after the darkest hour

After the darkest hour in the longest night, the sun peeks over the horizon.

The birds will sing their favorite song.

The trees will cheer as they sway in the wind.

The horses stomp over the pasture once again.

The land rejoices in the sun's embrace.

For victory is finally here and it is here to stay.

mada mada dane.

party crashers

This year is the year of the 21st birthday parties for the 89s. Yet I have missed tons of parties due to my absence from Singapore. ): I have only attended 4 parties so far:

One is Poyan's back in Singapore.

Another is my ac friend's party over here.

The 2 other parties here where I only met the birthday girl on the very party itself. Both times I only knew one of the many people invited. Both nights ended on a pretty high note too! Last Saturday was one of the parties. I felt kind of bad though. Apparently the party was very exclusive and only close friends were invited.

I must admit it was dam fun though. Meeting all the new people and just chilling out with strangers whom I most probably would never meet again. It was a long night with a lot of happenings. Nah, shall not bore you guys with the details.

My friend described it best, "We are having so much fun that I am almost feeling guilty."


I kind of like this song.

I might get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight.

Exams are over

Hey guys. How's it going. My exams are finally over. They ended yesterday, the day when the Los Angeles Lakers became the NBA Champions 2010. I am very tempted to dedicate this entry to my dear Boston Celtics who suffered an utter defeat after a tough battle at the NBA Finals. Then again, seeing that this is my first entry after my long exam break. I shall... talk about something else or rather, bore you guys with something else.

I have actually thought of a few good topics to blog about. However the moment i start rattling i cannot stop. And I am not exactly in the mood for long entries. I shall go ahead withe mundane stuff then - me. LOL.

If any of you are asking, my exams went pretty alright. Logic was a bitch though. I did not finish the paper. It is more intellectual challenging than Biology, Chemistry and Physics combined. Like W.T.F? It is supposed to be my breadth subject, in the end it is the most brain draining one. I chose the subject because I wanted to learn something new and it looked interesting. Nice one, Einstein.

I am just glad it is over. Now I am just waiting for my beloved OCS section mates to come visit me in Melbourne. Abriel, Brian and Maurice. Brian is my OCS buddy by the way. He is coming all the way just to see ME. Aww. Isn't that cute. Not to mention leech off me. Ass. Okay kidding.

I think my first winter holiday in Melbourne is going to be a blast. I should get some reading done too. Hmm. That is a great idea.

I have heard some awesome reviews of Toy Story 3. woah. hmm.

I just watched the first 5 minutes of Law Abiding Citizen and I closed my window. Sickest movie ever seriously. Too intense for me already wth. After exams I should have watched something more light hearted, like HIMYM for example. I CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 6.

Oh rats. This entry turned out pretty long itself. Oops. That would be all. Class dismissed.

first entry from melbourne(:

SSUP YO. 4th day in melbourne and everything is going fine i guess. hhaha. got my bank settled. got my phone and internet up. next monday im going to meet my student advisor to plan my modules. yepp they got that kind of service for international students. sweet.

well first day here was okay. arranged transport to fetch me frm the airport to bring me to my accommodation while i was back in singapore but that was all via email and i didn't know that melbourne has more than 1 airport until the day i flew. D: but phew. all ended well!

so i went into my room. put down my stuff and guess what i did. i went to school! university of melbourne. well i wanted to take a look and i was feeling pretty adventurous. ohh come on alone in a foriegn country? sounds like fun. hahah ohwell before long i got lost. lol. i was pretty much wandering around then i realised i was walking in circles soon enough ahahha. my first meal in melbourne was hotdog and banana milkshake which cost me 7.50 bucks. i dont think im gonna ever eat that again. in the end i saw something familiar and found my way out. pheww. ohcome on i can navigate even when im surrounded by trees.

after that my nice housemate brought me to the city! my place rocks. it's 10min from school and 15min from the city. so it's like i can walk to orchard if im back in singapore. awesomeeee. well first day in melbourne and i went to the city twice already because i bought quite a bit of stuff and it was pretty heavy so i went there a second time to get more stuff. walking to and fro needs 30min D:

my dinner for 2 consecutive nights is maggie D: talk about unhealthy! but now i have found the answer to my prayers. *drum rolls* SUSHI. yes sushi. and guess what. made by yours truly. LOL. yesterday was the goddam first time in my effing life i made sushi. it was freaking epic fail the first time. i was trying to make lunch. in the end i added too much water to the rice and it became porridge DD: so the seaweed was all soggy. in the end i just had porridge with cucumber and seaweed. hahah i only bought cucumber as ingredients because i just wanted to try it out i dont wanna buy too much later waste $$. by dinner time i because much better!

sushi is economical and best of all, HEALTHY. no wonder the japanese lives for so long. hahah. half a cup of rice is enough for me to make enough sushi for 2 meals. talk about cheap. i bought the rice/seaweed/cucumber/rolling-bamboo-to-make-the sushi-round for a total of 10 bucks. and so far 1 and a half cup of rice lasted me for 5 meals. (first half a cup only lasted one meal because it was super fail lol.)

next up im gonna try pasta! cooking your own meal is seriously cheaper. everything here is dam expensive! rawrr. when i go back i shall make sushi for you guys okay(: honestly im getting pretty good at it lol. bobian its all about survival here must learn how to suvive alone even if nobody teach you. okay lah my housemate gave me some advice on the sushi making. but im super super proud of myself :D

just went for a jog. haha no shit. must keep fit. everything here must think of long term solutions because i would be here for pretty long. so i decided i must start keeping fit sooner or later so why not start on a saturday since most shops are closed so i wouldnt be able to do much anyway. hahah. i didnt dare to jog far though. so i was pretty much jogging in circles. :X but it was a good workout nevertheless! 4th day go jogging liao leh! XP

things a pretty tough when you have to settle every tweeny little detail alone. everyone is so far far awayyyy. no one to count on but yourself :/ that can be pretty tiring you know. but im doing fine i guess. i cant wait for school to start though. im afraid that my drive would die down. theres so much shit here that i dont know how long i would last. everything here i need to count on myself. literally. i read through the university pamphlets there are so much freaking stuff to take note of! i am afraid that i would burn out, that i would be putting too much stuff on my plate. then again i must do enough stuff to make myself an outstanding student in order to get that freakinnnn scholarship! RAWRRR. so much is at stake. *bite my nails*

so many people that i cant disappoint. especially my parents. i am feeling so restless. i want to choose my modules now now now. omgg. im gonna pluck my hair out already. actually i tried to plan for my modules on thursday. but my vet science program is a new initiative by the school so i wanted to ask what modules should i take so that i can be eligible for the vet science program. freakinnn everyone is clueless since its new. zzz. WTH. in the end i asked for directions and walked to the vet school which is quite far away frm main campus. when i reached there they wouldnt let me in because i am not studying there! i said i wanted to speak to someone to advise me on what modules to take and they told me that i am only allowed if i have an appointment. so i asked how can i book an appointment, they asked me to provide someone's name. i was like how the hell would i know their name if im not studying there yet. zzz. in the end i walked all the way there for nothinggg zz. so lets see how things goes on monday. well i did some research online. i pretty much know what i need to do already.

RAWRRR. keep up the fighting spirit yo. HWAITING.

NO JOURNEY TOO TOUGH.
