sleep, uni, eat, watch House MD.

maybe some exercise in between all that.

that's my life atm.

although i had one more birthday party last sat which was quite fun to be honest. 1st time i actually danced with no regard to what people thought of me! LOL! always too self-conscious i guess. hehe!

really random thought but i wanna go mambo night and watch everyone dance in sync! especially to the classics like 'heaven is a place on earth' and 'summer rain'!

alright! dinner time!

Never work with kids or animals

isn't he the most adorable thing ever? aww!

and now for the group photo.

take 1. lookie here! pink pen!

take 2!

take 3!

take 4! ok give up already! =)

the two kids look the same size right? although maddy's 4 and lochie's only 1!

Banya's 21st Party

r1tha and sabr1na! wonder what sab's trying to do! =)

*note to self. i hate flash. makes my one eye big one eye small 'defect' even more obvious!

sab, b3c, ann1ka!

i must find a way to keep my left eye open!

love marcu5' fedora! gives my outfit a new edge.

m@rk and an1ta! i love this photo! i look pretty and slim(mer) here! hehe!

alright i should hit the sack soon. 2nd day of mental health first aid tmr! i'll update again soon! toodles!

got back my midsem results! 83%! woohoo! although to be honest it could have been much better if not for my changing two of my answers! and using a bit more brain on 2 of them. and not forgetting what i studied the night before on one of them. which means i could have gotten full marks! DAMMIT!

oh well its only 5% overall so that's alright. not too bothered by it. i think some people would kill me right now for saying how i actually felt a little upset at a high distinction! LOL! but it wasn't a tough paper. rather easy to be honest but had some tricks here and there. highest was 91% while lowest was 31%.

anyway i'm going for a mental health first aid course this weekend! heavily subsidised by the rural health club! it's going to be awesome i think! one more certificate to add to my collection. -.-" no but seriously i think mental health is a very important area that is under explored.

this friday is insane with 5 lectures. tmr's just pharm tute and pharm lecture so i end at 12 if i do not have kfp after it. which is good cos that means i can try to finish up my diabetes insipidus lecture and reflective piece maybe? although reflective piece can be ignored till next yr. we'll see how things work out.

gonna shower and go for tutorial soon! =)

i love this productive, motivated, mugger me!

tmr 9 am = 7am singapore!

might be MIA for the next few days because of the test on monday. SWOT-VAC mode in action right now.

watched 4 korean movies over the holidays! =) that made my day! i forgot how good it feels to be able to relax and just watch movies. alright maybe not relaxed but still! it feels good to be able to watch movies and slack in between studying.

the naked kitchen was confusing and not nice. although the guy's the goong crown prince so that was the saving grace. you even get to see his naked back view! LOL! so yes. that was it.

antique kitchen was the first movie i watched and it was nice! although the gay-ness of it was a shock at first because i didn't realise it was a gay show. ;) so for those who aren't homophomes, it is a good movie to watch!

hello schoolgirl and 100 days with mr arrogant are your typical korean movies so it was made me feel all lovey dovey again. love meter's all full and ready to go! HAHA! nice nice! they're the feel-good movies that make the world seem like a better place!

alright. i should go hit the books again. test in 6 days! *freaks out*

i feel liberated. like the pressure in me's all released. i feel free - free from the ghosts of the past. i can smile again. =) now to pick up my things and move on to better and more important things.

today has been rather (un)productive, depending on what you're talking about. let's just say that today has been a HOLIDAY! gotta really start on my reflective piece and revision tmr. cannot be distracted already!

went for yoga today and we walked past chick3nfeed and they had this comestic section of it! OMG I SWEAR WE WENT GAGA INSIDE! if not for me not having enough money, i might have bought the entire place!

guess how much this stash cost me?

let's see. watsons would prob sell the perfectfirm pro for $40? dermagenesis concentrated serum for $30? loreal bare natural mineral makeup for $25? loreal colour appeal trio pro eyeshadows for $15?

so that would be $110?

well. i got them all for $20! it was 2 for $10!!!! and it's all made in germany, italy and USA! not indonesia or whatever other places you get them from! how awesome is that! very very happy!

decided to go down to wooli3s to get some food so that we can cook. ended up buying food for steamboat! hahaha!

this is half of what we bought except the chicken. that was all of it. the sausage looking things are actually chicken necks. we were sooo full by the end of it! and the groceries cost us $30+ (2x amount shown) so we split it by 2 people (christ1na and myself) and we only ate half the amount! so we only spent like $7-9 for dinner! yummy!

and yes that is shabu shabu beef! ;)

made tea leaf eggs too! we'll see how they taste tmr!

konnyaku the day before!

just realised how picture intensive my blog posts are! but would you guys prefer posts with more pictures or more words? *poll please!*

it's damn fucking (pardon the language) hard to find a place to move out into that's in town, that's not too expensive and doesn't require me to pay 3mth worth of rent for nothing. and with enough rooms too.

there's this really nice place but it's only two rooms and now we have three (?). meh.

not liking how electricity is going to be more expensive and how they're gonna start metering out water too! =(

michelle hates trouble yet she seems to be looking for trouble at the moment.

in fact, she even felt a little sad that she might be leaving jan3! oh no! what's happening to her! too attached to this lovely place!

despite the torrential rain today, we still made it to cascades after much deliberation etc! =) first time i used my phone this much! hahahaha! anyway, it was an interesting trip nonetheless and although i wished the rain stopped so that we would be able to explore the extensive gardens.. =( thats my only regret (of sorts). oh well. there's always another time! hehehe!

for starters, presenting, the grains!

middle one's lightly roasted while the right one's roasted (duh chaota already!)

wooden thing's the old old kettle that survived the fire back in 1967. they (used to) mix/boil the water and grains together in there. today it's just used to store the mixture i think.

us outside the brewery. looks hogwartish? =) its one of the oldest breweries in australia and one of the few that do things the traditional (method wise) way!

fermenter's to our right! can peer through the peephole to have a look into the bubbling amber pureness. yummyyyy..

bottles! probably rejects? not sure why they were just outside in a huge dustbin thing.

bottling process behind me!

beer taps! draft, pale ale, cascade green, premium lager, first harvest! stout was available too but it was in the bottle. and it was actually quite nice!

*btw stout has the MOST hobs in it! and lager is made at a lower temp than ale!

and of course, presenting us with our free drinks!

mine's ginger beer (which was REALLY REALLY nice!), elvin3's holding the pale ale and christ1na's blocking her raspberry drink.

had lunch there. the beer battered fish was yummy and so was our steak. the garlic bread wasnt garlicky enough so boo. the desserts were yum! although the stout ice cream tasted very much like cappucinno ice cream for some reason. the cheesecakes were awesome too esp the honey comb and chocolate one. the passionfruit one was alright. scones were hot and the jam was oooo with cream that formed soft peaks.

*heavenly*

now you know why i've put on weight over these few days. argh i need to go back to yoga. but the weather is BAD BAD BAD!!!

PS. went for my eye test today and all's fine!

R: 6/5

L: 6/6

everything in my eyes' alright too. blood vessels, nerves etc. =) i'm still glad that my vision's awesome. although that means i have to wear goggles on various occasions but i guess that's still less troublesome than having to grapple with specs considering how sunglasses rarely stay on my nose properly.

i'm now sitting in the clinical school lecture theatre waiting for the GIT overview lecture to start. kirkcaldi3's drawing a mouth - anus picture which is rather interesting atm. hope i can take a picture of it later or sth. we'll see if i rmb. hahaha! =)

here's half of it! him drawing half of it. hehehe..

ok he's starting le! ciao people~!

PS. gonna go to the optometrist and pathology lab later to do my eye test and FBC, Fe studies and TSH tests. gonna lose blood again. boo.

oh man i've been having too much good food these two days! hahaha but of course i'm not really complaining since this is not a frequent phenomenon! =)

went out to drunk3n admiral (again) and had the same seafood sticks on hot rock thing. yummyy..

one stick of scallops. ones stick of sotong. one stick of fish and prawns. with garlic butter and some sauce that tastes oddly like the macs chicken nugget curry. hahaha! although i think it is bbq sauce or sth bah.

arrived at the hotel earlier than expected to pick up kok w33 so we hung around and started camwhoring. the rest are on fb and it's obvious that we were absolutely bored and the freezing wind didnt help with our brains thinking straight too. =) hehehe! although i must say some of the pictures are really pretty!

my pathetic attempt at emoing with the pole.

heeellppp! jeremy was above while we were below and it was fun! had a pic of my posing the the stairs but that wasnt taken properly la.

was quite embarrassing considering how there were people walking past despite us already being at the back of the building. hilarious though. i love taking random photos that arent the usual stand-smile-take type of photos! because there is only so many you can take.

i love randomness and thats why i love us! =)

Absolutely Hilarious Bathroom Mirror Prank - Watch more Pranks

According to http://www.friendshipstats.com I have 936 friends, 816 more than average. 35% are male, 65% are female. 235 are single, 231 are dating or married. If I contracted a deadly variant of flu, I would likely infect 17 people, 2 of whom would die. When I share something on Facebook, it is typically viewed by 47 people. If I died today, an estimated 768 people would try to attend my funeral. Based on my Facebook profile, I have a 97% probability of getting married. I am likely to earn US$2.7 million and have 2.9 children over my lifetime.

i hope my 'salary' is at least my annual salary! would be great if that is my monthly though! =)

i'm feeling quite good these few days. things seem to be going my way most of the time. =)

and i'm glad it's only saturday! feels like sunday already because i feel like i've done a lot of work already. so knowing that it's actually only saturday actually feels awesome. it's been ages since i've felt this great. maybe it's the yoga. haha! i have no idea. but studying in school after classes end have been really productive and i'm loving it.

this week's the last week of uni before the mid-semester break so i've gotta finish up all the various lectures so that i can actually start mugging for the exam that's coming up one week after the holidays. plus there's still reflective piece to do. and not to forget the various PoA discussion posts. pfft. heaps of work to get done so i hope i wouldn't be too distracted during the holidays!

although having said that, i'm thinking of going down to cascade breweries for the tour with the jane people! =) cos 1. its near to jane 2. its a short tour 3. the gardens there are supposedly really pretty! so this will be my little getaway from work and taking a tour of hobart. it's sad how i've been here for almost 2 years and i havent been anywhere at all! unlike friends who have been here on holidays. they've probably travelled more than me! grr. what sorta shit is this?! i want a car! hahahah!

these few days i've been hearing people talking about moving out of jan3/uni apt etc. and i sit there thinking if i want to move out. yes staying at jan3 might be a THAT little more pricey than moving out but is the hassle/human relationship problems worth it? i don't think so. i know myself. i think if i end up living in an apartment with people, i would end up pissing a few people off (or rather the other way around) so it would not be nice. it's great hanging out as friends but housemates can be a different issue altogether.

so i think i'm sticking to jane. i've got everything i need except a car for convenience sake. what's not to like? besides, there's a shuttle to uni/town and if i get a car, that would solve the awkward hours of some rotations already. =D

UTAS - a day in the life of a student

WHEE~!!

"The Winner Takes It All"

I don't wanna talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play

The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny

I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules

The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain.

But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all

I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all...
