The Trip back Home.

And I still live! I made it home safely. LOL. I was just too lazy to post. Yeah, karaoke on the 17th was good. Umm.. Chris sang the most hilarious and befitting song for his personality. Sharon was excellent (Konayuki is such a beautiful song). Nat was way cute. Moo-chan... surprised everyone. It was good fun but as expected, not everyone could take in his eccentricities properly. Well, can't expect most people to be accepting. Vu was damn hilarious. His song was made up of nothing but peaches, and then David walked in, saw Vu singing his lungs off... sort of walked out and came back again and did a quick prayer. I was laughing my head off. I took videos of most of my friends at the karaoke. Incomplete videos since I didn't have the memory. There was lots of nice and yummy food at the karaoke, I ate so much I got full from it even though it was just finger food. And pizza! Unfortunately, me, Amanda and Jia Chee had to leave early... so yeah, in the midst of a song sung by Drue and Max (Caulfield one) we slipped away, said some quick goodbyes, gave a hug to Chris and Drue (who was at the front singing ROFL) and ran off. Outside, we ran into Raine and her sister lost so I said bye to her and pointed her to the right direction.

Back at Farrer... it was.. dark, quiet, lonely and the atmosphere was pretty weak. Seems none of us was really that happy. We had some of Sharon (MUISS one, not the Sharon mentioned before) cake. Um... yeah. Eventually Amanda's cousin came. So gave some hugs, said bye to Jonathan whom I will not be seeing next year. On the way to the airport, I sent a mass SMS to everyone from MCAC, saying "See you next year :D <3". It was hilarious, cause everyone at MCAC was eating dinner together after the karaoke, so everyone's phones went off one by one recieving my SMS. Everyone sent a reply one by one also. LOL. Amanda then proceeded to do the same. Then I phoned Bernie and stuff.

The airport was a nightmare. See, normally when it comes to flights, I'M THE FIRST PERSON TO CHECK IN. I'm a really early and strict person. Cause I take after my parents, who are strict with time. Now, here I was.. late. And the line was huge. By the time I managed to check in (I was like at the end of the line and the 4th last to check in), it was 1 hour before the flight. I was told to immediately head to the boarding room. So much for talking to Amanda at the airport, ROFL. So I said some quick goodbyes, went through customs and sat for like 5 minutes before boarding the plane.

Plane was a nightmare. It was cold (thankfully not hot and stuffy) but I couldn't sleep. I was sitting next to a girl from MUISS I think (I feel like I've seen her somewhere...) but we didn't talk at all, since she might have been just a stranger. I was tired, but I couldn't sleep. Watched High School Musical 2, which sucked. Watched a bit of Stardust. The food.. was weird. Had either a choice of quiche or fried rice. I went for the quiche but they gave so little of it. It was like a big container, and BAM. The quiche takes up like less then half of it. T.T

Singapore was a nightmare. I was reallly tired now, it was early morning. I wanted to sleep but I wanted to protect my bags and if I fell asleep I might not wake up until god knows when and might potentially miss my flight. So that was out of the question. So I just sat blankly, read a bit of my novel, bought 2 cookies and ate them. Before boarding my flight. The second flight was boring, but luckily it was only 2 hours so that passed by rather fast. And then finally I got home. It was funny, I got through customs so quickly. And luggage, my bag came right away. I think I got off the plane and to my parents in like 5 minutes. ROFL.

Anyway, home is the same. Life for me has resumed quietly like it was before I went to Australia. I feel like a hikkimori again. Normally I would play something at home with my bro's GF, but she's studying for exams right now. As for friends, I would normally only bother to go and see Liz or Manju (as Mag has left) but I dunno where Manju is and Liz is doing exams right now. I'm just waiting until exams are finished, then at least I have a friend... sort of person (well future sister-in-law) to play with and talk to. XD

Going Home

It's DAMN HOT here. Bleh. Flying home today... or tomorrow (flight at 12:50 AM). Next post will be in the comforts of my home. Been a busy last few weeks. Had exams, went to Bernie's house like 6 times, went to various weird places. Went to Maccas at like 2 AM a few times. Went to E-games yesterday. Today is the MCAC joint with Caulfield Karaoke. So yeah, I'll be attending that before heading off to the airport with Amanda.

Messy

I love how messy my room is right now there is like a BARRICADE between two parts of the small room. I have to climb over my bed now to get to my mirror and wardrobe. LOL. I'm supposed to be packing. But bleh, I hate packing. I even turned down an invite from Steven to go to the city with him and Zati. Boo boo boo. I was going to watch a movie with Alex, Bernie and whoever else is coming though, tonight that is. And maybe dinner. But that hasn't really been arranged properly.

Must get most of the packing done today. Eeeeeeh. Yesterday, Alex brought over more boxes. So that solved my problem of looking for more for Amanda. Alex is a life saver. LOL. I think I'm doing something tomorrow with Amanda and co. (she finishes her exam tomorrow finally!!) but I dunno what. LOL. Thursday is moving out day, Friday is e-games. Saturday is a bit of relaxing at Farrer, then MCAC Karaoke gathering (glad I'm not missing it, it's a big gathering, EVERYONE will be there for once...) then home home home! I shall spend Sunday in the comforts of my home. With my big bed. <3 <3

Laziness

I wanted to do a big post and stuff to say what I've been doing for the past few weeks. But I'm so lazy now. Okay, it was exams but I went out a lot despite that. Actually I might have went out even more. Bernie, Drue, Chris and co. seem to enjoy going out when it's like crunch time. But I get pulled along with the insanity. Currently waiting for Drue to pick me up from the Halls, going out for dinner... well it's almost 10 PM so I wouldn't say it's dinner anymore, LOL.

Was out entire day yesterday with Bernie, Alex, Tali, Drue, Max, Moo-chan with surprise visits from Raine and Chris. Umm... yeah. My final week of my first year in Australia will be pretty busy. Today was a calm day, and so will tomorrow (packing day tomorrow). But after that, I think my schedule will be full? And there are some people I should really go see before I leave... aaah... I dunno....

The final paper looms near...

Final paper tomorrow. I hope I don't be like how I was on my COM1020 exam. Like, really lazy to write the essay when I read the essay question (same thing happened in my previous lit exam last semester also). I'm not exactly ready. I had all this time after my COM1020 exam to study but... I obviously didn't study enough. No idea what I'm doing. Oh well. As long as I get over 52%, I'll be able to get a C for ENH1990, so that isn't really that high of a mark to work hard for.

Getting a D is out of the question now cause I'll need a 82% in the exams and no, Arts students cannot get HD's so easily. In the exam or overall. Unless everyone else sucks and you're actually good. Which is unlikely. Yeah, I know people always say how easy my work is but you know, I'm sorry for being too stupid to not be able to get an HD. But an HD Med student wouldn't be able to get one either. Arts doesn't have right or wrong answers. It's what's more right or more wrong. And cause of that, they can skewer your marks so easily if they wanted to. Since they can just make up excuses like they do on my essay, of what I did or did not do that killed the grade.

Friend told me last time that they purposely keep us from getting HDs anyway. And my tutor told me also that anyone aiming to get HDs in Arts should be prepared that it's really gonna be difficult to get one. Passing is easy though.

Anyway, once I get tomorrow done. I shall return to the Halls after the exams, relax and begin my plans on how I will pack and move out. Will probably go out all of Saturday with Alex, Bernie and the entire gang. Alex gave me 5 boxes, which isn't gonna be enough so I'll have to plan where to steal more boxes, ROFL. We were thinking what to do Saturday night as a celebration of sorts for the end of exams for most people (I think out of our group, only Vu and Chris I can think of so far would still be working on papers).

Still alive!

I'm still alive! Studying for ENH1990 exam. Will not blog until that is done. I was upset yesterday sniffing in my unhappy corner cause I got a 51% on my 35% ENH1990 major essay. OMFG. LOWEST SCORE EVER. I was really shocked. And upset. I immediately ran to buy a chocolate muffin from The Den, lol. Luckily when I went to collect my essay, a classmate Skye was there so she was attempting to calm me down as I slowly threw a small fit after seeing my score.

I need to get used to the fact that my grades aren't gonna be good if I slack off and attempt to enjoy life instead rather then sitting in my lonesome doing essays like semester one. But I haven't had bad grades since... year 7. But yeah, I will learn that passing is good enough (getting above 50%). Anything else doesn't matter since I don't have a scholarship and I probably won't do honours (even if I had the grades for it I should work once I finish these 4 years, not waste another year).

Although I'll be busy once the exams are over moving out and stuff (luckily Alex has volunteered to help me move out, giving me boxes, the use of his car and manpower LOL). And bunch of MCAC activities before I run home, some random outing / celebration for early exam finishers on the 10th (going to DFO for fun and doing something at night, I hope we don't party all night LOL). And I know we're gonna go to the E-games expo (and Raine, Moo-chan and others wanna go to the Sexpo running at the same day at the same place... and want to drag me in with them. I don't mind going but I don't wanna pay $22 to go to a convention about sex lol) annnd karaoke (the real end of exam celebration MCAC style) joint with Caulfield people. I'll miss the after party / pub crawl though since I'm going home on the same day. T.T
