I have been away from dA... ^^ too busy last semester. I got a job as I mentioned previously and then I studied for finals. I went okay and I got an Honours scholarship from the National Centre for Adult Stem Cell Research (Australia). So... I moved to Brisbane (OMG closer to KRUSSY!!). The first couple of days in Brisbane were hard, I missed my parents too much, I knew practically noone, the guy nextdoor smoked and brought mates home and I felt unsafe and stressed so I cried... non-stop... XD

Crybaby phase is now well over of course... I have been spending time catching up with my scanlation group, mD-xD ^^ I released 4 chapters so far, that's quite something for me! hehehe, thanks to all the staff who work so hard of course. If you feel like translating Chinese to English or to edit some manga scans, give me a note!! we have some interesting projects waiting.

I have also been following the Australian Open. At first, it went so well for A-Rod, my idol <33 but well, last night he was beaten by German player Phillip Kohlschreiber so saaad T_T and Federer almost got beaten by Serbian player Tipsarevic, but luckily he won, phew, he is my only hope now...

I kinda like Baghdatis too, but he looked scary in the anti-Turki video =\ I don't like racist people.

OH I also like Novak Djokovic!! He is cute... and his impersonation of Sharapova was gold hehehe <33

Anyway... I have not been drawing for a while... somehow I lost the motivation to draw at all ;; the feeling of "no matter how hard I try, I can't be good enough" T_T so sad, but I'll pick up my pencils and start sketching some time soon.

I really want to see my family again, I think on the first two days in Brisbane I was like suffering from withdrawal symptoms, cos the feeling when I was with my family for two weeks (oh, I graduated as a Bachelor of Science (Biotechnology) last year, topping my Biochemistry class and winning the R. K. Morton Scholarship I hope I topped my Biotechnology class too, but I never asked. I got 68/70 for my final exam and my business plan group topped the class with 85% so I hope noone got higher than me for the final exam lol ah well it doesn't matter that much, I just felt so good that my efforts paid off ^^)

I really hope this year will be as good as last year. Last year I had two awesome housemates, whom I miss so much, an awesome house to live in, a good year where I got lab placements in three different labs, a job, topped the classes, etc. It was a year full of blessing from God (thanks!) ^_^ I have to work hard to score a First Class Honours, and then pray hard for the Australian Postgraduate Award, so I don't have to burden my parents any further.

My wish now is to score the NCASCR Honours Scholarship worth $3000... that would be really good to have hehehe.
