[Akon | I Can't Wait]
Ah, 17 days down the road…and Im not sure what to say. A lot of things have happened of course, but they really have no reason to be mentioned. Those who’ve talked to me the last 2 weeks would already know of my daily happenings.
I have a week off..when my friends that don’t go to Insearch start their 2nd semester :p
Oh and I bumped into Natalie Parker at Paddy’s today. Lol! I was walking, and she was with her friend Morgan, just about to turn around when I walked past her. I immediately recognised her and turned around and poked her on the shoulder. She turned around and said “What the hell!? What are you doing here!?” XD Just a little random chatter and then we went our separate ways. I should bother her sometime, but I have the feeling it’ll be something like we randomly see each other, and that would be the end of that haha.
And I should really start sleeping normally, cause oversleeping is starting to bug me out. I had a very nice phone call with my grandma today, although she’s getting more senile now. I’ve developed the patience with her but waiting 5 months is a long time to see her, considering that 5 months is a long time to wait for an elderly woman. So I will write her letters once a month and call her every week just to spend as much time as I can with her, because I couldnt spend all that much time with her the last 2 weeks I was back. That’s it for now. There’s other things I’d update on, cept I kind of need to clarify something so it’ll be noted sometime soonish. Later xx
Just like that
[4 Strings | Summer Sun]
There was this very odd ad in Greater Union. I couldn’t help but going “LOL.” I tried finding it but alas, forgot the name of the company. We’ll leave it at that.
So what has little me been up to the last 10 days?
ASSIGNMENTS. We deserve to kill them, or rather Insearch for making us hand in an assignment for every subject next week..when it’s World Youth Day week. There will be about 150 000 more visitors and guess what? Most of the events are being held in the city. So that means I’ll be in urban hell next week \o/
Ive decided to stay over at A. Julie’s next friday to beat one of the mass city days. I would need to come back somehow the next day because I don’t wanna be bringing all my uni work to Hurstville and back again. Plus, getting back on Sunday would be extremely difficult for me.
I got $80 today. Why? I helped out in a focus group to help pick out the new web layout for Insearch’s website. It was most fun, and we’ve been asked if we want to help with videos for the new website. Very well done Shaz, it means that that only sets me back $20 from this week when I had to pay my excess phone bill in Malaysia, resulting in RM314.50 or rather $100. All is good, so I don’t feel like Im broke, when I really know that tomorrow at the party, I will be so not clubbing. Ill just beg MC to take us home haha.
I’ve done most of my assignments, I just have to finish management and study for my tests. I’ll be able to study for accounting tomorrow morning and afternoon before going over to the Kavanagh’s. And then I’ll be back sunday afternoon and do more work yay. I get to sleep in tonight too, excellent. That’s all for now, xx.
Got Me Going
[Frankie J ft. Chamillionaire & Mannie Fresh | That Girl]
WOAH. So usually I post in 2 weeks but 17 days!? Wow, I’ve been busy haha.
Well, i have to be honest. While people are out there enjoying their break and sleeping late, Im sleeping late but having uni. Im just about to finish my 3rd week of uni and Ive been all over the place. Let’s talk about uni first, I have class tests around the place which isnt that bad, but I have like 3-4 assignments due in week 5 so Ive started working on them. I know what I need to do now so its not bad ^_^
I’ve also been enjoying life with my friends and Chris. He lives out all the way at Parramatta and works at Castle Hill, still its too far out for me, but last thursday, I suprised him by going all the way there to see him. The funny thing with the two of us is that we miss each other too much. He’s working on some days weekdays and weekends, and I have uni so we only see each other once a week, twice if we’re lucky. I was going to see him the next day but I thought it’d be fun to see what it was like out there.
I went over there with Tim. It was nice to just see the sights, have fun and go shopping XD Tim’s a wicked driver but I feel safe with him. We checked out Westfield Parramatta then went over to Castle Towers. The funny thing man, I just kept texting Chris like it was a normal day away from one another, and then he met up with Tim. I ran off just to look around and come up to them. Saw them walking towards his workplace
in the floor above and I like bolted in the other direction lol. I looked so suss! XD Saw them going down and they sat outside and I just walked by…Chris had the shortest amount of suprise before he looked like he didn’t care, but I reckon it was all just to look cool, seeing as I got him to tell me what was going on in his head *wins* It was only 20 minutes but I was happy to see him. I went home after that satisfied.
Chris came over at 11.30 the next morning. We basically just hung around together, watched Get Smart (which was pretty random but sweet!), ate dinner and enjoyed each other’s company.
Woke up the next day to watch Kung Fu Panda cause I really wanted to watch it (we voted the night before on heads or tails) and it was great. Totally loved this! If you haven’t see it, go go go! After that, went over to Circular Quay cause we were meeting with people to go to Luna Park. LOL! I was sick. But the first ride they went up on, I didnt wanna go. I hate rides like that (the ones that go 360 degrees). Brian grabbed my arm and tried to drag me on the ride but I just screamed “Sexual Harassment!” a few times, getting louder until he let me go XD
Not many rides but it was still a good night out. After a great day there, we went over to Pancakes to have dinner. Haha, it was a good night. Shayne skulled a cup of maple syrup ewww. We said our goodbyes after that and Chris took me home. I was supposed to go meet a group of other friends so I didnt really have time to kill at home, but he made it hard for me to leave haha. He walked me to Railway Square and then I said goodbye to him. Met up with Tom K., a friend from Melbourne. He was at a house party with Trina and everything. It was a night where I barely slept haha, and it got a little wild boo. We’ll leave it at that.
Sunday got home like at 10.30am then I had to rush with my homework because I had to go stay over at my Guardian’s. A quiet night in but it was worth it. I had a waterworks display that night though, because of the meds that I’m on XD Ah well, monday was a hectic one, just trying to survive the day nursing a lack of sleep. I managed to get back 8 hours the night after but that was just bad. Tuesday was more manageable, it’s when I started doing my assignments and look where I am now.
Today was a pretty good day, I find that Im really enjoying finance, although I stuffed up my assignment haha. Ah well. Accounting group work is pretty good, we got together and we really got the ball rolling so I’m proud. Just watched State of Origin and it was a really close game. I found it a little funny. Why? Because I never watch rugby but I am now, but also cause Im supporting NSW but at the same time am torn in the middle. Why? Because best friend Chris is Queensland and boyfriend Chris is NSW :p
Alrighty, so tomorrow I have an early start, and also a Marketing Quiz I need to be ready for o: I’m meeting up with Ew-Jun to do a little shopping and Im out to buy these sweet Nike Court Forces for $115 (save $45) at QVB. They better still have it, or rather my size XD I won’t see Chris till Friday boo, but he’s coming earlier this time around. That night, I’ll also be taking Ew-Jun out for a clubbing night out yay. Should be fun, we’ll make it fun haha. Jian Hau, Ray and Ai Lin are coming to Sydney on saturday so I’m guessing we’ll be hitting the clubs at night again. I’m going to be so broke this week! Haha, anyway, I should really go to bed now. Hope you enjoyed the long post haha. Cheers xx
Hustle
[Colby O'Donis ft. Akon | What You Got]
Yeah, so much for telling my results. Just to burst my bubble once again, I didn’t get in. Missed it by 5 marks. Ah well, I tried my hardest and fell through. Least I have some of my friends around but I know Im cut up about it. I can just move forward and do my best now but I was really looking forward to it. Ah well.
Excuse my horrible timing, but I just don’t feel like blogging much lmao. I just thought a little update was necessary. Back to winter weather and Im coping pretty well. Uni starts back tomorrow, the only consolation is that I practically get a 4-day weekend, from Thursday 1pm to Monday 11am. Pretty good hey?
Got back from KL on Tuesday night, spent Wednesday at the Kavanagh’s. Thursday was re-enrolment and I went to watch ‘What Happens in Vegas’ with Tim. Friday went out with Tim again to get some lecture notes then met up with Chris and some of his friends at Glasshouse for pool. It was a very funny pool game, especially when you play with a group of guys who’re only interested in “out-gaying” each other XD You heard right, while we’re playing they’re saying things like “I like how you’re handling that stick” and running hands up thighs. Not mine obviously :p
They left and we met up with Nathan and Berry to go to Maloney’s for more pool games. Shot a few good shots haha. Saturday and Sunday was pretty much low key, just spending time at home and bumming. Maybe things will pick up once Uni starts again and I get into the hang of things. That’s all for now xx
P.S: Happy Sweet Sixteen to my lovely sister Dina and Happy Father’s Day to Ayah ^.^
Whooptidoo
[The Ting Tings | That's Not My Name]
13 days, and here I thought that I hadn’t blogged for longer than that. Still don’t have my laptop back boo and I cant get it till Thursday anyway cause mum and A. Julie went up to Ipoh to see a close friend.
You know that party I had friday? The one after semester? It was good. Accounting exam didnt go as well as I hoped but I didnt know what to do so at least I attempted it. I know Im not repeating the subject but I’m unsure of what my average will be. I just gotta wait till results come out on thursday and hope for the best. Turned out less people came to my house. Like there were only 7 of us and only 5 of us went to the club but it was still a great night. The girls looked pretty good in their outfits haha. Pictures up on facebook.
Just bits and pieces cause it’s just me briefly remembering events haha. Got some sweet videos of A. Julie’s reunion with her family and my mum. Haha, it was beautiful. Like my mum’s reaction at the airport. A. Julie was hiding at the cafe near Arrivals and mum came to greet me. I hugged her and held her by the shoulders and said “Mama, I have a suprise for you”. Then A. Julie came up behind her and my mum turned around and screamed so loudly people were staring at us haha.
I must be ranking a high bill cause even if we’re away from each other, we’ve been talking on the phone everyday and texting heaps. It’s weird, the way we just talk about random things but we’re still missing each other XD Ive only be spending time at home with my family. Everyone’s busy with uni or working or still in Aus or elsewhere so I haven’t had people to hang with. Dina’s got school and it’s a bit hard for me to get to Nurie. Tomorrow, I think I’m gonna head to Megamall by myself in the afternoon just to have a look see and see what stuff I wanna get. Weekend I’ll go to Sungei Wang with Dina. That’s it for now, I’ll keep writing on thursday when my laptop gets back and when my results come out. Ta xx
P.S: I’m quite fascinated by the Ting Tings. An Indie Pop band, but Im in love with two of their singles: That’s Not My Name and Great DJ. I didnt realise the chick Katie was in the band TKO but now come to think of it, her sound sounds familiar. Def check out those two songs if you haven’t already 
Killing It
[Sneaky Sound System | Tease Me]
So it’s nearly been ten days..I’ve had problems. One, my laptop crashed today <_< It’s been having problems for a while now, like not letting me get onto wordpress, or facebook, or even google for that matter. Some websites worked like hotmail but I couldn’t do blogging at all. So finally, its given out and now won’t even get onto Windows. Im thankful enough to have the guest computer to use.
I’ve also been studying for my exams. Two down, one more to go. Im suprised how well I did Statistics today. I was dreading this exam cause Im failing statistics by 1%. My thoughts on having to retake this subject as well as not getting into the commerce diploma fell hard on me but right now, I think I’ll definitely pass this subject. Statistics made sense to me recently and I just worked at remembering the lectures and the review exercise. I looked at the paper during the reading time and I was laughing. I thought I could do this. Finished it in 2 hours. There were some questions where I didnt know how to answer them but I tried anyway. I think I’ll get a good mark for it and definitely pass. Now to hope for the best that I did really well in my other subjects. There’s only accounting left to do and Im pretty good at that so I have faith. Just need to finish off my notes and do practice questions.
Im having the end of semester predrinks thing at my place and I’ve got like 11 people coming over lol. That would be pretty interesting in my place. I leave for KL on tuesday so I actually should start packing…I’ll do a bit of that tomorrow cause I have a free day. Besides that, life is good. Ive been practising my pool skills and Im happy to say I’m improving haha. Things are going good with Chris too. It’s almost two weeks now, how odd haha. Anyway, I just remembered I have to get my sister’s pressie before I leave boo haha. Better do that tomorrow since I’m free. That’s all for now, I’ll be sure to add a few more things before I head off to KL. Later xx
Mysterious Ways
[Alicia Keys | No One]
You know, normally me not blogging for two weeks means that there’s nothing to write about or life is just too busy for me doing things so I don’t have time to blog, but I’m pretty sure there have been a fair bit of things happening…so here goes.
I vaguely remember the first few days after my last post. I remember going out that friday 2nd, to Tank with a few friends. I am in love with RnB Superclub. The music’s pretty sweet and I had a great time that night, with Vik, Priya and Trina. I know I got home pretty lateish and then the next day was gonna be a busy day for me. Woke up around 9.15 and rushed out of the house because I was meeting Rae for brekkie. She only moved to the city that week so I thought it’d be good to have someone I can hang out with in the city. We caught up on a few things while having brekkie at Pancakes on the Rocks..at Darling Harbour haha. I find that totally funny, cause people always get confused XD
There was that Exposure photo event saturday the 3rd. My dear, that was like one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. Pictures can be seen on my DA I should probably mention the significance of that day. That was the day I met some really cool people, but also someone that I’ve fallen for. Sounds funny, doesn’t it? You know how sometimes you can come across someone walking down the street, on the train and find them good looking, but you know that you wouldn’t go up to them and talk to them? That was what happened when I met Chris L. (know too many Chris’ hey? XD). I noticed him when the group met up at UTS but that was all that was. I didn’t talk to him at all during the shoot. Iwas just hanging with Kenneth and his friend Jessie then I went off and did my own thing. I hung out with Chris after that when a group of people were going to Broadway to watch Iron Man and have dinner. Met some really great people, who helped me feel really confident, and did some mad DDR in Intencity. I noticed something that day, I felt really random but I was really being myself, which was different as opposed to when I first went to Insearch, where I felt like totally newbie.
He added me on facebook and we just started talking there and on msn. Found it heaps easy to talk to him, and we talked about just about anything. Eventually took his number and just texted him. Besides assignments I had to deal with, I’d hang out once in a while with him. Tuesday met up just to hang out for a bit. Hung out a fair bit with Priya and Vic. Wednesday had lunch with Chris and Berry, another guy I met on Saturday. It was good~ Met up with them again after ACAD and we played pool at Maloney’s. I won two games And you know what was funny? The first game against Chris, I did 5 trick shots XD Berry helped me a bit before and I did a trick shot with the 8 ball when it hit the edge of the left centre hole and went in the right centre one XD After that, said bye to Chris and went with Berry to meet with Annie at Kings’ Wharf, cause it was the opening for World Press Photo 08′. Drank champagne even though I didnt eat anything so walking back to Chinatown for dinner was funny XD
Was talking about things with Berry and I found it mad how easy it was to talk to him. He’s like 9 years older so it was appreciative. I found it really weird how easy it was to talk to Chris too, and Berry said that we had chemistry. He talked to me Wednesday night but apparently he told Chris this after both of them dropped me home saturday night. Anyway, thursday had no class so I hung out with Chris a bit. We were just walking around the city. It came to the point where we were just poking each other until we were holding hands XD That night, I stayed over at the Kavanagh’s.
Friday, had class and met up with Chris again. We were just walking around the city, ending at Hyde Park, just lying on the grass talking and thinking up some wicked photo op shots. Then Berry rang us up and we walked to Chinatown to have dinner. Pretty random. That night, Trina stayed over. We went to Kasumi for dinner, just catching up then we met some of the girls at Tank for a girls’ night out. It was slow jam night and it was pretty good. Saturday was pretty slow, at least in the morning. I was basically just sleeping in and doing some uni work. Some people were taking photos in the city and I decided to join in cause I had some time before I needed to go to Argyle at the Rocks for Danielle’s 22nd. Started with having dinner first at Market City then made our way down towards Darling Harbour. Some of the shots were beautiful ^_^
Left the group at Hyde Park cause I needed to go. Rocked up and the place was sorta happening. Got to see some old faces again But I was hungry XD Didnt eat much at dinner and I couldnt even dance cause the music was boring and I got gastric lol. After a bit, I left for a bit to have pancakes on the rocks with the photo group. XD I was happy I got to eat. People were leaving around 12.30am and I was gonna sleepover at the Kavanagh’s again cause of the mother’s day luncheon I was attending the next day. When I left Argyle, the lines to get in were long so I didnt want to go and wait on my own so Chris stayed with me at the ferry’s for a bit until his train came. I thought it wouldnt be cold so I didnt bring a jacket lmao ^_^” Anyway, I was really confident in myself so I just kissed him before he left *flees*
Took the nightrider for the first time, weird. Mother’s Day luncheon was awesome. Got a gift from Shirley cause we were prospective mothers lol. Got home bout 7-ish and I was just dealing with uni stuff. Monday, finished uni preparation \o/ Did a bit of statistics and then stayed at UTS cause some people were heading up UTS tower again. Figured I’ll stay and see the view on evening. Well worth it ^_^ The view was gorgeous, got to see Chris too so twas good. We all went for dinner on Sussex then I just hung at World’s Square with Chris talking. Todays, just met up with him for an hour between his classes then headed home. Vic and Priya crashed my place and that was pretty awesome. Right now, I should just review my ACAD report due tomorrow then study a little of accouting.
Oh yeah, my parents have had some emergency. I’ve been trying to contact them for a few days but could never get to them. Found out why today when I rang home. They went to Terengganu for a bit and I dont know why. I need to ask them about my flight home and over HSBC Banking stuff but I guess I’ll have to leave it till tomorrow when they get back home. Exams next week o: I did some accounting revision today, so I should do a little more on that, and on managing info and statistics. I cant fail statistics man 
I’d die if I needed to do 7 subjects next sem *sigh* Laters xx
Rebellion and Laughs
[Skye Sweetnam | Human]
9 days down the road and some things have passed that have etched a fair bit in my brain. Last week I saved up a pretty bit of money, which I am proud of. I had a long weekend which was spent stressed over assignments, but also having a great time out. Thursday night, went out with Michael and his friends to St. James. Ok, bad idea on my part seeing that it was a pretty bad place but I went once more just for them. Ended up paying $30 and the dancing was horrid so no more going there haha.
Friday was an interesting day. One, didn’t get enough sleep and I was going out clubbing that night. Two, I got a warning. Yes, a warning. Why? For what? Trying to get someone in the library. My idea? No. We were having our group presentation meeting there and Eric comes late, and brings his girlfriend along. Not thinking about the visitor’s desk right behind him, and totally being oblivious to it as well, I pass my card to him only to get caught lmao. The guard is fucking scary. Yeah, I knew I did something wrong and I probably have some bad image up in him now after it, I was like meh.
Went out with Trina, Vic and Priya that night. Was bloody awesome. Went to Tank, and it was one club I would totally love to go to again. I absolutely loved the vibe and the dancing..pwhore. Had the best time of my life. I was out till 3 in the morning. I died the night after and learned the lesson of not going out clubbing with a lack of sleep.
Assignments are over for the most part this week and tonight, I can finally sleep in. I bought an awesome jacket today and have spotted a pair of sneakers that I am inlove with. At first I wanted to get a pair of Converse High Tops but decided against them. I want to get White Gold Rhino Reds by Marc Ecko Phranz Phantzia. They’re so pretty but they’re $150 so I have to have a big think about it. Either get that or get a pair of shoes that Ive been eyeing as well. It’ll take a while to decide haha ^_^”
Anyway, tomorrow I’m going to do Accounting and Uni Prep, and possibly do a little of Statistics, which will leave a little work to be done during the weekend. Going out with Trina this friday, and Im going with Kenneth to West Concorde as part of UTS Exposure (photography club). We’re checking out this estate which looks like the english country side and it was too tempting to resist. I can’t imagine the photos we’ll be able to take there, and Im considering dressing up a little just to have fun taking photos. Anyway that’s the end of an update.
Oh yeah! Going back to KL on the 27th of May for 2 weeks because the last week of exam week, I dont have any exams so I’ll be there till the 10th of June. Ta xx
Again!?
[Madonna ft. Justin Timberlake | 4 Minutes]
“What was your expectation?”
“I wasn’t expecting this many asians.”
Where does the question come from? Our Uni Prep presentation tutorial today. Where does the answer come from? My friend Nathan. He’s the biggest idiot but I love him haha. Why is it funny? 1) He’s not asian & 2) He was in a room full of asians. “I’m so going to be stabbed after this.” And so you will be Nathan.
The day seemed to go by fairly quickly. Tried some Shin Ramyun noodles and I gotta say, they were pretty good noodles. No wonder Dina loves it. Statistics lecture went by earlier than expected although I kind of got in trouble with the lecturer cause I like hit Nathan on the head with my notepad XD. As a group, we headed to Great Southern to have some food. Played a game of pool against Jono and Eric and I was pretty on par with them I just didnt sink in the black ball is all. Ah well, it felt good to play after not playing for a while. Stayed at uni for the statistics tutorial which helped heaps. I was very happy knowing that I got all but one question wrong on our recent assignment. I have 2 assignments as I said and a speech to do. I think I’ll do a fair bit of managing info tonight so that I can have a little more of a break.
Just a quick update this time around. I think I’ll be having a pretty good weekend this coming one. I of course have to do my presentation stuff and speech by friday, but if I get managing info out of the way by tomorrow night, and accounting by thursday, I’ll just have statistics and ACAD to do ^_^ That’s it xx
I should
[Michael Jackson & Akon | Wanna be starting something]
So the major week has gone by and Im doing pretty well. I get statistics more now. Its not gonna help for the last 7 assignments but at least come final exams, Ill be ready. I’m ahead on my assignments thankfully. Already I’ve done the work for this week, I should really just start working on my managing info assignment, uni101 presentation and ACAD draft. First thing I need to do is work on my speech. Its not due till next monday but I need to have it prepared around wednesday. Methinks I’ll work on it tomorrow after tutoring.
My plan to go out friday didnt work out at all lol. It’s all good though, made up a little last night when I went to Annie’s 18th. Had a good dinner at pancakes on the rocks at darling harbour. I find that a little funny. You expect it ‘at the rocks’ but it’s at darling harbour. Some of Annie’s friends decided not to come cause they all showed up at Circular Quay XD It was a quiet-ish night and I was back home by 11.30pm but it was good. I was happy cause I got to meet some of Annie’s friends who are really cool people, and got to dance a little to my heart’s content. Dancing to rnb is like a treat for me, cause the place I go to with MC play house. There’s nothing wrong with it but I kinda felt a little like I was losing my dancing skills haha. I didnt drink at all \o/ Me saved monies yay.
I think this week will be slightly better. Got a fair bit of things to do but if I get HW done like on thursday, and work on my assignments, I should be good for another night out ^_^ Anyway, that should be all there is to me over here. Oh yeah! Found out that I’ll another week of break cause I only have exams the first week of the exam period \o/ I havent found out if I’ll be able to go back to KL earlier cause the ticket’s already been booked but if I dont go, I’ll either spend a week here or go visit Chris in GC or someone in Melbourne ^_^ Oh and we have a karaoke system back home lmao. And that thing my bro got for his birthday that my mum wouldnt tell me about *ponders* That’s all for now xx
