Back's aching.
Finger's feeling the soreness.
Butt's getting bigger (as if it wasn't already big enough).
Notes for Asia: Down patt.
Screw.
Feeling: Demoralised.
*bruks*
_* The Reality of it All *_
- Saturday, October 28, 2006 / 4:30 pm.
BAH!
Wasn't suppose to shop, but caved in for a bit.
The dress i wanted is no more!
ARG!
Aimed at it for a while, tried for it for a while.
Now, no more!
*sobx*
I think i'm gonna head to other outlets to look.
Haa. Now i'm determined to get it.
Gonna blow a good $120 on it.
But i don't care.
Cuz me likely.
The short little meetup was great.
Miss talking like that over drinks & cake at Three Monkeys!
*smuck*
SOoOo glad to see my jie-meis again.
After a torturous 3 weeks of not meetin up.
But sigh, this's gonna mark the last of our meetups in brissy land.
Goodbye to good ol' Three Monkeys and long road trips with them.
Thank god, there's always 'back in sg' n the getaway in jan!
Haa. Today's coffee made me realise how much they cared for me.
Knowing i was down, demoralised and kinda sick of assignments.
Thanks for the chattie of encouragement and choco.
And realising the fact that someone actually knows me that well!
To finish my sentences and know my trail of thoughts.
Fate played a huge part, wendy and i, friends for less than 3mths.
But somehow, she seems to know me better than some friends i've known for years!
This is the kind of friendship, that i can forsee us maintaining for years to come.
The one, whereby, both of us will make the effort to keep, cuz we're so alike in character.
It makes me smile, especially when she asks about the little things i've mentioned.
To think that she actually bothered to remember and ask about the outcome.
Goes to show how much she does care.
Friends for life, these jie-meis and dears of mine.
_* To the End *_
- Friday, October 27, 2006 / 8:50 pm.
I said goodbye, to the last of my degree lectures (crossing my fingers).
To to end of the assignments horror.
No more 30hrs of no sleep and 2am wake up calls.
*spanks*
Hellos to the cramp right hand.
To the coloured pens.
To the memorising.
To the spotting of topics.
The mugging of exams has begun.
*shudders* to the reality of papers.
2 on the 4th, 1 on the 7th and 1 on the 15th.
It shall all end in 19 days.
Yikes! The shortness of it.
Scary Bejezus.
_* Complaints *_
- Wednesday, October 25, 2006 / 1:22 am.
If you're not in the mood to read my rattling, forget about this post.
Seriously.
Its the week of assignment packed due dates.
I'm suffering from insufficent sleep.
Let me count, an estimated 7hrs sleep since i woke on sun morning.
So much so that Kit has been saying that i'm becoming inhumanly insane.
Fueled by coffee and chocolate, iTunes playing, my comfy support pillow and droppers.
I'm confined within these 4 walls.
Within 2 assignments done, 3 more to go and 1 still running.
I'm almost at the limit of my brain cells of editing.
No offense to some friends of mine,
But i'm becoming fucking irritated with editing people's work.
Thats a reason why i CANNOT be a teacher.
I have no freaking paitence.
Especially with people, at university level,
where the forming of sentencing are horrible.
The flow of words are badly phrased.
The grammatical errors are aplenty.
Its giving me a fucking headache.
Half the time of doing the group assignments, I'm there doing the editing work!
Proof reading is fine, but when the english is atrocious,
I get fucking pissed.
ps: geri, i'm not referring to u, some other peeps.
I'm feeling like a fucking teacher this semester.
Why the hell do i have to work with 1st-sem peeps.
Some ppl seriously don't understand the meaning of COMPARE AND CONTRAST!
What in the world made them thinking that submitting a work of facts will be sufficent?
Don't they know that COMPARE AND CONTRAST means critical analysis?
Pissed.
That is on top of the fact that i'm feeling the mounting pressure of work pile.
The stress level is on the rise.
Evident by the number of pimples popping up on the face, the sleepless nights.
Even in the shower, i can't stop thinking about the work.
I'm afraid that i'll reach to breaking point soon.
Yes, people, i know this is the last lap, and whatever, i just have to bite and get through.
But the thing is, it isn't that its just less than a month.
The problem is that within this period of time, there's so much to do!
As Eugene has pointed out, its actually not that encouraging when friends keep saying,:
'endure, aiya, it only less than a month.'
Its a constant reminder of how much that has to be completed within less than a month!
I've become a hermit.
I'm thankful for that little bit of encouragement from some friends.
Despite the fact that i'm busy, the occassional msgs brightens the day.
Its nice to know that i'm being thought of.
*smilez*
On a different note, reading graces post reminded me of my past.
When i first got to brissy.
What she's going through, felt exactly the same as what i went through.
A reminder of my first experience in depression.
I understand the difficulties that she's experiencing to get used to the place.
Until u've been thrown into a different environment,
then u'll truely realise how much of a toll it takes in adapting.
Sometimes, i wonder, peeps back home always says, you're so lucky to get to go o/seas.
But do they ever wonder, there is always a downside to it?
Aiya, just some erratic ramblings of mine.
Back to the work. Breather break over.
*wails*
_* Changed *_
- Tuesday, October 17, 2006 / 10:54 am.
Yupz. Its done.
I've procrastinated and i'm finally submitting to it.
My bloggie has a new look.
iTunes has been revamped after weeks of editing. (yes, i have a freaky 18GB worth of songs)
HDD is locked and the key confiscated.
Schedules are planned to the dot.
Its time to fill up the empty word documents.
Righty hand getting cramps from writing hard.
Chaos falls upon my table.
Meals being compromised to pre-packed pasta/fried rice/subway.
Its time where the butt gets bigger from sitting.
The body weight increases.
A mth more til i hit the home run (crossing-my-fingers).
Excuse me while i retreat to my own little cave of 4 walls.
_* popo *_
- Monday, October 16, 2006 / 9:35 pm.
To the indie queen of the group.
The one whom started the 'ethnic, gothic, erthurn'
The babe who cries or laugh uncontrollably when drunk.
The one, who loves to draw.
The creater of Stitchedeye.
Hope U had a blasted wonderful celebration.
Emo babe, thanks for being there whenever needed.
U and ur crazy madness cheers up.
*MUCKS*

_* Lethargic Me *_
- Friday, October 13, 2006 / 5:14 am.
Every morning when i wake, i tell myself: Get thru the day is good enough.
I find myself hating to wake up.
As though suffering from insufficent sleep.
I keep thinking: 'just 10mins more'.
Why is it always that hard to get outta bed?
For the past 2 days, when i wake, first instinct is to scratch my mosquito bites.
I currently have 4 that are irritating the hell outta me.
2 on the neck, and 2 behind my left leg.
They swell up like mad and tests my paitence.
ARG!
That is why i so hate summer in aus.
They have left marks over me.
Kit has concluded that i seem more 'juicy' becuz i have a higher body temp.
Why can't all the mosquitos in the world just die.
Useless blood sucking junk.
BAH!
I'm losing my temper easier and headaches seems to come more often.
Often than not, i find myself staring into the air just so i cld clear my head to think properly.
Everything is starting to become a chore.
I no longer enjoy what i used to.
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?!?!?!
_* In sickness (not in health) *_
- Thursday, October 12, 2006 / 6:06 am.
The hsehold of sickness. You can call us that now.
Welcome to the germs galore!
Everyone's down in one way or another.
Uncle Aison is still with his coughing flaming throat.
Ms Kit sprained her ankle.
Darren's sounding like an uncle, everytime he clears his throat.
As for li' old me, the flu recovery doesn't seem to be going all that smoothly either.
BAH!
And above all, the construction work going about our enclosed hsehold area is giving me a headache! How can one live with hammer knocking at 7am in the morning! Right next to your bedroom wall!
SHITZ.
I'm so wishing i can screw the construction guys' head off right now. Blardy irritators.
*BA-KA-RA*
_* Room *_
- Monday, October 09, 2006 / 9:45 pm.
Some i've lacked to do this semester.
Reading Grace's reminded me.
My Cluttered Little Room.
Reading Grace's reminded me.
My Cluttered Little Room.
ps: yay! my bloggie's got pics again. scroll down to look at the updates!
Oh and to the peeps back home: Take Care!
For once, i'm glad i'm not stuck in sg during this period.
Stupid Tree Burners.
They should be sued their pants off.
I wonder why isn't some international environment org doing anything about this.
On the other hand, i highly suspect although the wind doesn't blow this direction.
That is one of the factors causing the eratic weather that has been going on here.
Yest, i was complaining of hot.
This moment: I'm freezing my pants off.
WTH!
_* Mooncake Festival Weekend *_
- Sunday, October 08, 2006 / 1:22 pm.
Mooncake Festival hasn't been something i've celebrated in a LooOoonnNnnnNnGggg time,
Nadah last sem.
But this time round, it seems to play a good role in arranging for gathering!
I Likely.
Friday was spent with wendy and the boys.
It was really a yin-yang unblanced. I'm amazed that she remains the girly girl that she is.
What with a usual gathering for 6 guys and a girl.
But alas, one of them is actually her husband-to-be.
So can't say much eh!
She, being the homely hsewife-to-be, cooked us all a sumptous dinner of herbal chicken and nu hiang. *smuck* makes me miss asian food even more!
Thereafter, which, we all settled down to our little cliques of mahjong, maple story and variety shows. It was an absolute blast being with them.
Hokkien galore!
Bah!
Saturday itself, was spent recuperating and resting for the impromtu BBQ that hsemates decided to host at night. For the 1st time, we had an in-house chef! Bernie. Whom prep all our food and stood guarding over the bbq pit feeding us with glorious bbq-ed food. Bah! All i did was to help the chef prep the satay sauce and marinate the beef. And even gotten a tip or two.

I was the self-appointed dj for the nite.
BaHh!
The nite was a quiet one, didn't end in anyone getting drunk. Haa. And since mooncake was expensive here [AUD$35 per box!], we all had to share. It wasn't hazy, but instead cloudy. Thus the belief that the moon is rounder on the 16th, i can't witness.
*bush*
As it this. That was my last weekend of fun until exams passed.
The hsewhole will be for another 2mths.
So i guess, there really will be party afterwards.
WhooOpS.

_* Mid Term Break = Mid Term Fun *_
- Sunday, October 01, 2006 / 8:21 pm.
This is it.
The end of the mid semester again. Man, i so missed it.
Impromtu-ness played a huge part of my week's fun.
Road trips were the deal again.
Wed 27th Sep '06 - Eumandi Markets & Noosa Beach
The end of the mid semester again. Man, i so missed it.
Impromtu-ness played a huge part of my week's fun.
Road trips were the deal again.
Wed 27th Sep '06 - Eumandi Markets & Noosa Beach
My 2nd visit to one of my favourite beaches yet.
Families all around, under the surf and sun we played.
Life's good, if we cld stay on the beach all day!
Thurs 28th Sep '06 - Gold Coast & Mt Cootha
Off we headed. This time, down to Gold Coast. My 3rd visit in 2 weeks. Its becoming my 2nd home! Haa. I wish.
As usual, Harbourtown was fantastic. I got more buys.
A new ground at Australia Fair still couldn't beat my fav Pacific Fair!
Total shopping damage over 2 weeks: AUD$600+
I am absolutely horrible and uncontrollable when it comes to shopping.
Believe it, i've already bought my new year clothes too!
Haa.
The poor boys starved, cuz me and wendy shopped like crazy until 8.30pm.
Even malaya at Sunnybanks had to made them wait for their food.
Sorry!
But after coffee and cake at Three Monkeys, they seemed fully recharged.
We talked and talked. Endless topics seems to flow.
Gossiping was on the tables.
That lead to our impromtu decision to stay out and watch the SunRise.
After a quick refresher as we all went home, it was packed the car with pillows and up to Mt Cootha we drove.
Sitting in our comfort positions, we shared, ghost stories!
Hee. Fun!
As the pictures prove it.
SunRise was at its best, fallen over the Brisbane City we watched.
The rays of the Sun rise above the cloud in the Horizon.
A night i shall not forget in a looOong while.
*smilez*
_* Maturity *_
- / 11:43 am.
A good thing or a bad?
You Decide.
I appreciate being mature.
But sometimes it can be a pitfall.
I wish i could be that simple girl sometimes.
The innocent one who doesn't know much.
But it can never be me.
Maturity comes along with its characteristics.
Of being too independent, strong-willed and stubborn.
*sigh*
I want back my childhood.
seperate note: neglected my bloggie of photos for a while. Too many. Anyone willing to do photoshopping for me? *sigh*
