Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...

to coincide with this current obsession i'm having with anything dance-related, i watched "Strictly Ballroom" today...


it's been a while since i've watched this movie but after watching it again today, it really struck a chord with me... for those who've never seen, let alone heard of the movie, it's about a dancer who's tired of being told what steps to dance and finds inspiration to dance his own steps... and of course, along the way, he falls in love with his dance partner... i reckon the way the leads fall in love with each other is so sweet... there's no need to add sex or long scenes of kissing to know that there's chemistry... my fave part of the movie is definitely the scene where they dance to the song "Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps" by Doris Day... makes me wanna find someone i can dance all my dances with *sighs*

You won't admit you love me
And so how am I ever to know?
You always tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...

A million times I've asked you
And then I ask you over again
You only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...

If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted

So if you really love me
Say yes, but if you don't dear, confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...

Uni officially sucks [so far]

i dunno about other pplz but i feel REALLY old at uni now... yeah yeah, i know i'm not 21 yet and yeah yeah, i know there's heaps of pplz at uni who r way older than me and probably twice my age but i can't help feeling this way... i'm a 4th yr student now and i'm still nowhere near finishing my degree... it's a depressing thought *sighs* should've thought about how long i was gonna be at uni b4 i decided to do a Law degree...

first week of uni has officially passed and i have to say on the whole, it was quite boring... Stats is a bore so far 'cause we're only reviewing stuff atm, Psych of Law and Justice is actually quite interesting so far, Property's not bad but i'm gonna get a little screwed over trying to keep up with what my lecturer is saying and Trusts is pretty boring... since i don't really know anyone's uni timetables atm, i've spent most of the first week by myself... which is okies considering i wanna make the most of my breaks by either studying or going to the gym... yeah, i know... it's a MAJOR shock considering a) i hardly ever study at uni besides during SWOTVAC and b) i don't usually go to the gym, let alone exercise... part of a new and improved me =)

one thing i'm looking forward to as the weeks pass is the [hopefully] shorter queues at uni... man, i couldn't do anything this week without having to stand in a queue that goes for miles and miles... getting something to eat/drink, getting money outta the ATM, getting on the bus, etc etc... maybe i've just become a very impatient person?! or maybe it's the time of the month hehe either way, maybe Shumin's right... the population of UQ has increased a LOT...

on a less bitchy note, i'm on my way to achieving the 21 things i wanna do b4 i turn 21... for those of u who dunno, instead of having new yr's resolutions this yr [which i don't stick to newayz], i have a list of things i wanna do b4 i turn that spesh age of 21... if u wanna look at the list, check out my notes on facebook... for those of u who don't have my facebook, find someone who does hehe i've done 2 things so far and hopefully i'll get a chance of achieving more as the weeks pass... wish me luck!! btw, if u wanna help me achieve some of the things, feel free to drop me a line... help is very much appreciated!!

one last thing b4 i sign off for another blog... i've noticed some pplz r a bit down about things atm [i admit, i'm a little down myself]... if it helps in any way, listen to a feel-good song... my feel-good song now is "Keep on Movin'" by Five... i know it's teenybopperish but ever since i heard it on the radio a couple of nites ago, i can't stop listening to it...

Get on up, when you're down baby
Take a good look around...
I know it's not much but it's OK
Keep on moving on anyway...

My first blog [here]

okies okies, call me a copycat or whatever but i figured since i'm blogging more often, i might as well blog on an actual blog site!! facebook's all well and good but i really think i should stop going on that site so often... it's like i don't have a life or something hehe

:: A FEW RANDOM THOUGHTS... ::

1. had a bit of an embarassing day at uni yesterday... started the day by waking up at nearly 12 and then after passing up 2 free rides to uni, i missed not 1, not 2, but 3 buses in a row... ended up being late for my only class of the day which started at 4pm... had to sit on the floor for the entire lecture 'cause there was no space left... and right after i went to sit down, i got a msg from Ketty and since i didn't have time to turn my phone to silent, my Homer Simpson msg tone went off and i was like "CRAP!!"... everyone was looking at me *sighs*

to top it off, i didn't have time to eat on the way to uni so i was absolutely starving by the time class rolled around and my stomach was grumbling REALLY loudly throughout half the lecture 'til the break when i got a packet of chips to eat >_<" also played a bit of poker at the Red Room which was crap 'cause i got crap cards the whole nite... to sum it all up, my first day of uni sucked ass!


2. Sun and Mon nites r officially my fave nites to watch TV... saw the last 2 eps of "So You Think You Can Dance" [my fave show atm] and i'm so shocked that Hilton ended up leaving... don't care so much for Kassy 'cause i wasn't the biggest fan of her to begin with [even though i think she's a decent dancer]... atm, my 2 fave couples r J.D. and Rhiannon [can't believe they were in the bottom 3 *shock horror*] and Demi and Jack... they're all awesome dancers!! makes me wanna learn to dance... but i'm so unco =(

3. to expand on point 2, SYTYCD has inspired me to try and get good at DDR again... a goal of mine that i've tried to achieve for the past few yrs [b4 i stopped playing DDR] was to pass "Sakura" on Standard mode... i always told myself that once i passed that song, i'd start playing Heavy mode on DDR... i've downloaded Stepmania onto my laptop and i can pass the song pretty easily with the keyboard so i'm gonna use that as a chance to learn the steps... i'm hoping soon enough that i will be able to pass this song with no help... how sad of me hehe wish me luck!!

4. i wanna say thanks to the following pplz:

to Julie: for the dedication on ur blog... i'm pretty sure u dunno this but it really brightened up my day when i saw that... i was feeling a little emo yesterday and seeing ur note cheered me up =) i'm glad u're doing better!!
to Jeann: for clearing up who beeped at me at Toowong... i was like "what the?!" when i heard the beeping and i couldn't make out who was waving at me... so don't think i was ignoring u or anything!! hehe

5. i also wanna welcome back Tiff who's back in Brissy today after spending waaaaaaaaaay too long in the Phillippines... i missed u so much girl!! *hugglez*

6. cooked my 2nd bowl of mee goreng ever today [i normally don't have mee goreng in the house...] and i thought everything was okies 'til i looked at the stove and found out i partially melted one of my Mum's microwaveable containers >_<" this is what happens when i actually cook stuff for a change *sighs*

that's it from me today... stay tuned for more randomness!!
