First day back at uni wasn't too bad :) meeting up friends again and meeting new ppl.. readjusting the bio-clock is a bummer, but hopefully it'll happen soon.

Sydney randoms

man, can't believe uni starts in two days.. i'm missing everything about this holiday already.

I think i learnt abit more about myself over the last few weeks, and opened eyes to issues always known to be there, but never got around to addressing. God does things to and through your life, and just kind of availing myself to the changes.

Also, if you ever wanted to know something about someone, just ask, and more often than not, they're quite happy to talk to someone about it :) lol. There's a balance of caution and not holding back that everyone struggles with, so here's to finding the balance.

Anyway, while in Sydney, we checked out this little market by The Rocks; here's some funny t-shirt slogans we found at a stall there :)

'I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on'

'yeah, be reasonable. pfft.'

Since i reformatted my com, i've lost the photo editting program, and have yet to download a new one. There's probably an easy way to make my vertical pics vertical, but i'm kind of com-illiterate :P teach me if you can! lol.

ok, this one is slightly mean..

but this is really cute! lol

There was this other stall that sold these costume masks.

the shop owner.
pity i didn't get a shot of him talking in that thing! funny as! lol

Rawr
Andrew, Stephen and Swee.
Hahah Swee does a very adorable/convincing terrified look!

After we snapped that shot, the owner informed us it was $2 to take a picture with the masks. Being asian, we immediately said 'ohh', thanked him and left. lol.

Also while in Sydney, a bunch of us went to use the ladies, and found this stuck on the wall:

(again, its sideways! sorry!)
How awesome is this dispenser??
They should totally have this in Melb, it would be a lifesaver for many a women found in crisis.

In your atmosphere

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 05:32:49 GMT

I don't think i'm going to LA anymore. I don't think i'm going to LA anymore. I'm gonna steer clear, burn up in your atmosphere. Cos i'd die if i saw you, die if i didn't see you there..

Where ever i go, whatever i do, wonder where i am in my relationship to you. Where ever you go. Where ever you are. i watch your life play out in pictures from afar.

Got my results back for the semester, and got 3HDs and 2 distinctions. Thank God for seeing me through those stressed out moments and times i thought i may not make it. This change may work out well, after all :)

Got back from the Hillsongs/Sydney trip yesterday, and it was the awesomeness ever! lol. lack of sleep, great ppl, yummy food, and awesome awesome conference words, worship n teaching. So looking forward to next years :) you guys should really sign up if you can! no regrets at all!

Will post some pics and more updates on the conference soon, but for now, here's some pics of the last few months and our Mt. Dandenong trip a couple of weeks back. Really fun day!

Jess in Melb!

Lunch at GAS.

L-R : Sheri, me, Swee, Kevin, Josh, Sherman

Cal and Cheng, the Brother Jon's mascots :) lol

Brother Jon's is this nice, quaint, family-runned restaurant up Mt. Dande that has a lil wedding chapel-esqe touch to it. They have a pretty garden out back for wedding picture-taking, a cottage for the honeymoon/wedding prepping and even an exclusive pretty bathroom for the bride n bridegroom to get ready in! really sweet

Cheng, waiting on his bride

L-R : Swee, Sheri, me, Jill

oh its another social casualty; score one more for me... i'm never speaking up again, it only hurts me. i'd rather be a mystery, than she deserting me.
i'm never speaking up again, i'm never speaking up again, i'm never speaking up again.

Monday, the twenty second of June

'whoa, your love is like bad medicine...'

haha doing some studying with itunes playing thru my songlist by artists, and as it hits Bon Jovi's, man, i can't help but feel like i've been transported to another time :) lol.

'.. whoa, shake it up, just like bad medicine, ain't no doctor that can cure my disease..'

exams have gone well so far, despite the major stressing over the first 3 papers, i reckon things should be ok. I'm slightly stressed about the final paper, but i believe after thurs afternoon, i'll be feeling fine about it.

big shout-out to josh shin -> all the best w ur studying dude, and hope ur doing good over there :)

CG social on friday's gonna be futsal and Transformers, to celebrate the beginning of short term freedom till next sem :) the bunch of us head out to Sydney for Hillsongs conference on the 6th, and between then i envision lazy mornings, chilling and catching up with ppl i haven't seen in a while (jane, jovial, amanda C! have to catch up this hols!)

my mom's just left to go back to m'sia tonight.. i gave her a bigg hug when she left. gonna miss having her here.

my playlist seems attracted to oldies!

'you find me there, you'll search no more..'

bryan adams was the shizzle for ballads. love the instrumental in there. :)

*warbles melody

its one of those days where..

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 07:43:08 GMT

... you wake up and look in the mirror and hate your hair, cos its too long/too short/too thick/just not working for you

... you stare at your notes and your mind wanders off topic every 2 sentences

... you silently curse your lecturer for not knowing how to get to the point in his lecture slides

... you silently curse your lecturer for giving ambiguous open-ended information that's so detailed in the unnecessary as well as necessary processes

... you silently curse your lecturer for not knowing how to stay on topic while lecturing, resulting in haphazard note-taking in the margins that is not even related to the topic of that weeks' discussion

... and again for committing typos that camoflauge themselves in sentences that look credible, confusing you later when another weeks' slides disproves said sentence (zzzzomg)

.

its just one of those days stress and frustration gets the better.

deep breath.

101 ways to kill a spider

Sat, 09 May 2009 11:16:45 GMT

Count down to finals: 33 days

i've been working on this lit review for lipids since Easter, and its been driving me ka-razy...! man. Didn't help that i'd mistaken the due date to be a month earlier, hence stressing out to finish it for 2 weeks. Since then, the motivation to finish it has been really hard to come by. lol.

Anyway, i hope to finish it by early next week in preparation of Camp next weekend :) Campaspe, here we come!

Nothing much has been new, other than assignments and preparing for finals.

The office building opposite my balcony has been built, so yay, no more construction sounds :)

built.

Also, since the spider incident-fiasco at Swee's house (resulting in vacuuming up said-spider), i've kept my window shut from 5pm onwards (apparently they come out more in the evenings). If it could happen on a 15th floor, i say, never, never say never.

Here's the video she googled as research for our task that day; hope you'll never have to use it!:

one of the comments below the video said:

"The best way to get spiders is to spray them with hairspray. Watch them go stiff when they try to run away. "

. sadistic.
