| I'm updating for Gavin, because he's too lazy & can't be bothered. I'm also updating it for him, because he asked me to. I'm just letting everyone who visits his blog know that he's alive & doing well :)
Exams are creeping up, so we're all pretty stressed at the moment. But he seems to be calm & collected. As usual.
Winter's approaching, if not, here already. It's getting more & more difficult to get out of bed each morning. My bed definitely loves me, because whenever I look at it, it seems to be beckoning me. And even when I don't look at it, I can still hear it calling out to me! I'm not a fan of the cold weather, gusty winds, early sunsets & frequent showers, but it seems like Gavin is. I don't know why he likes the cold :( It's so dark & gloomy, & everything seems so dull & mundane. Gah. I love summer, when the birds are chirping, the sun is shining, & you can wear shorts & a tshirt out, knowing that the weather won't turn cold on you. Mm, summer. Winter should go away! Haha.
We had Nelayan for dinner yesterday. Ooh, yummy beef rendang! :) It was really cold yesterday. I wore 2 layers with a thick jacket, a scarf(which Gavin didn't like, because it looked too "hippie"), jeans & boots. I looked like a snowman, but I'll do whatever it takes to keep myself warm in such terrible weather. Whilst waiting for Gavin(because he was late), I saw a girl wearing a mini skirt & boots! Either she couldn't feel the cold, or her legs must be numbed already. My hands were so cold, they were about to fall off! Then Gavin shows up in a jersey & a jacket, proudly declaring to the world that it isn't cold & that "the weather's not too bad"! Ugh. I really don't like the cold.
I can forsee my electricity bill hitting the roof already. My heater will be switched on 24/7! I'm missing Singapore's Katong Laksa!
I'm getting lazy & I've typed quite a bit already.. So I'll let Gavin update whenever he feels like it :) Till then.

| Easter holiday just started!
Technically.
I had to work throughout the weekend, so yeah.
Today was...quite unproductive! But I managed to get a decent amount of
work done. Finished my SCRC prac, and week 2 of the lectures. So, all
is good!
Went for lunch with Wei Shen. I tell you, this dude is amazing lah.
Every conversation I have with him is inspiring. I love to hear him
talk about church and God and things like that. He's got a
gift...that's for sure. Piano... talking to people about God... I am
sure he's going to be a great guy someday lah. Glad that I got to know
him now.
Well, today marks 30 days with Winky Ho! Man. It's just too bad she is in Singapore...if not she'd probably have a new pair of boots by now. But she has to wait. Toooooo bad.
The last month has been really amazing! I am happy to know you Winky.
You can read about it in the note. Or have you openned it already?
Watched The illusionist as well! Its a rather strange show. Very
dramatic and all...but not much holding power. In terms of my
attention, that is. Storyline is also...meh. Ok ok only lah. (Yeah I
know this is a poor review...but what the heck. It was a poor
show)
300 was... well. Lets just say its 90 minutes of gore, 10 minutes of
sex and 5 minutes of story. There you go. I liked the action and the
effects...story left wanting >.<

| Weekend's here, and I think its going to be one of the busiest, but
no-studying-done weekend. Oh well, I think I deserve the weekend off.
Went to Bond on Friday...wasn't that great. What irritated me was the
2.5 hour wait outside the lounge, which totally killed my soles. (And
my soul as well lah, technically. It devoured my soul's reserve of
patience). Music wasn't that great...there was no... 'feel" to it.
After a while, it just got a little boring. And dull...maybe I will
just head to a bar next time.
Had some alcohol...its been a while since I had some. Was good I
guess=) Burned a hole into my pocket though. Which is why I am working
a little extra this weekend. So yeah.... the catching up is going to
start on Monday!
I really am hoping for a H1 in CRL this semester. Its quite easy, the
understanding part. Its the memorising that really gets to me. Why is
there such a huge amount to remember!!! But no one said medicine was
going to be easy...its hard work. And my God will see me through it.
Cheers to everyone back home! To my dad and my mom, who have the faith
to make the sacrifice to send me here. To my sister, who has done well
on her exam, just want to publicly (as public as this can get)
congratulate her. Just to remind her also that the road is still far
ahead, and that this success should not relax you, but it should drive
you to do better. And to Trili, who is currently in Singapore, you
aren't mean and evil! I'm only a call away if you need it. (Just don't
call during working hours, my boss will kill me >.<)
I have a good feeling about this week!

| Who says that medics aren't free or don't have free time? I had a whole
day free today. I consider it my pre-holiday day, as I am starting
holiday on Friday! So happy.
Got up at 10, but decided to stay in bed till about 11. I just felt,
lazy. Its the melbourne weather I think! Who says humans are warm
blooded animals, our activity is subject ot the weather too lah. When
its hot, like in the summer, I get up earlier and I can run on less
sleep. When its cold, like it is now - I seem to be needing more and
more sleep! Or maybe I am just less disciplined.
I have decided to fast stimulants (read: caffiene) for Marked camp. At
first I couldn't really decide what to fast - either I liked them
toooooo much or found them too inconsequential to fast. And let me tell
you, fasting caffiene is quite annoying. I can't have coffee, cola (any
form), tea, those sort of things that make the medical world go round.
There is no...morning BOOOST for me. There is no.... afternoon
keep-me-up-in-lecture drink. And there is no
help-to-keep-the-smile-on-my-face drink when I go to work. It gets qite
annoying after a while...but oh well!
I started doing my work today...I don't know why its always like that.
First days are always tough... I don't know why I am afraid or don't
want to start studying. Am I afraid of hard work? No. Am I afraid of
what I don't know? Maybe... Or am I just lazy? Probably. Sometimes, the
amount of material seems so daunting, I don't know where to start as
well. I think I just got to keep telling myself that the most important
thing is to...start.
Haiya! It has been a week already! I didn't know I could miss someone
that much! Sighs. I am slaving away, working on PBLs while someone is
buying sarees and bangles. I have to eat microwaved food while someone
not only gets hot but cheap food as well. I am quite jealous...but most of all, I am very jealous because I only have 7 days holiday instead of 14.
Being in uni isn't that great after all. Enjoy yourself in Singapore
ok? You only have a week left there...9 days I think the count is.
That's not very long, considering you are going to spend the rest of
your time in Melbourne.
Thank you for putting my mind at rest. I am going to be honest by
saying that I felt hurt when I found out that you weren't just quite
sure when you said yes. But. I am happy (and grateful) that you took
the extra effort to decide. If you wanted to, you could have avoided
the whole thing (difficult, but not impossible) and still be...confused
I guess. But you didn't. You were brave lah! haha. Anyway. Come back
soon to Melb.

| Today gave new meaning to the words "peak hour".
As in most restaurants, Hawkers cafe has its peak hours as well.
I worked 2 shifts today... from 5 in the afternoon to 5 in the morning.
-to my parents who are reading this, I didn't walk home alone. Anyway,
the peaks came at 8.30-9.30...and then at 3-4.30. It seriously
is...well... no joke.
As far as I can tell, the number of errors that I perform is not going
down at all. Dockets went misplaced (They were all found in the end),
customers orders were forgotten, stuff like that. It was a relief that
no big big disaster came out of the errors I made. (Disaster
meaning...missing money). But I was aggravated, knowing that it wa
probably by sheer luck that there was no money lost. Sighs.
Trili Ho got shoes! And black hair!. No. sorry to burst your bubble.
You. Do. Not. Look. Like. a small girl. Slightly smaller maybe...but by
no means 12 years old! hahahaha. Love the heels though! Gotta say it
again. Love the heels!
I am really happy that Trili is happy in Sg. Ms. Ho here is probably
enjoying prata, mee pok singapore style, real chicken curry and
goodness knows what else. And she gets to be with her close friends!
Sighssss. I envy you just a little, dear. I wish I was home in
Malaysia, where I would be pampered by my mother and my dad, instead of
having to look out for myself all the time. But I do love the
independence. -Shrug. Can't have everything!!! Can't wait for you to
get back dear=) But in the mean time...enjoy the 14 days in Sg!
Today is Christine's birthday!!!!! I am super happy for my
sister. I am still in awe of how I become friends with her...for the 1+
year that I was in Trinity, she was no one...no one at all to me. She
was just that girl in the lecture hall, that girl on stage, that girl I
happenned to pass in the corridor. But now, she's someone I think of as
a close friend, someone that I can confide in and someone who will..
well.. just be there! I got her a scarf from Industrie. (Yeah so
what..its supposed to be a guy shop) So happy that she loved it!!!! Ha
ha ha. Hmmm. Maybe this just shows that I am quite metro. Oh well.
