SRA Ball, Moving into South and *Bored*-Assignments...

My tourism lecture ended a wee bit early to day and ha it gave me some excuse and free time to actually update my blog. But most prob my close friends and love ones will find this as stale news already. Last Thursday was Uni's SRA Ball, the food was not too bad and much better than Culture Night and this was a bigger event than that too, with more students attending. Kiddo was really sweet buying us corsage and he just couldn't stop sayin how gorgeous we looked that night. haha... The ball at the Traralgon Function Hall lasted till bout 12am plus before we headed back to campus for the after party in the student union. The DJ really sucked cause he was playing all the retro songs we didn't like at all. When the DJ finally changed and he played R&B, most people had already left and we too left soon afterwards as we were really tired. No guesses that I didn't attend my 9am lecture the next day...

Check out the photos.






Oh and yes I just moved into my new place at the South Units last friday and I really love it there with the deco, large space and esp. closer to my friends and stuff... I was jumping with joy when I got my keys last fri and after class immediatly went home to start packing. With the help of Len, Sheali and Kiddo, my old room was cleared in less than 2 hours and so dinner was a KFC treat for their help... I managed to settle and get everything done in my room by Saturday. Went to a Photography Trip to Lake Entrance on Sat and it was kinda boring. Tigger and I said down and had coffee while chatting most of the time. We were joking that this was such a "high-class" outing casue we went so far just for drink and chat. The scenary was not too bad, but that was it. Most people go there for the seafood, fishing and sea sports during summer; which is not the right time we went at all. See my new room below:




Was supposed to start on my assignments (3 due next week) on Sunday and continue on Monday. But somehow, just couldn't get into the mood of doing it and my bb was really worried about my health cause I wasn't sleeping enough, as well as my assignments. He's as usual as sweet as ever and currently me helping me with one of it which I said I'll try to do it myself first and will take his only as the last resort. I finally started abit on my multimedia one last night and hate to know I have to force myself again for the rest of the week. Tom's Kiddo's 21st Birthday and he's celebrating it with Hermant and 2 other people as well. Word was going around about the big party in the South tom, and hate to say most likely I can't make it to 9am lecture again next day, but will definitely try my best. I just can't go on like this cause I don't wana do badly this last sem... "Oh god, pls bring me back the right track..." (*.*)

Tues Blues, another wasted off-day and coming BIG NIGHT...

Okay firstly I'm lying about the date I'm updating this blog. I have no idea time passes so fast and it's been a week since I last updated. Anyway to recap briefly what happened....
Tuesday was the usual tiring whole-day school and I was rather amazed that I did managed to wake up for the 9am class on a rainy day just to find out that quite a few number of people attended class. Remembering the nasty words from Student Rez on Monday, I walked pass the office that morning half wanting to go in and talk to the lady but somehow changed my mind. It was only until I met Tigger later in the afternoon did we went in Student Rez again together. Trying to keep my cool and hypocracy, I asked the lady direct if she was angry with me and guessed what? She cooly said no and stuff and asked me who told me all those things. Well, so we spoke again to the lady and the man and they now put the blame on Evon saying she hadn't returned the keys so we could not move in on Fri. But Evon had def. told us they wouldn't allow her to return till her lease expiry date. Tigger and I were def. convinced that they were really trying to make things difficult for us and called Evon up later...

Well, initially the 3 of us had decide to turn up together at Student Rez on Wed so that they could not push the blame and simply put words into our mouths... I didn't have to get to school when Tigger called me up and told me that when she and Evon went to return the keys in the afternoon, the lady changed her words again and said something else about returning the keys the other time. But when Tigger asked if she could move in on Fri then, the lady replied, "Come see me again on Monday and we'll decide." You have no idea how pissed off and angry she was and I was really going to give up on moving already. The rest of the afternoon was supposed to be spent on studying, but as the SRA ball was near, I just didn't have the mood and instead went on to do personal stuff like writing my mum a letter and trying on my gown and accessories... ;p

During the ISA meeting on Wed night, Stacy and I actually spoke to everyone about this matter cause I had already written an email to my mum stating the list if events that happened with Student Rez and asked her to prepare a complain letter. Was glad that we brought up the matter during the meeting and it was then only did we learned that the guy was actually not the one with the highest position in the office, but there was another Student Co-ordinator and Manager above them. Well, the plan was then to make and appointment with the manager and the 3 of us have a talk with him. But the call I got this morning was enough to make me and denise's day. Apprently our ISA VP had wanted to speak to the man about the Bus Rental stuff and since he wasn't free, he then started to have a little chat with the nice lady Student Co-0rdinator and told her our little story. So Denise went to see about 4pm and she actually apologized for the inconveniences that her staff had caused us. I went to see her on Friday and tolde her the whole story and got my keys as well... So the rest was history... haha... Im quite sure though the man who didn't handle things the correct way would get a "talk" with his manager...

ISA Meeting cum Nice Dinner, some so-call petty adults that pissed me off...

Yesterday was the ISA Constituition meeting held at Lyell's house and boy did we have a hard time trying to keep awake after the sumptious dinner that Lyell and Stacy prepared for us. The grill salmon, curry and garlic bread was enough to take me away from my diet and it sure made me a little guilty though, but I guessed no one could resist it. It lasted till about 9.30pm and by that time everyone was getting restless and was glad when it was finally over and we could leave. Pop over to South 3 after that and didn'texpect the "shit" I was gonna get after I got there...

Well, Hermant, Kiddo, Len and Tim were having some sort of kiddish playing around and I was dragged into it as well; len's and my shoes were hidden by them and we were chased around by Hermant with a bottle trying to get us...And I was splashed by water right in my face by kiddo, but we got back at him anyway with a cup of water splashed at his face and ice-cream on his head... haha =) Night was spent chatting with my bb and surfing net at the same time so that I could sleep earlier. Was glad I finally had a 7hours plus sleep and was more sober cause Tigger was worried about me as I didn't talk straight at all at church in the morning...
Today was the first day of the booth for registration for the Lake Entrance trip and there weren't much people cause I guess many of them don't even know about it because the posters were up only last friday. Well, the afternoon was dampened after Hermant had a talk with "someone" at Student Rez. I was so angryand in a state of shock that I just didn't know what to say after I heard what Hermant told me. Apparently I had been "rude" to a "MADAMMM" at the student rez and behaved in such an ass-hole way to her that she was pissed of at me... Damn, be thankful I didn't lose my temper already and she still had the cheek to say I was rude to her just cause I kept quiet and just walked out after she brought us round in circles and dragged things and made us rush back from Midvalley just to hear her say "Oh XXXXX's not coming in today and he won't be in till Tuesday. Perhaps I would have been nice if she had been helpful and talked to us in a friendly way... Well, imagine the head of student rez threatening a student that she could very well move out of campus if she's not happy...And asking me to stop harressing tigger to move out!

I had to control my emotions and finally broke down while talking to bb. I was so glad I called him and he asked me to stop crying else he'll sing the s'pore national anthem for me. I just broke into a laughter and dried my tears. His consolation really helped alot and I just don't know what I'll do without him; which I know I won't...rite ph-bb? Still, I couldn't help but think how hypocritical could people be on uni Open Days' be when they trick everyone into believing what an angel every staff is on the campus. Well, I'm not sayin there aren't nice people around, but my impression of moo-moo land actually degraded over the few months especially in their "Couldn't care less, no hurry" way of doing things. Thank god, it's my last semester here and I gotta admit that I really appreciate the speed of doing things in s'pore now. Now there's another push factor of wanting to stay in OZ... Having second thoughts bout moving house now, will see how it goes, but I'd definitely not giving in for something that I didn't do wrong at all. Sucking up and being hypocritical is just not me, especially to people I'm pissed of with...

Busy week, City "Amber" Clubbin & More Thoughts...

Just finished talkin on the phone with bb and I realised that I have no time at all for so many of my own stuff these days... The last whole week was a busy one with ISA booth for city trip, transition learning program, ISA meeting, Photography Club meeting, and going down city on fri again... I realise that I haven't been able to pay attention during lectures and my work at all. This is really making me feel very guity and I have to get down to setting some time aside before I can't catch up as the weeks go by quickly...

Anyway, some of the significant things that happened were:
1) Heard from Jaclyn that David from EMIT had asked if I was interested to help out in desiginin the mini poster ads they have in "SEVEN" the campus leaftlet updating everyone of activities for the week. I could help out abit cause there was no one but hope it doens't take up too much time cause its supposed to be small little ads only....
2) Was really pissed of by the people at Student Rez and to think that aussies were supposed to be friendly and helpful people -> I guess there are some nasty ones around too. How difficult can it be just to understand us students and let Tigger and me move into our rooms in the South asap since evon has already submitted her key so that we do not need to waste more time next week as assignments come along? Guess it just boils down to the fact of the laziness for the paperwork needed to be done; easy for them if we wait till Aug13. Darn, and to think we wanted to move on Sunday...
3) Was down in city on fri night and went AMBER clubbin with kiddo and len. Imagine how coincidental can it be to meet darrel they all in car while we were crossing the road... Anyway, 1st and last time that's enough as we just wanted to try the music out there. It was scary though how bold and daring guys in the city were that len and I had not much fun running away from them as they bug us and asked for our hp numbers... And boy were they all yucky man...
4) Kiddo's friends said I look like is sister, haha I reckon so too, so he kinda calls me "jiejie" sometimes in which I return a "Thanks, Im not so old" look...

The truth is I don't like the feeling of feeling distant from bb and Im glad that whenever I do have a little of that feeling, the warmness and love just comes back naturally when we start talking on the phone. I admit I try very hard to feel his love sometimes because of the distance but I do not that I will never want to give him up because I know I'll regret it forever. Much as I'll miss len and kiddo at the end of the year, I do also wanna see bb soon and hope things will work out between us so that we will never be seperated from him again? It's late and as I sub-consiously write this blog, I find myself falling asleep already.... (-.-)

Down City again. Nova and Shoppin with Tigger...

Had the 1st Photography Club meetin this sem on Thurs and it was good to hear that we managed to arrange for a few of the interesting courses like Portrait and Dark Room. The landscape course was incorporated into a trip to Lake Entrance. "Haha", it was my idea cause I haven't been there and thus wana go. So sweet of Tigger to actually bring Herbal Tea for me after the meeting when she knew my throat hasn't totally recovered too...
Nowdays, fri's are crappy days with a tutorial class at 9am and next one at 3pm. Managed to finish the Melbourne Shopping trip poster that day and pasted it all around uni. Was supposed to be good gal and stay at home on Sat but eventually went down city again with Len and Kiddo cause we promised to help him choose his suit and shoes for the SRA ball. Rushed back on the same night as we were going to Traralgon NOVA clubbin...

I wonder how my brain and body sustain themselves sometimes cause I have been sleeping like only 4 to 5 hours the whole of this week , but I guess the pill "helps" a little in keeping me awake. I can't keep this going any longer, its really bad for health. and most importantly Bb's been telling me off about it out of concern. Guess I have to listen and try to get more rest else he threaten to not take care of himself too! Very smart of him to use this... (*-*) Dragged myself out of bed this morning for Sunday Mass when I barely slept only 3hours. Went to Traralgon with Tigger after that and we ate, chatted and did a little shopping together. Was glad we were going back S'pore together at end year so that I won't have to miss another best friend so much... We bought a Taro Bear keychain and each kept one side of it... Awww, so sweeet huhh...

Anyway, as we were chatting I also told her that one of the few things that I will miss after I leave are the picturesque view of the scenary as we are driving back uni from Morwell and of cause Len and Kiddo so much so that I try to video tape most of our outings. Kiddo's humour really bowls us over sometimes and send us rolling on the floor laughing non-stop. We chatted and made plans to meet up already in S'pore and KL. I was actually getting teary eyed at the thought of waving goodbye to them at the airport. They actually asked me to stay on for honours another year and I could only gave them an "Erm... I don't think so..." look and I admit there are really many things running through my mind like what will the future hold depending on the path I choose. Drop that subject for the time being... But I can't help the feeling of "Happiness" and being fortunate everytime I talk to my Bb and knowing that I have him... And I know I could never bear to give him up... (+_+)
