Stupid Things I've done over the past 60 hours

1) Fell off my chair (very gracefully) while getting up from it (Thank God for carpets).

2) Inserted my ATM card into a slot beneath the actual ATM slot, and embarrassingly got it stuck inside.

3)Missed my tut cos I cannot find it.

4) The best is yet to be. I hope I don't do anything dumber than all this.

Mings if the swine flu thingi gets outta hand I'll be back in Singapore for a longer period from 30/6-21/7. OR if it gets TOO outta hand then I'll be stuck here in Brisbane and I'll cry everyday!

Love ya!

Up and down like a horses in a carousel, that's how my mood changes.

I've effectively had a million fluctuations just in one day. sucks. bleacgh.

Lunch was awesome though! The rice today was actually FLUFFY and correctly cooked! *Gasp!*

2 more months, and it feels like forever at this point of time.

The Break is OVER

This week has been by far the most interesting, amazing, exhausting and hilarious week I've had ever. Nat and Liheng were down in Brisbane for 1.5 weeks, and it was really great having a part of home come down to visit. It was funny how our group of maybe 3-4 people slowly expanded with each night, such that by the end of the week we were sitting at tables with 10 people. I was telling Nat that when you're overseas, the amount of links and networks you draw up are pretty incredible, such that pretty soon you know everyone. Anyways, playing tourguide for a week is no joke, and I'm really glad we all enjoyed ourselves.

Ok picure time, because my brain is still slightly fuzzy from the after effects of all the events.

That's us at this awesome cafe called 3 Monkeys! I shan't elaborate more about finding the cafe, it was so embarrassing. After this photo we had 4 more people join us, and ended up with a kind of pseudo-wedding-dinner table setting. That was pretty interesting because we started as a table of 2 groups of strangers and were friends by the end of the night.

Brisbane city by night taken from the City Cat (which, ironically, is a boat)

And duh, Brisbane city in the day. Don't you love those Simpson clouds?? Awesome right? But the weather throughout the week was retarded. When we decided to go to Movieworld on Monday it rained like Siyi's unstoppable leaking tap. Resulting in Nat and my shoes turning into mini canoes of water and very smelly, wet, wrinkled feet. After that day, it no longer rained. Siao one.


Movie World shot in front of Superman! I think I probably posted something similar last year in Sep considering what an awesome ride this is. Nothing can beat Superman Escape. Honestly promise confirm plus chop. And that's the bunch of us with an adrenaline-high pose after the ride. We wanted to go on one more time but, as I said before, the stupid rain just flooded in like nobody's business.
I'm impressed with my own photography skills man. Haha. Nah, how bad can a shot of a giant ferris wheel be? It's their version of our Flyer, just 3 times faster and slightly smaller. Looks awesome in the skyline though.

And Cons passed me paintings that are just SOOOOO gorgeous!!! I just fell 10 times happier everytime I look on them on my wall. Don't you think they look really zen and classy now that I stuck them on this way? Heh.. I suck at decorating rooms, can't stick stuff on walls properly for nuts, so I was really surprised they turned out looking great on my very very bare walls. Everyone loves the paintings Cons!! Thank you!


Guess what??? More colours!!! NAt and I went slightly deranged at the sight of coloured scrapbook paper and embellishments, we split the 'goods' cos I'll be preparing for my sister's scrapbook for the end of this year! Yay can't wait! :D:D
And I apologise but that's about as may words I can come up with. (Head still buzzing)

It's my mid semester break!!!

Suddenly time is on my hands (ignoring the shitload of work I have to do before term starts again)

I watched 10 Things I Hate About You for the gazillionth time!

:D
I feel extremely volatile.

5 minutes ago I felt like I wanted the world to end and I just wanted to eat myself. After an hour of talking cock and laughter therapy with a couple of girls, I feel like I'm ready to take on the world and the rest of its shit!

Thank God for them, and once again I'm amazed at how polar I can be sometimes, scares me. oooooooooo000o0ooo0o0o0

I went toiletry shopping today!! :D:D What made it more awesome was that when I told this to a couple of people they actually shared my joy with me, how sweet is that. There's nothing suckier than being happy/excited and telling someone only to have them stare blankly at you or think you're crazy.

Can't wait for this Sunday!!!! Gleams!!!

:D

Awesome!!!

I have a new favourite word... Awesome!! (Said with the jockish drawl)

It's raining now, which is sooo awesome because it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when other people out at school are freezing their leg hairs off and having their umbrellas blown in their faces. (I was in that sad predicament about an hour ago when I ended lecture) But now I'm safe, warm and comfy in my room with no sun in my room. Which, once again, is AweSOmme!!

Haha. Excuse my slight madness, no I'm not high on drugs or beer or goon or whatever shit they ingest. Just that this morning was pretty good cos the hostel baked croissants for breakfast! My eyes lit up with delight like a 2 year old getting chocolates because International House(IH) makes fantastic croissants and hadn't done so for ages. I'd been craving for the Fantastic Croissants for weeks now! I told a couple of people sitting with me that I was so happy to have croissants that I felt like I was back home in singapore. Not because they tasted like the ones in Singapore(which suck) but because I was so happy it was as good as me being back home. Can understand?

It was really funny when one of the Austrailian guys we were sitting with said he really had trouble understanding us when we spoke really fast and with no intonation, as we Singaporeans like to do. Even if we do speak with our regular levels of intonation, it still isn't quite like how they intonate. I find it really interesting doing Speech in Australia because speech/language problems don't just arise from being hit in the head too hard or have short tongues etc but also from learning English as a second language. Cultural background is quite a major issue when it comes to Speech. (I see a potential honours thesis coming from here. )

Anyways, here're a couple of pictures since I decided to do a mid-week update because of the AwEsomme weather. :D

The multi-coloured tangyuan we made last week! I think they would've tasted much better without colouring. But they did look really cute though. My Aussie floormate who ate some said, and I quote, 'It's like nothing I've ever eaten before! It was just.. weird! But nice.' Another guy called it fluffy in his mouth. I reckon it didn't go down too well with him. haha.

And this is how it looks like when it's raining, I just took this picture from my table like 4 minutes ago. As you can see everyone draws their curtains except me.
Awesomme... doood.. ahhyuk ahyuk!
