -&gt; Breakfast with whoever i can wake up -&gt; Pool Room (bleeping tournament the whole time so didn't go there much) -&gt; TOAST (yes, TOAST, the best place for brunch, meesiamspecial FTW) -&gt; Walk aimlessly in one of the very few malls in JB (Jusco Tebrau, CS, Pelangi, only you go to Jusco Bukit Indah)-&gt; Dinner with parents -&gt; Whatsapp/Skype (highlight of the day) -&gt; Sleep -&gt; *Press repeat*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anywhossel (Soob, 2009), my main purpose of going back was to celebrate my Bday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Credit goes to my Mummy and Daddy for organizing such a AWESOMERIFIC party and of course, paying for my plane tickets, and everything else. :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A big shoutout would go to Uncle Teo and Kimmy, who despite having an assignment due on that week, spent time with me as they were the only one's who are not studying in KL (not forgetting KRYSTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN) :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another shoutout would go to Angelina Jolie aka Salt aka Sodium Chloride aka Angeline Tan Sok Yan aka Angelina aka My Maid (kidding), for coming back twice in the two weeks i came back and spending time with me :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not forgetting Joycey aka Joyce, for making time to meet up with me despite having TRIALS this friday (are you studying?????), and confusing me by asking whether i wear working shirts in Melbourne and getting a Tie in the end :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aha, one more shoutout before my voice dies, would be to Elean aka Buddie aka Indonesian! , for spending much time with me when she was supposed to be studying for her exams which are what, next week? ps. Remember to collect your IC buddy! :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, to all those peepos who met me during my short trip back, THANK YOU, you have no idea how much it means to me :) Will be blogging more oftenly now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You Blog, I Blog :) (Justin BB) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its all about you :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4108378878053774817-2830816452110682321?l=iantayzhixian.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iantayzhixian.blogspot.com/feeds/2830816452110682321/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4108378878053774817&amp;postID=2830816452110682321' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4108378878053774817/posts/default/2830816452110682321'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4108378878053774817/posts/default/2830816452110682321'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iantayzhixian.blogspot.com/2010/09/only-time-i-miss-home-is-when-im-not-at.html' title='The Only Time I Miss Home Is When I&apos;m Not At Home'/><author><name>Ian Tay</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
