heard of dr kellogs? i learnt today in medicine that he preached (timeframe: early 1800's) widely about the abstainance of sexual practices (even among married couples! who he thinks should do it no more than 12 times a year). He especially, absolutely detests masturbators. long story short, he reckoned that masturbation is the cause of diseases and an act of self-abuse or self-pollution.

if you immediately linked the name kellogs to breakfast cereal, then bingo! cornflakes originated from him, and apparently since he advocated engaging activities that will take your mind and energy away from masturbation, eating cereals in the morning is his way of diverting your energy away from masturbation haha!

psst: 1 week!!

i've been waiting impatiently for spring but it's just 2 weeks from now! i told myself i shall not be excited 'cause y'know, the cosmos might have different plans or something but i genuinely can't wait :) (and no it's not just because of the new bag teehee)

but seasons go by so rapidly. spring's no big a deal. not like i'm counting down or whatever. /waves nonchalantly. ah heck it! 2 weeks 2 weeks! *psyched!

a speedy update shall we?

* i am feeling the pressure building up. the semester is not at it's worst yet tho! :(

* so currently i'm in the dillema of balance and juggle. i need to get as much done now so that i can skip merrily in spring butbutbut i really wanna hang with the those (yay jiat's!) who are here (or arriving soon) from sunny msia!

* i am on a diet plan for spring. when winter ends the layers come off(both clothes and fats)! nothing intensive, just trying to cut down my chocolate intake from 6or7days/week to 3days/week. if you read my plurk *points side* or *twitter*, you'd notice i failed this week SIGH.

* i paid 24 bucks for a professional to tell me i'm okay. -_-" i think they forgot to check my head. i'm going bonkers in there.

* i am not a skyscrapper. i mean this more than in vertical sense.

* i'd do anything for a bowl of tamantun's rojak, chee chiong kai's beef noodles, ss19's chicken rice, kl's chee chiong fun, ss14's fried lasksa, or bawang merah's seri muka.

* experience or expertise? hate choosing sides!

* 56384 things to do.


oooh prolly i'll swamp you people sick of our faces in the next post! their visit here to melbourne made my first winter here warm :)

what if, spring turns out overrated? what if it all goes to waste when i find myself buried in workload? it is after all the mid sem cramming period :( that being said, i can't wait!

yellow sunflowers green meadow
balloons afloat! ahoy there come down!

clowns.

maybe fun fair's not for little kids.

my secret goal of 2009 is to keep my hair mighty long!

haih.
HAIHHHHHHHHHH
*take a deep breath cos dramaness ensue from this point forward*

MY CAMERA IS BROKEN. SPOILT. KAPUT. BRAIN DEAD.

sobbbbb. and you all know how i bring my camera nearly everywhere! always! swiftly chucked into my bag! just a hand grab away! snapping your pic faster than you can say "i'm on a diet"

T___T

my other half.
my heart and soul.
my old faithful.
my reason for living.

served me a good 5 years. *stiffles a tear* seriously loh it may be damn old for the lifespan of a camera but i stand by the fact that it still takes AWESOME pictures.

so how nowwww. i'm stucked with a toy camera. which is actually quite cool cos my pictures now all turn out to be a surprise, but HAIHHHH.

how? spend money again ah? buy new camera? :( *starts saving up*
and what camera to get!?

some pics from said awesome camera. adelaide! (click *HERE* for the fb album)


it's a pity we couldnt drag kahleong(me and janice stayed at his place btw, thankyouuuu dear) out for a meal. poor boy was busy cramming for exams! eh you, come melbourne again!

***
it still feels like holidays. i still act like its the holidays. and my brain certainly is very reluctant to be dumped into this piranha pool that is this this semester.

only week2 and i feel the strain of the new subjects :( syllabus is only getting harder sigh. allow me to introduce you to my subjects:

Business Finance- haih. if it's anything like money and cap i forsee a love-hate relationship. i hear it's quite tough this year!

Corporate Law- as expected, dreary. goodness knows why i loved business law last time, but here's hoping that i prove the high failure rate percentage wrong again!

Intermediate Macroeconomics- well i like economics so i'm praying this one doesnt change my mind.

Medicine: From Magic to Microbes- doesnt this subject sound enticing!? it's my breadth and despite the name it's not very sciency at all. i thought the first 2 lectures were interesting!

BUT! coming out from my tutorial yesterday left me feeling stupid. i knew it'll be hard cos this is a level 3 subject but my my you should see the people in my tute! nearly all of them are in the biomed/sciency faculties. in fact there was 1 who was already a doctor, and another older lady who is a nurse!

i am not exaggerating when i say i have no idea what they're talking about. throwing in all their medical jargons and such T___T

boohooo think i'd have to put in more effort this semester!
but how la so many people are coming to melbourne! yayyy cant wait seriously! hehee its okay, i will have discipline. wake up early for classes! stay home at night! diet! :)

did a whole month just flew by? i regret not penning down pieces of my thoughts throughout the winter break, but then again, that would defeat the purpose of my Operation-Stop-Overthinking.

cos really, i think my brain works overtime. it stresses me out like crap- hello, brain? i'm on a holiday!
worthless opiniated ramblings of mine aside, the holidays was my first away from home, which i miss very very much :(

but i had my fair share of fun :) had a spontaneous trip to adelaide. a couple road trips around melbourne. shown jiale and steph around. showcased my debut driving stint all the way from avalon airport (an hour away! and- our first time there with no gps! only the trusty iphone google map!), speaking of which has a tragically funny story behind which can be briefly summarised into: drinking party > tipsy people> steph and sung misses morning flight > in search of the faraway avalon airport. (still sorry stephie!)

also, i cut my hair again. not just the fringe this time, but the ENTIRE head. looking back i dont even recognise that daredevil side of me, we're talking about my precious hair here! anywhoos, i did a forward layer. so now i'm rocking a shoulder-length DIY hair!! granted, it's slightly choppy, and if you squint hard enough the right side seems longer. BUT just say it! i am awesome! can YOU cut your own hair? :P

sem2 starts tomorrow!!!!! :( somehow that also means imma start blogging alot again, heh.

cant really be bothered with lotsa pics since everything is up on fb, but lemmi share few favourite month-old ones!

has nothing ever really changed? or perhaps we've just simply changed so much individually, but the chemistry never fades. maybe like wine, it gets better over time.

hello folks. i'm on a winter break now and either i'm utterly lousy at this whole time management deal, or i actually do have a life- seeing how i seem to be too busy to have time for mindless internet surfing and random stalking on fb!

life is so beautiful, in both magic and tragic terms. most times i wish i could capture every moment and share it, remember it. guess that explains why i'm constantly lugging the camera out.

my biggest fear is forgetting.
forgetting the scenes. the sights. the taste. the smell. the touch. the smiles. the chemistry. how it used to be.

but the camera can only capture so much.
soon, when the genius of me outsmart time, imma post them all! ;)

currently reunited in love with stiah, tertlord and jiale! <3 and i'm not planning to miss out any moment with them. life has already taken us into too far and too different routes in the whole growing up roller coaster.

i am relieved
that finals is a thing of a past. regardless how i fare, the present requires me to dance, skip, lay back and watch the world go by.

i am flustered
irrespective how much i try to calm my nerves. is there really a chill pill and where can i get some? i cant dance, skip, lay back and watch the world go by with the constant nagging behind my head. seems to me that my mind has been running exhaustedly on a perpetual state of paranoia. there's always something to worry and stress about: money. what to cook. am I studying enough. setting an appointment with the counselor. organizing my accessories. getting a job. planning trip itenaries. removing lint. etc

i am blessed
to have people that care. quality > quantity

i am happy
that I've grown wiser to know when to pay attention to minute details, and when not to let them effect me. long gone were the days when i strive to climb blindly. pleasing everyone is not my job description.

i am frustrated
of LDR

i am angry
over this growing belly of mine. no seriously, all I'm asking for is proportion! If my tummy grows it's only fair that the boobs should too in equal proportions!

i am psyched
cos in a couple of hours' time, janice, ping, em and i will be devouring yummy brekkie before we hit the shops! Anyone else hitting the Hello Sailor Vintage Fair @ Carlton Hotel? see you there!

it's way past my bedtime (6.50! gasp), goodnight and have a good weekend people :)

at the end of the day, we dont run our lives.

we are told what to do. we are told how to do them. but deceived into thinking that's exactly how we desire to live our lives.

so okay. i will play by their rules. i have no right to question the authority of their orders.

conformity. society moulds my being.

i am after all still a child.

a friend asked me,
are you sure this is what you want? you have a choice. is it worth the pain?

now really, how can we measure the worth of anything unless we're given the gift of foresight for the outcomes stemming from the different decision paths? let me ask you, how willing are you to take a risk?

do i tug, push or release?


2 more papers, i'm so sick of studying but i cant help but feel i've not done enough. i'm terrified for econometrics :( in other news,


OKAY STUDY!!! *glum

i've already uploaded these on fb but what's ever stopped me from procrastinating twice? random pics from ping's 21st, enjoy :)


***
i need to FOCUS. a week break between papers is highly deceptive, my brain is being fooled into thinking that time is aplenty and we (meaning my brain and emotions - two separate entities during exams period, mind you) should go out and play. what more after having a minor (okay fine, a minor++) breakdown after my micro paper, i prescribed a myself worry-free weekend away from the books.


and a worry-free weekend indeed. my aunt came down and woopie it's great being around family! so i spent days indulging in yummilicious food, family bonding and shopping :)
