the truth dazzles...

well, yes, tomorrow is my drama exam and i must say that i'm getting really nervy now... jumpy man... coz i have so many lines to say and these lines are like the trigger to everything else that my friends are gonna say.... and yes, tons of people are coming and teh small drama room is gonna be jam packed and squeeze like sardines... its gonna be claustrophobic i tell u....

*screams*

breathe in breathe out... freaking out is not gonna help mel....

i hope people like our drama man... coz ours is so darn serious!! not likt tze meng's and tiok nee's ones... theirs are hilarious man!! can laugh till cry.... but ours is like *frowns* serious all the way coz we wanted to send the message that we should accept our family members for who they are and that the obsession for perfection wil cause the break up of our family. and yes, i'm the super control freak, super perfectionist mother who is so darn aggresive who later has a super break down... and nicholas is my poor hen-pecked husband....hehe... but at the end, he is like ultra scary with his shouting... i always jumped whenever he shouts even in practice.... and sujana is soooo funny man.... and nell is...well, nell.... he's teh cute guy in the drama.... my youngest son... and last but not least, rui xi is the cunning grandmother who wants power of the family....

well, it surely does SOUND serious in my blog....

well here goes man.... tomorrow....

now have to iron my shirt and skirt... and practice walking in my heels.....

darn heels... so high....

drama...

so these few days have been busy practicising my drama group devised performance and let me tell you that just 2 hours of acting can make my energy level go kaput... and when i get home, all i can do is just turn on the shower and just bathe and then check my email and then do 2 to 3 maths questions and then stoned.....geez.... didn't think that it would be THAT tiring man.... but i must say that my group rocks man... they are really great people and really enjoy working with them.... luckily, i got quite a good-to-work-with group and we all think on the same wavelength so hopefully, it will go allright... and hopefully, my tears can come out on that day man....

a breathe of fresh air....

oh gosh... qiqi introduced me to this super nice site that has all sorts... and i do mean ALL SORTS of cute funny stupid unpredictable quizzes.... here's one.... and i must say it is true... (wink wink)

You Are a Sensitive Kisser
For you, kissing is a way to connect
And you need lot of care, attention, and privacy
It may take you a while to kiss someone...
But when you do, it's total fireworks


omigoodness... just trying this out for fun and i must say again that this is quite true man....heehee... though i do hope that i'm not THAT big a nerd man...

You are a Brainy Girl!
Whether you're an official student or a casual learner, you enjoy hitting the books.You know a little bit about everything, and you're always dying to know more.For a guy to win your heart, he's got to share some of your intellectual interests.A awesome book collection of his own doesn't hurt either!


oh gosh.... this is getting addictive man... so fun!! here goes another one....i suggest that all of u try this out...

You Will Be a Modern Bride!
While you aren't ready to throw away all wedding tradions, you want a wedding with a twistYou're more inspired by celebrity weddings on E! than from bridal magazinesWhether this means getting married on the beach barefoot or a mariachi band for the reception...Your wedding will be a blend of old and new - white dress cocktail, personalied vows, whatever suites you!!!


oh well... this is again somewhat true again.... man, this is A-D-D-I-C-T-I-V-E !!!!!

Your Element is Earth
Your power color: yellow
Your energy: balancing
Your season: changing of seasons
Dedicated and responsible, you are a rock to your friends.You are skilled at working out even the most difficult problems.Low key and calm, you are happiest when you are around loved ones.Ambitious and goal oriented, you have long term plans to be successful.


now off to do more maths.... a refreshing rest from maths i must say....

date dress style?? HUH??

Your Style is Sassy
Your date outfits are flirty and fun - and make guys smileOccasionally you'll take a fashion risk, and it will pay offYou're up for flashing an inch or two of skinBut your general rule is to leave most of your bod to the imagination


onto happier things...hee...

i never did know that they had such tests to gauge your DATE DRESS STYLE too!!
sassy.... i like....hehe... not sure whether this is accurate or not man...

i never did like...

there a few types of people that i never did like...

1) the really demanding ones... (can't you just freaking be contented with what i can give you? coz if i do it your way, something's bound to go wrong.)

2) the really obnoxious, i'm-so-talented ones... (We know that you are talented but there's no reason to BROADCAST it... subtlety and modesty is the KEY!!)

3) the really ungrateful ones... (Those who do not even acknowledge my help is NO LONGER on my "to help" list....)

last of all...

4) the ones that think that they are being funny and having the time of their lives at the expense of others... (just because you are happy and having fun, it doesn't mean that others are... be considerate and think of others. people have feelings and emotions too. and think of the consequences please... put yourself in that person's shoes, for goodness sake!!)

i put up with them but one day, i might blow...

C-L-U-B-B-I-N-G!!!

oh gosh, my clothes and hair stink of cigarrette smoke last night man....

nah, didn't start smoking lah.... i never did like people who smoked anyway...

but yea, i went to a club-cum-bar yesterday night till 3m in the morning.... hee... had a great time man...danced till my legs hurt this morning. and the music was like still pounding in my head man...but the songs were really cool and the whole place was super happening man... it was an event specially organised for trinity students at Hush Bar in Melb Central but there outsiders there still...

and saw so many trinity people there man. and my collegemates who i never thought i would see them clubbing were there tossing back alchohol like H2O.... geez, it was like a different world for me but still now, i know why clubbing is so addictive. it makes you want to club even more. it's like never enough. you just want to keep on dancing and drinking till the closing time. your friends are around you, they are laughing, you are joking around, talking and the music blaring in your ears. and everyone so glammed up for a change. and suddenly, the music changes and this really cool song comes on and you drag your friends to the dancefloor and danced your way through every song.... it's so darn H-I-G-H.....

and not to mention, the amount of people watching i indulged in when i was resting from dancing and drinking. couples were all over each other. girls in their short skirts and skimpy tops dirty dancing with guys they barely knew.

hehe... new experience for mel man... and the drinks there were nice and fruity... quite low in alchohol content so was sober... but had to be coz had to look after some people....

and guys were coming up to us, me and my girl friends, to dance with us and buy drinks for us... hehe.. but we just ignored them. it was like a girls' night out and stuff and we had a great time dancing with each other so what the heck. and the guys looked kinda creepy and dodgy too. this guy even pulled me to dance with him and i stopped, stared at him then walked back to my friends. and he wasn't like the first man. geez... i don't mind dancing with guys that i know but definitely not guys that i don't know. coz the next min, i saw that particular guy dancing with this young girl and had his hands all over her....

so all in all... it was a fun night out and tiana, you owe me one ya??? hehe....

XOXO mel who just had her first clubbing night....

old times sake...

omigosh... am still darn surprised by everything that has been going on back in m'sia man.....

1st, ai chen is going to take her balck belt.... hee, never in my wildest dreams would i think that she would go on training till so long, not to mention, hold on to it for soooo long. i still remember her saying that since me and yi xian gone already, she would prob quit it, in fact she said she'd DEFINITELY quit!! hehe, now she's gonna be a black belt like me.... oh gosh, this is so surreal...

2nd, xin nee just has her 1st boyfriend. still don't know who the lucky guy is but he better know that with us girls by xin nee's side, he better not mess with her.

3rd, all my primary and sec school friends are getting together, as in in a relationship!! geez, it makes me feel so old. no specific reason, but it just makes me feel like i'm 60 going on 70 or something like that. maybe i'm still clinging on to that image of all of us being in secondary school, playing and laughing our way through life. but now, we're like young adults with our university courses in front of us, careers to think about, new friends to get used to and in some cases (actually it's most cases) my friends have special people that they can relate.... this just makes me more nolstalgic about the past....

but as my HOI essay question says about futurism, it's no use dwelling on the past. the preent and future is more worth your time and effort.

heck, i just miss the old times man...

but i'm not going to trade my college year to relive secondary school again... coz i enjoy my time here in melb...

i guess life just goes on whether you want it or not....

and time is ticking... so i'd better get back to my HOI essay....

drama mama mia!!!

well, a girl know when she's wrong about something and she's not afraid to admit it....

hehe, yep, i've been wrong about our drama going down the drain... in fact, i think we accomplished quite a lot in 1 and a half hours.... well, we did a lot of playing (stephan always say we have to play warm up games... so sujana here goes, "es ca do es ca do..." yep, suj, the game was pretty lame but still, it's been pretty cool to see rui xi been whacked by you... and rui xi, i know it's so not fair right??hee...) , planning and a fair bit of teasing each other....hehe....

we all have our roles and i get to play the domineering mother and nicholas is my poor husband and i have two sons... suj and nell... and nell, next time eat dinner before you come lah..... tell you so may times already lah....hehe next time i buy fries for you lah....nell's this guy from macau and he's really nice and darn talkative... always teasing my chinese.... and rui xi... sweet, cute rui xi is the grandmother...

then after talking about the roles for a few minutes, we realise that rui xi who's the absolute youngest (bday being in november and going on 17) is playing the oldest character and nell who is like 20 is the younger son....hehe... irony man....

still , i must say my drama group rocks.... yes, even sujana and his imaginary girlfriend, isabelle.... they are such funny people....

twiddle thumbs....

sometimes you think that no one notices you... then suddenly, people start coming up to you and they talk a hell lot about anything and everything under the sun.... well... that's great i suppose....

waiting at swanston st for my drama rehearsal...somehow, i don't think i'll be doing quite well in drama this time though my group rocks... i guess it's like brain freeze or brain drain or something like that....

never did had any problems with ideas for drama as i use to have tonnes of them in sec school... but now it's like....

(insects hum and buzz in the background)

it's like NADA..... geez...

how frustrating....

shall not give up... my medical profession on the line here....

oh and maddie should be in darwin by now.... maddie, take care and all of us here will miss you lots when you go to china... and i think you are darn cool for spending one year helping the children in china to master english... you rock maddie!!

and i'm waiting to hear you speak chinese when you come back alright??? not to mention, bring back lotsa juicy gossip about your 5 months there....

gosh, i'm missing you already....

XOXO

peace rally....

met up with maddie, jasmine, pooja and crystal for "choc by the bald man"... yes, that's melbournian slang for max brenner's... and i got souffle which was awesome yet again and never ceases to amaze me with the rich texture....

then as we were walking out, there was this peace rally thing for palestinians, israelis and nuclear power... something like that.... and maddie, being the human rights activist out of all of us, stooped to talk to some of the people and we ended up staying at the rally infront of the state... it was really hyped up, i must say... speakers from diff levels of society and there was even more people milling about distributing flyers, talking to people and selling buttons and newsletters and books.... the whole enchilada... so many people passionate about something is really something to see and experience... and this was my 1st time at a peace rally....

but then again, i was thinking and jasmine was saying something along the lines of this: "so what if we organise a peace rally in melb when the suffering is happening in israel or palestine or whatever??" i mean would the politicians really care about what a group of people with placards and microphones are chanting?? would they really change their minds about policies and decisions?? would war stop just because we are chanting "stop the war!! no justice, no peace!!"??? or is it about the emotional support that the demonstrators are showing??? or to garner more attention from the media??? but can the media really influence what the top people are thinking and doing??

i guess i'm much too under informed and young to know how rallies work... but i must say that i have to admire their passion, courage and determination for doing what they are doing....they do it oh-so-tirelessly and without losing steam.... for going up to random people and talking about topics taht are sensitive to some....

well, i guess people do what they believe is right and they do all that they can to live life to the fullest. if they think that doing this peace rally thing is their thing, then go ahead.. after all, tehy aren't hurting anybody... it's a PEACE RALLY.... and it IS a free world.... anyone is free to express their beliefs and opinions and passions...

if they don't cross the boundaries that is....

souvenirs from the rally.... and yes, pooja, i'm a green person.. i can recycle all these flyers....hehe
i got all these from the millions of people who came up and talked to me about the war.... women for palestine... i love the flower emblem on the flyer.... it's so pure and... so fragile...

Saturday, August 05, 2006

high, high, high, high, HIGH.....

ooooh, am still high from last night's little escapade....yes, me, shaleen and janice had a great time again on friday night...

1st,we worked our butts off at gym to start with.... what a way to start the weekend off man... burning calories was super fun with friends... and we were making fun of the girl who was conducting the body attaak class. shaleen was saying how fit and buff the girl was and she IS REALLY FIT AND BUFF MAN!!!! then we caught her yelling to the class in this creepy booming voice of hers... "BURN!!! BURN THEM ALL!!" and we were like "WHAAAAAT????!! THAT'S SCARY!!!" she's liek a witch or something... then we heard her say.... in that booming voice of hers menacingly, "BURN THE FATS!! FEEL THEM BURN!!!!" then we were like (blink blink) "ORRRRH.....THAT'S WHAT SHE MEANT!!!" geez... then we tumbled around laughing and gasping for air.....

2nd, after the workout, we went for viet food.... again, yums and healthy!!!sigh...

3rd, as we were walking past melb central, janice said oh-so-casually, "you know what i want now?? i need something sweeeet...." and our eyes were like "tiiiing" lighted up instantly.... and we were like homing missiles on automated mode, heading straight for Max Brenner's.....

4th, on the way to max b, i said, "geez, i feel like watching a movie now...." and shaleen immediately said, "the lake house" and zooooom... off we went to HOYTS to buy tickets...

it was like so spontaneous...liek we were all in sync or something man... and we talked so much at max b taht we almost missed the 1st part of the show man....hehe..... too much to talk liao....

and teh movie rocks... all of us agree on taht.... and shaleen, we are still waiting to see you cry ya???? hehe....

timeline...

well, today was quite fun man... it's like a break from all the studying and researching and stuff.

8am my alarm clock rang.. i snoozed it and went back to sleeeeep....zzzz....
8.10am i snoozed the alarm yet again and went back to sleeeeep....
8.20am i snoozed the alarm for the 3rd time and went bac to sleeeep....

8.50am i told myself must wake up NOW but zzzzzz...........
9.00am i really told myself must get out of bed NOW..... and i;m proud to say that i did....
9.10am sitting around in my room with minty fresh breath after brushing teeth and super alert eyes after washing face.... n i got this seriously good brainstorm : to browse at borders to start my day!!
9.20am i reached borders but it was only open at 9.30am so i went to hungry jack's and bought pancakes.... super yums!!
9.40am i reach borders again and browsed... trying to find persuasion by jane austen and you've got mail DVD.... from last night's the lake house.... such a romantic movie man....
10.15am couldn't find either so rushed to swanston st to atttend chem replacement lecture....

then in the afternoon, me, janice tan and peh and jin sern and pong went to myers for shopping spree... at least the guys had a good time shopping.... and jin sern arh, no need to be such a good boy k?? if your parents say can buy sweaters, then just buy... don't call them and tell them crap like 'but i feel abit guilty buying lah like i spend toooo much cash lah'.... helllooooeeee.....excuse me but if your parents are nice enough to ALLOW you to buy, just SHOP lah....geez.....

PQA....

just had my PQA, this med admission test into uni of adelaide...

and omg, it was so darn funny, the questions....

they ask questions like whether children crying is a sign that something is wrong or whether it's just their need for attention and you should just ignore them...

and they ask like whether you're a leader in your group... so of course, you would say yes lah... that's like standard lies to get through to the next stage... classic lie i would say....

and the Mel that i put down on the answer sheet is a bit unlike the Mel that's me... honestly, they are never even honest to goodness answers.. just some make up answers to make yourself look good or something.... it's kinda pathetic that you have to resort to something like that to get into medc... but then again, the next stage would be much much much much tougher... it's the dreaded interview and i have to go all the way to adelaide for THAT.... sigh..... worth it???

hmmmm... and just had donuts from that small shop in melb central... it used to be soooo good, but now it just tastes dodgy and kinda yucky....sigh, there goes my fave donuts....

now, am off to the gym to work off all those extra calories....hehe.... luckily i had two only, the jam and nutella one and qiqi had the other 4 and she treated me... probably because she finished like two rows of my lovely lovely lovely cadbury milk choc yesterday night and took up my beauty sleeeep hours....hehe.... and i had to practically drag her out the door from albert house on the phone to the PQA thingy coz she still happily eating her lunch....hehe... you owe me lots, qi...

I'll Be

I've always love this song as it brings back fond memories of the past that i can never get back anymore.

But i'm not regretting the choice i made. in fact, i'm darn proud that i had the courage to do it. it's not entirely for myself, though it is a large part of it...

i guess life goes on... and i'm loving every day of it.

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love

I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll Be your cryin' shoulder
I'll Be love suicide
I'll Be better when I'm older
I'll Be the greatest fan of your life

Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll Be your cryin' shoulder
I'll Be love suicide
I'll Be better when I'm older
I'll Be the greatest fan of your life

I've dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, remembered the things you said

I'll Be your cryin' shoulder
I'll Be love suicide
I'll Be better when I'm older

I'll Be the greatest fan of your life

cherry tomatoes = heaven

eating my juicy red cherry tomatoes now.... and they are chilled and some of them are sweet and some of them are sour. hehe.... yums!!

and just want to say mike heald rocks!! i love his lectures... and his dry sense of humour.... hee...

had a mind and nerve racking morning with student services and it was no joke i tell you. had to convince them of something that i believe in and worked hard for..... and now, it's still in the tentative balance and it's killing my sanity no doubt but at least they seemed convinced by yours truly but still...everything is in their hands and i tell you it's not good like that AT ALL...

but i went to the gym to work off some steam and it was awesome... went for this class call body jam and it was really hopping man!!! it's like a combi of dance and aerobics...super choreographed adn it has my fave element - dance!! we did sean paul and miisy elliot and some latin group.... really cool... everyone was like relaxing and dancing away... the atmosphere was so darn high....wheeeee........and teh music was pumping in your ears and you are lije moving to it....it was like theraphy for me man....

sigh......(warm fuzzy feeling in tummy)......niiiiice..............

talk about guys ego....

had japanese food for dinner today and it was yums as usual.. too bad i didn't get to eat my greek food at my fave greek restaurant, stalactites today as it was close.... and i absolutely love their meat platter and the dips are heavenly.... and the good thing is it's open 24 hours a day 7 days a week but it was closed today and yesterday.... melbourne has really good food man... like there's vietnamese restaurants all over the place esp swanston st and there's italian pizza and pasta at lyogn st just 5 mins away from albert house and then there's chinese food at bourke st... that's like chinatown and i still remember the dim sum restaurant that shaleen brought us to.... we had such full tummies after that.... not to mention my all time fave dessert - max brenner's!!! the bald guy with the super delish chocolate and my fave of all faves the belgian waffle!! geez, m drooling thinking about it man....

anyways, jin sern burst into my room and demanded that i record in my blog that the second own goal was actually scored by him... hehe.... guys' ego so darn big!! he wants me to write this:

the own goal is actually scored by him... he was one inch away from teh ball and wanted to kick it in but the other defender accidentally took it away and kicked it in....

geez.... talk about super huge pride....hehe.... see, jin sern, i wrote it in for the world to see....

it's over for goodness sake so let it go ya??? remember to breathe....

and you suck at mystic inn lah... your reflexes are really slow man....

had a great time at dinner today... me and shaleen and janice tan and yi yu had a blast making fun at each other today on the way back from the jap restaurant. it's been quite soem time since i last felt so relaxed.... actually i feel relaxed everyday....heehee... the stress of college....

2) 4 tubs of yoghurt light - i love yoghurt

3) 3 boxes of strawberries - $2.95 per box...and mum says a lot of antioxidants

the world cup continues... and someone becomes the 3rd cripple in albert house....

well, today was a soccer crazy day for me. lotsa soccer action and plenty of photo opportunities...
albert house had a soccer team and so we, the girls had to take up our cheerleading responsibilities and cheer the guys on... so we went all the way to clifton hills and stayed there till the guys ended the matches. too bad even with so many girls there giving them semangat, they lost 3 out of 4 matches. but the last match, they made a comeback and jonathan scored one goal and then the other team scored one for us. OWN GOAL!!!! yaaaay...

yeah yeah yeah... it wasn't exactly scored by our own albert house guys but hey!! you should always be glad with what you get!! make lemonade out of lemons. make choc out of cocoa beans. whatever they say it. and joel got a broken fibula that he had to get it check out at st vincent's. poor guy.... don't worry joel. we will all be your slaves for the 3 weeks you'll be crippled. and the guys miss you at the match.
yes, here are the guys huddled together after the 4th match. and that's the man of the hour, jonathan in yellow...













yes, that's neo with his super uber funky pose....

and next to him is the captain of albert house team, leslie, a great captain and a great footballer and a really hilarious guy

and the 3rd one is jin sern
















all the guys tired out already....and again neo with his trademark pose....sheesh....
and andrew with his butt-that-got-molested-and-was-hurting-like-hell-and-a-1st-aider-had-to-out-ice-on-it.....but this picture was pre-butt-molestation episode.... and molested was not the word i chose to use here.... it was from his own mouth....

and the rest of the guys...

steven the goalie who saved thousands of balls... yay him!!!

and shafiq our cool striker... and that guy in red who pushed shafiq better be careful.....








and not forgetting the girls...

taht's me and janice, fellow mp3 lovers...this was on teh train to clifton hills....i was listening to My Confessiom by Josh Groban and janice was listening to...hmm... i think it was one of her super nice korean tracks or some obscure singer that has super cool vocals...janice, u can get up so early some more... kudos to you...hehe




and janice tan who woke up really early considering she is always late and cannot even wake up for college...and lilian who has really pretty clothes always....fellow train sitters....hehe









and this is the 3 girls who always sleeeeep.....zzzz..... qiqi, shyanne and chris wong... always the sleepyheads....

even on the train also can sleeeeeep....

cannot even wake up at 8am to catch teh train....

we had to wait for them sooooo long loh....






and beng sze and tiana...another 2 who are always sleeeeeeping too.... had to wake tiana up too .... but beng sze look super alert here... coffee anyone???? i think she looks hyper here...like huge sugar rush...







and then we came back and went to hungry jacks for tea and e and qiqi bought a value meal for joel and his crippled leg...poor guy... cannot walk somemore. if we know who kick him, we'll do twice the damage to HIS leg...(evil laugh)....no one messes with albert house people....hehe....

disturbances...

suppose to do my homework now but SOMEONE came in and interrupted my studying...

actually was reading my super nice daniel silva book- the confessor... very dan brown-ish but more action i would think and lotsa talk about assasins and the catholic church....then 2 SOMEONES barged in and started 'serenading' me.....hehe....

then they took over my room and then started jamming RIGHT here in my ROOM!!!

grrrr.....

but i must say the music is GOOD....

hehe....
tomorrow's their audition.....

good luck to them then......

choc addict on the rampage

oooh, went to bridge road this sunday and saw some sweaome clothes for formal night and dressy occasions. but they are pretty expensive, compared to the gown i bought in s'pore. and mine's nicer i think...hehe...

but there are really interesting shops there. saw this organic food stuff shop...actually its more of like a supermarket.. an organice super huge supermarket that sells even organic choc to organic tea and coffee...super cool. thats like MY shop man...its all so cool man...

here's my organic choc which i'm addicted to

green and black's organic choc.... super yummy and totally guilt less treat for myself....

and did i mention that its oh-so-creamy???!! and the milk and four and sugar and cocoa beans are ALL organic!! can u believe that???sigh....

shouldve bought more....

then i went to big W and saw this whole big shelf filled with cadbury's super large size chockies!!

and i bought this one with the mint chips... but it wasn't as good as i thought it would be...being a sucker for mint choc, was kinda dissapointed coz the mint chips in it was too chunky and it was too tangy for my taste.... so m gonna buy the milk choc one next time i go to big W.... coz itz on offer!!! YAAAAY!!!


hehe...

choc sooo rules man....

it makes me happy....

(munching choc now) i'm in heaven now....

ahhhhh..............

UMAT oh UMAT....

just had my umat test today and can i say it really is so darn tough??!!

would just like to rant a bit thatz all...

geez, my brain almost stopped working there and then. the IQ test is a killer man... can't even see the stoopid link for all the pictures, just blindly guess and tikam loh (courtesy of years in the m'sian edu system...hehe) and the logic reasoning is like the ultimate man... they give you a whole BIG CHUNK of writing and they give one short answer that requires you to thrawl through big, big words and mind boggling statistics... my mind is that of an 18 year old, not a super hyper computer that has thousands of MB or GB or whatever you call it to sort through the crap and nonsense and pick out the right information man. well i guess now doctors are like super huge computer with databases on every single meds produced and even herbal and traditional meds then....

heck, nearly couldnt wake up today to catch the tram. reached about 10 mins before the reporting time which is pretty good since i stopped by hungry jack's for a breakky muffin then to 7 eleven to buy a tram ticket. and i bet i looked like an idiot running to and fro tram stops coz i missed one of my stops and missed tram 70 that was supposed to bring me to teh centre straight. instead, i stupidly (my brain doesnt work that early in the morn i think) took another tram that i got down from halfway and had to stand in the freaking cold for another tram to bring me to the centre. could've just take THAT tram straight. should've, could've, would've. but obviously didn't.... hehe.

still made it there in good time and managed to see natalie there. she wants to do physio i remember. and half the candidates are aussies man. even the asians have aussie accents so that means that they ARE lcoals or they just studied here like... i don't know, half their lives?? so its darn initmidating man to see them so confident and so fast when answering....geez....

no, must have self confidence, mel...

hehe...

off to do my homework that's been piling up for weeks and days....

mel's list to do:
1) HOI essay- actually finish research and start on draft
2) EAP mini oral plan - actually decide which article i'm going to do and not go back and forth on 3 articles
3) actually know what acid and base chapter in chem means
4) actually DO my maths 1A homework and understand what it means and not blindly follow the examples
5) actually revise my bio chapter 3 about RNA and understand it
6) actually concentrate on my yearbook (my baby!!)

man, the list is already making me dizzy with the effort....

wait, i missed out one more...

7) actually find people for the auction

and just thought of another one...

8) organise my hair clips and accerssories

and yet another one...

9) vacuum my room'
10) check out fitnss first
11)do a bit of reading...i feel so darn rusty and 'dry' from not reading good books.... darn it...

so much to do, so little time...

better get off the net...like NOW!!

sigh....

life goes on...

losing control part 2

term 3 is underway again and as i said before for term 2, it sucks and rocks at the same time...

much as i am incoherant some of the time, i really DO think that term 3 has ups and downs man...

like the hoi essay i'm doing, blaaaah.....its so darn hard and so darn wearisome but what the heck, hoi essay is compulsory and its dealing with a modern art movement that influenced politics, social context etc. well, the research and plan part of it is tough but the subject is quite cool i think...

anywayz, yearbook is getting on pretty well but katyana and gloria left the committee so its like double work for all of us now...

well, good luck to me then....
