I.. just had my last exam for my degree on Tuesday afternoon...

and it feels really weird.. so unreal.. but meh.. it's over

still can't believe it tho~

Anyway, I'm going home on the 25th... kinda looking forward to it and kinda not at the same time. I know that I'll be with my parents all the time, which is a good thing since I have not see them since Feb. But I know that I'll get bored after a week or two. Plus, there won't be Ceroc there !! how am I going to survinve not dancing Ceroc for at least a month and a half !!?? Well, I'll just have to find another outlet. I'm thinking..... salsa !!

I went to this Firework Extravaganza last Sat with Ben and Judy (a lady we know from Ceroc).. it was so much fun. They have bon fire, live band, great coffee (I've had the best Chai latte and Mocha) and everything. The firework was awesome and the night ended perfectly with all of us stepping into a pool of cow poo. Yeah.. it was just awesome..

Life is good.. so good

November already.. and soon 2005 will be over

I already had three exams in the last 2 weeks and still, I don't feel like I am in the middle of my exam period at all. 6 and 1/2 days until my last exam for my degree.. oh well, I probably going to have panic attack on the day. Hmm, wonder what it will feel like walking out of that exam and know that that was it... it's all over now

Today, I'm in a very "meh" mood. I can't be bother doing anything. Suppose to be studying but can't be bother. My desk and bed is so messy but can't be bother tidying it up. At least I've learned a few things recently

1. Never study with your significant other.. it just does not work
2. TradeMe is very addictive.. avoid it at all costs
3. Treasure your friends and flatmates.. eventhough they might drive you crazy
4. Staying in the sun too long can make you feel sick
6. Never take clean water, easy-access to food & shelter for granted
7. Most importantly, be thankful for each day

Last night I went to meet World Vision's Philip Maher, an award-winning photojournalist from Canada, with Ben. Philip talked about the famines in wars in places like Somalia, Afghanistan, Southern Sudan, Rwanda, Bosnia and etc. It such an eye opener.. hearing stories of all these horrible things that's going on on the other parts of the world and how organisations are trying to reach out and help those sufferers... it certainly makes you things about your life and how fortunate you are..

Right, Neuropharmacology is calling me.. I should attempt to study since I've been distracted from study for the past few weeks.. MEH !!

Chao~

got this link from a friend of mine yesterday.. (thanks Tim)

http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=banish

it talks about blog, bloggers... any blog-containing words.. check it out

I'm still bloggin'

Yeah, I know, my attempt to have regular updates is pathetic. But hey, I'm still bloggin' !!

Well, the demo at the Women Lifestyle Expo went really well. Ben brought a long a vdo camera and got us all on tape. I've seen most of it and damn... all the effort we put it really paid off. The Expo went on for 2 days (last Sat & Sun) and after each demo, we all made our ways down to the beach. It was great fun on Saturday but on Sunday it was just perfect. The weather was a lot better on Sunday (and on Saturday, it was already pretty good). Went for walks along the beach and got dumped into the sea and dumped Ben into the sea (ha.. revenge is great) and met this little wee kid and got into a conversation with him. Gotta love lil' kids.. they are just awesome to talk to. I think our conversation included his family dog, orange hat, flame-shaped sunglasses, stairs and ah-hem.. poo (Mel's fav topic).

This week has been pretty slow but fast at the same time. I feel that I haven't done much preparations for my exam tomorrow at all. Yeah, I know, I suppose to be studying.. but bloggin' is much more fun !! I was seriously considering going to Ceroc tonight.. but definitely a bad idea because I'm just incapable of staying only for an hour, even tho that's my intention. I usually end up staying until Monique pack up. Yeah, avoiding temptations is just way better than trying to resist them.

That's it !! I have to stop procrasinating and do some study !!! Grr.. can't wait for the exams to be O-V-E-R !!

Chao~~

Banana Pancakes...

is the name of a song by Jack Johnson which I'm particularly fond of at the moment. I'm tempted to post the lyrics on my blog.. but that might results in interesting comments on my blog. Anyway, I love that song.

Yeah, suppose to be studying but mehh.. I decided to do it after I finish this post. Tomorrow night is going to be exciting. I'm catching up with Jane Lee at Isis. Unfortunately, I have to wake up early the next day so I'll have to be really discipline and stay for a couple of hours.

Hmm, the weather today sux. Seriously, I decided to have lunch outside and it was really nice and sunny. As soon as me, rebecca and ben sat down and start eating.. it started raining. It started off really light and got heavier by the second. So there goes my quality time in the sun...

Well, this is going to be one of those blogs that talk about nothing in particular.. well, I'll just put on Jack Johnson CD now and do some work..

It just struck me today that 2005 is almost over. Amazing how time just pass us by isn't it. It's kinda sad to realise that next year many people who have become such significant people in my life.. those who have been there when I became a Christian and all.. won't be in Dunedin next year. How am I going to cope when these people won't be here? I'll be missing:

Yasmin, my life group leader who counselled me through so many things

Nic, who listens to the same thing from me over and over again and always be there during my "emergency" moments

Sam, who stayed with me for two hours one night at church and listen to all my worries and fears about the King's Ball

Dave P, who's always so nice and polite to me.. and we have the most awesome conversation and the most random moments

Heather, I will always remember our VDO night

and the list goes on and on. At the beginning of this year was pretty bad already without Abbey, Penny, Kritsy, Bing, Ingrid and Ekta. Oh well... I better stop coz this is making me depressed.

And I'm back bloggin'...

Whoa! I haven't blog for exactly a month and 9 days. What a slacker !! Well, I went through the anti-blog stage for a while... until today. Hopefully, I'll keep updating this blog and stop being so lazy.

So how am I doin'? Surprising good actually. No more stress from organising the ball or from having so many assignments due at the same time. This semester, I decided to be more organised with my time. But my turn-up to lectures is a bit disappointing.. especially friday ones.

So much is happening at the moment. Exams, dance rehearsals (4 nights a week, on top of the normal classes I go to, I mean.. really !!), assignments, reports, a presentation and a debate. I can't wait for it all to be over.. so I can wind down, relax and dance some more. The rehearsal is for the demo we're performing at the Women Expo this coming weekend. Am I excited? Nah, not really.

I'm actually in a really good mood lately (katie & mel, if you're reading this, stop grinning!!!). I've realised that I haven't spend much time with Mel at all (ah, poor Mel, deprived of my awesome company) but we've done quite a bit of catching up.. it's awesome. I finally realised that it's going to be really weird (and sad) without her as a flatmate next year. Boo..

Oh !! DW is almost on so I better stop here.. leave comments folks !!

Choa ~~
