Memory... is the diary that we all carry about with us.....

Memories... You create new memories each and everyday.. Be it good or bad.. well why would u wanna keep bad memories.. but I guess thats just how the human mind works.. It stores memories you wanna keep and even those you try so hard to forget.. I hold onto some memories oh so dearly.. memories with my loved one, my family and my friends.. trying to forget bad memories from the past...

But that said.. they do have a habit of creeping up and bitting you in the butt when you least expect it to.. Ive been told Ive got a selective memory.. again in both a good and bad way.. but recently Ive been having a lot of re-occuring dreams that come from memory.. things that Ive not thought of in a long while.. issues, memories which I thought I have locked away at the back of my head never to surface again but guess the body do play tricks on you once in a while... Im just so tired and frustrated with myself for feeling the way I feel.. I created those memories and I should be able to get rid of them.. but it has proven to be so much harder than I have ever anticipated... is it cause I am just a weak person? or my mind is just too stubborn, wanting to hold on to those memories for keepsake...

When people keep memories, some people choose to keep bad memories.. I tend to remember people with happy faces on them.. well picture this... slow motion laugh (: thats the mental picture I have of everyone I know.. weird ya.. been told that so many times.. even in my memories thats how people are portrayed to me..

Whatever that is making me feel the way Ive been feeling.. I really want it to go away.. maybe Im just homesick, or in need of a good cry.. whatever it is I just want it to go away.. I feel tired all the time, even when Im asleep, my mind doesnt seem to be, waking up feeling exhauted like Ive not slept a wink.. cant seem to be able to concentrate long enough to get anything done.. arghhh frustration, annoyed that I cant even do my first lab report for uni properly and am already struggling to complete it.. that's not me... its just not...

Best I can do is make people around me happy.. when I see my friends happy.. I feel a sense of joy that I've made them happy.. (: I wouldn trade that for anything... I would do anything for the ppl around me, family included, for they have done so much for me..

Im just an emo slob tonight for god knows what reason.. just needed an oulet...

miss you guys ♥

BOOKS

Mubina (missing you Fatter!) got me hooked onto reading this book after we went to watch the movie together.. and I just love to watch a movie then read the book to compare... I was going to wait till the next one comes out before reading the book.. but I could not put it down! I read it on my way to australia and finished it as soon as I got here... Went into the first Borders I saw in Sydney and bought the next one (New Moon) and started reading it as soon as I could.. its the best way to kill time on the ferry to and from uni as well.. I was just so eager to know what's gonna happen next. Is Bella gonna become a vampire? What is Edward gonna do next? sucker for a love story.. now im itching to buy the next one... heee...

Well on the topic of books... Mom and Dad called on skype just a couple of minutes ago asking what I was doing up so late.. My reply to that, "colouring".. yes hahah colouring.. Ive got a workbook that requires me to colour in different anatomy of the brain.. Im doing a module on Physiology Psychology that require me to know neuroanatomy hence the workbook.. So Ive just spent the last 2 hours finishing a chapter on nerves and answering the questions... hahah

Dad's reaction was classic. "3rd year in university and you are colouring?" hahaha.. who would have thought eh... the aussie way... (:

on another note, really hope Avril's cough gets better... looking and sounding really miserable tonight at dinner... remember TAKE TO TAKE UR COUGH MIXTURE~! ♥ Same goes to you Ah Kong Low... plus I have a really really burnt and miserable Gargie.. ):

poor Diane... ♥

"Dead Blog"

"Why never update?"

My bad.. haha.. Ive just not had the time to! Honest to god... Time here just flies right by... Juggling between uni classes, tutorials, housework, running, playing with Russell, talking to my parents on skype, shopping for food, ice-cream by the time I start to wind its already almost midnight!

Crikey... dont get me wrong, Im loving my time here.. my gargie (diane) who always makes me laugh, our house mates Avril and Ah Kong Low who are always up for ice-cream, where dear Avril has 2 spoonsful and says Im full (says Diane) hahaha.. couldn ask for better company! *winks*

Here's a little update...

Spent the weekend in Syndey (as you would)... Gotta thank Tian Li and Ines for giving me an air-conditioned room and bed to sleep in! hahah.. I still love my bed in the garage with my personal fan (:

Kelvin had an interview in Sydney on wed and stayed on so I had a "not to experienced tour guide who did try his best" haha.. (: Oh and congrads on getting the job!

Well typical touristy pictures... the harbour bridge and Opera House in all its glory...

Took the chance to meet with Ryan for dinner.. always a pleasure Partner.. (: Pancakes on the rocks.. amazing place!..

Oooo Krispy Kreme.. walked past it.. swear I didn walk in! hahah... had a weird craving for bubble tea that day.. odd..

Oooo one more OOoooo ahaha.. Kelvin and I were walking along Darling Harbour, exploring the place and we came across this! hahaha... Bollywood movie in the making! hahah I thought I recognised the actor (not that I watch a lot of Bollywood films haha).. Alistair gets to meet James Mcavoy and Kiefer Sutherland, I get to meet a Bollywood actor.. (:

Darling Harbour, Sydney Opera House at night... I know my photos are rubbish haha.. I forgot to bring my camera along so had to make do with my phone camera haha.. *doinks*

We went to Huntervalley for a day.. wine tasting.. new experience for me haha... bought a bottle of wine for the house.. on our way back we stopped at this Aqua Golf place.. very interesting place hahah...

Right see how there are boards bobbing in the lake, well under those boards are nets.. and if u hit into the net, you win what ever is on the board. Say your golf balls falls into a Subway board, you win Subway vouchers! haha... this poor soul was trying so hard, but his ball were always way off haha... better luck next time buddy...

We went for German food at this place with some of Tian Li's friends from Uni.. reminded me a lot of Germany.. food tasted just as good.. sausages and beer haha.. they had entertainment like Beer drinking competition and all.. loads of ppl were having celebrations there.. there were like 3 birthday celebrations, at least 2 Hen Nights and 1 Stag Night... good night...

Our taste buds were put to the test one night.. Sichuan extra spicy soup! wohooo... awesome.. haha

Bondi beach on the last day where the boys helped themselves to a deep fried mars bar each with me cringing while they eat.. reiterating to them that each bite is probably a gazillion calories haha...

I had the BEST Jap sashimi dinner that night.. avocado chawanmushi, fresh sashimi.. awww if only I can have that everyday... yums...

Not to mention our little visit to the fish market where I had super fresh sashimi.. arghhhh Well that was my trip to Sydney in a nut shell.. not much of a picture taking kinda person as you can tell.. haha... but I had fun.. (:

But while I was away, I did miss my gargie, and the lovely couple and of course Russell (who Bryan calls my bf now..) who wouldn want such a cutie haha.. (:

Oh and I hand-carried home an entire passionfruit cheesecake for the house! hahaha I did take half a day out in Sydney to study and do my tutorials so that work will not pile up...

QUT gives you so much work! and people have been telling me that Australians are very laid back people.. sheesh.. If I dont do work everyday, I dunno how to get everything done. So much more compared to what I do in Glasgow.. Im actually enjoying the work.. it doesnt feel like a chore eventhough I do complain abt it when my eyes gets tired from all the reading haha..

Anyways.. speaking of work, Ive yet to finish my tutorial... long day at uni tmr.. wheee... and I'll have my long weekend! (:

Woke up at this hour

and took a 2 hour drive to

breath-taking isnt it....

Byron Bay.. Sun Rise.. It was so worth the drive, even though we kinda missed the sun rise but we caught the second part of it (: who knew Australia was so beautiful...

Byron Bay's Light House

where we had our brekky

and met the 'locals' (:

everyone was zonked out by the end of the trip.. left the house at abt 3.15am and only got back at 11.30am... crashed till abt now.. might finally get my run! haha.. the cold is still bugging me though but it aint a bad one.. nose cant decide what it wants to do.. one minute its blocked, the other its running... just a nasty cough to get rid off and I'll be as good as new! (:

Uni offically starts tmr... crikey! well for me its tues hee.. Ive got a 3 day week, cant really complain abt that now can I haha...

wish me luck*

Honest... (: *sniffles*

This was were we tried rock climbing... emphasis on the word tried haha.. its much harder than it looks! much much harder...!! dont have the upper body strength plus no lunch.. that was my excuse for not making to the top haha...

The rive boat cruise thingy.. no one really paid attention to the whole river crusie part.. jsut the bar i think haha.. met a couple of people from Glasgow Uni doing Law, Diane has been hanging ard Singaporeans haha so she was so glad to have some Glaswegian banter going on.. (:

Most of the students on board, well all of them really, were on exchange so it felt like I was back at International Night in glasgow haha.. ppl from all over the world.. mostly americans really.. but here's ppl from oxford, france and canada.. (:

Was hooked onto jelly shots.. they are amazing I tell you.. if i ever were to have a party, I'll definitely be making them hahaha... nuff said abt the rest of the night.. (:

Went to watch this film with the girls today...

Cinema at South bank... felt like I was about to watch an opera or an orchestra play haha.. the screen was MASSIVE~!!!!!

What's my take on the film... I enjoyed all 150 minutes of it.. didn feel like it lasted for 150 minutes cos so much was happening in the film.. Single girls should go watch it, you know for eductional purposes haha.. single guys should watch it too... couples dont have to bother.. U've already got someone haha.. so ya.. the brush off, the signs and signals to look out for, all noted.. (: the film basically points out that most if not all men are asses, except for the few exceptionals... haha.. again filling our heads with the idea that happy-endings do happen and that our prince charming will come.. eventually.. haha might take a year or 2 or even more.. yikes!

Right.. remember me mentioning a little monster that Im living with.. well this is he.. haha the young pup name's Russell... he runs, he licks, he humps, he poops, he misses the papers when he pees, he's everything you would want in a dog hahaha... and more.. he's just the cutest thing ever.. loves the attention, stealing things off my bed and bringing what ever he steals to the living room haha.. but you just gotta love him... ♥

See my phone sitting at the back of the picture.. Russell went straight for it after this picture was taken and brought it straight to the living room.. this afternoon it was my shorts and my bangle and my sunglasses haha...

Always look forward to coming home to this little poochie... ♥

peeps
