Freedom !!!

The lack of activity for the past week was due to ahem... studying. Yeah right. It was more of a guilty feeling that I shouldn't be relaxing as much as I was during exam time so I just erm... slept instead of coming online... and I tried very hard to read through my textbooks, I really did. It's just that I have this disorder where my eyes automatically close when I see a textbook... part of my pful^zzz syndrome maybe?

So it's freedom for a month!!!! hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Happiness. No more going to Uni, no more books (except storybooks of course), no more work, just fun fun fun! And packing -_-'''.

So who's up for a movie marathon of all the movies I have at home which I never got the chance to watch? Muahahaha. My excitement is beyong words, because I am beyong you and you are beyong me! Good day all!

keeping myself from typing anymore until the adrenaline calms down.

If you go down to the woods today

If you go down to the woods today

You're sure of a big surprise

If you go down to the woods today

You better believe your eyes

For every bear that ever there was

Will gather there for certain because

Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

Every teddy bear who's been good

Is sure of a treat today

There's lots of marvelous things to eat

And wonderful games to play

Beneath the trees, where nobody sees

They'll hide and seek as long as they please

'Cause that's the way the teddy bears have their picnic

Picnic time for teddy bears

The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today

Watch them, catch them unawares

And see them picnic on their holiday

See them gaily gad about

They love, to play and shout, they never have any cares

At six o'clock their mommies and daddies

Will take them home to bed

Because they're tired little teddy bears

If you go down in the woods today You better not go alone

It's lovely down in the woods today

But safer to stay at home

For every bear that ever there was

Will gather there together because

Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

So I just finished watching Open Season. It's supposed to be a kids' song, but it sounds kinda... sinister? creepy? Like the teddy bears are gonna turn around with gleaming red eyes, baring fangs and brandishing claws (you know, like knives) and come after you.....and eat you.....

...I'm gonna have nightmares tonight...

Random videos... because I can

Speed Monkey

Oh how I miss my rpg's...

Cloud's hair is ridiculously gravity-defying

Donkey rocks, haha

Flawless Victory

I forgot just how wonderful movie effects in 1995 were. Following a sudden urge to watch Mortal Kombat again (after 10+ years?), I realise just how bad the effects and fighting were. Totally spoils my whole "Mortal-Kombat-is-so-cool!" concept. But, the song still rocks... and Raiden rocks. =) Can't wait for the third movie next year!

Mods de Chocobo

I know I declared a 2-week hiatus. I also know that I cannot last 2 weeks without blogging. Not that I'm a blog addict. I just have news. =D

SOOOO, my big news is..... that......... I'm...............

GETTING MARRIED!

no, not really. Actually, the big news is that I'm moving to Melb next year. =) I'm switching course entirely and I'm moving to Melb after my IP (industry placement) this year. The reason I'm still going ahead with my IP is 'cause I wanna earn lots and lots of money to cover whatever expenses (including tuition fees) I've already spent this year, and possibly earn more so that I can cover some of my expenses for next year as well. So, the only thing I'm wasting is time. BUT, I'm still young (trying to console myself), and by the time I graduate, I will still be young (definitely much younger than when those future-surgeons/doctors graduate, heehee).

So to answer some of the questions that some of you have already asked/are going to ask:

What course am I taking? Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Accounting and possibly Actuarial Studies (depending on how crazy I am).

Which uni? Uni of Melb.

Why Uni of Melb? Because I can.

Why move to Melb? Because I can.

Why change course? Because I can.

So, basically, because I can lah!

Okay, seriously, I'm moving there because of certain family situations that I shall choose not to disclose because it will embarass one certain member of my family greatly. hehe. And my parents feel safer with me in Melb 'cause I have an aunt there, so I won't go missing for days without anyone realising. And I'm miserable in Adelaide (although this is only a very small tiny tiny part of it).

Reasons for course switch, in no particular order:

1) Financial situations, the fees where I'm studying at the current moment is ridiculous,

2)Possibility of scholarship so it will help problem no. 1, thus further lightening my dad's burden of having to support me and my useless brother (don't cut your wrist, I'm only kidding, you know I love you... as much as you love me! I know you do =D).

3)According to miss RX and my aunt, getting a PR in aus will be easier if I choose a course which is in demand, i.e. Bach of Commerce/Accounting etc.,

4)Better future/higher pay (so it will help problem no. 1), etc.

5)IF, and only IF, my results are good, I will be offered jobs at super canggih companies before I even graduate

6)More relaxing hours than what I have here now = can work part-time = can help with problem no.1

7)More holidays = can work = can help with problem no.1

Before any of you start with the "I-told-you-so's" (yes, I'm looking at all of you who told me I was wasting my potential/brains (what brains??) on hospitality course), I don't think that coming here was a mistake. It was more of... a learning experience. =) Learning to be in a place where I knew no one, learning to adapt... and most of all, I believe I did learn a lot during this one semester in this course. I do still like this course... or whatever I've learnt in the past semester anyway. And if not for a naggy feeling that I'm "wasting my potential" (yeah so you guys did get to me after all, *grumble grumble*), I would still continue with this course. So, I have no regrets whatsoever in making the "mistake" of coming here. At least I got a chance to bartend, and I was good at it too, ho ho ho. Okay, jokes aside, the most important lesson I learnt, I guess, is that it's okay to make mistakes sometimes, even big mistakes like this. No one's perfect. And, at least I get to earn back the money (and more) when I go for IP. Okay, I'm done defending my mistake. I will now brace myself for the "I-told-you-so's". Bring it on! =P

One very very bad thing that's come out of this decision is... I'm putting zero effort into my exams next week.. meaning even LESS effort than I normally put in.. if that's even possible =D

You used to laugh out loud but you can't remember when

I declare a brief 2 week hiatus starting today. Exam week looms, and I still haven't started. I really never learn from past kanchong-cannot-finish-studying-ness. The worst part of this is I have no study break. *sobz* The day I actually finish studying for any paper is the day the biggest miracle in this world happens.

Hurt

Shilly in the UK: You misunderstood me, I misunderstood you. But I still feel hurt... I'm trying to understand that you may have your own problems that you seem reluctant to share, causing you to say what you said in the email. I don't know anymore. There's too many things on my mind. Maybe I should just stop thinking and feeling. Maybe it's true what they say, we always hurt the people we love the most. Allowing myself to feel hurt over what you said is proof enough that I still care so much about our friendship. Although I doubt you will even read this... ?

To everyone else who doesn't know who I'm talking to and what I'm talking about, it's not a boyfriend/ex-boyfriend. In case anyone's *shoots bro a "look"* getting any funny ideas.

Excitement!

heeheehee, someone knows what it's about =D

To the person concerned: However excited and happy for you I am, I do think you should keep your guard up and be careful. Not everyone we think we can trust 100% can be trusted 100%. Not that I'm saying anything bad about that person. But yeah, I just feel you should. (Somehow, I feel like I'm trying to protect you, but why? Shouldn't it be the other way round? lol) Warnings aside, I'm still excited and happy... tearily happy. *grins*

Rest in peace

Just got off the phone with sly sly. I really feel very very sad for what happened. And I'm sure what I'm feeling is not even a tenth of what you're probably feeling. I have to say, I sure admire how strong you remain throughout all this. If it were me, I really don't know how I'ld handle it. There were so many things I wanted to say to you when I called, but erm... we ended up talking crap for one hour plus? Haha. I really wish I can be there right now, and crying with you (possibly... most probably... crying more than you, =p) I know that even though you sounded fine on the phone, you're not really that fine inside. I couldn't imagine ever losing my mum. So just believe and trust in the fact that she's in a happier place now, no longer suffering like what she's been suffering for the past few months, and finally free of pain. I'll keep praying for her, and you should too (I'm sure you will =). I guess this is what life is about. And, I'm very bad at expressing feelings over the phone, but if you ever need support (or if you just miss me too much =D), you know my number. =) (And I know you miss me, no need to deny, hehe)

John 14:1-4 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going."

Your mum will be there waiting for you. =)

You better read this okay. I go all jiwang and sad just for your sake. You better read this! hehe

God must love me

A while ago, this arrived:

That, my friends, is my new toy. It may not be the latest canggih mp3 player, but it's an mp3 player nonetheless. That was the free gift I was supposed to redeem when I bought my printer previously, and it arrived... TODAY! wahahaha, yay-ness. And I just realised how outdated the songs on my laptop are. Doesn't matter. I have a new toy! =D =D =D =D =D
