mid-week rant

this study break hasn't been going well, because i haven't been STUDYING! sighhhh....

i think i need to get out more and just enjoy my time here. i used to love my life in perth but sadly not so much this time round. maybe the LDR is taking its toll on me, or perhaps it's the lack of companionship.

suling was around during 1st semester last year, and that really helped me. but then came 2nd semester and it was so hard but thankfully dawn came along. and it became even better when i befriended tonia. this year, there's no more tonia to accompany me for lectures and no one to have lunch with me in my 'office'(yes, i have an office at uni where my table is. tonia and i used to share that room). man, this is getting really depressing the more i'm typing this out. you know what, i'm going to stop right here before i emo the crap out of myself. i really cannot afford to right now.

it's already wednesday and i still have soooo much work to catch up on before semester starts again. i really need to work bloody hard and make sure i'm ready for next week. bye for now.

here we go.. again

so it's official.. i'm going back to australia. "to do my masters?" you might ask. well.. sad to say, no. i'm going to be spending one year doing my graduate diploma and really believe i can score well enough for me to carry on with my masters the following year. so the plan will be another 2 years in perth, if all goes well.

i'm thrilled to have the chance to go back to perth but things are different from before. i don't have my close friends there anymore and basically i'm going over by myself. of course i know people there, but it's just different. it's not that i dread going back to perth, i'm just scared to be alone this time.

on a happier note, suling still have one semester left so that means i do have one friend there until june. haha! she'll be in curtin and probably live not very near me, so i wonder how often we'd actually meet. still, she's my biggest comfort right now. things are kind of hectic and there's lots to do. i'm in a mad rush to apply for visa, book my air tickets, plan my accomodation and what not in the next few weeks. schools starts on 27th february.. time to get cracking!

"a warm welcome home"

it felt good to hear that when the air stewardess announced that we've arrived and touched down in singapore. i'm finally back! exams ended on tuesday but there was so much to do i didn't have time to update until now..

first outing straight after lab on tuesday.. trip to ciao italia with the HM girls.

deborah

"god-like" tiramisu.. best i've tasted.

rebecca, joan and stacy.

on our way to freo on wednesday...

posing with my sunnies. (haha.. i like this picture)

stopped by at san churro's before dinner.

our bbq seafood feast! (:

went carousel on thursday.. i love late night shopping.

then on fri afternoon.. it was time to head home!

bye perth.. well, for the next 3 months at least.

city centre. err.. my house is somewhere in the clutter.

UWA

subiaco oval.. where pow works, and where i watched the trinations game.

i think SQ revamped their aircarfts. the seats are different.. better in fact. and there are so many movies to choose from! their 'new release' are really very new.. "the time traveller's wife" was showing! but pow promised to watch it with me when he gets back.. so i'll wait. jerry and i choose to watch my sister's keeper and julie & julia during our 5-hour flight. the former was.. totally brilliant! i cried at so many points in the show.. even jerry also. anyway, food served has improved also. the potato salad and ham appetizer was my favourite!

finally arrived back home in singapore.. feels good to be back. thanks ya-yas for the lovely welcome, and dear hadh for bringing a special guest. can't wait to catch up with you girls on sunday!

to my beloved pow.. thanks for all your help the past 3 days, i really appreciate everything you've done and the sleep you've sacrificed. xoxo.

make you feel my love

my second attempt at curry on monday. it was a HUGE success this time.. well, so i say. (:

we had leftovers.. so i had my curry with prata for lunch the next day. heh heh.

the weather is starting to change. and the coldest day always has to be wednesday.. woohoo, lucky me. we did dives today.. man, it's really my 'lucky' day. i was seriously dead scared, especially when we had to jump off the blocks. thank goodness we did it step by step.. like first sitting at the edge, then on one knee etc. my dives won't the most perfect.. i admit to creating mini-bellyflops. but when i jumped off the block the first time.. gosh, it was a major one! and it hurted like crap. the last one we did off the block was much better. in fact, i think it was almost perfect. but then again, that's just one good attempt out of 6 or 7? because of all the diving, my ears were blocked for the rest of the morning. dajie, i need your expertise in this area. if only you can swim with me... which reminds me, our swim instructor mentioned something today that made me want to cry. he said, "you'll be doing much more swimming next semester than you are this sem." seriously.. c'mon. poor me is going to have to freeze my ass off in the pool during winter mornings?! couldn't they pick some other sport like tennis, cricket or even footy.. *faints*

anyhoo.. it's mid sem week. results for exercise physiology is out.. and i did well. *beams* scored 25/30.. that's 83%. biomechanics test yesterday was alright buuuut.. my neuroanatomy lab exam today was erm.. not as good. the first thought that came to mind after seeing the first 10 questions was 'just take a gun and shoot me already.' and there were 50 specimens to cover! sigh.. this unit is what i call a big-time buang(car bang). only plus(if you even consider it one) is that the mid sem is only 10%.. so i've still got room to catch up. well.. i'm only left with econs paper on friday. pray it goes well.

i can't wait for the weekends.. and this weekend is a long one. hooray!

adele has a voice that makes me stop and listen.. and i like it when i get to pause everything just to enjoy life's simple pleasures.

when the rain is blowing in your face
and the whole world is on your case
i could offer you a warm embrace
to make you feel my love

when the evening shadows and the stars appear
and there is no one there to dry your tears
i could hold you for a million years
to make you feel my love

i know you haven't made your mind up yet
but i would never do you wrong
i've known it from the moment that we met
no doubt in my mind where you belong

i'd go hungry, i'd go black and blue
i'd go crawling down the avenue
no, there's nothing that i wouldn't do
to make you feel my love

the storms are raging on the rolling sea
and on the highway of regret
though winds of change are throwing wild and free
you ain't seen nothing like me yet

i could make you happy, make your dreams come true
nothing that i wouldn't do
go to the ends of the earth for you
to make you feel my love
to make you feel my love

1st of April

happy april fool's day everyone. what a day to wake up to.. mainly because there's no class today. PROSH is finally here.. eveyone's really hyped up about it. it's suppose to be a school event but i'm not involved. haha. still, they got my attention. was planning to go into the city to see what the fuss is all about and boy, if you had seen what i saw.. i'm sure you'll understand too. but.. I FORGOT TO BRING MY CAMERA OUT! arghh.. of all days, i had to forget today! sorry people, no photos.. of the floats that paraded the city or the 10 policemen on horseback or the massive jams along the streets or the tons of students in costumes. if you're confused.. go wikipedia it. it's really quite something. maybe next year i'll take part.

on another note.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY 姐夫! you're awesome for making my sister such a happy woman. (:

oh, last random update.. hongwei bought a tv.

32 inch LCD.. how about that?! *wee-a-weet*
