Wad up yo?
the BIG move took an unsuspecting and unnecessary turn. I just settled in on thursday, which was yesterday. I finished setting in- setting up the room, making it as homey as possible. Then, my dad was like, 'I don't like the place' He was not happy with the place. Even thought it was really near uni.
We had an argument about it. he didn't raise his voice or anything, but he did give me an ultimatum, or a statement to that effect. You lot know what I'm like when I'm peeved off about something...I had to grit my teeth, seal my lips in order no to say or do anything thing that i will regret or cause me to be chopped up and cooked into curry.
So, last night, I had to make a call to JoE...THANK GOD- her mom's gonna let me bunk in the spare room. Gosh, what will i do with out you Jo! :)
So now, I have to move, yet again...
Anyways, I haven't done any studying, thanks to the move and the fact that my dad's in town. So, I'm hoping and praying that I haven't missed anything- uni wise

To Julia:
I'm so envious that you get to make a quick run for home every break. I'm stuck at school trying to complete 2 assignments worth 10%ea! The best part is the jounrla articles I need are all from 1974, '75, '89 that sort of era which means they're not on the Net and I've to scour the library reference section for the articles I need. You have No Idea. Anyway, shame you can't go to the finals -- Jon would have loved to see you :) Ah well, enjoy it there in Sunny Sg.
To Min:
Hey babe, how's it going with the Big Move? I haven't heard from you so I'm assuming it's been pretty hectic for you. But you're moving in with nice people (assumption) so you should be all settled in by tomorrow or Thu or something. Text me again when you're all right and ready. Ok?
-----
So, that's pretty much my life during the break now. It's pretty ironic, really. It's not a real break. How can it be considered a break when all I'm still doing is work?! I need a Boost Juice and some retail therapy but I won't be getting none of that until the end of this month. I have to ensure I complete all the intrasemester assessments first.
SIGH.

When the panic sets in
IGNORE THIS POST IF YOU WANT TO REMAIN HAPPY
When I woke up today, I had THE feeling- F*ck
When I went to work, it was still there- F*ck
It's only week 4, and the feeling's gotten hold.
I've got a bad BAD feeling, it's one of those days, Crystal said everyone goes through that one day.
I'm trying to get that feeling to go away, I can't. I have a feeling I won't make it this sem. *nervour laugh.
Can someone just run me down already! What the f*ck! I'm a screw up aren't I? If I fail this sem, I don't know what I'm to do. I sat down at home this morning, after work, just for 5 mins, thinking- of a back-up plan. Got nothing. I sould be studying or something, but I just seem to not know where to start (I KNOW I'VE GOTTA START SOMEWHERE)
When I meet people, and they ask me what I usually do, I'm reluctant to say that I'm a f*cking law student. Because most people will go 'Ohhhhhhhh' I cringe, inwards- DRY RENCH!
I am the best example of what a Law student is NOT.
Yes yes, today, I'm just gonna rant rant rant rant, maybe by tonight I'll be happy, maybe I'll get over this retarded shit! Excuse the crude language ladies and gents, for I am in no mood to hide it.
I will be ok, won't I?

Wednesdays always leave me exhausted but it's my favourite weekday this semester. There's 2 hours of Animal Systems lectures and 3 hours of practical animal handling down at the Vet Farm in the arvo. What more could I ask for.
It was all about the horse industy yesterday during lectures. Clearly, horses play a very big role in the economy of Australia and are used for many purposes - working, sporting, entertainment, showing, war (at least when big technologies didn't exist) etc. We all had a little laugh when the lecturer said, "And we do see some miniature horse owners come in ..." and he stops short to clarify, "I meant miniature horses, not miniature owners ..." The lecture theatre burst into a complementary laugh but the lecturer took it so much upon himself that when he tried to continue his lecture, he kept bursting into fits of laughter which influenced everybody else to laugh with him. I laughed too but only because he was laughing so if he didn't stop, I couldn't stop either!
So, anyway, the amazing part about Wednesdays is the farm practicals. I did horse handling last week which involved haltering a horse from the paddock and leading it into a crusher. We learnt many things thereafter: putting on a bit, tying slipknots, farriering (holding a hoof) and trotting a horse. It was so much fun. One of the best bits is that horses don't get you dirty. My overalls were squeak clean at the end of the session. I just wished I had more time to try haltering other horses to practise.
Yesterday was sheep handling. Unlike horses that are quite confident (size maybe?) sheep just don't get any used to humans no matter how much they were handled before. Unlike horses, halters and leads aren't enough to control and restrain a sheep. So it was a rather awkward experience trying to handle them and getting them to Stay Put.
Tasks:
4. Bloods
It was pretty tough for me because the sheep were skittish but just before you get ahold of them. When I did and by the time I was done with them, my feet were cramping. A lot. And it took a lot of brute strength (at least where I'm concerned) to position one and let it allow me to do what I had to. My best task had to be taking bloods - I had it at one try and did it bleed. I'm just glad I didn't have to poke the poor thing too many times. THAT would make ME upset.
My arms are aching!!!

Tasks:
1. Restrain sheep
flank method (grab some skin and flop)
farmer's method (face to flank; press the rump)
shearer's method (lift and sit)
buckle method (face to flank; buckle a hindleg)
2. Tie sheep
triangle method (measure length of sheep; tie a knot; triangularize hindlegs and head)
lasso method (tie all 4 legs together)

Bitten too much...choking!
I realise that I want to do absolutely EVERYTHING!
1. study
2. work
3. surf
4. moot (Law competition)
5. gym
6. basketball
7. youth camp
...
I enrolled for the moot comp, but they didn't email me the question, so I'm gonna take it as a sign from the big man upstairs that 'hey, easy'. LOL
Surfing is a go, but I promised daddy-o, that I won't let it affect my studies (not doing a good job of that at the moment).
Julia- I want to go white water rafting, but maybe not this time, my hands are tied at the moment.
I was suppose to be a camp captain on a youth camp that Nisha and I are volunteering for. it was suppose to be 2nd week of Oct, Tuesday to Friday. But I've got an ethics presentation on wednesday. BUMMER! So, I was looking at it again, I realise that if I can finish my assignments that I have to hand in that Friday, then...I CAN GO!!! The co-ord said that there will be a car leaving Perth on Thursday, plus, he'll need extra help on Thursday, because of the TREASURE HUNT!!! in search of the gold arrrrrr!
Gosh, this is so exciting, I can hardly wait...we're going to camp WOOHOOO!!!!!
Nish, if you are reading this, surf's gonna be at Scarborough, waves at Leighton ain't gonna be big enough. So i'll see you at Wellington bus port just before 8am.

HEY GALZ, it has been such a loooooooooong time since i update on this blog. *embarrassed* how's uni so far? I am really enjoying it this sem! I am doing all my fav units! hee...
Anyway, a little update on my love life! I am totally outta my "unstable" relationship with EJ(in s'pore). Damn! I still can't be sure whether I really like him. Then there is this guy whom I know from work who is also younger than me. He asked me out for movies but i rejected, but he still called me to talk one night. After that night, he was "gone". I did not hear from him until last friday when he drop by my workplace to look for his dad (the baker in the bakery I am working). anywayz, i am officially single again! (but feels the same when I was with Ej...haha)
oh yeah, is the grad ball still on?

Longing for the Ocean
I had today off- AWESOME. I'll be starting lectures tomorrow. The curious thing is that I'm actually feeling a little nervous. Maybe it's the last shock wave from almost not making it to this semester.
I'm always harping and complaining loudly and sarcastically how I don't have a car and all. I finally realised why I've been mesirable and snappy about this issue. It's not about the car- it's about the freedom that I get. The feeling of absolute bliss that words fail to describe. I finally realised ( I think with the grace of God) that there is something better- Surfing.
Yes, Surfing- it's the perfect trinity- you, God and the ocean.
It's like a doctor's appointment, only that the 'doctor' lets you take as many sugar-free lollies and you leave with the mental note that you'll be back again.

School starts tomorrow, and weirdly, I just can't wait. At least with school, I'd have something to keep me busy.
I just got a new tuition assignment, nearer my house. Phew! And, I realised that teaching sec kids is so much easier than pri kids. Honestly, I don't even like teaching and the only reason why I'm still doing it is for the moolah! heh!
A few days ago, I got drunk and real high, for the very first time. An accomplishment for me I must say! And I have to admit, it was a goooddddd feeling!
My cat recently got into yet another fight and his leg swelled up to 3 times its normal size. It's returned to its original size now, with the help of the meds but he still limps. The vet shaved his leg, and I actually like the naked look of the cat. Ha.!
Been going out a lot lately, to fill the void. And, I've become really broke now. Damn!
My laptop is slowing dying on me. It hangs, alot! And sometimes, it just shuts down on its own. Time to think of getting a new one!
I realised that it's hard to cut someone out of your life completely, especially when that person just doesn't want to leave. But when something is over, it's over, no?
Anyway, have a good semester everyone, it looks real packed for me! Essh!

I think I've lost a good friend
I went online today,
I wanted to find him.
A friend I had,
a friend I miss.
I looked through the list,
His name was not there.
I typed his name in full,
none seemed to exist.
It's been awhile
since we've spoken.
It's been too long gone,
I'm dazed with nostalgia.
If I ever see him again,
It would seem like a dream.
All time will stop,
as I embrace a friend I'd lost.

Paddle in the kiddy pool
It's been awhile since I've blogged...I know...anyways, Nisha, i am still in one piece...
Anyways, weather in Singapore hasn't been the sunniest or whatever.
I'm getting a little jumpy cuz the results for my supplemetary paper's not out yet. So yeah, Sitting around here, waiting for the damn results, sucks. I swear to God, if I ever have to sit for a Supp paper every again, I will shoot myself. Provided I find a gun first....
I bet you guys are wondering what's goin' on with my post's title, anyways, today, I went swimming- in a pool. It's been awhile. I mean it's not a Kiddy pool per say, it's just a little pool. haha...I'm ranting on aren't I?
Anyways, about the tatt, I didn't bother to hide it. I mean, my parents will find out eventually. My dad spotted it 30 minutes after he met me. I won't go into the nitty gritty detail, but he didn't yell. He just said, "Your mother won't be too happy." I almost collapsed with shock. It's been 4 days, but my mom still hasn't spot it, either she did but she just kept quiet, or she really is... oblivious.
You know that feeling you can't breathe but you are inhaling and exhaling? The feeling of the ground trembling under your feet and it's going to give way any minute?
Then you tell yourself, it's all gonna be ok.

hiya folks. long time no see.
sorry, it's not that i don't blog. it's that i can't. since it's the holidays, i don't actually have easy WWW access. when i do, it's usually at the clinic but i can't sit for two minutes straight without the phones going off or me having to hold a dog for anal glands. yes, a very glamourous job indeed. however, i'm proud to say that i am very happy with my work at the clinic. i look forward to the days i work - i got more than fortnightly shifts to replace a weekday nurse. anyway, the point is i can only get so much time to check my gmail and maybe pop into facebook once in a blue moon to see who's been sending me requests of all sorts which i honeslty don't give a rat's ass about because i think applications are just annoying. period. excuse me.
anyway, how have y'all been? i see min, nisha and julia have left there typeprints not too long ago. but i'm still quite confused. so who's in perth and who's not?
wait! the ones in singapore. i need a favour. i recently bought a collar for yang but it doesn't come with a bell. stupid design. as if a bell would jack the price of a collar to 50 bucks or something. and i haven't seen anywhere selling bells only here in P. anyway, i will be forever grateful to anybody who can snag a black or silver bell for me. i don't want bells that tinkle. and definitely not christmas ding-dongs. about a size smaller than a marble should do fine. and hopefully there's a little keyring with it or else i won't know how to fit the bell on the collar. i can't sew, y'know. so if someone can buy that for me, that would be brilliant. i love you! really.
julia, it's ironic for a chronic retail therapy patient to give advice to another so i can't help you with the Shopaholic Syndrome. but i was about to ask if anyone wants to hang out after 22 july (supp paper!) i have until 4 august to chill out before 2nd semester starts. except the immediate saturday of which i'm going out with jon because, believe it or not, i haven't seen him since 2 july. by then, i would have not seen him for 3.5 weeks. way to go. test of time. but i'm mostly at work so there's a mutual understanding there. if i wasn't, i think we'd been tearing each other's eyes and ears out. we are very Weird. the capital "W" is not a mistake.
as for supp papers, until now i wake up everyday thinking that was just a dream. it's not real. i mean, i have never failed any paper. sure i've hit 50 right on and i got 49.5 on my intrasemester paper once but it didn't qualify as a fail. if i actually FAILED my anatomy prac paper, it means it was below 45%. that's INSANE! i mean, wha- what the- how- i can't believe it. and i still didn't believe until now.
the paper is in 6 days and i have 6 days to nail this paper. this ... supp paper. i need lots and lots of aspirin right now.
sorry, it's not that i don't blog. it's that i can't. since it's the holidays, i don't actually have easy WWW access. when i do, it's usually at the clinic but i can't sit for two minutes straight without the phones going off or me having to hold a dog for anal glands. yes, a very glamourous job indeed. however, i'm proud to say that i am very happy with my work at the clinic. i look forward to the days i work - i got more than fortnightly shifts to replace a weekday nurse. anyway, the point is i can only get so much time to check my gmail and maybe pop into facebook once in a blue moon to see who's been sending me requests of all sorts which i honeslty don't give a rat's ass about because i think applications are just annoying. period. excuse me.

I finally found out when my supp paper is on (18 july), but what the lecturer told me and the examination office put up on the website is inconsistent. My lecturer said that it'll be 3 hours opened book...but on the web page is says 2 hours closed book...wad the...ah well, I sent her an email so I shall see what she says...
aye...I'm bloggin away randomly cuz I'm in uni, I went to the gym too early so now I'm sitting around waiting for Jo so we can go to lunch.
Should be studing eh? I forgot to bring my books. ok fine, I thought I won't have time in between so I left them at home.
I feeling a little nervous really, I mean like I've got about 2 weeks? To study for the exam, but I don't have a clue where to start, I did organise all my things and made sure my notes are all in order, I've started, but I don't know if I'm on the right track. Ah well, at least I've got a second chance right?
Just this morning, I woke up and the first thought of the day was gotta pack my bag for home I stopped myself- hang on a sec, I ain't going anywhere...random I know. It's quite funny being in the apartment all alone, and I've come to realise that it's always pitch black, well, not really, but I've been trying to save electricity, so I'm keeping lighting to the minimal. I actually felt guilty for leaving the kitchen light on while I was sitting on the couch watching TV, only the TV and the Kitchen light were switched on. Random I know!
I am gonna indulge- I'm going to give myself a treat. :) I am going to buy Supernatural Season 2 boxset. I doubt season 3's is out yet...and when the supp paper is over (Alas!) I will sit there and watch 24/7...play...rewind...freeze..rewind...play...stop...rewind all day long...haha...first, I have to figure out where the tricable that connects the DVD player to the TV went...
Yes, Supernatural will be my ultimate goal :)
Alright then, I shall waste away in randomness, into the random realm of randomness, can you get anymore random than that? I don't know. Randomly, I guess not. :)

What Wonderful Timing
Man, I was hoping and praying that they would be able to let me sit for the supp paper earlier or something, cuz I was planning to go home in the last two weeks of July. I emailed the exam guy and he said that if I couldn'tsit for the supp paper in the allocated time, then I will get an F.
Seriously, don't they have defered assessments or some shit like that?
I dunno whether to be pisses or thankful...
Both maybe...
Seriously, I really feel like packing up and going somewhere, anywhere but here...nothing seems to be going on right at all...it almost seems as though all the aspects of my life is slipping away, spiralling out of control.
I like being alone, it gives you time to think, but sometimes, all your thoughts are buzzing in your head all at one go, you can't hear it clearly...
Maybe it's a good thing that my dad thinks (when i say thinks i mean imply) that i'm too stupid to drive, so he's trying to wiggle out of getting me my first car...cuz I would probably pack up and go....somewhere...anywhere but here...
where would I go I hear you ask? I dunno, around...
Honestly, I am a happy person, usually, critical yes, sacrcastic yes, have a sense of dark humour sure, but I am a happy perosn. When they say that laughter is the best medicine, it's true, no doubt about that...and you're working your abs from the inside out...
Well, looks like I'm staying down under until the end of the year... what should I do...I wanna go on another surf trip, but money's a little tight...I'm trying to save up for a deposit on a car...we'll see when we get there...
eff it...I'm off...

busy bee
alright, here's one of the few rare entries of mine. sorry for the lack of updates, i've got a personal blog and it feels kinda weird to repeat myself in 2 places and i could write different things in both sides but i would want everything there so that leaves with nothing here haha but anyway here i am now and i'll try to write more often :)
i'm back in the tiny and horribly humid sunny island! touched down yesterday and arrived home looking my ugliest (like how we all do with 3 hours of sleep a day + a paper on that very arvo + a whole lot of movies on the midnight flight heh heh) to a whole bunch of people cuz it was the day of my 'gugu's' wedding and she lives with me. i dozed off halfway through the wedding and was terribly embarrassed. i was sooo tired, i turned on my laptop when i got home and left it on my lap. while staring at the screen for it to start up, i actually fell asleep within that THREE minutes. geez.
oh and i shall not talk about my exams cuz i just feel so depressed and guilty whenever i think of my parents' expressions if i told them i'd be able to graduate only 2 years later because i failed my units and have to retake them for a semester which i'm extremely convinced i would cuz my exams totally killed me. but at the same time i'm also hoping for a miracle that maybe half the cohort would fail forcing them to scale muahahaha so for any of you reading i'll give a treat at a place you name if i pass ALL my units ok? :)
its weird but i feel even busier here than in perth with all the exams and shit. i hope it'll only last for the first 2 weeks cuz i really think i deserve to have a break and enjoy my hols and do things like.. bumm around the house from this chair to that sofa to the bed to the dinner table hehe or like.. shopping but thats financially straining considering my mom doesnt give me an allowance ever since my dad settled my everything when i went to perth and the allowance he gives me in perth is like.. enough for the time i live in perth only (i think i'm being ripped off and the damage is quite traumatizing considering my frightening expenditure every month so i shall propose a new arrangement soon) but until then the bottom line is i NEED to find a way to be able to shop and not cringe every time i take a peak at the price tag. any ideas? hehe and then theres the quest to LOSE WEIGHT while feasting on all the good food at the same time haha i need some enlightenment oh oh and i seriously am thinking of going for a brazilian but i'm scaaared :( and i need to get a new phone cuz my pretty pink precious is halfway to its grave and i'm torrnn between the iphone and the prada phone. hmm does anyone realise how random this entry is?
and to be more random, i think i need to grow up a bit. my friend was telling me her goal would be to hit the manager position by the time she was 26. i said i wanted to be able to earn my chanel 2.55 within 2 years of working. neeeeed to grow up haha. alright i'm dead beat after a brunch at a place i've never been to which is near jade's place and a farewell party for a friend whos leaving for melbourne just this evening. and a brunch date with my bestie tomorrow morning and notice its brunch not lunch which means i have to get up early!!! told ya i was busy. lots of love byebye!

effing supplementary paper
I was at home, doing my big cook off and sarah called, she said that the exam results were out...I swear to god, my heart skipped a beat, for a split second, my blood backflowed, my mouth felt as though it was stuffed with sandpaper, I thanked her and said that I would check later. She offered to check it for me, but i declined. My stomach did a flip as a tossed the veg in my pot.
Quick think think...my action plan was to finish cooking, and check the results online and then to clean the entire house (cleaning can be meditative). Good plan.
Do I really want to know the results, I do but I don't. I swear, public speaking in the nude or proposing to prince william would be soooo much easier.
After dragging out what the cook off, I had to face it. So i did, my fingers tingled as I presse the 'on' button and typed on the keyboard.
I did the weridest thing when the page was loading. I shut my eyes but peaked at the loading bar, so I ended up with a half squint thingo.
This was is. I just passed BMS101 and LAW120 I failed PEC140 and I had to do a supp paper for LAW150.
I had mixed emotions. I was glad that I passed what I had to pass but I was peeved off at the same time because I have to do a Supp paper. According to Jo, hers was gonna be on 22 July. With any luck, mine would probably be during the same time. Bugger! original plan: head home in the last two weeks of July, because my sister's concert is going to be in the last weekend.
It's frustrating- when the exams were over, I cleaned m room and organised all my papers. Happily, I filed them away. Now, thanks to that damn supp paper, I hav have to dig it out and study. Thank God it's gonna be a open book exam, but it's going to be 3 hours long.
Anyways, maybe it's a good idea that I haven't got much distraction around me. If you don't include the TV, the gym, books, drawings...then yeah, I'm all set.

Don't waste your time
I see that no one's put up anything yet...then I shall torture you with my mindless word play.
I saw a rainbow today on the train...wait..no...I was on the train, the rainbow was out there..anyways...I wonder if there is something at theother end of th rainbow. Wouldn't it be amazing if ther was? What would we find? I don't think we'll find a pot of gold... Maybe we'll find a house made of candy...that would be interesting.
I'm bored out of my wits, I just got back from work, and now, there is nothing good on...the tv networks really have to put good shows on saturdays...I'm too hyper to read something (shocker there, I'm refusing to read...)
Maybe I can ramble on and on and on and on..then I'll finally settle down and read something. I amde Tiramisu yesterday, and boy, it was a good first attempt...I bought the miniature Tia Maria, it cost me $7! After I made the Tiramisu, I realised that I had to finish it all by myself because Crystal and Nat has gone home sweet home and dear Nisha's gone to Melbourne...haha...DANG! There are other folks, but these are the ones closest in terms of proximity.
Oh I lament! Lament this awful and frustrating situation!
LOL that sounded very dramatic, think OTT (over the top) fainting :)
Ok, I think I'm settled now, I shall read...catch ya suckers later!

What's a Dream without a Struggle?
An interesteing question don't you think? What is a dream without a struggle- Let's break it down: what is a dream? what is a struggle?
According to my little handy dandy Oxford dictionary,
A dream is: 1) a series of images and feelings that occur in your mind while you are asleep. 2) A long-held ambition or ideal 3) informal A wonderful or perfect person or thing.
A struggle is: 1) make great effort to get free. 2)try hard to do something. 3) make your way with difficulty...
So a dream without a struggle is an ambition without the hard work. this leads to my next point, which is- if you DON'T struggle, you will never realise the dream or apreciate it when you finally reach the long-held ambition or ideal.
What if the struggle is really testing the limits? What is it's really pushing you over the edge? What if one more poke at the ribs will send you head first over the cliff and into the jaggered rocks and crashing waves.
This is what waiting for those bloody results feel like right now. I know they are a couple of days away, and I did what I could for the exams. What else could I possibly hope for?
Yeah, One more thing- A divine intervention!
We were watching Evan Almightly the other day (at the sleepover) and there were so many points of the movie that were really relavant. (you must be thinking, "C'mon, it's a freaking movie!" I'd say, "Movies are a reflection of life- just distorted")
The bits that struck me the most was that trials and challenges were a way that God shows us that he loves us. And when we pray for something, like peace, God doesn't give peace, he gives us the opportunity to choose peace.
I just thought that they were really good points. It brings about a sense of relief and comfort even. But with that, there is also a sense of doom. You can't help but wonder, is there any more to come? Will the big man upstairs put me through more than this?
This is the part where most people, certainly me, say, 'Just kill me already, get it over a done with!'
I am not a religious person, as compared to others. I do talk about God, but I am no saint. I do skip the rare services once in a blue moon (What's the point of going when you're gonna be tuned out?) I swear my arse off and sometimes, that actually scares me and if I want to, I can have the foulest mouth in the entire universe, saying the most hurtful things. I am no saint, but I believe that the Big man upstairs has got a plan of all of us, the contents- classified.
Sometimes I think the way he organises the universe is on a need-to-know organisation system. If you need to know, he'll tell you...no actually scratch that, he'll give you cryptic clues and you go figure.
At this point, you must be wondering why did I go from dreams and struggles to God. Well, my dear friends, I don't know, but I have a feeling they intertwine.
