3. Party time nearly over. Need to get back to reality soon.
4. Gotta love random Christmas parties, especially when you have 2 of them!!

6. It's long overdue. Need to have 'the talk' and settle it once and for all.
7. Need to learn to let go in more ways than one.
8. Stop blurring the lines. It leads to unnecessary analysis.

That I can't explain the way that it's making me feel...
11. Dating a musician would be kinda hot.
12. To go or not to go? I better decide soon.
13. I'm starting to miss you. Stop holidaying already.
14. Need to blog more in 2011.
15. Need to exercise more in 2011.
16. Need to have more girly talks in 2011.
17. Need to expand my horizons in 2011.
18. Need to learn more in general in 2011.
19. Always love, but never in love. Shame.
20. Can't wait for the next paycheck. RICHHHHHHHH.
21. Rain, rain go away. Come again in 2011.
22. Move your body out on the floor
Put your troubles aside and start living
Anybody, can't let go
Throw away all your problems 'cause right now it's party time
23. Happy New Year 2011!!! xoxo

Goodbye my friend...
A few days back, a friend lost his life in a car accident. When something like this happens, you can't help but feel a bit lost inside with emotions. Denial, sadness, uncertainty... it's all pretty hard to handle. If anything, I'd like to dedicate this blog to him and send him one of my final well wishes.
Most of my memories with Jeremy were during our days at Myer. He worked in menswear, I worked in ladieswear but we always managed to cross paths during our shifts. I remember so many times we'd talk for ages about things and then have to run off 'cause we were both afraid of getting into trouble. He'd always be getting up to mischief but he had such a great heart. Great sense of humour, cute smile, always so warm and friendly to everyone he knew. It saddened me when he quit work to focus on his med studies but I always knew he'd destined for great things. The last time I saw him was a few months ago when he came to visit work to see how everyone was doing. If I knew it was the last time I'd see him, I would've given him a great, big hug and told him what a great person he was and how grateful I am for having known him.
You were too young to be taken away. I'll always cherish the memories we had and remember all the good times. I'll miss you dearly. Rest in peace Jeremy.
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way...

Anti-social butterfly?
On the home stretch of exam mode. 2ish days left and it's all over for another year. Wish I could say it's all over once and for all but things just don't go as planned sometimes. Oh well.
So I've been in hermit mode for over a month already and it feels like routine now. Sure, I come out for the occasional gathering but I don't feel this urge to go out anymore. Once I finish exams, all I feel like doing is spend more time with myself catching up on all my [non-uni-related] reading, my TV shows, my K-dramas, my TVB series and movies. I also wanna lie on the grass somewhere and spend the day looking up at the sky with nothing but my music and any passing thoughts.
Is the social butterfly becoming a hermit crab? I guess we'll see in the next week...
In other news, I'm loving The Script's new album. I'm falling more and more in love with their music. I dunno why but their lyrics really get to me.
The blissful highs...
You won't find faith or hope down a telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
You can break everything, down to chemicals
But you can't explain a love like ours.
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real.
The agonising lows...
I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words,
And she'll listen this time even though they're slurred,
So I dialed her number and confessed to her,
I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing
She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing.
Can't wait to see you guys on the 10th of April. In the meantime, you'll be singing to me on my iTunes.

These are a few of my favourite things...
It's been a fair while since I've posted a blog with loads of photos. Since I haven't photowhored lately, let me share with my dear audience a few of my favourite things at the moment. No raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles, warm woollen mittens or brown paper packages tied up with strings here. Go watch 'The Sound of Music' for that, you weirdo hehe
1. Funny printed tees. I think I've bought like 6 printed tees in the last month. Wanna buy more!! Here's a personal fave that I so wanna buy but most likely wouldn't wear in public.
2. OPI nail polish. I'm so running out to buy some more once I finish exams as a gift to myself. I'm thinking of buying this shade next. Ooh, glittery green!! ^__^
3. Rock music. Currently got the 'Triple J Hottest 100 of All Time, 2009' on repeat right now. I know not all the songs on that list are rock, but meh, it's a pretty good mix of old and new songs.
4. Korean dramas. Re-watching 'Boys over Flowers' and gonna finish off re-reading 'Conversations Between Us' soon enough. Lee Min Ho, you'll be in my dreams tonight and all throughout my exams.
5. Grain Waves. My study snack food of choice. The Sour Cream and Chives flavour is to freakin' die for. Probably one of the only snack foods I'm willing to pay full price for at the supermarkets.
6. Futurama. FINALLY getting around to watching the movies and now I wanna watch the whole series again. Loving it so much that I have the remixed theme song as one of my ringtones now!!
OK, enough 'sharing is caring' time. Need to finish this submission once and for all and get back to study. SIGH.

Catharsis 23 - October
1. Finished watching Love Battlefield [愛 作戰] and I'll keep in mind next time not to hype myself up so much about a movie. Movie was still good, but really shouldn't have read up on it beforehand. Should've let the movie just surprise me.
2. Come on Nov 2nd, come around so I can get a decent night's sleep again...
3. Printed tees ftw. I want more!!!
4. Note to self: HK movie marathon once I finish exams. Or maybe after the 2nd.
5. Feels like everyone's moving forward and I'm still stuck in a rut. SIGH.
6. Still cursed or has it been lifted? Only time will tell...
7. Thanks for the pep talk. Lotsa 'woo hoo's' and fist pumping to be had in the next couple of weeks.
8. Why are you guys talking to me all of a sudden? It kinda weirds me out.
9. 'Life is what our thoughts make it.' - Marcus Aurelius. Well said.
10. Congrats on your first successful charity event. So glad to be a part of it!!
11. Should stop hanging out with guys in dark places in the middle of the night.
12. Holiday or no holiday? PLT with study or job with study? QUT or Griffith PLT? Ahhh... too much freakin' choice. ><"
13. I wish for love in the coming year. To immerse myself in someone else and to wake a heart long afraid to feel. If my wish is granted and if having that is tragic, then give me tragedy. Wise words indeed, Peyton.
14. Bah, cramped exam timetables don't help motivate study at all...
15. Why am I thinking about you again all of a sudden? Another momentary lapse?
16. Awesome catchup ladies. More karaoke fun and stuffing ourselves with food and drinks soon!!
17. Weird how I'm put off reading my notes but I really wanna read a book right now.
18. New nail colour. Love it love it love it.
19. I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day,
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way...
20. The world's moving too fast for me. Slow down so I can catch up.
21. I am so getting my hip hop and skipping on once I finish exams. Feel so fattttttttttttttt.
22. Am also pampering myself once the exams finish. New haircut and colour also needed.
23. As the years look past us,
If we lose track or lose the fight,
I will search forever to find a way back to tonight...

Blah.
The hellish month of October has begun.
Many, many, many lecture recordings to listen to [I dunno the exact number and I don't want to for fear of not being able to finish them all in time].
A whole month of stress, anti-socialness, many sleeps full of worry, many cups of coffee and Red Bull drank and who knows what else.
And why am I fully hermiting and working my ass off? Dunno.
It just doesn't seem worth it in the end.
=(
First, I gotta get this dumb seminar outta the way.
Pray that I don't fall asleep halfway through it or end up saying something stupid.

3. Board game addiction. Want. Board. Games.
4. Worst day ever. Not even the 24th year yet either. SIGH.
5. Anger. Disappointment. Resentment. Sadness. You name it, I probably feel it.
6. So sucky how you're such a great person and they don't see it. Their loss.
7. Been there, done that, messed around
I'm having fun, don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet...
8. You probably have a good explanation but it's so hard to give you the benefit of the doubt right now.
9. Thanks to all who have listened. Hope I never have to vent like that again.
10. Thanks everyone, love the pressies!!!
11. Sorry if it feels like you're in the middle of all this. I'll build a bridge and get over it soon.
12. Why all the awkwardness? Why can't we all get along anymore?
13. Getting my creative on is fun.
14. I'm bringing sentimentality back. YEAH.
15. Damn, I need a wardrobe update.
16. Catch up catch up catch up time. Friends, uni, TV shows, everything!!!
17. I want my own entourage.
18. Sudden urge to play poker again.
19. Bah, unrequited crushes suck.
20. Go Dragons! Don't fail me now.
21. Hang in there dear. With what you've gone through this year, things have to look up for you from now on. I'll make sure of it.
22. Must blog more. Like seriously.
23. Gotta start lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin'
If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
gotta live like we're dying...
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets...

Last day of 22
Can't believe I'm spending the last day of my 22nd year frantically finishing assignments. I had a whole weekend to party it up too!!! Oh well, considering the number of b'day celebrations I had last year, it's probably a good thing that I'm hermiting at home this year.
Having said that, I'm already feeling the b'day love!! =) Friends are already offering to take me out [just a matter of when and whether they'll keep their word now hehe], I've had visits to my house and I've gotten my first b'day pressie!!!
I'll keep it short and sweet today. With about 3.5 hours left of 22, here's hoping that I have an awesome 23rd b'day and a kickass year to come.
Actually, I'll be happy just to finish these assignments on time plus get good marks for them. B'day miracle, work your magic please!!!

And the world's worst friend award goes to... ME.
So the bitch has a conscience after all.
Despite the random and somewhat unpredictable night I ended up having tonight, deep down I just couldn't properly enjoy myself. All the 'jokes' made cut me real deep and it was like having my worst thoughts and fears come to life.
The question that still puzzles me is why it happened and how I let it happen. It doesn't make any sense and it's seriously not like me.
Whatever it is, at least I know this: I am my own worst enemy.

Confessions of a bitchaholic
Hello, my name is Angie. And I'm a bitchaholic.
Over the years, I never thought of myself as very bitchy. Even though I went to an all girls' school and such, I always thought I turned out OK in the bitch department. Maybe I just compared myself to some REALLY bitchy people and just thought 'Yeah, I'm definitely not as bitchy as her. I'm fine'.
Lately, my cynical side has come back to haunt me and unleashed a big can of bitchass. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone recently with the stuff I've said or done. I'll make it up to you soon enough!! I'm a big believer in karma so if I've done wrong by you, tell me or I'm gonna be cursed for a while!!!
Anyway, onto other things, I FINISHED BRIDGE TO BRISBANE today!!! Go Team Mad Sea hehe
[M] inh
[A] ndrew
[D] avid
[S] andy
[E] dwin
[A] ngie
Definitely up for it again next year!!! Still can't believe I can walk 5km in less than an hour. I really need to go out walking more and get back to proper exercise. Whip this lazy ass into shape hehe
Also got to catch up with my girly girls today for a nice picnic in New Farm Park. Always a pleasure and always so much fun talking and laughing about each other, guys, everything!! Hoping we all get to catch up again soon and can't wait to see all the photos =)
Sleepy time, need more sleep!!! Note to self: less 4:30am sleep times, more 8+ hr sleeps.

August, how i hate thee...
Not sure whether many people know this, but I've always had this hateful relationship with the month of August. I dunno whether it's just coincidence or plain bad luck, but bad things always seem to happen to me during this month. Deaths, farewells, frantic assignment doing/exam studying, you name it, it's probably happened.
Main thing I have to complain about this month is my grad applications. I had two weeks to do them but knowing my last minute nature, I left it to the last two days to do them. Sent them all out with time to spare only to find out that my penultimate year [which I said in my cover letters that I was in] is actually my SECOND LAST YEAR, not my final year. I could've died. Oh well, I'm over it now. Bring on the rejections and I'll soon be welcoming unemployment with open arms in the next few months. Moral of the story: don't try to sound smart.
In other news, I'm frantically trying to catch up on everything. Doing 5 subjects in my final semester of uni is starting to take its toll on me. I've been bitchier than usual, venting about things I normally wouldn't even make a big deal over and all I was doing about it up until the last couple of days was avoiding it all and distracting myself.
Then again, I always like a good distraction. Here's a snapshot of my distractions in August:
There's also been some yum cha-ing, Ikea strolling, football game watching, catch ups and the like. I really should take happy snaps again. Maybe when September rolls around. 11 days left of August!!! HELL YEAH!!! =)

Catharsis 23 - August
1. Grad applications. You'll be the death of me.
2. The song always ends but is that any reason not to enjoy the music?
3. Funny how a supposedly minor event can have such major repercussions.
4. Is it so hard for a good thing to just stay the way it is?
5. So glad you're back. People don't always leave after all.
6. Quit playing games with my heart. It's not fun anymore.
7. It's so easy to play the blame game when you don't know the full story.
8. Season 3 of One Tree Hill = Best. Season. Ever.
9. Except it's making me more emo and angry than usual.
10. I could really use a hug and the reassurance that everything will be OK in the end.
11. Shouldn't be so bitter with you. At least you're happy.
12. Am I that protective of you or am I just scared that you'll leave me behind?
13. Never used to be that superstitious. I think I am now.
14. 1 down, 22 to go.
15. Please stop pissing me off. I may actually stop talking to you one day.
16. Since when did time decide to fast forward really quickly?
17. Well baby I got news for you
It's time to get a taste of your own medicine...
18. Still don't like you August despite the good times I've had so far.
19. Back to being #2 on everyone's list again.
20. I've gotta get a stress-free, worry-free sleep one of these days.
21. Need to start writing stuff down again.
22. I'd so down a block of chocolate if I wasn't feeling so fat right now. SIGH.
23. I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did, I did...

10. I could really use a hug and the reassurance that everything will be OK in the end.
11. Shouldn't be so bitter with you. At least you're happy.
12. Am I that protective of you or am I just scared that you'll leave me behind?
13. Never used to be that superstitious. I think I am now.
14. 1 down, 22 to go.
15. Please stop pissing me off. I may actually stop talking to you one day.
16. Since when did time decide to fast forward really quickly?
17. Well baby I got news for you
It's time to get a taste of your own medicine...
18. Still don't like you August despite the good times I've had so far.
19. Back to being #2 on everyone's list again.
20. I've gotta get a stress-free, worry-free sleep one of these days.
21. Need to start writing stuff down again.
22. I'd so down a block of chocolate if I wasn't feeling so fat right now. SIGH.
23. I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did, I did...

Blogging is so hot right now
Lacking in ideas for a creative title for tonight's blog. Meh.
Figured I'd get my blogging on since I had a pretty cool day even though I didn't do a whole lot. Did a little study, took in the company of my darling niece [when she wasn't crying], enjoyed the fresh [but hella cold] air while watching 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' at King George Square and tried [but failed completely] at playing Wii games at Anne's brother's place.
Also finished off my nails with a little top coat. This is my colour of choice at the moment:
I think I had a run of good luck today. Firstly, both the teams I tipped for footy won. I also finally stopped playing the waiting game and found out the date of my special exam.
Wednesday 21st July at 8am.
HELL YEAH!!! I guess UQ's good to me after all by not getting in the way of my Sydney trip!!! Now I gotta make sure I don't get stuck in traffic AGAIN and that this trip is le awesome since I seem to be missing out on a fair few events. Why must everything fall on those few days?! *sighs*
I only have a few days left of holidays and I have to say, this is possibly the best holiday I've had. Despite it being cut short due to my special exam and doing 2 subjects at QUT this semester, it's been a blast. I never would have guessed that my holiday would be filled with such variety, such unexpected news and such a weird, twisted turn of events.
Looking back at what I wanted for the rest of this holiday:
~ Argentina didn't end up winning the World Cup but I guess I'm glad Germany didn't win either.
~ I got my special exam on the 21st of July. Now I just gotta ace it.
~ My finances are on its way back on track and the money is flowing in. Love it.
~ I got the marks I wanted pending what I get for this special exam.
~ My room isn't yet clean but I'm planning to get to it after I wake up.
~ Something unexpected did happen. And not just to me. Now just gotta wait and see how this situation works out. Stay tuned!!!
OK, better get some shut eye. There was a reason I didn't go clubbing tonight.

Baby I'm getting better...
The title of today's blog serves 2 purposes:
1. To highlight that I'm actually recovering from my minor illness [Frick on a stick, I'm sick for the third time this year... it's a record!!!]
2. To let the world know that the new and improved me is back and better than ever!!!
So the title of today's blog [as are a lotta my blog titles] comes from a song by Gyroscope. Unlike the song, I don't owe my change in outlook to a single person in particular, but a few people who've put a lotta things into perspective for me. And for that, I'd like to say a few brief thank yous.
+ Thanks for being my kindred spirit. It's freakishly cool knowing that there's actually people out there who just get me and who I can just get.
+ Thanks for reminding me that it's OK to be emotionally vulnerable and that there's always a positive way of looking at a seemingly negative situation.
+ Thanks for not letting time ruin what an awesome bond we have.
+ Thanks for always saving me from myself and knowing the right things to say.
+ Thanks for just being you. It's good to know that some things don't ever change after all this time we've known each other.
+ Thanks for being a breath of fresh air and expanding my horizons. It's great to know that there are people out there who do live outside the square.
+ Thanks for listening and for looking out for me. We may not always see eye to eye about everything, but knowing you care and take time out for me is always appreciated.
On a related note, thanks to the encouragement of family and friends plus a bit of self-motivation, I've been trying to get my life re-sorted. I've already started by cleaning up my closet and bathroom [still got the lounge and bedroom to go] and trying to take regular walks. Once my financial situation is back on track, I can get around to sorting my money-related things like debts and finally saving up for a trip at the end of the year!! Don't worry, I have it all written down on my to-do list for the rest of 2010 =)
Would like to babble on some more but my attention span in writing blogs seems to get shorter and shorter at the years go by. I'll leave my dear readers with a recommended movie: 500 Days of Summer!!! Probably one of the best movies I've seen in a while and quite a frontrunner as one of my fave films. Highly recommended for those who want a movie outta the ordinary and want a movie that actually speaks to reality and to the heart. Watch it!!! Do ittttttttttt *shakes fist*

THE HOLIDAY MADNESS!!!
So I'm into Week 2 of my holiday and I have to say so far, it's been HELLA AWESOME!! In the span of nearly 2 weeks, I've done the following [in no particular order]:
1. Gone clubbing [and in the midst of it, watched the Brazil-Portugal game]
Check me out... I'm a nerd!! And I'm drinking!!! *shock horror*
2. Watched 'Shrek 4' and 'Toy Story 3' in 3D. Feel like such a kid again.
3. I've drank chai tea [TWICE!!] at 3 Monkeys. Love love love that place.
4. Bought tickets to Owl City. It's not 'til November so I'm gonna cry if I end up having an exam that night.
5. Finally went to a football game and sat right at the 50m line. Great view and great atmosphere!! Would've been better if Broncos won though =( Stupid last min try!!!!!!!!!!!
6. Went to Ron Mueck and even got to check out parts of the Art Gallery. Love getting my art on.
Being tourists outside GOMA... love it!
7. Have watched more sports than you can poke a stick at. World Cup, rugby league, Wimbledon, you name it, I've probably watched it.
8. Caught up with a fair few of my friends.
Still so much to look forward to. Things are looking up for me!!
What will REALLY make my holiday is:
~ if Argentina win their game tonight. GO ARGENTINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~ if I get my special exam on the 21st July.
~ if I can get my finances back on track.
~ if I get the marks I want on Wednesday.
~ if I can get my room clean. Like CLEAN.
~ if something unexpected happens. In a good way of course. Could do with a good twist of fate.
I'm on such a high right now. Might be 'cause I'm cranking 'Fireflies' by Owl City on repeat.

Catharsis 23 - June
1. What a horrible series of unfortunate events.
2. How can we be friends?
It just don't make sense,
You're just too damn beautiful,
You make it impossible,
You make it impossible not to fall...
3. Nothing like a hermit session to get a little perspective.
4. Can't wait 'til the whole ordeal is over.
5. Can't even finish exams in peace... ARGH!!!
6. I wanna tell you so badly, but no words will come out.
7. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. *breathes in and out*
8. I fooled everyone and now what will i become?
I have to start this over...
9. And now to play the waiting game. Many, many games.
10. ZOMG, I have a LOT of work to do to get you back into shape.
11. Sorry to hear the bad news. Remember, you're headed for way better things.
12. Haven't had a proper chance to say congrats. Celebration is overdue.
13. I'm here for you no matter what you decide. Bitches stick together.
14. What do I want to do???
15. The tables seem to have turned. SIGH.
16. Still spending money like no tomorrow. Must. Stop.
17. Can't wait to hang out with you. Fun(ny) times must be had.
18. Love love love. Thanks for the chats and randomness.
19. Gotta stop playing the blame game.
20. ZOMG, it's been too long. Catch up is long, long, long overdue.
21. I'm going down, I'll be coming back fighting,
I may be scared and a little bit frightened,
But I'll be back, I'll be coming back to life,
I'll be coming back to life...
22. Good luck. Add oil. Will see you all at the finish line soon.
23. Holy crap, I only have a week to make my list!!!!!!!!!!

Fare thee well for the time being...
I made a sudden realisation today.
In the midst of all the craziness and the drama out there, I've lost sight of who I really am.
There's only so much you can take and keep bottled up before you ultimately crack.
I've really thrown myself in the deep end here and I can't stop drowning.
As Coldplay so rightly sings out:
In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah...
I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed
I was lost, oh yeah...
After a really eye-opening talk with one of my closest friends, I realised I'm just avoiding what's on my mind and distracting myself with everybody else's drama.
So that's it. No more drama for me.
Must deal with what's going on alone with just my thoughts and surrounding exam notes.
Must keep the focus. Gotta keep it simple.
So the social butterfly is going into hiding.
I've deactivated the FB account and probably won't be on MSN for quite a while.
But don't worry, I'm endeavouring to come out of all of this with a smile on my face, a clear head and high hopes for the future.
Stay tuned for a new and improved me.
A last note to everyone:
For the uni students, good luck for your exams.
For the full-timers, enjoy and make the most of your long weekend.

It's come to that time.
I am sick. ONCE AGAIN!!!
I swear I don't get sick this often. Don't even know how this came about!!
In the midst of my illness, I've noticed a few things:
1. I'm more caring and less bitchy.
2. I think about things more than normal.
3. I'm always craving what I can't have. Things like chocolate, coffee, hot chocolate, chips, pearl tea, etc etc.
Probably not the best time to blog considering I'm WAY behind in my lecture recordings but meh, this will be more interesting to read in the end than my lecture notes.
So I was thinking about some of the conversations I've had with friends lately. I actually think I've changed heaps over the last month. If you don't talk to me on a regular basis, you probably wouldn't have noticed. For those who dunno, long story cut short, I HAVE A DARK SIDE. I didn't think it was that bad at first but I think I've suppressed it all these years until now. Don't even know what triggered it. And for the record, I don't like it. It's created a lotta uncertainty in myself and it's really been an eye-opener. Dunno what to do...
On the bright side, my one month ban on shopping for myself and Maccas ends today. Hurrah!! I'm grabbing Maccas for lunch and gonna shop with Mummy dearest at the Myer stocktake sale preview tomorrow night.
I thought this was gonna be a longer blog post but I got side-tracked by other things. Maybe I'll elaborate when I'm not in so much of a coughing fit.

Catharsis 23 - May
1. 'Don't make someone a priority if they only make you an option.' Rings way too true in my opinion.
2. Really want a change of scenery soon.
3. It's a bit chilly.
4. Am I hooked? If I am, frick on a stick with a brick.
5. Even though it was the first and last time, I'm so glad I went.
6. I don't wanna be your doormat anymore. It's just not worth it.
7. The cynic inside has come back. Awesome.
8. Even though I don't see you as much as I used to, you always know how to get me laughing and get my mind off things.
9. Can't please anyone if I can't please myself first.
10. Another crap exam timetable. SIGH.
11. Taking one for the team is gayness up the anus.
12. Why does emotion always trump logic? Why why why why why???
13. What a surprise. Did better than expected.
14. Ahhh... where are you when I need you? I need to spill my guts.
15. Well, I won't be the one to disappoint you anymore...
16. This better be worth it all. I'm gonna be annoyed if it doesn't work out.
17. Please don't do me any favours. I'm really not worth it.
18. Get me some loud rock music please.
19. Sometimes I wish I had your mentality. Stupid, complex mind of mine.
20. Freakin' make up your mind. Even I'm getting annoyed.
21. Will be so glad when this is over tomorrow.
22. Wish I could just stay in bed all day and night. It means I won't have to deal with anything. Just sleep.
23. I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this...

No motivation la...
Been stalking my friends' blogs lately and I've noticed that most make their blogs more interesting by adding random photos here and there. I'm joining the bandwagon and will endeavour to add photos when I can between my boring lines of text.
In less exciting news, it's less than 12 hrs before my dreaded Corp Law exam. ZOMG, there is so much to read and so little time!!! *sighs* Below is the amount of notes I have to read for 4 weeks' worth of the course plus the amount of tabs [spammage much?] in my Corp legislation.
Can't get myself to read for long periods of time so I procrastinated by splurging a bit at JB Hifi and now I'm blogging and catching glimpses of the Broncos-Bulldogs and the Cowboys-Eels games. Could've been getting ready to go to Babyface now =(
Now that I'm watching the footy, I'm so devo at the Storm scandal. Although now that I properly think about it, I'm surprised the breach took so long to uncover. Just look at who's on the team!! Sif you'd be within the salary cap with players like Slater, Smith and Inglis. Oh well, I only hope that Melbourne try to make up for it with some solid games and hopefully Slater, Inglis, Smith and Cronk get picked for Origin.
On the bright side, can't wait for brekkie tomorrow!!! Plus it's long weekend too so I should probably make some plans. Any ideas?

Sick of being sick...
I have an essay due on Monday.
Word limit: 1500-2000.
Number of words written: 0.
Screwed much?
Doesn't help that I'm sick as well. So convenient that I haven't been sick at all this year and as soon as I do, it's at a time when I really need to be well *sighs* Just gotta suck it up, build a bridge and get over it.
On the upside, I've been spending some quality time with some quality friends lately. My dearest CC came up for a visit over Easter and it was good to see her lovely face again. The Skype session was also a blast!! Can't wait to see you again my dear =) Also went to Anne's farewell over the weekend and I was glad I got to go 'cause I always seem to miss out on her other celebratory gatherings like her 21st and her graduation. I'm gonna miss you so much when you leave though =(
More fun times to come. About to head to my Japan group reunion for ramen ^__^ Hopefully that and a mah jong session will get me motivated to smash this assignment [in a good way].

Can't wait to see you again my dear =) Also went to Anne's farewell over the weekend and I was glad I got to go 'cause I always seem to miss out on her other celebratory gatherings like her 21st and her graduation. I'm gonna miss you so much when you leave though =(
More fun times to come. About to head to my Japan group reunion for ramen ^__^ Hopefully that and a mah jong session will get me motivated to smash this assignment [in a good way].

Catharsis 23 - March
Holy crap, I can't believe it's been over 2 months since I last blogged. Forgive my slackness!!! As always, I will endeavour to blog more but knowing my laziness, it's not guaranteed. Instead of writing a 10 000 word essay on what I've been doing the last 2ish months, I'll be cryptic and write it out in my [formerly] monthly catharsis.
1. This has gotta stop... but old habits die hard.
2. Too much spendage, not enough saveage.
3. The oldness has really started to kick in.
4. 7ish months left to go. That time's gonna fly by so fast.
5. Feel like giving up on this.
6. Why do I always have a soft spot for you? I know you're no good for me.
7. And you too? You'll never see me that way.
8. Need to stop blending in. Gotta stand out somehow.
9. Nice girls finish last too.
10. Been an aunt for over a month now. Can't wait for babysitting duties.
11. I'll miss you muchly when you're gone. I know it.
12. Don't want to talk... all I hear is noise...
13. Can't wait 'til you're back. It's been way too long.
14. So glad you're back. It's all back to basics with you.
15. So much to do, slowly running outta time.
16. Crap, getting to this again.
17. Thanks for the eye-opening experience.
18. When's my turn to be #1?
19. Must. clean. NOW.
20. Need [good] sleep.
21. Need [good] alone time.
22. Where'd you go? I was so into you at the start of this year.
23. If I lose you, I'm gonna cry.

The year that was 2009
Firstly, I'd like to say a belated HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 to everyone I haven't already said it to!! 2009 was a pretty kickass year compared to previous years and usually, I like to reflect on it by completing this quiz. I'm too lazy to write down a whole story about my feelings on the year so this is what you get.
1. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?
Just to name a few,
- I went to Japan and it was also my first trip overseas with friends
- I played for money in mah jong
- I went camping
- I went mini-golfing
- I learned and performed a dance routine in front of people
- I went to a magic show
There's heaps more but it's pretty random stuff.
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don't believe I made any resolutions. I always end up forgetting my resolutions like a week later anyway. I probably said some crap like 'I need to study harder, get fit, organise myself better' etc etc and if I did, I didn't keep them. The only resolution I wanna make this year is that I wanna be a better person. It's pretty general, but there's many facets of my life I need to improve right now.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Nope, but my sis is due to give birth to my niece next month =)
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Yeah, and it really, really sucks 'cause I hadn't seen her for years and years =(
5. What countries did you visit?
Japan. I am so going back someday.
6. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009?
A new job, new laptop, a university degree, a clean room, I wouldn't mind a boyfriend either hehe
7. What date from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
30/1 - 2/2 ~ Melbourne trip with CC and Ketty
2/7 - 6/7 ~ Sydney trip
8/8, 14/8, 18/9 ~ My 22nd b'day celebrations
25/11 - 13/12 ~ Japan trip
29/12 - 31/12 ~ Camping trip
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I can't think of anything particularly big. I'll just say that I've learned a lotta lessons about myself and the people around me.
9. What was your biggest failure?
I didn't realise until the end of the year that I was kinda unhappy in my life 'cause I'm stuck in a bit of a rut with a degree that is taking forever and a job that I should've quit a long, long time ago. All good, I know now so it's time for me to do something about it this year!!
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I got the chicken pox early on in the year but other than that, nothing too bad.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Concert tickets, my plane tickets to Melbourne, Sydney and Japan, and I'd love to say my portable hard drive but it's a little too early to tell right now.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
As I say every year, everyone who graduated and found themselves full-time jobs. Well done and congrats!!!
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
For some part of the year, I'd have to say my own behaviour.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Food, b'day pressies, travelling.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
All the trips I went on this year. I travelled to Melbourne, Sydney and Japan this year which is a bit of a high for me 'cause I normally don't travel so much and it's been 5 years since I last went overseas.
16. What song will always remind you of 2009?
'I'm On a Boat' and 'Jizz In My Pants' by Lonely Island
'Gee' by Girls Generation
'Sorry Sorry' by Super Junior
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? Happier
ii. thinner or fatter? Fatter *sighs*
iii. richer or poorer? Maybe slightly richer
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
The usual things - exercise, study, cleaning, sleeping, reading. I'm sure there's way more.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
The usual once again - bitching, whinging, procrastinating, lazing around.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Last year, I had a nice lunch with family and spent the day chilling since it was a day off from my hardcore work schedule. Not sure what this Christmas will bring.
22. Did you fall in love in 2009?
Nope, I wasn't really up for it in 2009.
23. How many one-night stands?
None
24. What was your favorite TV program?
The same as it's always been. I don't think I added any new shows to my list.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Nope, I'm not a hater.
26. What was the best book you read?
It's not technically a book but I read 'Conversations Between Us' online and it was such a great read.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Jessica Mauboy. She's a great Australian singer and has really good R&B songs. So glad I got to see her live at the Beyonce concert.
28. What did you want and get?
My portable hard drive, new phone, several holidays, tickets to P!nk, Beyonce, Jay Chou and David Copperfield and way more.
29. What did you want and not get?
A new job, no 4s for my subjects, a clean room, a better phone, the list goes on.
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
Not a lot to choose from this year. 'The Hangover' was pretty damn funny and 'Mao's Last Dancer' was way more enjoyable than I thought. I'd also say 'Red Cliff' but I haven't seen the 2nd part yet.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I turned 22 in 2009 and I probably had a few too many b'day celebrations. Kicked things off by hosting a gambling day/night at my place which in the end, wasn't much of a b'day thing at all, then had dinner at Pane e Vino with another group, then had my official b'day thing at my place again. I didn't do all these things at once just so you guys know hehe
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
I'm sure I can name more than one thing. I'll just say a new job.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2009?
The same as it's always been... black with some colour thrown in every so often.
34. What kept you sane?
Friends, family, music, sleep.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Lee Dong Wook and now Lee Min Ho. OMG, I couldn't stop perving on LDW in 'My Girl' and now I can't stop perving on LMH in 'Boys Over Flowers'. Their leading ladies are so lucky they get to kiss them.
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
I'm a bit worried about how Anna Bligh's running our state right now. Other than that, I don't like to get into politics.
37. Who did you miss?
A few of my friends who are currently overseas and some friends I hadn't caught up with in a while.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
I met a lotta awesome new people in 2009. I really can't pick one.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2009.
Hope for the best but prepare for the worst so you won't get any nasty surprises.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter...
