This post is probably gonna be like the happiest post ever! :)

.

It's related to my birthday! :) You know usually (for me anyways) you have a party, like a dinner or sumthing and i would have to go home. That's been the drill for the past few years but this yr's was diff :) Another thing is that i've been to a few surprise parties and yeaa it really show how much the birthday boy/gal is loved :3
Honestly, i never thought that i would have a "surprise party" of my own, but this time i did :) Although it's not your usual surprise party, it was a surprise at a party haha :)

.

So, what happened was...actually first of all, you needa know that my parents are fairly strict in terms of my going out, like as in come back on time/before etcetctec..It's a lil hard sometimes when all my peers have the freedom to do so while i'm stuck. but anyways! haha back to the narrative :P

.

So, what happened was that i've planned a dinner for my 21st and have invited ppl etc...so as usual, we would eat, chat, laugh and chill and then i would go home after, before a certain time haha sooo but this time my friends were all like acting weird and they kept asking me bout staying and just y'know not go home etc and i was like haha gd one etc..and then they revealed it! a few of my friends actually CALLED my mum (haha) and asked if i could crash at a friends etc..and she said YES! haha i was sooo shocked! and speechless and i just started tearing up haha it might sound silly to be crying about a sleepover but for me this was a wow! because i don't always have the luxury to stay out late/crash over, and this i have to face for my 3 yrs of undergrad, which is what is think the most "happening" period of young adulthood. y'know, u finish high school and ur at that age to party haha just old enough to be exploring etc and yaaa i'm just left behind by a leash that wouldn't budge even if the Hulk did me a favour. but this day! This day! The fact that my friends would call my mum and plans this for me was soo surreal haha coz i didn't have to ask for permission and it's not just the asking, but to muster enough confidence to know that she'll say yes, or simply put, having the fear of being turned down. It isn't easy. but this time i got what i've always wanted and without the whole asking process. This was truly a surprise for me and i was really happy! It was the best birthday ever and i just wana thank my friends Keni, Cherie and Yiming for planning it/making it happen :) I actually got a surprise for my birthday, and on my 21st too. It was truly an amazing nite! we did so many things hahaa :P anywhooooosss ahah :P

.

I realised this entry may sound a lil fake/weird/funny (maybe? haha) but yeaaa, it is the truth and i face this leash everyday. and having this leash undone even just for 1 nite really made my day! :) and all those who came along and join in with the fun, thank you all tooo! :) I feeel so blessed! :)

.

That's it for today, now for some COD haha i need new games, this is my 2nd time playing COD waw haha soon....kl....new games...win (Y) haha

.

Till next time, have a great hols everyone! :) cheerios!

Haven't blogged in 2 months haha feels weird :P anywhooo, i'm done! :) not just for the yr but for my undergrad degree! 3 whole yrs have past soo very quickly. I remember the day when me and my unimates counted and said that we were 1/3 of  the way, and now the remaining 2/3 has completed.

 .

 It really makes u think...time flying so fast. I've made so many new friends for the past 3 yrs and to think that i have to part with a few of them really does make me sad :( It's the end of an era! thats what they all say. I think now i know why people use words such as 'era'. It really is, or rather was.

.

After having so many exams and study period, i think the best period is the moment u finish revising for ur final paper and the moment u walk out of the exam hall after finishing ur final paper. Well, for me anyways. Life's complicated sometimes, but this always happens. Not to say that i'm not relieved that ive finished, but im just not feeling like others, and it's not me, shall say no more.

.

And the issue...always that issue. Just that this time it's more complicated. Like one of those layer cakes. The more u eat, the more layers u unveil. The thing is, i'm in the epicentre, but i can't do anything. and another spoon is coming in and scooping up bits of the cake. i can smell it, i can friggin see it, but can't do no nothing. nuf sed.

.

rawrrrrr sry bout the emoness haha haiii dno why life has to be so hard sometimes.

.

but on to happier things, i can finally just lay in bed and listen to david choi :) it's been a really busy sem, te workload this sem is phenomenal! (did i spell that right? haha) so many assignments rawr! and so much to study for a 50% exam, and as i expected, only 30% of what we actually studied came out. hais. but it's all over! :))

.

and now im just looking forward to hols and grad and kl/sing! =] I got into MD as well so yay! thats actually bad for the hols coz my hols are shortened by 1/3 but meh, the dream is one step closer :)

.

anywhoss, that's all for now! i hope everyone is having a great start to the hols!

cheers,

 .

It's currently the end of week 10 of my final semester! how crazy is that, it's beeen 10 weeks! the workloads piling up again :( not so much the amount of assignments but more the exam stuff to prep for, but i guess this is sorta like the final 100m of a marathon, gotta push hard and pass that line separating stress and freedom haha can't wait! eoy trip and just time to chill, record :)) wooooo seriously lookin fwd to that!

 .

issues issues, there's always issues...this is regarding jealousy...it's not even a plausible or legit kind and being jealous is bad anywaysss. It's like hard coz....u know what i'm not even gonna go into it, was thinking of ways to use e.g.s but it's so weird that i can't haha

 .

 .

Haven't really had a spring break this time round, beeen nerding and what not but man! i seriously can't waitttt till end of yr, my trueeeee freeedom! Although there's a chance that it's gonna be shortened down my 1 month, if i get my MD offer but yeaa still, EOY HOLS! really really gonna enjoy my break this time haha

 .

Looking fwd to the eoy hols also made me think about all the things that's about to end as well...friends leaving to diff places...hm...mainly that haha but yeaa over these past 3 yrs i've made diff friends from diff circles and have had the opportunity to get to know each of them during diff sems. Just the other day i was looking at one of the old foto albums of '09 and '10, haha the camps and outing and what not, it had been fun! so funn :) and thinking back, each of these friends have had some influence on my life and i them tooo.

 .

It's just sooo overwhelming and amazing that i've gotten to know a bunch of ppl and hang out with them and share details of my life with them, and now it's gonaa....end, bluntly put. okay fine, end is a lil too emotive haha it's just that we're all gonna go to diff places, some will remain at the same uni of course, but lots will be moving and yeaaa...it's gonna be diff, so very diff. Usually during eoy break you'll be saying things like see ya next yr! or see ya in a couple of months! but now it's like take care and i wish u the best in <...insert faraway land...>. I think i might be feeling a lil too emotional haha been studying all day and my brain just wants some chill time! mayb some friends teehee..

 .

Well, before i end today, just wanna say thank you to everyone whom i had the opportunity to get to know over these past 3 yrs :) You have made my uni life a lot more fun and enjoyable! oh man im sounding like we've graduated already hahaha :P anywayss, F.R.I.E.N.D.S timeee :]

If you're looking for a brand new artist to subscribe to, Nik Day's ur guy! he's like the new buble! awesome vocals and melodiess! not to mention beautiful meaningful lyrics! check him out :]

Anywho, with regards to whats been happening, lots i must say...emotionally.
tumble and turns and it's still here today but i feel better because i have a direction. To please God and obey his living Word! I am placed in this situation for a purpose, whatever it may be, i need to submit to His sovereigty, and say yes.
You know the things i want remains the same and the outside influence remains constant as ever and it still eats me down but when i look to God and try to see it from His view, it's not as hard anymore, because i don't have any excuse to not do it His way. I have been bought with a price and it's not an easy price to pay. Therefore, obey and follow. Nothing else. No excuses. Everytime i think i've been met with injustice i think about the cross and whatever im facing seems to loose it's weight and it shud well be the case because what happened at the cross is sooo amazing and nothing can compare, literaly.

The feelings, however, linger and seem like they're here for the long hawl, but..
i needa focus not on myself, but on the Lord. Amen.

Feel of the Day.88

aight, first of all, just wana say..this is my 88th post and a cool fact about the number(s) 88. 88 is frequently used in the chinese language as a short form of "baibai" and in the canto language 8 can be used as a substitute for "fat", which means like "get rich!" haha just some coool factsss :P

anywhoo, hols has been great, y'know, just chillin, no worries (maybe some haha) and just nothing to worry about exams etc.....(waitin' for a but? here it comes...)...but, too much free time is also a kill :( it's not the free time that i'm kinda annoyed @, free time's great! it's just the fact that a bunch of me mates, actually..a bunch of me mates from diff circles of friendsss, are all out there doing something exciting, e.g. skiing, NZ conference+tour etc. while i'm here...just free. it's like "what? i'm freee?!?! YES! and that's the end of that." it's like you're having nasi lemak, and u can see the chef plating the side dishes one by one...and then just before he adds the sambal, he says "okay my friend, that'll be RM$$" and you're like "O.O?!?! sambal leh?". It's like that, something gd's happening but that's it, and other ppl having something else slightly better (or heaps better) doesn't help the situation. So, in essence, i'm jealous and reckless...sighhh

but yeaaa, as always, i gotta look at this at a diff perspective, i gotta be greatful! :) and just enjoy the peace and quiet. yeaa :)

anywhoo, that's all for today, back to my shows! :P

cheers,

Feel of the Day.87 [Brownie]

Today is a very sad day. Just found out that one of my close aunties has just passes away and also found out that my dog too has passed on a few weeks back. sigh.

Brownie's my dog's name and he is such an awesome pet and friend. I remember there was a time in Msia when things were upside down and i would sit outside, with Brownie, and just sit. He was such a good dog and i still feel bad today for "abandoning" him and coming to Melb. I wanted to bring him along but the procedures were too complicated. It worked out for the best anyways, because he was there to accompany my grandmum until her last moments. It's kinda a funny story, my grandma, she used to be annoyed with Brownie because he would jump up and down and y'know, annoy granny. haha but in the end they became good friends :) aparently when granny passed on Brownie just laid under his shed and not eat for 1 or 2 days. That's the kinda love that a dog can offer, absolutely beautiful.

well, i don't really wana say much anymore and i would just like to dedicate this post to my beloved pet and friend, Brownie.

I miss you and i wish i could be there during your last moments. I thank you for being a great pal and taking care of granny for us while we're abroad. May you rest in peace and i love ya! :)

boredddd...that's the one thing that's been on my mind haha sigh it's like the total opposite of examss...TOO BUSY<------??------>TOO BORED...i wish the question marks can be filled with something exciting, well lemme tell you a tale...

The question marks were actually meant to be replaced by N.Z. :( butttt some proffesors are just dodge sighs...long story, but in short, i wanted to pursue a hol research opportunity, it's just volunteer but stilll, anyways, he said "okay, i'll talk to my staff. email me back in early june". i was like, yay, altough it's not a definite yes but it's something, 50/50, so i waited patiently till the 1st of June and replied him promptly. 2 days went past, and my hotmail page is already sick of my face but no repliess, "okay, maybe he's busy, he is a prof after all", i thought, so i waited for a few more dayss, and still no sign. 7 days later, i got tired of waiting and i emailed him asking if i got it, but until today, no replies.
What got me angry wasn't the fact that i didn't get the gig, but rather the prof's unproffesionalism (if that's a word). He shud've just emailed me and tell me straight to my face that i wasn't offered the place.
But then again, maybe his email service failed? maybe someone else pretended to be me? maybe he time-travelled? oh wellss...whatever...I need to remember that God's in control, all the time, even when things seem a lil dim.

I also missed other stuff like Syd Med Interview :((( but that's my bad, my eng just isn't up to date. and i also missed an 18ppl ski trip :((((( but that's coz i had other commitments and it's the right thing to keep it and miss the trip.
but that just leaves me with a blank holiday. like you know how when u buy new paper for printing? and the first piece of paper you pull out from the whole bunch...it's like that, clean, blank...BORING. okay, i'm just raging, i know i should be more thankful for many many things.
I should really enjoy this 'nothingness'. It's something i don't get very often and so i should really cherish it, rather than going against it.
I will try :)

well, today's been a fairly room-bound day. Just been in my room, on my laptop, all day. Actually, i did go jogging in the evening :) it was tiring, oh right...i just realised today that jogging with your arms/hands in your jacket pocket and jogging with your arms/hands out if totally 2 diff things haha on sat i went jogging and it was SO COLD, so i jogged with my arms/hands in my pocket the whole time, but today, it was slightly warmer, so i sorta pulled my hands/arms out from my pocket and jogged normally, you know. buttt, i was so tireddd after! It puzzled me, the reason for my extra tiredness and it hit me, my hands/arms were out today! haha i know it's silly but it really does make a diff! try it yourself! :P

anywhooo, that's my day, boring but free day :]
thanks for reading, ciao!

I just finished Full Metal Alchemist:Brotherhood! It's so amazing!! haha The storyline and characters are just great! check it out if you have loads of free time, actually, even if you're busy, check it out anyways haha it's that gd! Although i did spend a lot of time watching it during prep for my final paper hm...dilemma...just check it out! you'll know what i mean :P

Listening to David Choi's recent album atm, thought i'd get it before i head to his concert.....okay that's a lie, i'm not sure if i'm heading to his concert yet but i wanaa! Hopefully i'll be able to! :]

I'm on roster for backup singing @ church tmr which means early morning, which should mean early nite! but why am i still up? well..dad's coming back to town! :] it's been a while since dad left for msia and it's great to have him back, looking fwd to it! just means that i'll be a zombie tmr haha oh wells :P
I've also got a dumpling partay over @ a friend's too haha dumpling+zombie=? i'll find out tmr :P

Today has been a pretty normal day, just been chilling at home, playing around with audacity, recording stuff is hard :( and to make it even harder, i'm quite noob with the singing and playing haha playing/jamming by myself ot with a bunch of mates is one thing...recording it all is a totally diff thing! recording means you gotta be perfect, or at least sound "perfect" and that's really a pressure point! I guess it's good in a way coz it pushes me to actually play something properly :P All part of the learning process i guess :] Can't wait for the end product! :D

so yeaa...that's basically my day, apart from doing some errands, that's pretty much it :P so i guess i'll stop here aha :P

Have a great one! :]

I clicked open the blogger page and i was so tempted to just close it haha i'm sooo sleeeepyyyy beeen so light weight lately, sleepwise of course :P i think my bio-clock has taken a 360 degrees turn and now i'm back to square one, where i'm meant to be at, as in the "ideal" sleepin pattern haha i.e. sleep b4 12am and wake up by 9-10am :P that's been me for the past 2 days, not sure how long that'll last though haha got a feeling that "reality" will kick in real soon :P

anywho, about my day, hm...what did i do...oh right, i woke up @ 10am, as mentioned, and the first thing i did was repairing my guitar! :D not by myself, but i drove down to the new cranbourne store @ blackburn and got someone to have a look at it. The problem was that the jack was "faulty", tried it a couple of months back and it just died BUT when the dudetred it, it was fine haha funny things happen everyday but the in-built tuner's dead though, so that's one thing gone but yeaa, thankfully the jack's functional again (i haven't tried it @ home, but let's hope it's still alive). I also got it re-strung while i was there, got meself some new Elixir strings! :D yipeeee! and and and and!! i got a new pop-filter for my mic! :P now it's complete!! i've spent so much lols but yeaaa i think that's it for now, a basic "complete" beginner/amateur recording equipment set (weird sentence..i know haha ceebs putting it in correct gramar, u know what i mean :P) anywhoo, it's been funs just playing around with it :] hoping to properly record something sooons! wooo hols project :D

AJ's album hasn't arrived yet! argh! although the dude actually gave me the soft copy of the album to "tahan" first haha so i've actualy been listening to it..A LOT haha but yeaa i want the physical CD! sooons i hopeee!

i'm sooo tired now though haha it was a looong day, after the 2.25 hr long movie, a bunch of us headed to shanghai village on lt.burke for some dumplings, the food was gd as always, but the service was a lil dodge today, oh welllss, as the song goes "you can't always get what you want" :P but yeaa, it was a gd lunch :]

and yeaa, some of us then went to a totally random coffee joint off Elizabeths and it was pretty cools, the drinks were rather nice, thick and flavoursome :D The place also had a tailor and hair saloon built in! believe it or not haha talk about multi-purpose! :P

and then i basically headed home to my "night job" = taking bros to places (okay im exaggerating, it's not as bad as i'm gonna make it sound, but yeaa, just ranting along) haha had to take one of me bros to debating and it's in ivanhoe! and mann that place is soooo crazyyy! (no offence to those who live there haha again, just rantng :P) maybe it's coz i've never been there before, but i was totally panicking! the roads were so out of the norm! thank goodness i had the melway with me! and i managed to find my way home after dropping my bro off. gd experience though :]

i woke up this morning and the first thing that comes to mind is....STUDYING??!?!?!
=.=' i was like nerding as i was in my sleep-wake transitions...u know how ppl say if u do something consecutively for 2 weeks it becomes a habit? sighhhhh...but then again it's meant to be normal coz ur hippocampal region in ur brain (important for memory) does that, i.e. 'replays' what u nerded during ur sleep...lol see what i mean? haha okay, that's enough nerdsville for one day, or shall i say 5 weeks? :P

anywho, woke up, makan maggi-mee haha shyok! and then nescafe 3-in-1..double SHYOK! haha see i'm so lazy in the morning that i resort to instant coffee, when there's a perfectly nice jar of coffee in the shelf :P gotta love the lazy hols :P wooo!
its Sunday today, which means that my CD should be arriving tmrrr! or tues wooooooo can't waitttt! if only yest wasn't the weekend haha then it wouldn't arrived yest or today mehhh the longer th wait, the better the rewards :D

yest, after utubing for like 3 hrs in the morning, i decided to learn a few new songs but ended up writing a new one haha haven't done that in agesss! :] wrote about a crush 0.o crush u say??? haha yeaa just for kicks la, semi-inspired by J.R.A and D.Choi hehee that took me 3 hrs hehehe but it was fun, my worn out callouses (did i spell that correctly? u know the think skin tha builds up @ ur finger tips after playing string istruments for a while?? i'm sure u sting musos out there know what i'm saying :P) anyways, it was a fun day, and i slept @ 7.30pm haha..failwhale..

YO YO YO! The 4 month drought has finally ended! yaaaataaaaaaaa! (mann too much anime =.=') hehe anyways, i'm so glad that my sem 1 papers have finally finished! I literally couldn't stop smiling (maybe it's coz of the cold too ghaha) but yeaa, it's a great feeling, i'm sure all u students know what i'm talking about.

well, yest (17/6) i came home after lunch and crash! slept @ 4pm, woke up @ 3am the next day hehehe..i should probs explain something first, i've sorta acquired a veryveryvery bad habit of turning nocturnal during assesment periods (exams, midsems etc.)It's a very bad habit because my days are literally turned upside down, like sleeping @ 7am and waking up @ 1-2pm lols. It's that bad!
This started 2nd sem last yr, during the end of sem exams, i slept @ like 5-6am if my memory's serving me well, and woke up @ noon. but this habit sorta evolved into a worse state this sem when it overflowed into my midsems as well. sleeping @ 4am while having a lect @ 8 or 9am is sorta CRAZY! haha which explains my highest rate of wagging this sem o.0' thanks to lectopiaaaa it wasn't too bad hehe..

But yeaaa, my nocturnal-ness has obviously not taken a turn yet, well at least it's not so bad 3am...who am i kidding, its BAD haha hopefully it'll autocorrect today :]
Since waking up @ 3am, been utubing and learnt a new song :D it's "My Time with You" by David Choi & Kina Grannis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmetbTknAUk) it's such a happy song, appropriate to my post-exam day hehe..and then i wong fu-ed and finally watched A.S.S (Agents of Secret Stuff) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMy-6RtoOVU) It's quite lols!

I am so happy! just the thought of not needing to nerd anymore (for 5 weeks at least) makes me go nuts! the gd kind of nuts of course, like almonds? haha (failed joke? :P) anywho, i'm really looking forward to the next 5 weeks, although i was really looking fwd to a volunteer research project @ MelbU but the prof. didn't reply mee in the end, he said to "Email me in early June" and i did, promptly on the 1st of June, but he hasn't replied me yet :( i emailed him again a week later, semi-raging, but still no luck :( oh wells..i guess this means i get the whole 5 weeks off :) which isn't a bad thing :] either way i win! :D this is so rareeee...haha

I'm hoping to do more muso stuff during this break, maybe actually posting a vid? :P
i dno, i'm still too noob to post anything atm haha maybe i'll do one towards the end of the break :) maybeee...haha
I need a haircut too! i just shaved yest haha looked like an ancient monk yest b4 shaving with long long beard!....haha okay fine i lied, i'm a miserable asian who can't grow anything to save my life haha (don't u dare laugh! :P) but yea, tidied up a lil and hopefully i get to cut my hair today or tmr, my overgrown fringe is killing me! =.='

Also, all the hard work i did during the sem, going to the gym, is all lost! :( I ate sooo sooo much during the exam period! like 7 meals a day and most of em are like bad carbs (buns, chips, biscuitsss) sighface! since i stay up till sunrise, and it's so cold @ night, my stomach starts to sing every hr, every 3 hrs at very best, and yeaa...now i'm back to 'that' alv. haha shud go for a run today :D

ohohohoH! alsooooooo! i finally did my first online purchase! :D I bought A.J.'s album! can't wait till it arrivess! it said 4-6 days, and it's been 4 days haha but i don't think they deliver on weekends right? so i guess mons my best bet :D
either way, i can't waittt! :):):)

alright, i think i've blabbered on for quite a while now, should stop :]
that's all for today, have a GREAT day! :]

Today is an interesting day. Like a camel's hump haha funny analogy i know, but it really was like a hump (hehe).

Today started off...late :P woke up @ 1.45pm, which meant that my 11am alarm didn't work :P so there you go, almost half my day was gone and i was like a zombie...*does the zombie walk*

then, i pretty much procrastinated the whole day haha, if u saw my fb post, there was sumthing about a sloth...its true, me name's sloth, alvin sloth :P
i was watching tv, stargate atlantis wooot ! :P and star trek enterprise ! hehehe
they are my studies' worst enemies haha

i did do some work, just some humanities qns for GAMSAT, then i headed off to baddy :)
see my baddy games were pretty crap @ the start, i kept loosing games and ppl sorta laughed at my noobness haha maybe im just too sensitive but meh, it wasn't a gd experience. To elaborate, there's a few guys who sorta "marked" me as an enemy? or more correctly "person you hate?" haha i dno but it all began back in 1957...?!?!?!?! haha just pullin ya leg hehe :P okay..it all started when i first started goin to badminton socials and i knew this dude, nice dude but flawed in a certain area which sorta pissed a few other guys off and so happen that day, when he was pissin ppl off, i was dere with him, talkin to him, because he's one of 3 ppl i knew then, i was a newbie. and yeaaa, the pissed ppl saw me with him and 1+1=2, they "marked" me. ever since, everytime they (pissed ppl) wud see me, they wud treat me as the other dude. and yeaaa, everytime i would play baddy and my opponents were the pissy* ppl ( let's just call em pissy ppl to make it easy:P ), i wud freeze and stuff up the whole game, but today, it was diff :) at the start, yes, it was the same, i was playin bad..and the rest of the nite wasn't much different, but the very last game...i played with the pissy ppl anddd guess wat...i played gd, didn't stuff up as much and we were all laughing, well they did still laugh at me a few times, but i was lauging with them too, @ the games @ everything haha..and yeaa that was an up for me. it wasn't perfect, but it was progress :) and that's good enough for me...for now anyways :)

sooo, to explain my hump analogy, waking up late=down, scifi channel=up, procrastination/didn't do much work=down, baddy=up:), hm...need one more down to make a full "m" shaped hump haha hm...i'll let you figure the last one out :P but yea...u get the general idea :P

that's all for today :) cheerios ! :D

Feel of the Day.79

Today, i looked into my "mirror" and realised that i was a back-stabbing hypocrite.
I am ashamed of myself, and i am grateful that i have the grace to realised this side of me.

Matthew 7:3 says "Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log tat is in your own eye?"

I am ashamed.

Today i have learnt a valuable lesson, a lesson that can only be learnt through harsh experience, one that i have just endured..trust me, it was no walk in the park.
but like the burn you feel after a jog, i'm glad i went thru that episode, as they all say, no pain..no gain :)

alrighty, that's all i wana say today, gd nite :)

man...it's been a while :P
just wana say i'm uber tired today...did heaps of stuff, well not heaps heaps but mehh haha played baddy twice today and now my whole body is like a deflated balloon :P esp me hammies...:(

alright something deeep (attempt :P)..
as mentioned, i baddy-ed twice today and it was sorta 2 diff worlds for me, i mean like when i was playing with some friends, it was all fun and games :) we had good laughs and chilled :) gd time but when i played @ social, i got smacked on the face so many times haha it was really something today, 2 worlds...

anywho, im up for my drivers test sooon ! arghhh im really really nervous, it's like doin a paper, only i don't quite have the confidence like i do with my papers, it's...different you know, like practical exam haha, well it is a practical assesment. hopefully i'll have gd news soon :) arghhhh :P

mann...i haven't officially written a full song in ages! haven't really been jamming all that much either..hm..mayb it's the busy time..meh..

Today has been a pretty fun day! Had a moviee marathon @ home with some of my mates! Well, it wasn't really a marathon...we watched 2 movies with tennis in between haha ! We watched Public Enemies and Rush Hour 1 :P and watched del potro play against some other dude :P It was a fairly exciting match actually, there were yelling and cheers :P
We had pizza for dinner :P but there's like HEAPS of leftovers haha so i'm covered for food for the next few days :P
Thanks Linda for all the pastries and stuff! imma get fat in the next few days :P haha! :P

Listening to Joanna Wang atm, she seriously rocks! :D
Her voice is so amazing, it takes you to places :)
I wish i can see her live someday ! :D

Anyways, lately the octopus, cat and dogs have returned briefly :(
It's the simple things, you know. It seriously sucks sometimes. You'd think that something major or substantial like a FAT rock wud ruin your life but rather it's the little simple things that kill. Sometimes i feel like my leg is tied to a rock and im chucked into a neverending lake (refering to season of the witch), as emo as it sounds. I feel like this almost everyday but the difference between my dads is that some days i don't sick as quick due to whatever scientific explanation u wana believe, but somedays, it's like the rock multiplies exponentially by the second.
Ideally i wish that there was no lake and no stone and i live on a green field with neverending sunshine, but if the lake was shallower or the rock lighter, i wud be grateful already.

Will my dreams be affected? Will my destiny be filled with octopuses, cats & dogs? Will the knot on my ankle loosen? Only time will tell.

That's all for today, thanks for reading!

cheers,

Before i start, lemme say that i am so shacked ! so tiredddd! haha
Just finish the 2-day-in-a-row Des Oniel Gamsat Prep lectures (9am-6pm), it was so FULL ON ! The materials i listened to were equivalent to everything i've ever learnt, but in 2 days !!! CRAM-MANIA ! haha. It was good though, at least now i know what i need to know for the actual test :)
One last thing abt GAMSAT, one of the lecturers made a super LOL joke, i've posted this up on fb yest but imma do it again here, just coz its LOLS! here it is:

"The name is Bond, Hydrogen Bond" LOL!

anywayssss...It's been a full week since i got back from kl, time sure flies! :P
Before i know it uni's gonna start! There's still 1 month and a bit left, better cherish these few weeks! :D

Back in Melbourne! :) and i'm home alonee ! woot haha it's totally not what i expected. well, it sorta is what i expected, but not entirely.
For one, i feel lonely :( i miss my family! and my bros with their lol jokes haha
never thought i'd miss my family this much. well, it's an experience isn' it?
Now i truly (sorta) know how my international student friends feel leaving home.
It's the cons of being independent. so i'm thankful that this will only last 2 weeks, for now anyways. On the upside, i don't really have a curfew and i can basically decide what to eat and etc...i know this sounds lame but i've always lived with my family and for the first time in my life i'm calling the shots. but as uncle Ben from Spiderman says "With great power, comes great responsibility" and yeaaa, for me this means doing chores, remembering to bring the bin down during rubbish collection day etc. again i know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is.

Well, it's sorta late, i shud be off. Let's hope tmr will be a gd day ! :)
cheers !

Today is a super fun and tiring dayyy! haha..no pain no gain i guess :P Why did i use that quote? here is why:
Today, a bunch of us went to a tree-tree obstacle course :P it was really realy tiring! haha and some of the challenges were super high up (> 3 store tall)! like forshiz! haha and me being afraid of heights and all, really felt scared @ the start, but after a while, i sorta adapted to it ? i was still scared though hehehe..thanks for organising ! :)

after that, we went to steamboat! OMNOMNOM! i ate quite a bit :P actually, it was mainly meat, fish balls etc. didn't really eat much carbs, which explains the tummy growling now :P After that, we went to a place where the trees were decorated with lights ! :) actually all the trees with lights are fakes ! :P but still...prettty ! :D really fun day ! haha it was actually a 12 hr outing (Y) super fun man ! heheee..

alrighty, im super shacked now...time to go recharge :) ciao !

Pretty Adventurous day today, one of my gd friends took me to a famous pork noodles place :P it was delightful! it was so gd because it had everything a man wants in a bowl of noodles (for a msian man anyways :P)...it had noodles (mian sian), obviously haha, pork meat balls, veges, awesome soup, PORK VISCERA and a freshly cracked egg, uncooked but slowly de-rawing itself as a result of the rich hot soup! argh !!!!!!! it was the bomb! (Y)

We also caught a moviee, The season of the witch. It was MEHHH! i got super disappointed, seeing that nicholas cage and the hell-boy dude was in it, i thought it wud be at least "prety gd", but it turns out that it's barely watchable! okay fine..maybe im being a lil over critical, lets say that its just average :P okay laa, boleh tengok, but storyline/plot soso onli laa. just a warning :P

and for dinner me and the fam had glorious CRAB ! WOOT !
once again, a satisfied day! (Y)
ciao!
