I'm feeling very excited for cher. haha.. her bidding thing seems like some stock market and i'm helping her to monitor it now whilst she's at orientation.. somehow the min bid keeps rising though, and i'm getting more excited as the time for bidding to stop draws near. :)

On the other hand, I'm happy for janice!!!!!!! for having passed her driving test finally.. yay!

This morning was pretty dumb. I got myself all ready to go out of the house, walk to the bus stop then receive an sms saying that tutorial has been cancelled.. so i turn back and come home again. sigh!!!! was hoping i could go get some notes from the library for monday but since there's no tutorial then forget it.

Checked snail mail and received the vcds from sis already. thanks!! now i can resume my much awaited show. :) BUT, damn irritating thing is that my pay cheque hasn't arrived yet and my parents are gonna start buggering me again about how they should call up the MOM to complain.

sigh!!! the woes of my life. I'm just such a blur worrywart. I'm trying to anticipate all the things that can possibly go wrong as i embark on my first usher assignment tmr, whilst trying to fervently memorise all the seating arrangements etc.

-gitters-

very, very peeved.

They really should come up with a better system after all. Do all ushers have to go through the same disgusting "excitement" every tuesday!!?!!!

ARGH. Just cos i damn pressed the damn refresh and everything blanked out. Now i'm left with no job and everything was gone in about 60 seconds. So which means if you don't press refresh at the right time, you gotta wait for the next tuesday. what the !@!@#

 

I think lectures have been cancelled for the week. Sigh but i'm not sure!!!!! Apparently that's what the seniors say, apparently that's what one lecturer said, the portal is half dead, and so is the blackboard system thing, and so we're not going to uni.

The reason why I'm not going is because I'm rather convinced that there won't be any classes because it's still orientation week, and though uni is near, I don't want to go and look stupid by waiting outside the LT only to find out that everything's been cancelled, for sure. Plus, there's space for reasoning should the dean request our presence or something.. blame it all on the damn portal and it's lack of information.

So it's a surprise one week break for me. :) But today will be stay home day so that i can read up on ushering stuff and familiarise myself with as much as i can.. from what mimi and shell described, their first experience was rather scary. eek!!! but i'm gonna sign up for one more event tonight.. on a saturday so it's gotta be fastest fingers first.. the exhilaration of rushing to sign up within three mins.

can't wait for the three vcds to arrive!!!!!!!!! -sobs-

-highly disturbed-

How can kids nowadays be so selfish to only think about themselves and see the world as one where only their kind should survive.

I went to have a look at some of the student's blogs and my heart just sank. Sank to the bottom, the lowest where it could possibly get. These kids curse their mother like there's no tmr with all the vulgarities possible, and they french each other and talk about their love bites so openly and oh god every possible entry of one blog has got two words surfacing in every sentence. dear dear.

-shudders-

Only a few were really bothered with what had happened to the girl. Why she had to choose such a foolish way out, and the rest just went on about their daily lives. Some didn't even mention it at all. They called their principal a chicken. everything's all f***, knn, cb and blah blah..

What has happened to the kids of today. They sound so disturbed such that I think quite a few need serious counselling.

Imagine reading something like -i want to hack my mother into a few million pieces- and -she should go suck her own pussy-

Omg I think I'm about to throw up in despair and just sadness.

I must be undergoing some bad luck streak or something.

First it was leaving my new wallet in mos burger yesterday. That had me run out of the cinema and down seven levels, only to pant in front of the manager of mos burger. Oh well I have to commend mos burger though, because i love love love them to bits for having kept my wallet. phew!! If not it would have been goodbye to 100 bucks, as well as another 100 bucks to get a replacement IC.

Then today I was late for school. The first time in my entire life i've ever been late for school. And it's all because john msged. -poo- He gave me a msg to tell me he wasn't coming to school. And that was at 7.37. So i went back to bed and when i woke up again, hmmm my hp showed 7.37.. and i actually closed my eyes for while before suddenly jumping outta bed.

Sigh. I was supposed to be in school by nine but i was in bed at 8.45. wth. SO i did the fastest morning freshen-up-then cheong-out-of-the-house thing i could and thankfully reached at 915. once again, phew. They were still at the gathering place. I collected my t-shirt then sat down and tried to calm my racing heart and sweaty armpits down. geez.. maybe the good part would have been that thankfully i didn't fall down in the midst of doing an earth shaking run to the sports hall.

Well the day went on fine after that.. was surprised our capulut (however it's spelt) thing went so far!! other than that we were pretty much bochap, but i definately got to know more people... :)

I just had my breakfast for dinner. whee... time for a nice slow bath to just settle myself down, then I'll watch more vcds. cheers to a better tmr!!

Just uploaded the pics from perth!!

And i just want to say a BIG THANK YOU, to my sis, michael, bernard and angie for having made this trip such an enjoyable and unforgettable holiday. *hugs*

Hope angie has fun in sydney, and may you guys continue to be the mad house of victoria park.

Thank you!!!!

Tired!!!

Not sure why, because today was just mainly talks, talks, and more talks, but oh well i nearly fell asleep for the library one. The bus was just crazy today, sped so fast round the bend i almost  flew off my seat. Sheesh..

Tomorrow's finally off day!! And i think tmr's timetable day too, then I'll either smile or have my heart broken into a million pieces because I probably am plagued with some stupid timetable. Sigh. Made some new friends again today, and found some people who would be in the same group as me for friday. Yay! And more importantly, I finally smiled to some SA pple today and she actually knew my name. haha. I was quite pleasantly surprised..

But all this still doesn't really take me away from my woes of wanting to be back in perth. Boohoo. Come to think about it, I should still be there now if orientation didn't have to start so early. I think by now if i was still in perth, my skin would have started to snake and I would have been penniless. haha how pathetic! I would have dated bo out then though.. the time i had there was too short to add in a meet-up. And also add in some free activities, like jogging by the swan river or something like that. :))

There was this INSTEP talk for us today, which i was highly highly interested in.. haha cos it's some student exchange programme thing, where we get to go study abroad for one semester and it may be subsidised, but only the fees. I want to go study in UK!! It'll be fantastic, esp with janice already there too. Shall work hard towards this INSTEP programme!!

I'm probably going to take a short piggy nap. haha I'm still excited that I get to reach home so early. Pardon me, but my schools have always been damn far. Now uni starts at 9, so I wake up at 8, go about my morning routine and leave the house by 845 latest and reach about just before 9 because the buses come so frequently. Halleluia..!

-grin-

 

Blogger has a new template again. I'm impressed.
 
Today marked the first day at uni and it was well, tiring. Attended a whole load of talks which I'm still unsure about, as well as sat through a concert which had little kids streaming in and out of the stage which left me grappling the side of my chair because they were just too damn cute. Imagine about fifty kids going onto the stage to like do some silly actions and they have blusher on. even the boys. haha. They're really good at psycho-ing us that we've chosen the right course man.
 
Well aside from that, I'm pretty much missing perth alot. All the shopping, walking endlessly, and of course the great food. Not forgetting, the uno sessions where i nearly laughed my head off. I actually felt a whole rush of emotions as i left the perth airport. A place where I thought i would have been bored to tears, but yet I left with such an enjoyable experience. Then again, of course the weather had a part to play in the prettiness of the entire trip. It was just perfect. I love piling on the clothes, jackets, scarfs and gloves.. wearing toe socks at night and having a hot water bottle... snuggling under duck feather blankets...
 
Sigh. Post holiday depression. Well I made a pact with sis to go back next winter. Think this time I'll have to prepare a much bigger budget, to include the charge for excess baggage. Haha..
 
Snapping back to reality, I'm all jitters for tmr because it's time to sign up for modules and frankly, I haven't got a clue as to what I'm supposed to sign up for aside from an essential module. The rest I'm quite blur. SIGH. Just wished that I could have at least had a good friend with me then we can go through this altogether. Meanwhile I'm just cold and alone, but warming up to an old classmate i met up with. Seems like all the rest know all the others already from the camp they attended last week. Sigh. Hope I'm not too late for networking this coming friday.
 
Wish me all the luck in the world that I won't get stuck with a horrid timetable then! -shudders-

Aussie life, is great.

haha. I'm at curtin uni now, in some journalism lab, and all the coms here are the super sleek imacs. Whee. Took a walk around uni just now, and it's a tad old, but oh man my first walk in a uni and it feels awkwardly fresh.

The past few days have been good too. Been to fremantle yest, but stayed in on saturday. stomach kinda exploded. Then it was more eating over at fremantle, plus some pizzas last night. Its a laughing cum eating trip man.

Wish I could blog everything down, but angie(the aussie one) is waiting downnstairs so we gotta ciao soon.

can you believe it, you've gotta say thank you to the bus driver when you alight!!!! they're just so damn nice.

At the airport now and ahhhh!!!!

I can't believe I'm actually gonna fly alone. The ground stewardess was like you're going ALONE??? haha.

The pharmacy is over at the other sid and I'm too lazy to go over to get my eyedrops. Oh well everything's gonna be fine. I'm just over anxious. Talked to cher for about 15 mins, so now I'm gnna make a trip to the toilet before boarding.

Someone please extract those butterflies from my tummy!

Can't wait to see my sis once again after eternity. :)))

Finally got the photo thing up and running. Am trying to put the evening picture as a background but I'm too illiterate to handle it. Sigh!

I'm all packed and ready!!! Well, except for the fact that i can find space to put my shoes in. gee. Think I have to start zip locking everything. haha.

Mel and mw came over for a short while just now and I was just glad things weren't weird between them anymore. -grins-

So now i just await tmr, where i'm gonna be leaving on a jet plane... myself.

Excited!!! Ok fine... with a tinge of scaredy-cat-ness.

BACK!!

Now is the time for me to sit down and recollect all my thoughts. I've had so much fun I don't even know where to begin with! The different shades of blue and turqoise of the turbulent on the surface but calm on the inside sea, the enchanting view from down under, and not forgetting the pristine soft white sand which my feet came in constant contact with.

So much to rememeber of that magical place, but only three days i had to embrace it all.

Island life really is perfect. Who cares about earning more and more money so that our materials needs can be satisfied when out there someplace else there's just so much more beyond money matters.

Typical day starts off with waking up to the soft breeze of the endearing sea which, happens to be right in front of you. Then we go for a light breakfast at the eating area where i opted to have honey on toast. lovely. After which, the snorkelling starts, so we take our gear, and pack into the speed boat which takes us to several locations.

The huge sea turtles, loads of angel fish, christmas tree corals, giant clams, soft and hard corals, table top corals, pomfrets, star fishes and so many other species which i didn't know of. We saw them all, and the view as you look down say twenty feet, is just indescribable. Imagine, the water is so clear that twenty feet down everything still looks so damn clear.

Best of all, I HELD NEMO( or rather known as the anemone/clown fish) WITH MY OWN BARE HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so exhilarated I forgot to take a close up pic. But i guess the poor little fella was frightened to bits as well. Teehee.. clown fish are SO cute. Sigh.. I could spend a lifetime just looking at them go in and out of those soft swaying corals.

Well anyway after all the ooh-ahh-ing at the snorkelling sites, we return for lunch, then chill out in the afternoon. Some went jungle trekking, whereas the rest of us just took a short nap. Then evening comes, so I walk out to the jetty, sit with my legs swinging at the edge, and i take some pics of the evening setting. Dinner is thus served, and we have some karaoke session thereafter.

Then I walk out to the beach and just look up towards the sky, because that's when I'll know I don't ever want to leave this island. The stars, the stars, the stars just light up the entire sky, coupled with some nuts who spoiled a bit of the loveliness by setting off some fireworks. But nonetheless after the fireworks subsided, the stars regained their full glory and i was taken away by it's beauty once again.

Well now that I'm back here in the city, I just can't help but float back to the times of perhentian. I hereby declare perhentian my yearly beach destination for the month of july. Where the island itself can just enchant me once more.

And I'll pray and hope every single day that no one takes away it's glory, by building some assholic hotel or mega resort. I nearly burst with anger when the guide there told us that berjaya hotel over at redang killed a whole row of corals just to build a damn jetty. Therefore, I will never set foot in that damned hotel.

Guess the only pity would be that I didn't get to go squid jigging as well as see the sharks. The current was too strong and my legs couldn't move fast enough. haha.

I shall go get my fingernails trimmed now, then catch some sleep. It's wakey bright and early tmr morning, so that i can finish my house elf duties, as well as get ready for the flight on friday morning before giving tuition later at night.

Talking about flights, air asia is actually not too bad. Just that I wished they could have like some seat allocation system, so that everyone doesn't have to rush and rush just to get a nicer seat. :)

nites!!!!

In the midst of wanting to enjoy my free time more and more, I just realised that I"ve been neglecting the other side and it worries me now.

All of a sudden a fresh stinging lecture from my dad made me realise that I had been shoving too many things to the back of my mind. In wanting to just have more and more fun I had neglected my own inner self and made others worry for me.

If sis didn't call this morning I wouldn't have realised that I had clean forgotten that I had to go change my money to aussie dollars today cos there's no time next week. I wouldn't have remembered the fact that I haven't friggin packed either. Worse still, I haven't even fully packed for perhentian, in which tmr is actually the departure day. I haven't washed my toilet for eternity, and I've just lost total contact with my once disciplined self.

And so I am very upset at how I've let myself become.

I shall set things right from this moment.

YEAURGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bloody hell bloody hell bloody hell.

Damn show has got no damn ending. 40 epis and no ending. great!!

-smiles blissfully-

Haven't had such girly fun for some time.

:))))

We ate, and ate, and ate somemore, and i drank alot of soup. I think we spent like almost three hours at the steamboat place, just catching up and reminiscing old times when we were berserk. Wonder if we'll still have the same zest and enthusiasm when we meet the next time.. but tonight was sure worth every cent and time.

After which we did a brisk walk to mango and i grabbed a top. haha. couldn't resist the temptation in the end, and we took loads and loads of pics, which i will upload when i have the time to. :)

So that wrapped up a lovely evening. Last night was great too. Went over to janice's and marvelled at her house. haha.. It was so beautiful!!!!!!! We dipped our legs into the swimming pool, sat at the slide in the spick and span playground, and ate dinner by the koi pond. I told her her house was like the perfect romantic night getaway.

-swoons-

Not forgetting the most hilarious moment where janice stood outside jerry's restaurant and asked for the chef to smuggle some chicken wings out. I nearly died rolling on the floor with laughter.

I should be able to finish up the entire series by tmr morning. :) Then i'll pass the whole thing to mel who has to crash it out in five days. haha but i'm sure she'll cope. It's too addictive anyway. Then it's off to the aritficial beach of sentosa!! Which pales very much in comparison to the soft white sandy beaches of perhentian where the water is crystal clear, but it's all we've got here.

Cheers to tanning then!! And hope i don't return looking like a lobster.
