other side of the world

Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world
to me

melbourne

hmm i have slightly more than one week till my mid semester exams. realised that i've been slacking a wee bit too much. and its like 2 weeks till my september holidays. and already, we've started planning what to do with it. its between going to sydney or melbourne. at this moment, its swinging very much to melbourne which is like a 7.5 hr drive. my parents will kill me. well thats the thing i like about australia. its huge. we can just pick up and leave canberra as and when we want to, and go to some other state. plus, mummy and daddy dearest are not here. haha.. my dad almost killed me when i just went to sydney for the weekend. see, ngiam, this is another reason you should come here, then you wont have to go to bangkok just to get away. no need to bring passport, just get into the car and drive off. but then again, you dont have your friggin license. tsk tsk. aiyo me too. but i like to think of it as other people chauffering me around. so the september hols sound interesting right? something to look forward to!

reina where have you died to?

so by the time i finish my course here, i would like to say that i've been around australia! how cool is that? geri you're welcome to come here for a nice holiday, just dont come to canberra, its bloody boring!

so my dear friends, come visit me when you can, otherwise i'll see all of you after dec 15, after spending a month in brisbane, summertime at the surfers' paradise, and good old gold coast!

one month

how fast time passes.

its been one month since i came canberra. 2 days ago, i finally felt sad. it was the first time since i came here that i really missed my friends. i miss everything about everybody, but mainly the fact that i can talk about anything with them without being afraid of any judgement coming from them. the comfortablility with them, that we accept each other for what we are, and know each other well enough. and it only comes after being friends with someone for a long period of time.

oh well, i hope to see everyone back in mid december!

jenson

jenson button has finally gotten his first win in the f1! was a stunning race, and a well deserved win. after supporting him and honda for 2 years, they've finally produced a win. i had almost given up hope on him and f1, but luckily i watched it last night and it turned out to be one of those great races, full of excitment, especially with the wet weather! yay!

good day

yesterday was a good day. the weather was perfect. it was the first the i could walk out in a tank top and a t shirt without feeling cold. so i woke up to go for the mamak day, which was an eating event organised by the malaysian society. paid five bucks for free flow of friend bee hoon, curry chicken, prata, and teh. tasted quite ok. ate picnic style - sitting down on the grass and chit chatting. basked in the good weather.

later went to woden for shopping. my friend dave, who bought a car, drove us over there. the dude took a wrong turn and took us on a scenic tour of canberra. luckily the weather was really nice, so we enjoyed the view on our way there. saw people having picnics by the lake, and even some couple just parking their cars by the side of the road, in the middle of nowhere and just lying on the grass sun tanning. weird.

so we finally got to woden and started shopping. ended our shopping adventure with some nice donuts at krispy kreme. the very famous krispy kreme thats only available in nsw (sydney) and my very ulu town canberra. they dont even have it in brisbane. yes! we bought like 2 dozens of it and brought it back. its that nice.

so thats my good day!

good day to u!
