Happy + Sad = SILENT

17th of May 2008..I was excited and happy as being an exchange student here in Australia I was given free ticket to watch a footy match beetween Geelong and Richmond at the biggest stadium in Melbourne - Melbourne Cricket Ground(MCG).The ticket would cost 20AD if I would have to buy it myself.Footy is the biggest thing here in Australia as they do not watch football.

Waking up very early in the morning to have my breakfast and preapring to go out as I do not want to be late for the match.Raymond and Anthony decided not to go,thus their tickets was given to Alex and Tee Hiong.While we were walking out to take the tram I receieved an sms from my father which was indeed a sad news.

"PR LAZARUS TAN called home 2 b with d Lord late last nite.Funeral,wake service 8.30pm.Sat and Sunday.Funeral on Monday at 11am.All at BT GANTUNG.God bless"

I was so shock to see that message.In a suddent I lose all my mood for the match.I call back to M'sia immediately to ask how is everything.I really felt very sad that I was not in Penang to attain his funeral and wake service.After Ps.Reuben,he is the next person that have die of cancer that are closed to me.

I have know Ps.Lazarus for at lest 15years.Where he used to fetch me back from school and take care of me when I was young.I never like to eat fish when I was young as I was lazy to remove the bones,but he was the one that taught he how to eat them and I finally agree with it.

He first enter my life as a skinny,dark and dirty drug addict.But God has change his life totally that he have been a light around his community.What a wonderful instrument of God he has been.

I felt happy for him for having such a beautiful wife and daughter and pray that God will send more angels around them to protect and encourage them in this time of sorrow.

May my prayers and blessings continue to be with you and I love you.May you rest in peace with the Lord and God bless your family,Ps Lazarus...Amen.

Hello again, everyone..

Wow...It seems awhile ago since I last updated my blog..Well,I definately have a lot of things to share with you guys.

First is that I have been using my uni's apple macBook.This is because my laptop failed me with a HDD hardware failure.Thank God that the University provide such service.The troublesome thing is that I will have to renew them every 48hours,but this is definately better than not having one.As you all know that the laptop is my only enterrainment and at the same time is a must tool for me to complete my assignment.

2nd is about my Engineering Management presentation and final research report.I got to be honest that I was indeed very happy with the respond I got from the crowd.After the presentaion we surprised the whole class about what Malaysian can do.As we presented so much more better than the aussie.Got lots of compliments from my colleagues and lectures.Thank God.

3rd is about my Object-Oriented Programming in C++ assignment.I am very proud of my assignment as I can't believe that I was manage to make it work.It is a programme to estimate fish and shark population in the Ocean.Thanks a lot to Raymond in helping me to complete this assignment.It was really not easy and I spend so many mid-nights trying to get it work.

4th is my Finals which is just around the corner.Exam is coming soon adn of cause I need to work very hard so that I would not let those that have high hopes of me down.The standard here is much more higher than the one in Kuching.In a way it is good but is tougher as well.But Evan Khoo is build tough,so I must work hard and try my best.

Over here I would like to thank God for providing everything I need over here especially sending so many wonderful people into my life to help and support me(finaicially).Specaill thanks to both of my parents also and my siblings for their love,support and prayers..

Welcome to Australia

Well,my mum came to Melbourne to visit me and at the same time to visit around Melbourne as this is her first time coming to Australia.It was indeed a wondeful time together with my mum.

I brought her to many places in Melbourne like Sovereign Hill,Ballarat to visit the Gold mine city.It was indeed a nice place where you are being able to go back to the past and see how Ballarat(Gold mine city) used to be.Where there is combination of the Chinese,Australian and other nation.

Everyone staff of the "City" dress and live as if they were from the past with the houses and equipment used as same in the past.

There is so many other places that me and my mum go together to see and experience the life and culture of an Australian.Not going to put them all up as I have limited bandwidth for my Internet,but will post some nice one.

As you can see that this is the city of Melbourne.

Behind my mum is the famous Yarra River and some other famous tourist spots like Eureka and Crown casino.

I assume this to be my mum's favorite place as she spend 3 hours there and bought a lot of things there as well.The place is call Queen's Victoria Market.

This is one of the place that my mum requested to go as well.Is the Immigration museum of Victoria.

See that tram?That is the tram that has been bring us around while my mum is in Melbourne.Of cause we do take the bus and train as well.North Bawlyn is the suburb I leave.

Well mum,see you again with my supper waiting for me in Penang.Take care and God bless.Luv Son..
