---------------------------------------------------------------

BLANK friday night
it's finally friday night. and for once, i'm alone with nothing to do.

last week, there was the msia soc. dance party.
the week before, we had a party at our apartment where becks and eugene puked.
the week before last, my hsemates and i cooked and played cards at home and i went to vbar with terence & friends.
and then, it was cooking with terence and i was in this place called malaysia.

somehow today feels like a very lonely night.
-_- yawns.

however, i had a date with terence today.
haha. it was really a date where i saw him for a FEW hours and he left.
not very interesting though coz i had assignments to do at the city and i was PMS-ing and was being pissy and emotional.
not too good for him too coz he had to deal with irritating me.
and was late because of me sorrysorrysorry

when he left, i met Raymond at market city and we did grocery shopping
:)

i am tired. i am tired.
i am bored. i feel like clubbing.. DAYMN

---------------------------------------------------------------

i had cooking lessons from raymond at the end...

it was fun :)

(pics up tmr.. now's time to sleep... zZz...)

something that i came across and liked...

Marshmallows and Wine by Sara Haghdoosti

Lust
Hunger reflected in two eyes,
Beads of sweat glistering on heated flesh
Rapid breaths, pounding hearts
The soft silence of satisfaction

Passion
Crumpled sheets in midday,
Crystal glasses, tinted with the red residue of discarded wine.
Fluffy marshmallows in a morning's hot chocolate,
Dried ebony dust from last night's flame.

Love
The curve of a smile
The resounding smell of aftershave forever entwined in soft sheets
Gentle laughter flowing naturally,
Two hands, lying on each other peacefully.

Life
Small indulgences that make it all worth while

of baked beans and smelly fart.

im having a headache from too much sleep and too little studying.

Because I couldn't wake up this morning, Terence cooked baked beans and egg for breakfast, which caused me to fart excessively (and smelly too). i told Fen,my youngest brother what happened today on msn.

Fen, I farted a lot today u know.
Really? Must be because you ate baked beans. Damn smelly right?
WHao. How did u know that?!?!
Baked beans make u fart
-_-"

whao. My youngest bro is SMART.
or maybe he's just telling from experience.

on the other hand, I finally got my ninja turtle happy meal toy from Mackers on friday.





the Malaysian Societies in Mac Uni, USYD, UNSW and UTS organized a dance party at Space again last Friday night. Coincidentally, (or maybe it was planned) they had a Malaysian Soc. dance party at the exact date last year, which was the exact same night that I met Terence.

Anyways, we were there early so we played pool and watched Raymond gamble.



Then we went up and got drinks and danced :)





Overall, the dance party were pretty awesome. The music was good (R&B) but it was pretty repeatitious towards the end, which kinda sucks.

The next two days, I repeatitiously ate and slept like a pig. Ask anyone.

economists are mean mean people.

ok, they aren't.
my lecturer sucks, that's all.
she is some china woman who can't converse in english fluently as she takes a long time trying to think of what she has to say, which makes me (and the world) not understand what she is trying to convey.
ie: good morning. er. i am your teacher. urm. for today. urm...
DON'T YOU FEEL LIKE PULLING YOUR HAIR JUST HEARING THAT?!?!


and econ is getting pretty tough -_-
YUCKS.
i spent the whole of yesterday night cramming up my tute questions
it was SO DAMN tough.
we didnt learn any math at all but we were expected to do calculation questions.

when i went for my tute today,
he asked how many people struggled in the question
most of us raised our hands.
when made me feel heaps better
but when he solved the problem and asked
how many people got that right,
there were quite a lot of people as well.
o_O
stupid smart ass holes.

ECON TEST NEXT WEEK.
I AM quite screwed unless i study 5/6 hrs a day
welcome to my life
gaah!!!

---------------------------------------

"i'm hungry" she wined as she gobbled down the last spoonfull of her maggi mee in my mug.
"i feel like eating eggs" he said. "I'm going home to fry eggs."
"ei. cook for me fried rice also" she asked. " I have some leftover rice that you can use"
"ok" he said and left.

she went home after long stressfull minutes/hours of doing econ tute questions and found something waiting for her...



thanks Raymond for the fried rice :)
it was pretty DARN good.
- btw, that was very little coz Raymond ate a lot of it too -

"you don't just torture me do u?" terence said later that night.
"i dont torture you!!! besides, instead of just eggs, he had something better, FRIED RICE with EGG!!!"
muahahhahah :)

my hsemates had a party yesterday night!!!

we were playing drinking games and we had heaps of GOON (real cheap disgusting wine) and Smirnoff and Ruski and dunno-what else.

Terence was doing his assignment in the room but when he came out, they (and I) made him drink alco and he became tipsy like all of us.

It was funny.

At the end of the day, everyone was tipsy and a few were really drunk and Eugene and Becks threw up on the table and in the sink.

-_-

It was DAMN disgusting.
but it was fun :)

i have succeeded. i studied for blardee two hours.. but now, i am not.

'_'

had dinner with my hsemates today. The newest guy, Raymond is now here so we are complete :). it was pretty good, surprisingly. I had heaps of fun.

Studied with Kenneth in the meeting room today. Raymond initially joined us but left coz he was bored and underproductive *teeheehee* Kenneth taught me some taekwondo self-defence stuff (at our break) but the slow learner i am, well.. learnt slowly.

I think Terence and another ex of mine taught me self defence too, but i forgot everything...
(i hope i wont get punched for this)

Today, I learnt how to do the sidekick and 45 degrees kick. (and some other stuff too)
I can officially kick anyone's balls from now on.
MUAHAHAHAHA...

*evil grin*

still trying very hard...

i learnt how to play poker today. i kept loosing fake money.
:(

i failed studying real hard again. Tmr my hsemates and I are booking a meeting room at SUV (the place that I live) to study at night.

i hope it works.
i hope we don't end up talking.
i.must.get.good.grades.
x fingers crossed x

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
im hungry again. for the forth time since 7pm.

but...
I cooked dinner! (burnt vege & meat & soup)
I was FULL!!!
I drank HEAPS of soup!!! (and water)
I ate a lot.

maltesers are on the cupboard.
tim tams are on my right.
but ulcers infested my mouth (and tongue) and camped & multiplied,
causing me much pain and sorrow as i gobble down DELICIOUS UNHEALTHY food.

seriously. i think i have this tendency to be disgusting and nonsensical.
wrong place, wrong time.

life is good



however, i need to start studying. seriously.

been bugging around a lot recently.. i guess im just a lazy fat arse.

'_'

I finally watched Brokeback Mountain today with Jadyn, Alan and Terence. Alan is this Malaysian fella who is doing Geology because of the Petronas Scholarship. He made a lot of noise at the obscene scenes.. Aussie movies seriously don't sensor anything..

Eventhough I live in Newtown (where there are HEAPS of gays and lesbians), I still find some scenes quite disturbing. As an overall, i think that the movie was not too bad but quite slow-paced. I wouldn't say that I liked it a lot but... HMPH... *still trying to get the mental image of two gays kissing outta my mind*

owh well...

Uni. continues. tomorrow.
torture. starts. now

KAREN HAS A NEW LAYOUT and according to her, it rawks.
(thanks to Karen Marie who helped me with the layout)

Yesterday was one of those days when my hsemates and i kinda bonded together.

Shiing (my hsemate), Eugene, Becks and I went to IGA to buy food and we cooked dinner at my apartment. It was kinda funny coz Shiing is only one who really knows how to cook, Becks thinks that cooking is like playing masak-masak, Eugene was paranoid abt the amt of food, water, salt.. etc.. to cook and I kept running in and out of my room coz I have a new layout (yaay!) with enormous help from Karen Marie

The food was pretty good, although we cooked too much.

We watched movie too. And drank beer.

And played Chor Dai Dee with Kenneth, my hsemate.

Until Terence called me...

terence: I have one good news and one bad news...
karen: okayy... what is it
terence: the good news is, I won a scholarship.
karen: *gasp* yaay. (super happy for the fella but extremely jealous as well)
terence: the bad news is it's Justin's bday so we're going to clubbing at the City.
karen: okayy.. (i don't get why it's bad news)

So I warned him not to flirt/touch/make eye contact with any girl & continued playing cards.
15 mins late, i received another phone call from him...

terence: I am a very bad boyfriend
karen: err.. owhkayy ...
terence: do you wanna come to the city with us?
karen: sure. Where are you guys going to?
terence: We're not sure.

So i met them at V-Bar (not clubbing.. <-- dammit) and I followed them back. The rest of the story is boring...

anyway, CONGRATS TERENCE LEUNG ON YOUR SCHOLARSHIP
now that u are richer, maybe u can FINALLY get me a car and a nine west bag..
hehehe XOXOXO :p

last year, karen went for mardi gras too.



MARDI GRAS was extremely crowded, back and leg ache-y, very touching and a lil freaky. Nevertheless, i did enjoy myself heaps.

Terence and I met Jadyn at 7pm at the City. By that time, there were already heaps of people walking towards Oxford Street, where the parade was held. There were people selling milk crates, chairs, and people sitting on roofs, etc just so that they can see the parade. It was so FREAKING crowded!!! (Btw. the parade was sceduled to start at 7.45pm)

I took this picture while walking towards somewhere, ANYWHERE that was less crowded



During the parade...


Brokeback Mountain is about this story abt Two Gay Cowboys who fell in love. I heard that the movie is really good.. I wanna watch it this weekend or sth.. I don't GET that banner btw.


I think it's supposed to be GALS WITH GAY PALS but the camera was shaky and slow and blur that's why the photos kinda suck


The fella actually whipped the woman real hard.


awww.. sweet. :)


Jadyn and I at Mardi Gras. The place is SOoooo packed!!!




BUT WAIT!!!! there are Gay and Lesbian Catholics?!?! To me, That's kinda freaky...



We took this pic from Mackers after Mardi Gras.
I kinda like this pic.. Terence looks depressed.. haha..

I might post more pics at multiply. It really depends whether Im lazy or not..

Yesterday, however was spent at Birkenhead Point and cooking dinner.

Birkenhead Point is a factory outlet place that has heaps of stores like French Connection, Nine West, Withery, Dotti, Country Road and etc... Some stuff are pretty cheap but others were not. I couldn't find for any nice/cheap nine west bags.. :(



One store that caught my attention was 'Reject China' which sold cheap kitchenware.. The name of the store is sooo insulting!!



Terence and I bought a top from French Connection each. I was contemplating whether I shd get a bag from Fcuk but when I got back to re-SEE the bag, it was gone.. ARGH!





yes.. we are CRAP posers..

CLASS today was alright. Boring but manageable. I have no tutes this week so I only have classes till Weds :)

i'm scared.
i was so scared that when i saw a cockroach today, i screamed and screamed so loudly that the people ouside heard me and immitated me.
ASSHOLES!!!


it's my first night alone since i returned to Sydney.
my other days were spent with the boyfriend.

you know the feeling you get when you're alone in a strange deserted land? it's the feeling that i have now. after being around people for so long, it feels odd being alone again. it feels too quite. i feel too alone..

thank god for msn messenger , 20 cents flat rate phone calls in australia and music. of not for all these, i would have broken down and cried.. or i would run back to the arms of a dissapointed boyfriend.

the first night alone is the toughest of all. if i can get through tonight, i can get through anything. if i can kill cockroaches, i can kill flies and lizards too.. i think.

the uni's o-week (orientation week) starts tomorrow. i went to macquarie's orientation today and had heaps of fun and freebies :)
