So I made my way out.

5 hours later…

and still no progress.

Last weekend, I went to the RAS with the couple and Joawenn. I’ve been there a couple of times already so this year… I got lazy to take pictures. I only took some with my phone…

Here’s C and Des watching the pigs:

Jo and I waiting for the pigs too…:

Jo went back to Msia on Thursday…

Joawenn: Miss you already~ wish you all the best and hopefully we’ll meet up soon!

At the RAS I also made friends with a cow:

Then I milked a cow!!

Then I ate cow… ><

Well, technically I ate BEEF. And that’s my homemade bacon deluxe! hahaha. Can’t really see the beef patty but it’s there… you see under the cheese and bacon… there’s something poking out~ that’s the beef. Coles had offer on beef mince so i made some burgers with them~ freeze, and ill have instant food for another day! (well not so instant lah… but healthier than instant noodles…)

I mentioned lanterns in yesterday’s post… so here’s a picture!

Pretty ya!!??

Before the weekend, I also learnt how to make flowers out of ribbons!!

Here are the presents for the birthday boys whom I spent the entire weekend with~ almost.

Presenting the birthday guys! Arnab, Roy and Radheya:

That was from the dinner at the Hyatt. Trust me. Friday night’s celebration wasn’t as glamorous…  haha.

Anyway, I had trouble with my hair last night. I tried curling it and putting it in a ponytail but that totally failed. In the end I resorted to plan B which is to just put it up with a chopstick… That hair disaster made me really late!! Felt so bad… but at least I made it on time for the group picture.

Anyway, after the dinner, I took the chopstick out… and ended up with…

disaster hair:

(that’s my “heeh..” look.)

But i thought i could do stuff with it… like…

An artsy picture!!

or uh…

glamour girl??

MUAHAHAHA!!!

ok maybe not…

I’m so glad I’m born with straight hair.

Anyway, weekend over… got staff meeting tonight… Only other plan for the week is to watch Up and I think I’m going on Weds for that movie.

hmmph.

Hiking got cancelled today which was quite disappointing but I ended up sleeping in so late such that If i did go hiking, I would have been back home before I woke up today…

Before I go… A little guessing game for you…

What is this?

There might be a prize…

Good Luck!!

ok maybe i better write a better post than the previous one. i mean afterall, its the holidays right? im supposed to be freeee.

The last couple of weeks of uni felt like holidays already for me… so during the actual holidays should probably be a good time for me to do some catch up work! then again… thats what i say every holidays i have. =.=”

This weekend isn’t over yet… but so far it has been a blast.

Friday after a dhamma class (which was um… ok i guess… the master who spoke to us spoke in chinese so i needed translation and my translator wasn’t very good since he told lots of stories and i didn’t get many translations for that but in the end i got the general idea i guess thats what counts~) i followed them for a walk along torrens river with lanterns!! Early celebrations of mid-autumn festival (zhong qiu jie kuai le!= happy mid autumn fest? I think… if i remember correctly from what YK taught me ><)  It was so pretty… imagine many different colored lanterns bobbing along the trail by the river… and it was a pretty big grp of ppl too. Then we had vegetarian dinner at elder park with some games… then i left early…

After that very uh… traditional/religious event, i went drinking. =.=” was an awesome night though. I mean, for the duration i was awake i kinda fell asleep on the couch… hahaha.

Saturday, i had ballroom. last class before the medals next week!! i’m kinda excited. it was fun to finally go through all the routines one after another without stopping. feeling of accomplishment. Nice. Then i had a few hrs of work which wasn’t so bad. Then later at night went over to Rad’s place to surprise him with a bday cake.

Today i got up reallly late. Then i went shopping for a while =P (i didnt buy anything though! except food from woolies!) and now im here. So… in about an hour’s time I’ll be heading off for dinner. Rad, Roy and Arnab’s combined dinner party (hence the the drinking on friday night as well…) at … The Hyatt! i’m excited. We’re all gonna be formal and stuff. Nice change from the HJ uniforms we constantly see each other in~

Hope all goes well. Should be another fun night….

Then hiking tomorrow. (burn off all the calories gained during the weekend. hehe)

For those on holidays as well- Hope you have a good time! (Especially darling who’s off to Gold Coast!!)

hee hee hee.

me happy.

Sometimes I come up with entries where I ramble on about how people have the wrong impression of me and I try to explain to you readers who I really am…

But the truth is, I don’t think I know myself any better than you know me. I still don’t know who I am, and I don’t know who I want to be. I’m still experimenting. Trying my hand at new things.

In fact, even studying pharmacy here is an experiment. I mean, sometimes I think I’m studying in the wrong course. But I convince myself I’m in the right place and doing the right thing. After all, what else am I to do? I’m already way past the halfway point. I don’t want to turn back now. (not going to say it’s too late to turn back because really, it’s never too late to do anything) Some people spend their whole lives figuring out who they are and who they want to be. Right? I mean, apart from a small fraction, I believe we all step out of high school really not knowing who we are… We pick a course at uni and at uni we continue discovering… Maybe some people just do what they have to do and never really find out what they want.

So why am I writing this now? I was thinking about the Unilife board elections… And trying to think of why I would do such a thing as to nominate myself to run for it. Three years ago I wouldn’t even consider being a class representative! And here I am trying for Campus representative?? It’s something completely out of my comfort zone. Something I never dreamed myself of being able to do, yet here I am putting in time and effort to get myself into that position. Why? First reason is because K asked me to. And when a friend is in something, you feel like you can do it too. But that’s a really silly reason. It’s a big job. Is ‘following a friend’ a legitimate enough reason for something this big??

I came up with another reason (playing Bejewelled on facebook really lets my mind wander…). I think I just really like a challenge. I complain about certain things a lot, like when I first had to take over MySA, or when I have presentations, or when I’ve got performances. But in the end of the day, I know that what has to be done will be done. It could be about the adrenaline. Who doesn’t enjoy an adrenaline rush? Makes you feel all jumpy and nervous but when it’s all over it feels so good… But if I think I know myself well enough, then it’s not really the adrenalin that I enjoy. It’s the satisfaction, self-pride, and confidence I gain from having conquering the task. Without fail, when I look back and think about some of the situations i voluntarily place myself in and having come out of it feeling accomplished, I have this raging sense of pride in me. That being said though, sometimes that pride really gets to my head and if I were my friends I’d be annoyed with me. So that’s not really a good thing. I mean, do I really want to be that proud person who walks around with their head so big they cant even get through doors? Seroiusly, sometimes I feel the more I accomplish, the closer I get to that stage. I have a tendency to be condescending without realising it as well. It’s only after I’ve had the time to sit back and reflect upon what I have said and done that I realise I was being condescending and by then it’s too late. But what am I supposed to do? Stick to my comfort zone? Don’t try anything new? Don’t challenge myself? Life would be a bore then…

So. I’m in it because I want a challenge. I’ve never done something like this, so it’s about time I tried. I don’t promise that I know what I’m doing or if I’ll be any good at it, but I can promise I’ll try my best and not let people down. I don’t like failing. I hate feeling like a failure. It depresses me, and disappoints everyone else. So when I take on a challenge I’ll do my best to see it through.

MySA turned out alright… but that wasn’t too difficult…

What if this proves too big a challenge for me to handle?

It was a little too good to last. That strange high. The uncontrollable, sociable, chatterbox I can sometimes become.

All that talking and socialising can suddenly become overwhelming and I end up feeling rather down low, worrying about all the things that I’ve said and done over that period of high-ness…

It’s as if I was drunk for a few days, and then I suddenly sober up and snap back to reality and it all comes crashing down.

Why did I do that? Why did I say that? If I were someone else I’d be looking at me screaming “What the hell were you thinking!?!?”

This happens so often you’d think I’d learn a lesson by now.

But as I said, it’s like being drunk. When you’re in that mode, you lose control. You think you know what you’re doing and you think you’re in command. But you’re wrong. And you never notice until it’s over.

By then it’s too late.

(No I didn’t do anything bad… just silly little things)

there’s always sometime in the month when I’m a big chatterbox. My mouth just wont stop. Or my fingers wont stop typing…

this is one of those times.

Was on MSN last night and I cant stop talking to people… Sometimes there’s so much to talk about. There are other times when you really want to talk to someone, but there’s nothing to talk about. I wonder why some things come to us at the weirdest of times.

Ok as much as Id like to keep on rambling about nothing, I just realised this is probably a good time to top up my print quota for uni…

see ya

After a good night out at the club, I come home feeling sad it’s over.

That being said though, dancing isn’t the same without some guys around~

Did i mention I came home last night and had dreams about dancing and tall indian guys?

Yea… that’s kind of what my weird dream was about.

Last night was a blast.

Attended Kughan’s very belated 21st Birthday Party. Apart from the shoe stench that greeted us at the bottom of the stairs to his apartment, the rest of the night was good

After Kughan’s house party we headed to Star Bar which was pretty good. Not too crowded. Nice environment, with pool tables and lots of seats~ But we ended up on the dance floor most of the time anyway. Music genre was good. Except sometimes the DJ does a bit too much remixing and he only plays short snippets of the GOOD songs. WHyyy!?? blarh. But sometimes it’s not about the music or the location. It’s about company.

And the company last night was good. Its fun dancing with people who actually interact with your dancing. If that makes any sense at all. You know… sometimes the people you dance with just dance in their own world and don’t respond to you.

Had some strange things happen that makes me go ‘what was that about??” and other strange things that gave me weird dreams last night. But all in all a night to remember.

Thanks Kughan for the invitation, and I and hope you enjoyed yourself!

Side note: Seriously, he needs to stop thinking that everything is about him.
