I've been back in crazy-weather Singapore since Saturday night. Seriously, Singapore can start giving Melbourne a run for their money, with the sunny mornings, rainy mid-days etc.
Regardless, the Melbourne trip has been an awesome one, owing to the gorgeous people there. Breakfasts, brunches and dinners, and the long chats, thank you! All pictures can be viewed on Wonderful Woo's facebook album (:
Issues with my degree, you ask? Nope they haven't been solved. Yet. Thank you!
In Singapore.
The days are just going, going, gone.
One night, I dreamt that I was already back in Japan...can't remember the emotions though.
I kind of miss studying in Melbourne though.
It's so odd, not doing anything academic right now. The Aussie people are into their 3rd/7th week, depending on their course, and the Singapore ones are pia-ing their tests, essays and so on. And here I am......
I'm glad though.
Certain things.
.Oh well

Sunday, March 7, 2010
Just arrived in Melbourne this morning and boy did it feel like a strange city to me. You know that feeling of happy to be home or happy to be here after being away for so long? It didn't come to me then. I used to feel it the past few years but now, I guess it has kind of fizzled out since I'm not actually studying here for now. Maybe I'd get it back later next semester.
Gah.
Plenty has happened since the day I returned to Singapore, and half of it was spent on being sick and lazing at home on the grounds of being sick. Experienced several nosebleeds, of which the worst happened while I was washing my face. Wtf where does all the friggin' blood come from, seriously. And it just keeps clotting but it won't stop flowing. The clotting was quite gross, but quite interesting to observe the red jelly-like substance. Lol I'm experiencing the Sunako syndrome.
Most of CNY was spent in Kuching, Sarawak after the house has been renovated. Everyone stayed there over the duration except my family. Yeah well. Gone the days of catching grasshoppers, playing uno and chinese checkers. Okay we did play the chinese checkers for quite a few hours, and I won most of the rounds :D
The daily meals were a killer. Delicious of course, but too rich. I remembered not taking a dump over the whole 5 days. On the other hand, my family was laying those brown rocks like no one's business. Unfair ): And my complexion took a downturn from all the alcohol I guzzled )):
On the Monday upon return, I was supposed to meet XQ for lunch but I experienced this terrible giddiness when I woke up. Trippied in the toilet and thought it was just some morning nonsense. No, I just felt horrible when I was in motion so I kept throwing myself on the couch or the bed. It was about 10.30 when I asked my brother whether I should msg XQ to cancel or something and he said no, promise people to go already so go. So I got my ass up to get dressed and tottered down the staircase. Threw myself on the couch to put on my socks but I couldn't do it. My brother had already started up the car so I had no choice but to get out of the door. I was already crying by then because I couldn't think straight or walk straight. I threw (lol like rubbish bag) myself into the front passenger seat, feeling extremely limp. My brother hadn't noticed at all and wanted to confirm the destination. Yeah, the destination changed to the clinic in Potong Pasir instead. The whole time at the clinic, I didn't see a solitary person's face except some blurry forms. I couldn't stop shaking the whole time, as if to shake something out of the head or whatever, and I remember hearing the conversation between my brother and the doctor. So fast forward the doctor just gave me a jab and left me to rot lol nah, to rest. Then my brother sent me home while I slept at home. Oh and my brother had to call XQ for me to cancel. Funnily, he said he was yiching's sister. Lol way to go brother. Sorry XQ ): Oh, and it was also the day my brother was flying back to Shanghai.
The rest of the next two weeks, which were the previous two weeks, were mainly myself being sickish and going out a few times. One of the most memorable ones was marathon kboxing (karaoke-ing) at Cineleisure till 5am. The only good thing was that there were few cars by then so I could anyhow drive. Hoho.
Actually went back to ZHSS a couple of times, the first time to see teachers and the second to see the band. Yeah I'm the sort of senior who never goes away. The one that you can't get rid of. Yeah I'm annoying.
The plane ride kinda sucked. Plane delay from 9 to 10, turbulences, the hot air in the seat and the ugh-ish food. Left the airport at a quarter to nine and found out our current tenant, Eliza, wasn't at home; working this morning. So we had to leave our luggies somewhere somehow and I called Rui Xi who fortunately was at home. In the end, I left the luggies in the basement thinking that I had the storage key with me but nooo, it wasn't and I took a risk by leaving the luggies outside our storage space anyway. Cabbed down to the Alfred Hospital (which my mother claimed Eliza was working at and supposedly near the apartment) and it was pretty damn far. Waited at the lobby for her and it turned out it was the wrong hospital. It was supposed to be the Royal Melbourne Hospital which was opposite Melbourne Uni. Normally I would be pretty damn pissed off with the whole situation and blaming people for it, but I just found myself laughing about it. It was just so funny. LAUGH WITH ME. HA HA HA. So anyway, we took a cab down to RMH and took the keys from Eliza, who is really nice. Went home, took the luggies up and zonked. Wanted to set up the lappie but I couldn't connect the telephone port. Zonked until 3ish, managed to hook up the internet, and went down to Safeway for grocery shopping. Bought dinner from Rice Bar, didn't finish it and fell asleep watching television. Now here, blogging as I'm thinking.
Course Advice appointment tomorrow! Can't wait to deal with all the issues I've been concerned about the past 3 years. Hopefully, HOPEFULLY, I'd be able to overload, take Japanese 4, more level-3 Cultural Studies subjects and graduate by the end of this year.
Thanks for having me today.
Oh, and the horrible hailstorm which hit Melbourne yesterday, it hasn't repeated itself today...yet.
Gah.
