Happy without studies..

Holidays are here! Actually it's meant to be a study break which is not happening. =x

Either ways, had a great weekend! =D Headed to the tulip fest, durian fest .. Crashed the college at Latrobe Uni @ Bundoora! Didn't really do much but it was a good time listening to their tales with their local college people. Played a bit of table tennis/pool as well. =) Made plans to go to a soccer match but didn't.

Also went to visit the church there, similar to SSCOC .. But much more locals. Quite friendly too =)

Monday - morning assignment discussion went nowhere. Attempts to study in the library with the laptop meant uploading overdue pictures on facebook.

Went over to sharm's place for dinner + movie marathon though =D It was quite scary and insecure because that day I ran out of batt for my phone and she wasn't in! Waited like 20 mins and even borrowed an acquitance's phone to ensure that it was at her place and not elsewhere. Goodness me. Was hard to focus on studying even if I tried.

Watched 3 movies last night. Kite runner, ***, butterfly effect. Can't remember the name of the show of ***. =x It's not vulgarities that I censored la. Haha.

Ironically, *** was my favourite show. Lol.

~~~

Stayed over and today, was my exercise day!

Went to the gym this afternoon (coz it expires today) and used my one day pass to fitness first kindly sponsered by Kenchin =D Went for body attack with Paul (name of instructor) and regretted not going last night when there was BOTH body attack and body combat! What a workout! Can't remember the last time i pushed myself as hard! Too bad it was only for 40 mins. Missed the steppings and lifting the knees HIGH bit.. the superman jumps.. scissors.. punches and launches.. the recoveries with push ups on the mats.. triceps ones and wide open ones.. fast ones and slow ones..

Weights! My favourite! Headed to the 'girls room' with the room full of weights and did some leg press (ultimate best!) until i actually perspired! Did a few crunches with the machine which at first seemed weird coz my face (cheeks mainly.. those fatty areas) felt like it was vibrating instead of my tummy! Goodness gracious..

Wushu next! Improved on my 2-man fighting with Nic's help =D managed to 'steal' the sticks or 棍 for a few moments before having to return.. Didn't even get to learn new stuff =( sadness. lol

Time is 10:00pm now. All i did after wushu was go to the lib to stone, eat cold dinner there and come back and bathe. =x what an unproductive time. darn it.

Waste of time.

The holidays are here! Yet I am slacking on my own. Feeling very lonely as I stay home alone. Things are hard to organise when half the people dont have holidays yet. Plus the fact that my phone credit just ran out and it takes 3 days to recharge. So much so that I don't even have the credit to book my shift to work tonight so that I would not waste my time. =x HAI.

What a crappy way to start the holidays. Who said a few hours 'thinking' about life would be enough. A whole day spent on improving resumes (basically just rewriting my lousy english in it) is really ARGH.

sad.

To think about..

2 more days before the start of semester break.

Feeling very disorganised.

Once again, I've come to the point in my life that I start doing things for the sake of doing it. I start going for events for the sake of going. Why do I do such things? I'm always losing sight of it all.. =(

Wushu update: Everyone seems to be getting sick! And the funny bit is that we're all spraining our ankles NOT DUE to wushu! I think i started the trend, though i started it small. The rest are spraining in such a way that they need crutches! Thank God that I don't need that and could still walk around in such a way people are still skeptical if i actually sprained my ankle =-p

Missed last week's wushu training and missed out on so much of the form! But at least I'm back on track with the kicks and jumps. Hoping to do more next time. I should practise at home .. one day..

Once the holidays are here.. Here are the things that I seriously need to start thinking about

1) PR application (faster go to the stupid IELTS centre la!)
2) Settle accomodation (call agent - though technically i was supposed to have done it this week!)
3) Resume write up/brush up resume/change of official email - more importantly, FIND A JOB! (look for careers online resume)
4) STUDY - need to catch up on AS lectures and Contigencies Tutorials and Lectures. Argh. Ok. Need to catch up on ALL lectures and tutorials and assignments!
5) Catch up with friends - haven been talking to many people nowadays. What an anti-social behaviour. Time and effort is all part and parcel of maintaining friendships.

When in sickness, just sleep.

Fell sick on Friday. Got a sore throat/cough after singing in OCF.

Didn't think too much about it and even went to work the following day.

Halfway during work, I coughed heaps and occassionally, into the phone and to one extreme, almost failed to complete my sentence as a result of a disappearing voice.

Despite having a headache afterwards, I still held on and even went grocery shopping as I was already in the city.

So, upon arrival home, i slept from 5-830pm. Made some dinner to make sure I wasn't malnourished then slept again from 12midnight to 9am.

On Sunday, helped with the music for Sunday school and then after church service, played super little bball because it was wet and there were others occupying the courts too..

Made fried carrot cake again for the potluck I had with the Wushu Peeps @ my place =D CS' wrap with chicken and beef was fantastic as were BK's Braised meat and despite Eugenie's absense, her macroroni bake was delicious too =D Of course, not forgetting Jac's lamb *Yum!*

Watched Mummy 3 courtesy of CS.

After which, Jiaying's custard and Kyrie's sago rocked! woohoo!

Thus concluded that day with sleep from 12midnight to 8plusam.

Monday, wasn't feeling that much better either. The moment I entered the lecture theatre, somehow i just coughed non-stop =x Worse thing was that my bottle was empty =( Been coughing the whole day and still had to try to do my assignment because I haven done my part. Ultimately, still came back while the rest went for their lecture and slept from 4pm to 730pm before having dinner and watching drama before then sleeping once again from midnight to 11am.

I wonder if there's such things as too much sleep? Am I a sluggard if I'm sick? =-p

Relationships (revisited)

Had an interesting talk with my housemate last night, who seems to be very observant when it comes to these kinda things (note the title)

Apparently she noticed a 'close bond' between me and a guy and asked if anything was happening. Unfortunately for her 'skillful' observations, I had no same intention that she might have thought me to have. Maybe she'll end up putting ideas into my head. She's hoping that I'm not misled into it though. Lol.

What surprised me more was that she had noticed something between me and another guy sometime last year. Talking with her made me realise that perhaps I really did not know how to react. When I asked her how she knew her current BF likes her, she told me she simply asked him what was going on.. That is something that I failed to do with that friend of mine then. Maybe that's the reason why nothing happened. Then again, I'm sure I played a -ve role in the unsuccessful outcome...

Right. Whatever. I should be more worried over my health and studies now. Relationships.. come secondary.

Work Comments

Worked tonight after 3 weeks of drought from work. Missed the funny comments I get.

Refusal technique applied: "taking our survey is an opportunity to voice your opinion!"
Refusal technique rebuttal: "I voice my opinion through voting!"

Introduction in process: "I would choose a particular person to interview.."
Introduction interrupted: "before you choose that particular person.. let me decline.."

****

got a test tomorrow and 3 tutorials in the morning of which i've only prepared for one. Way to go =x I should stop this trend .. it's already the mid sems!

Merdeka Day

It's interesting to have friends who aspire to be the next minister of health in Malaysia, to be a politician and agree to hold 'press conferences' and be questioned. Of course being a potential politician, you can tell that he is all ready for this by how he dodges the main questions shot at him and answers other questions =-p
