i feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
my heart is pounding and the blood is rushing from my head resulting in vertigo and dizziness
classic symptoms of an anxiety attack?
sometimes i THINK too much
and that morbid imagination of mine spirals way out of control
everyone has their insecurities and for once i'm giving in to mine
which, on hindsight, is quite a bad thing
keeping everything neatly bottled up inside usually works wonders for me
why does today have to be different
also
at the present moment
people who are tactless and insensitive rank highest on joyce's "to-murder-with-blunt-object-thus-causing-maximum-pain" list
days like this make me want to curl up into a ball and sleep my life away
where are my pillars of support when i so desperately need them
immy see-see pikey fly here now
please?
on a lighter note,
pavlov had his dogs
but joyce has her kelvin
and that makes for a far better demonstration
today, she has successfully demonstrated the basic concepts of classical (and maybe even operant) conditioning to the ignorant masses at jane (haha)
can anyone say NOBEL LAUREATE IN THE MAKING?!

y'know how sometimes you feel like standing in the middle of your room and hollering FUUUUUUUCCCCK (or other similar rude swearword)
with all the angst and frustration and bllaarrrrgggh feelings you can muster
this is one of those times.
yes.
really.
and how was your day?

this is one of those times.

really.
and how was your day?
To you:
Its been 10 months since we've gone our separate ways
And even though we parted under rather painful circumstances
I need to thank you now
For your endless support
For your constant encouragement
For your kind words
For being gracious and big-hearted
For letting me move on when so many others couldn't, and wouldn't
that's something that I genuinely value beyond words
time heals all wounds, they say-- I'm glad that i can now appreciate the truth of that statement
and at the end of the day, I'm really thankful that I can still call you one of my best mates, even though we might still be painstakingly attempting to re-forge the bonds that used to exist between us at times
but in every relationship (platonic or no) there are bound to be peaks and dips-- I reckon we've finally gotten out of the lowest of low 'dips' ever and we?re well on our way to building up a fabulous, fantastic friendship again
so cheers to that!
and GOOD LUCK with her!!! If she's got half (nay, even a microtenth of) a brain in her head she'll realize what a fandabidozi catch you are matey, and NEVER let you go! haha. i'm certain you'll charm her socks (among other things, haw haw) off dude! =)

ahhh the wonders of technology
today, i must declare--
that the webcam is one of THE best inventions known to mankind
now not only do i get to hear my sweetie's voice
i get to see his haaam-suuum face!!!
its such a surreal experience, seeing someone who's actually thousands of miles away in real time
anyhow
enough blabbering from me
let the pictures speak for themselves!
both of us amused at something
'arrgh arrgh this conversation is waaay tooo profound for me' thinks mogu (haha as if! top 1.4% in australia leh. fwaw.)
'ok that girl is a bit wonky' my mogu looks slightly bemused upon seeing my silly face
a person could get seriously addicted to this.
p.s. NO MORE COMMENTS ABOUT THE HAIR, thankyouverymuch. its always up like that when i play basketball and badminton (and netball and when i'm running etc, etc, etc) and that was exactly what i was doing earlier in the evening. so there. -rawrrrr-

oh yes
gentlemanly blokes can make a girl swoon
so chaps out there-- take note!
it also helps if you're cute, by the way
heh
today was fantastic
weather was beyond amazing
clear blue skies, warm sun and cool breezes
not a cloud in the sky
salamanca trip was good bought tonnes of stuff for people
had a bit of a rest back at jane before heading out to woolies to buy groceries for our cooking session at ping en's
which turned out amazingly well, incidentally
black bean, mushroom and chilli pork chops
2 pots of seafood tom yam soup
cheese mushroom omelettes
chicken mushroom choy sim noodles
mexican meatballs and rice
absolutely delish.
i'm looking forward to moving outta jane next year, so i can try my hand at more coooooking!
it can be rather addictive
and when the results taste as good as the stuff we prepared tonight--
it only serves as an incentive to coooook moooore
ping en with what was left of the food
the boys
candid shot of the boys
ah peng being silly, as usual (i cant believe how ping en dared to smoke one of his ciggies after this)
the girls, laughing at ah peng who was taking the photo
the whole group, unfortch the chaps were (obviously) distracted by something ping en was saying dammit.
played random card games after that
received a call from my mogu boy-- it was a long, and very good conversation we had
i'm glad you called and we got a chance to speak
long distance relationships are tough, no doubt
and sometimes it can really get to you
but it always helps when one is able to talk things through with one's significant other
yeah that was a really fantastic chat and i'm so relieved we've talked some things through
little by little our relationship is maturing as we hurdle past these little bumps along the way, and that's an excellent feeling
and to cut a long story short--
after that we headed out to isobar to accompany ah peng in his hopes to pick up!!!
he's certainly getting along v well with that chick he met there last week haha
music rocked the house down and i'm glad because with good music like that, who needs alcohol?
pazwa (ie: libin's handsomest man at jane!! haha) joined us and it was fun talking to him whilst waiting for ah peng to hook up with said girl ahhaha
he's an amazingly nice dooode and so friendly too! its good to know that someone like him's on the jane committee, for sure
so now i'm back
missing my mushroom man like crazy
and not sleepy yet!
which is strange
ah well
at least i'll get to sleep for an extra hour because daylight savings is finally over as of TODAY.
now that deserves a huuuuge HUZZZZAH doesnt it!

ooh ooh ooh today was so much fun
classes were alright
finally finished up one of my chem webcts assignments and our lecturer gave us some of the BEST news possible-- a reduction in graded assignments for this semester (WHOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)
then it was SHOPPING SHOPPING SHOPPPPING with my shopaholic darrrrlins' libin and yena
fell in LOVE with a pair of really really really (i cannot stress this enough) funkymama sandra miller pointy heels but at AUD89.90 it was a little more than over the budget =(
regrettably i had to leave the shop empty handed
yena bought these really lovely pair of pink pants, really pretty bathers and a VERY COOL Cult denim mini that only she could fit into
ahhh the wonders of being a size 8
libin bought a navy cheerleader miniskirt
and i bought a pair of dusty rose low-rider slacks
All 50% off! dont we all just love summer sales?
and since i dont think we'll be flying to melbourne over easter (peng's lecturers are as evil as mine-- he has mid sem exams a few days after easter too) i reckon i'll just use whatever moolah i've been saving up for the trip on more shopping here because what else would i have been doing in melb innit. -sigh-
the blokes were really patient with us but somehow i think the 4 of them had a good time doing their own guy things while they were waiting for us
had the BEST indian food i've tasted in my entire life this very eveing (or maybe its the lack of semi-decent asian food at jane that's lowering our standards)
we chomped our way through chicken vindaloo, butter chicken, beef and lamb curries and cheese and garlic naans and popadums
absolutely deliiish.
if jane served good food like that.... ah well i suppose one can always dream eh.
and then after that, we all trooped to ping en's house, which incidentally, is exceedingly nice in all its multicoloured walls and shiny parquet-ed flooring glory
chilled out and yakkity yakked away for get this-- SEVEN HOURS STRAIGHT
from 8pm--3+am
kelvin and peng headed back to jane at around 12mn to meet up with some other people for a night of party action but the rest of us were too pooped after the long day at uni to move
so yena libin bryan and myself just chilled in ping en's room and the 5 of us really talked (and bitched hahaha) the whole night away
this beats the 5 hour chat in the dining hall a few weeks back FLAT i tell yer
its amazing how time flies when you're with friends and when you're having fun just talking and getting to know each other
tomorrow its salamanca again!
yena and i need to get birthday pressies for people
and then we're all going down to ping en's mansion (haha) to cook dinner tomorrow
libin yena and i had better think of something GOOD to cook, and think of it SOON
i hope to gawd our food turns out all right
we most certainly do not want to be the laughingstock of all of them chappies although for various reasons, we already seem to be aforementioned laughingstocks which is not good for the ego nonono it isnt!
grrrrrr.

so much for not blogging until i get my act together eh
but this is one of the times where i simply feel like screaming and tearing out my hair and kicking at random objects
the work just keeps on piling up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it feels like the moment i finish one thing, a million new things have to be done and i HATE THAT!!!!!!!!!
the feeling is akin to running towards a finishing line that KEEPS MOVING FURTHER AND FURTHER AWAY
so i'm about 99% done with the psych essay and i was really, REALLY looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend but NO
zoology assignment comes in and i know next to NOTHING about the essay we're supposed to be writing about thanks in part to falling asleep during all the lectures i've actually attended or skipping the lectures entirely and that's due in on weds... ACK
and then there's TWO chem webCT assignements to be submitted by monday and one is on lab safety which is completely ridiculous! you might think "AW SHUCKS THATS EASY PEASY" but there's about 17 pages of lab safety in the manual to read and its effing boring and pointless and useless-- but the worst thing is that the webCT thing for this topic is actually TRICKSY and hard to do (i kid you not! either that or i'm just hopelessly stupid) and i still find is really idiotic that this dumbarse thing actually contributes to a percentage of my final grade at the end of the semester bloodybuggerit!
also there's chem prelab to complete before monday and its a HORRENDOUSLY LONG PRAC come monday which means TONNES of reading to do and even MORE calculations and shiaate like that
havent had time to go for vocal ensemble rehearsals at all, cant go white-water rafting this weekend because there's too much work, might give badminton tomorrow a miss so i can stay in and finish up the readings for my zoo essay, might even have to give jean-francois' birthday bash a miss as well!!!!!!!
and f**king chem department decides to chuck us our major mid-semester exam IMMEDIATELY after easter
which means i'll be spending my easter break studying
FUCKITALLFUCKITALLFUCKITALL HATEFUL BAAAAHSTIDS!
if my life is like this NOW
then i'm truly dreading to think what next semester's going to be like
>>>
ok at least fellows' night was much more fun as compared to last semester
the seafood curry looked like greenish glop but being starved of asian food for a month probably desensitized our taste buds-- it tasted GOOOOOD i tell you. mmm. curry. CURRRRY.
some photos photos photos, the rest are in the album
libin.me.kelvin.bryan.miharu

me: ahpennnnng duuuuunnccchhh leaaaaveee meeeeee
ah peng: dont be so CLINGY you hear me, woman!

its official, tasmania has f**ked up weather
this morning when i woke up for class it was FREEEZING
dragged on THREE layers of clothing (v rare for me because i hate wearing manymany layers because i feel like a michellin woman or similar)
then after psych as we came out of the LT the sun came out from behind the clouds and it got a little warmer
and got progressively HOTTER AND HOTTER AND HOTTER as the morning progressed
by the time i got back to jane for lunch this mighty strong gusty wind started blowing
its the kind of wind that blows and blows and blows real hard and you cant walk straight
weird thing was the strong gusty wind was REALLY HOT as well, like the air that blows out from a fan heater
was perspiring a fair bit and had to peel off 2 layers of clothing (think SG temperatures minus the humidity)
then after lunch when i got back on the bus to get back to uni for zoo
the wind started getting stronger and hotter (!!!)
the sun was blazing in the sky and i was thankful to step into the relative coolness of the lecture theatre
BUT get this
when i came out of the LT about 5 mins later to pass something to a friend
i had the shock of my life
because the sky had suddenly turned DARK GREY and the wind was now blowing harder than before and it was no longer hot-- it was FREEEEZING again!
and then 3 seconds later it started raining heavily
now its about an hour since my lecture ended and i'm back at jane
had to make a mad dash up the slope in my heels through the rain and i was soaked
and about 20 mins after i got back to my room, showered etc
i open the windows and part the curtains and what do i see?!
BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN.
and HOT HOT WIND (ok i cant actually see that but i sure as hell can feel it).
i think this would be an appropriate time to say--
FREAK OF NATURE, man

Remember the first day, the first day we kissed?
Remember the first day we had an arguement?
We apologized, and then we compromised
And we haven't argued since
Remember the first day we stopped playing games?
Remember the first day you fell in love with me?
It felt so good for you to say those words
Cause I felt the same way too
The way we held each other’s hands
The way we talked, the way we laughed
It felt so good to fall in love
I knew right then and there you were the one
I know that he loves me ‘cause he told me so
I know that he loves me ‘cause his feelings show
And he’s missin’ me when he’s not kissin’ me
You see how he is so deep in love.
I know that he loves me ‘cause it’s obvious
I know that he loves me ‘cause it’s me he trusts
And when he stares at me, you see he cares for me
And when he looks at me, his brown eyes tell it so
I’m so happy, so happy that you’re in my life and baby
Now that you’re a part of me you’ve shown me
Shown me the true meaning of love
And I know he loves me
He looks at me and his brown eyes tell it so

It felt so good for you to say those words
Cause I felt the same way too
The way we held each other’s hands
The way we talked, the way we laughed
It felt so good to fall in love
I knew right then and there you were the one
I know that he loves me ‘cause he told me so
I know that he loves me ‘cause his feelings show
And he’s missin’ me when he’s not kissin’ me
You see how he is so deep in love.
I know that he loves me ‘cause it’s obvious
I know that he loves me ‘cause it’s me he trusts
And when he stares at me, you see he cares for me
And when he looks at me, his brown eyes tell it so
I’m so happy, so happy that you’re in my life and baby
Now that you’re a part of me you’ve shown me
Shown me the true meaning of love
And I know he loves me
He looks at me and his brown eyes tell it so

NEWSFLASH:
MY BELOVED ZHI JUST MIGHT BE FLYING DOWN UNDER TO VISIT AFTER HE POP'S IN JUNE!!!
-jumps around like a crazy bunny with huge grin plastered on face-
m'dearest darlingest mogu-- i abso-bloody-lutely cant wait! i'm SO excited already. I want you to pop NOW! (one must learn to be demanding and bitchy not unlike carson kressly haha)
-squeals with unbridled happiness-
Oh yes and thank you for your parcel! it is fandabidoubletripledozi and i lovesss it muchly.
now its back to my essay.
all i need is an introduction and an abstract and a good conclusion and then i'm DONE!
i think master yeo-da (aka milgar) was right--
work under pressure is usually more quality schtuff (Yeo, 2004) (arrgharrgharrgh psych referencing! it kills me, preciouuusss)
in 2 days i've re-written my whole essay and methinks its better the 2nd time round!
whoop.
p.s. if you havent watched The Office-- then what the heck are you waiting for! the brits are amazing like that-- take a simple concept, an el cheapo set, highly untelegenic actors (sheesh mackenzie crook is possibly britain's answer to dj quall euurgh), but BOOM! put them all together and they've created comedic genius. not slapschtick mindless potty humour (think tom green/jackass) mind you, its more of a subtle, sarcastic, deadpan vibe that comes across but its a good good good laugh nonetheless. watch it and support the BeeBeeCee and good british comedy today!
p.p.s. new clickety click added =)

i am SO f*cked.
my psych essay, all 1000+ words of it
has been BLOODYMOTHERF*CKING CORRUPTED by some F********ING VIRUS
think i'm angryfrustratedFUMINGMAD?!
one cannot even BEGIN to describe how i feel right now
-roars in fury-
that means i'll have to re-bloody-do the whole effing essay.
-insert hideously long string of expletives here-
in other news:
the pmt cocktail party last night was a blast
really good fun
cazz darlin' came back! and it was REALLY good seeing her i DO miss her at jane for sure
the little 'trio' of the chem/bot girls were reunited at last
and have i ever mentioned peach wine is DELISH?
i think my drinking skills are improving
half a bottle of peach wine (bridget is the best!), several goon shots (thanks to petie and bj who cornered me outside my room) and a few more cups of goon later, i was bright pink and moderately high but, get this--
NOT DRUNK.
shocking, isn't it
and i dont plan on getting drunk, this semester
or the next (and the next... and the next... you get the idea), for that matter
-looks pointedly at a certain someone-
bridge cazz me with bridget's tom and brakey in the background
i love these girlies!

a good representation of jane's intl' student contingent
me.sarah.mary.liz.yen
bj.me.peng (half of this photo was badly corrupetd by the effing virus, as were some others can you believe it! GRRR. thank goodness this one was still salvageable thanks to some nifty cropping)
(more photos you-know-where.
p.s. dont be fooled by the 'gaylove' series of pics-- ah peng was merely trying to demonstrate the techniques of convincing ah-hem, "act-kissing". methinks it looks rather real even though its TOTALLY not. take it from me, its been tried and tested. haha.)
salamanca market today was good
bought a pewter hippo for my dad
pretty pearly shell earrings for myself (FINALLY i've found a decent pair)
and handmade fudge (mmmm yummy! hazelnut choc, mudpie, mint choc, and berry swirl flavours)
went to woolies to pick up groceries and the chaps got distracted by the rows and rows of hair dye
and after a lengthy (and also rather unnecessary) 20 min discussion in the aisle
kelvin decided on a dark plum/red shade
the pengster picked a bleachy/hair lightener thingy and bryan decided to share that with him
so after tea tonight
libin and i were drafted in to be their Grooming Gurus (inspired by that dishy queer kyan haha) and we proceeded to do a massive dye session for them boys
it was VERY fun(ny), to say the least
things we learnt about boys tonight:
1) they can be VAIN. VERY, VERY, VERY VAIN. Vain-er than libin and myself put together. hurhurhur.
2) boys and hair products... don't go too well together. and all conditioning products should come with an instruction manual for the clueless male-- lest they get all confused and think that the conditioner should be left on the head when really, it should be rinsed off
3) have i mentioned that males can be very VAIN already? i have? riiight.
a selection of photos from the night:
a view from the back post-dyeing
posing w random white objects
ah peng's funky new 'do (proudly styled by yours truly)
libin's bloooody hands freak me out!
the grooming gurus of jane franklin hall
libin likes her meat raw and bloody. tasty!
(updates on current hair situation:
i am tres proud of my work because bryan's hair looks pretty cool at present! he looks like one of them ac swimmer types (not an ac bball boy anymore) now with the slightly browny hair + darkdark tan hahaha
kelvin's hair is a violent shade of red under direct sunlight, and a mild shade of dark plum under normal lighting conditions. libin is v proud of her work too, although kelvin keeps complaining that his entire scalp is stained red as well. pah. fussy child.
ah peng's hair is an uneven sorta dark blondy/brown, but it looks rather funky when he styles it and it might even be able to pass off as highlighted. FWAW. but he miiight need more convincing on that one though haha)
OK.
that was just a quick "FRUSTRATION RELIEF" entry
i find that when i get annoyed irritated angry the need to smash out some (non-uni work-related) words on the computer gets stronger and stronger
its rather theraputic for me, har har.
but enough crap
back to work now back to work
bloodyfu*king viruses
a curse on them all!
>>>
seeing these pictures just bring the huuuugest smile to my face
i LOVE this baby cutiepie!!!!! (haha sorry mogu darlin i'm not referring to u this time -sheepish grin-)
cheeky bitch chews on what's left of the newspaper
blink once and you're caught
looking at something... hmm
kookie is growing at an exponential rate she looks SO much bigger than when i last saw her
by the time i get back in june she'll be a huge massive thing!

i know i shouldn't be blogging
but i just have to say this
when shared with friends--
vodka kurant + sprite
hahn's premium light beer
asam laksa maggi mee (ohhh man oh man)
chicken in a biskit
salted peanuts
and oatmeal biccys
make for a very satisfying supper
sometimes its the simplest things in life that bring about the most profound sort of happiness and contentment
and i'm thankful that i can still appreciate that

i'm not sure how i got the grades i got with the amount of studying i did last semester
and by the looks of it i seem to be doing even less work this sem
too many activities going on-- be it whitewater rafting, badminton, and the musical society beckons
which of course, is not good at all
and the race to get into the honours program starts even now
so i think its time for me to get serious about uni
which means cutting down on things that aren't related to coursework
blogging being one of them
maybe when i've gotten all my shiaaate together
i'll update this
but dont hold your breath
so i reckon this is goodbye for now

Scheiße!
cant access webct
and thus i cant get my law tute done
feel compelled to do it even though i doubt i'll be wanting to continue on with the subject
sheesh i'm in for a shelling tmr morn
because my tutor is a grumpy old bast*d
-rawr-
Scheiße!!!
need. to. do. CHEM. PRELAB.
farrrk.
completely forgot about it and my prac's tmr
daaamn.
Scheiße!!!!!!
cant get past 406 words for the 1st part of my psych essay describing the neural bases of sleep
need at least 300+ more
why is this so difficult for me?!
its never been a problem before!
Scheiße!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just realised there'll be a zoo quiz on weds
and i havent attended >50% of the lectures
i am in a word, f*cked.
i REALLY should quit bumming around and start getting serious about uni dont you think
>>>
that's it
i officially HATE chem pracs now
accidentally spilled KHP crystals all over my lab manual
some git smacked into me while i was carrying my NaOH and as a result it splashed allllll over me
and then my hands were numb from the cold (today its cold) and i accidentally dropped my pasteur pipette-- glass ALL over the floor and disapproving stares from EVERYONE
and then some kaypoh effing idiot comes round, stares at my lab manual and tells me i've miscalculated something
and i check and i check and i check and i dont see anything wrong with it
so i ask my bench partner and she says i'm wrong as well
so i cancel out the WHOLE page and restart from scratch
only to realise, as my demonstrator pointed out to me when he walked past, that i was BLOODY CORRECT IN THE FIRST PLACE
GAH.
now my skin feels tingly and uncomfortable from the sodium hydroxide spillage
i've missed the bus
and the dastardly effing lab goggles have give me a mofo' headache
to top it all off i think i might not get back to jane in time for tea and i'm actually STARVING TODAY
-roooars in frustration-
>>>
OooOOoooH WAIT!
salvation is at hand i see jean-f. walking in my general direction free ride home here i come!

tis 20 past 3 in the morn and i still can't sleep
maybe its because someone's having the time of his life in kl and he's making this particular girl very very very envious indeed hahaha
or maybe its because she misses you like a crazyloonytune which come to think of it, is quite normal actually because she already is a crazyloonytune (at times) and also misses you ALL the time
so here's a song from the insomniac bunny to the lucky mushroom holiday-ing in kl (even though you wont actually be able to see this till monday!!!)
======
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star that somewhere you are
thinking of me too
Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
than here in my room dreaming about you and me
Corazon
No puedo dejar de pensar en ti
Como te necesito
Mi amor, como te extrano
(Sweetheart
I can't stop thinking of you
How I need you
My love, how I miss you)
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe
that you came up to me and said I love you
I love you too
Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
than here in my room
Dreaming with you endlessly

jingyan and eewah came by to visit today
are they, or arent they, together?
if they are-- well!
they make the CUTEST couple i tell yer.
seeing them again made me realise how much i actually do miss the old bunch at jane
but ah well
things change
people move on (or out/away, in this case)
and i reckon i should too
i've come to realise there are so many things i'm still holding on to
things that were once a part of my life but aren't any longer
memories of the people, the places, the good (and bad) times-- i will always hold dear to me
but there are phases of my life which are well and truly over
and i think i've finally come to accept that
and by accepting it i think i'm actually at peace with a lot more things (and situations) now
ya'll will ALWAYS and ALWAYS be SO dear to me
but i think the chances of our 'posse' ever being together again are slimmer than an anorexic kate moss
we're already scattered around the world
and we've sorta got our lives all planned out, somewhat
and its all so very different for each and every one of us!
from doctors to lawyers to engineers to economists to nurses to advertising media-types to psychologists to computer analysts to anthropologists to linguists (who else did i miss out? haha)
but being apart doesnt mean the fantabulous friendship ends there too
and know that where ever you lot may be
i'll always be thinking of you fondly
so here's a toast to my most precious friends
thank you for the many years of wonderful friendship we've shared and here's to many many many more years of friendship for the future
all the best to those of you who'll be moving on to nicer weather + better food (haha) in california, germany, china, sweden, new york, switzerland, japan and south africa
you guys and girls are absolutely the most fandabidozi people on earth and knowing every single one of you has been such an amazing journey
-huge hugs-

i'm particularly glad that i actually went for my chemistry lecture today
because my lecturer is such a cracker!
he spent about a quarter of the lecture performing marvelous experiments involving liquid nitrogen and a host of other things including roses, bananas, eggs, squash and table tennis balls, weet-bix and shampoo! (go figure)
needless to say it was highly entertaining, amusing, and MESSY
which made for one of the most interesting lectures i've ever attended
and i like the way how they really explain how things work to you
how the emphasis is on UNDERSTANDING the concepts instead of memorizing it
i reckon even though i missed out on the badminton session, i dont at all regret going for this lecture!
but on to the more important stuff for today
i've never claimed to be a particularly devout, strong-in-the-faith christian
and even though i noticed several discrepancies between the movie and the Bible
never has a movie made such a huge impact on me
y'know how as children, you grow up reading abt how Christ died on the cross for us
and how you can memorize every incident leading up to the crucifiction
and even though you KNOW its a horrible, horrible, horrible cruel method of executing someone
the whole horror of it never really ever did sink in
how much Christ SUFFERED for us -- not just the excruciating physical agony but the incredible emotional pain He must have gone through as well
and even though The Passion may have its many detractors
i think its a tremendously powerful wake-up call for a lot of people out there (myself included)
i can honestly say i've never cried so much in any movie ever before (life is beautiful doesnt even come close anymore!)
it really broke my heart watching the movie
bryan libin kelvin and peng were more grossed out by the graphic bloody scenes
and after the movie they were all still able to joke (a little) and grin
but i was really surprised to see a very quiet ping en, who's usually so voluble
and after a little conversation i realised that he was really touched by the movie as well
this rugged manly 'bo chup' fella with all the bigbig muscles actually cried as well watching it!
and how when i kinda broke down outside the cinema theatre because i was so moved by the show he actually went off to a corner muttering "shit don't cry you're going to make me cry again"
yeah so i think this show really affected us quite a bit
(Jesus said...) You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
(Mt 5.43-48)
because sometimes i can be such a bitch, especially in recent weeks
i'm SO surly to people at times that i feel like kicking myself
so i'm going to resolve to be a nicer person from now on
and not be all grumpy and nasty to people even if they annoy me
or worse still, taking out my irritation/frustration on innocent people who havent done jackshite to me
its SOOOOO not going to be easy for someone like meself (HAHA) but i think maybe now's a good time to start taking baby, baby steps and start getting my act together
don't get me wrong here-- i'm not going to suddenly start acting all holy and pious and the likes because that would be just SO artificial and put-on
but there are aspects of my life that need to be changed, that should have been changed ages ago
and i'm going to at least make the effort to make those changes
because that sorta lifestyle isn't a v good reflection of my faith at ALL
but like i said!
baby steps, baby steps
to the friends out there whom i know are going through rough times spiritually
please go and watch the show
it definitely helps to put things in perspective
and this is coming from ME (of all people!!!!) so you'd better believe it (haha)
p.s. miewlee! that satan actress woman really DOES look like billy howerdel mah goodness!
because my lecturer is such a cracker!
he spent about a quarter of the lecture performing marvelous experiments involving liquid nitrogen and a host of other things including roses, bananas, eggs, squash and table tennis balls, weet-bix and shampoo! (go figure)
needless to say it was highly entertaining, amusing, and MESSY
which made for one of the most interesting lectures i've ever attended
and i like the way how they really explain how things work to you
how the emphasis is on UNDERSTANDING the concepts instead of memorizing it
i reckon even though i missed out on the badminton session, i dont at all regret going for this lecture!
but on to the more important stuff for today
i've never claimed to be a particularly devout, strong-in-the-faith christian
and even though i noticed several discrepancies between the movie and the Bible
never has a movie made such a huge impact on me
y'know how as children, you grow up reading abt how Christ died on the cross for us
and how you can memorize every incident leading up to the crucifiction
and even though you KNOW its a horrible, horrible, horrible cruel method of executing someone
the whole horror of it never really ever did sink in
how much Christ SUFFERED for us -- not just the excruciating physical agony but the incredible emotional pain He must have gone through as well
and even though The Passion may have its many detractors
i think its a tremendously powerful wake-up call for a lot of people out there (myself included)
i can honestly say i've never cried so much in any movie ever before (life is beautiful doesnt even come close anymore!)
it really broke my heart watching the movie
bryan libin kelvin and peng were more grossed out by the graphic bloody scenes
and after the movie they were all still able to joke (a little) and grin
but i was really surprised to see a very quiet ping en, who's usually so voluble
and after a little conversation i realised that he was really touched by the movie as well
this rugged manly 'bo chup' fella with all the bigbig muscles actually cried as well watching it!
and how when i kinda broke down outside the cinema theatre because i was so moved by the show he actually went off to a corner muttering "shit don't cry you're going to make me cry again"
yeah so i think this show really affected us quite a bit
(Jesus said...) You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
(Mt 5.43-48)
because sometimes i can be such a bitch, especially in recent weeks
i'm SO surly to people at times that i feel like kicking myself
so i'm going to resolve to be a nicer person from now on
and not be all grumpy and nasty to people even if they annoy me
or worse still, taking out my irritation/frustration on innocent people who havent done jackshite to me
its SOOOOO not going to be easy for someone like meself (HAHA) but i think maybe now's a good time to start taking baby, baby steps and start getting my act together
don't get me wrong here-- i'm not going to suddenly start acting all holy and pious and the likes because that would be just SO artificial and put-on
but there are aspects of my life that need to be changed, that should have been changed ages ago
and i'm going to at least make the effort to make those changes
because that sorta lifestyle isn't a v good reflection of my faith at ALL
but like i said!
baby steps, baby steps
to the friends out there whom i know are going through rough times spiritually
please go and watch the show
it definitely helps to put things in perspective
and this is coming from ME (of all people!!!!) so you'd better believe it (haha)
p.s. miewlee! that satan actress woman really DOES look like billy howerdel mah goodness!

we didn't get drunk at the UniBar tonight but nonetheless there was an abundance of overshared information
overshare-incident #1:
someone has willingly (!!!) tasted his own piss, on more than one occasion, and he did that because he was BORED. omg. wtf!
overshare-incident #2:
how someone doesn't like to wear his underwear, and then this long discussion abt how well underwear/boxers/pants can hide erm, well, there's no way to put this delicately, erections and shite like that.
overshare-incident #3:
going into someone's room and seeing a his SUPREMELY (male version of) SKANKY UNDERWEAR on his bed-- frreaaaak of nature! and then he tried to model it for us but we were screaming too much with laughter and horror and disgust and disbelief at the sight of the underwear
overshare-incident #4:
what people do in the loos whilst doing a poo. gee whiz.
and if laughing increases your lifespan i think i might live to a billion years old after tonight
today's zoo lecture/lab has been a glorious affirmation as to why we should NEVER, EVER EAT ANYTHING RAW. sashimi, rare beef, the works EUUURRGH! thank goodness i've never liked raw food-- and after today i'm not even going to touch raw food with anything less than a 10 foot long barge pole.
rare beef, anyone?
would you like some blood flukes or tapeworms with that?
mmmm yummms.
-gags-
incidentally d'you know how people in medieval times used to attempt to remove tapeworms? they waited for the tapeworm to protrude through their bums, then a stick was used to wrap the tapeworm around it-- and they could do this for ages till the tapeworm finally broke and they thought they were rid of it! but ooooh boy were they so wrong. tapeworms can grow to over 6 metres in length, all happily eating and sucking and leeching off your gut system now isn't that fun! and sometimes when you poo lengths of its body comes out as well and you can try pulling it and wrapping it around a stick like those medieval folkies did but that aint gonna get rid of the nasty bugger oh NO it aint! GAWD its disgusting. i can't emphasize this enough-- DO NOT EAT RAW MEAT!
>>>
oh and if all goes well-- ie: i don't chicken out
by this time next week i'll either have a UV tattoo (yes i forgot to mention the UV just now, oops my bad), my navel pierced or maybe my tongue pierced. c'mon tamsyn i neeeed your connections!
>>>
another thing
someone recommend me a GOOD diet
i've tried everything from starving myself, to no-carbo/no-protein/no-fat and still i cant seem to shed the pounds
i thought i did v well today (ie: no breakfast n minimal lunch) till it came to dinner
i wasnt actually hungry but i lost all my self control after one look at the dessert-- caramel crunch swirl ice cream and choc chip pudding with warm custard
4 scoops of ice cream and a huge portion of pudding (with very, very liberal amts of custard) later i was beyond stuffed
WHERE IS MY SELF CONTROL!
tomorrow i'm going to RUN to the waterworks and possibly do some rock climbing
and then on sat we're going rafting again (i think)
LOTS of exercise
and with a proper diet
the blubber should disappear soon
PLEASE disappear soon!

darling zhi woke me up at 6+am and boy what a nice voice to wake up to it was!
thankew soooo much for calling baby i cant think of a BETTER alarm clock in the entire universe, for sure =)
rolled outta bed after talking to him for quite a bit and rushed down to the dining hall for brekkie by 7am
libin and bryan were already there eating and so we ate and then packed lunch, by which it was already 7.45am and still no sign of peng and kelvin so bryan dashed to their rooms to wake em up
called for a 5-seater taxi to take us down to uni in the hopes that we could reach there by 8am but unfortch we waited almost 30mins for a cab and still it didnt appear so we called for 2 normal seater cabs instead
reached uni at nearly 8.30am and our rafting guide was quite peeved
travelled all the way to geeveston, then onwards to picton river, about one and three quarters of an hour away from hobart, with a few stops along the way
and then the real fun began when we dragged on our wetsuits, rafting gear, inflated the rafts, and got into the rafts and started paddling!
of course before that we all just had to jump into the freezing cold water to get used to it before everything started
well i was actually tossed into the water by bryan and kelvin as they grabbed my arms and legs and basically threw me off the mini cliff like a sack of cement and OH MY GAAAWD the water was FREEEEEEEEZING
it was all in good fun but those guys had better watch it the next few days
rafting involved A HELLLLOTTA PADDLING (duh) over rapids, EVEN MORE WATER FIGHTS where rafts were overturned and people were dragged into the frigid cold river
had our packed lunch by a rocky plain just after the 'gorge' rapids
and of course more craziness ensued with us jumping into the smaller rapids and letting the current wash us downstream
it was SOOOOOO much FUN!
we finally got to the end of the rafting course at around 5pm so that means about (at LEAST) 6 hours of paddling through rapids and rocks and water and even we even paddled under a mini cave
SO many other funny things happened today but i'm just too knackered to type it all out
suffice to say it was all very hilarious!
i'm DYING right now the arms are giving way but oh it was SO worthwhile
i reckon this has been the BEST fun i've EVER had in tassie so far!
(photos'll be up when i'm a little more alive)
here are a selection of photos from today
too bad we couldnt bring our cams on the river (meaning all the BEST action wasn't captured)
and the rest of the photos are all in the usual place!

i have come to the conclusion that i'm hopelessly, absolutely, useless when it comes to following the rules i've set down for myself
take this week for example
exactly one week ago i vowed to go for allllll my classes
it started off all right with me attending everything on monday, tuesday and then when it came to weds...
i missed my 9am lecture and went straight for class at 12noon-- 6pm
then thursday was also bad because i woke up and felt really woozy/ill
so i decided to skip all my classes and stay in to rest so i could go for all my classes on friday
however come friday-- the alarm rang at 8am and i whanged my hand down on what i thought was the snooze button
but when i next opened my eyes i realised it was ALREADY 9-bloody-am and my lecture was just about starting
so that was one lesson i missed
then i went down to uni for the white-water rafting briefing at 1pm thinking oh that's goodly timing i'll be done just in time for chem at 2!
met up with the med students who were asking me what lesson i had next, etc etc
and a few of the sgeans were looking through my chem nots and they went "WHY ARE YOU GOING FOR THIS ITS WHAT YOU'VE LEARNT DURING 'A's ALREADY!"-- which is very true
so after the briefing libin and i headed out to shop and i basically missed my 2nd (and last) lecture for the day
BLAAAH!
sometimes i disgust myself with my marvellous ability to bum around so much
when i should be at uni
i'm snoozing under my comfy sheets
when i should be doing my prelabs or readings for my essays
i'm watching episodes of friends, sex and the city or queer eye (i LOVE queer eye. and methinks kyan is quite cool and rather attractive, for a gay chappie. carson is a blitheringly annoying idiot though)
yesterday was a pretty good saturday
got up real late after the clubbing on friday
was raining the whole day so salamanca + shopping was cancelled
however we DID get to watch more of the dvds we borrowed in bryan's room
bicentennial man and reservoir dogs and we enjoyed both thoroughly
afterwhich it was time for dinner and we (libin, diane, yet another new med student joy, myself, bryan and kai) actually sat in the dining hall for over 5 hours talking!
were forced to leave when the RF came to lock the place up
then kai diane joy and myself went round visiting each other's rooms and well i'm quite appreciative of my room now
if you took away the rowdy boys (but then again they're quite nice when they're not being rowdy) on my floor i think i would be absolutely satisfied with it!
met sully in the hallway-- incidentally he is now my tutor for chem and so i pleaded with him to let me off for tutes and then i realised my name wasn't even on his list hohum.
had a bit of a chat with him and it was quite amusing because he was rather drunk after 11 cans of beer but he's not the crazyassedmadloony sorta drunk-- its more of the thought processes are going more slowly kinda drunk
then peng called at around 2345hrs asking me to go to bridie's for drinks and even though i wasnt too keen at 1st i just had to go when him and bryan came over to my room in an attempt to drag me along
so we left at 12mn, walked to bridie's and found it closed!
and because we absolutely refused to go back to jane we decided why not walk a little more to surreal?
so that's exactly what the 7 of us (libin me bryan ahpeng kelvin dorjee jasp) did
and we danced till dawn
or at least till when surreal closed at 4am
now its sunday and i'm trying desperately to get some work done before dinner
psych essay titled "describe the neural bases of sleep and discuss the effects both total and partial sleep deprivation have on human beings" is quite the killer
not quite sure where to start
the good thing is that its due on the 29th so i still have quite a bit of time to do it
but knowing me, its either start now, or never
so i reckon i should be doing my research right this instant instead of typing away here
and i'm off with the faeries
>>>
ok i've read one lengthy lengthy journal article and i realised i wanted to write just a little bit more
to my one and only darlingest:
its been the 2 longest weeks of my life, not having you in it
but i reckon we've been doing very well so far
thank you for your calls, every single one of them, even those at 4am which i sometimes don't remember the next day hahahaha
for the emails
the (not-so) daily photos that never fail to put a huuuuge grin on my face
even though some days we dont really get the chance to talk or email each other
or at other times where i might seem a little preoccupied with other things
you are still the most important thing in the worrrld to me and i hope you know that you are being lovingly thought of by 'your wifey' (heh) during her waking (and sleeping, even) hours
i'm glad that we're both really mature and sensible about things, and that we're hardly ever possessive at all and that we respect each other's freedom
and most importantly-- we trust each other (do you? haha i think you do right?) and that, to me, is the mark of a stable relationship
knowing that we love each other enough not to do foolish things that we might regret-- the last thing on earth i'd ever want to do is to hurt you in any way
its been all smooth sailing so far and i'm sure that's the way its gonna continue to be because really i think i'm the luckiest girl on earth to have someone as wuuuuunderfuuuul as you
you're good, you!
and i'm sure these few months will whizz by in a FLASH and soon we'll be seeing each other again, in the flesh!
loveya -MWAAAH-

oh man that was some serious pmt i had going on there (couldnt stand the sight of that post so its been deleted into oblivion)
and to think i never thought i ever suffered from that
sheeesh!
its all much better now thank goodness
and its really been much better today
rafting briefing at uni (quite excited about it now and after paying $40 i cant back out obviously), some much needed retail therapy, went out for dinner, dvd watching on the spankin' new spiffy flat screen plasma teevee, and now i'm waiting for the girls (and some of the boys) to pretty themselves up before heading out to isobar and thank GAWD they're coming over to pick me up it is COOOLD out and the thought of having to walk all the way down to the wharf is not a pleasant one!
then there's salamanca tomorrow morning, more retail therapy after that (though its actually more like running errands actually) and more dvd watching and p'raps i might run to the waterworks with j.f. tamNrobbo (buy 1 get 1 free-- tamsyn ALWAYS comes with robbo haha what a cute couple they are) tomorrow for some much needed exercise

we're going white-water rafting on monday
hurraaah!
and because monday is a bank holiday
i get to miss my dastardly chem prac
and law tute
also because of that lurrrvely holiday on monday--
my psych prac on tuesday's been cancelled (scheduling problems or summat for those who've missed pracs on mondays so they'll be a week behind everyone)
which means i wont have very many classes to attend next week
-jumps around-
unfortunately now, i am a very confused young lady
i have decisions to make
and i need to make them soon
psych, or law, psych, or law
its gotten to the extent that i'm even dreaming about the 2 choices at night
and that is NOT a good sign indeed
WHY am i so indecisive
its been one semester already and STILL i cant decide
i truly envy those who know what they want to do with their lives
you guys have it good

i honestly didnt have anything i wanted to blog about today
UNTIL I WATCHED RUN LOLA RUN
The bit just after lola's shot by the fuckernehneh of a policeman-- the conversation she has with her boyfriend manni in bed (the red scene) made me SIT UP REAL STRAIGHT
lola: manny do you love me?
manni: yeah, sure
l: how can you be so sure
m: dunno, i just am
l: i could be just another girl
m: nuh-uh (shakes head)
l: why not?
m: because you're the best!
l: the best what?
m: well, the best girl
l: out of all the girls in the world?
m: yeah, sure
l: how can you know that
m: i just do, tha's all
l: you think you do
m: ok i think i do
l: see you're not quite sure
m: are you having me on?!
-pause-
l: and what if you'd never met me?
m: what d'you mean by that?
l: you'd be saying the same thing to another girl (eeeeks! thats never a nice thought. hhaha)
and it goes on and on and i can't quite be bothered to type it all out bleh
FREAKY DEAKY coincidence (not the whole thing though, just bits of it), innit, that i'm watching that right after our conversation this afternoon
hahaha.
don't read anything into it though-- i merely thought it was a rather amusing coincidence, is all
nothing else!
and there's supposed to be an initiation session tonight (or tmr morn at 4am, if you're into specifics and things like that)
bloody hell how is one supposed to go for classes from 9-6 after that huh.
i'll need an effing miracle to get me to all my classes tmr, thats what
UNTIL I WATCHED RUN LOLA RUN
The bit just after lola's shot by the fuckernehneh of a policeman-- the conversation she has with her boyfriend manni in bed (the red scene) made me SIT UP REAL STRAIGHT
lola: manny do you love me?
manni: yeah, sure
l: how can you be so sure
m: dunno, i just am
l: i could be just another girl
m: nuh-uh (shakes head)
l: why not?
m: because you're the best!
l: the best what?
m: well, the best girl
l: out of all the girls in the world?
m: yeah, sure

this week's off to a good start!
i made it through the horrors of monday with nary a complaint
had a great time catching up with joanna today before our prac
made friends with the girl next to me and the blokey opposite me in prac class which is a marked improvement over the unfriendly people i had to sit with last semester
and then bridie's tonight was a blast!
the live band was in a word-- fandabidozi
and the dancing was pretty good too
funny moments of the night:
aj running around dancing in his typical drama-mama style
swee peng's michael jackson impersonations "BEAT IT!!! BEAT IT!!!!" wahahhahahahahahhahahahahahah
when a very drunk patrick came round and started hugging and attempting to kiss and lick all of us haha what a silly angmoh goondu
me.bryan.ah peng.kwan.libin
lotsa laughs
all i need to do is wake up for my 9am psych lecture tomorrow, and i'll be really proud of myself
hurhur
judging by the looks of things methinks bryan won't be joining me at psych tmr though
