First Day

4/10/10


Hey guys! Wow I know. It's been ages since I posted an actual up-to-date post. 


So. Here's the thing. We have now officially entered into Term 4! The last term of the year! Daylight savings is activated :O Which means that I'm an additional hour apart from Malaysia, which is kind of messy in terms of meeting friends online because of the time difference. -.- Ok.. My two weeks of holidays were spent back HOME and it was absolutely WONDERFUL. I really, really enjoyed myself back home. I think that I've always loved Malaysia, but after coming to this different country, I've learnt to love Malaysia MORE for everything that it is. So holidays. I got my driver's license!!!!! I got my P's! :D I'm really happy about that. I spent a lot of time on it and my right arm is slightly darker than my left arm (because we drive on the right hand side), but I GOT IT!!!! YAY!!! The examiner was super bored and really just wanted to get it over and done with. I don't blame him, I was his last student and it's been going on the whole day. The part where I was supposed to check the mirrors and everything before driving, and the part where I had to pull my handbreak at the intersection, he was like 'jalan saja jalan saja'. It was pretty funny. Anyway. The best part is mum allowed me to drive BY MYSELF only after sitting with me for like 2 days. I think I just succeeded in boring her so much because of my slow speed, and also because she was busy, so she just couldn't be bothered. But really. YAY for my driving license! :D :D 


Ok. I met up with friends and stuff. And did a bit of Methods. Oh and another highlight is that our previously new puppy which is not so much new and not much of a puppy now, was run over by mum accidentally. Because she's still kinda new, she still doesn't know to avoid the moving vehicle with deadly wheels on it. THANKFULLY mum didn't squish her. The puppy is black and it's a reminder of Soda (a male dog which was like our guard dog. He was kind of fierce and always sat in front of the front door) who died of old age (and also, I always imagined his name being spelt with a Zet even though it doesn't make sense). Anyway, so we named the black, also sausage-like puppy Sarsi (I wanted Soda Pop, or Sardine or something, but I guess Sarsi is fine). Anyway. She was injured and stuff, couldn't walk properly and went on an IV drip. She didn't eat and drink and stuff. And one day she did drink but vomited it out. And it so totally reminded me of Lobsters.

Lobsters is (have I never told you about her?) Kev's dog. She.. well.. I can't really remember now. I think she was sick, either that or it was old age. She just didn't eat anything, didn't drink. And even then, she kept vomiting, and you could tell it was absolutely NOTHING. Seriously, I was so shocked and appalled at how fast she lost weight. She really had no belly and it was just scary. The vomit was always sour, and my guess was it was just gastric juices. It was pretty horrible. When she walked or tried to get up, you could see her legs not having enough strength. They just kept slipping on the floor again and again. It was really horrible. She died in the vet clinic my brother took her to. It was really a sad time. She's been with us for ages and she was so pretty. Rest in peace Lobsters! :( 


So yea. Sarsi. With all the not eating and vomiting (though seriously not as bad as Lobsters), but I think it was the not eating and the trouble-with-walking that really tugged on my heart. Seriously. I was so worried all the time, and there was one day I woke up and I just felt super down and upset. It was pretty bad. But all good I guess. She started eating and drinking and she PEE-ED! :D She still gags (not vomit, but just gags) as if she's going to vomit but she doesn't. So I guess that's good. I just really really really hope that there's nothing really wrong with her. 


So. I guess that's about all that really happened back home apart from the usual meeting up with friends. But I did get a little bit of Methods done. NEWSFLASH! My exam, as in the VCE exam, is in 31 days!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm actually pretty stressed because I feel like I'm still sort of rusty with the first few chapters which are really confusing. Gah. Anyway.. Slowly I guess. :/ Pray!! :D


19/10/10


Ok. Sorry guys. UGH I KNOW. I did try. But seriously. A few weeks have gone and things have changed too. My exam is now closer and I'm still pretty stressed. I went through a really stressed time when I was sure that a 50 wasn't possible for my paper. But now I'm starting to think it's alright again. Before, I think I went just a little bit crazy and I seriously thought I couldn't do it. Like I kept getting these REALLY REALLY simple questions wrong and stuff. It was horrible. I wasn't nervous, I wasn't focused, I wasn't anything. I just couldn't. do. it. But on Monday, we had a practice exam after school that ran until 8pm (3 hours for both papers, not including reading time!). And that was alright. I think that the paper was a little bit too easy but still, CONFIDENCE BOOST. So that's not too bad. I am now in the process of getting my notes all sorted out, and I still have practice papers I can work on. So GO ME!!! 


Ok there are other stuff happening too, but why don't I just post this one up first, seeing as it's been a draft for way too long. Stressed for tonight (muck-up) you'll soon know why. 


I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!!!! Wait. Rephrase. I NEED CHOCOLATE!!!!! 


Love life. :D

My Thoughts Today.

Ok this post will be about what happened today (like my usual boring posts about my day) rather than about updates and stuff like that. 

We shall start off with yesterday night. It was past midnight and I was chatting with Jessie. It was such an awesome conversation!!!!!!! BUT THEN, DARN YOU EBUDDY, I forgot to copy and past the conversation (Ebuddy doesn't save your conversations) into my private diary! I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT!!!!!!!!!!! Please, hit me in the head! It was really a great conversation and also had my story in it. Argh! Can't believe it! So I went to sleep with a frustrated heart BUT hopeful too, as Jessie had SABAH OPEN the next day (today)! ANYWAY. The point is, that I slept pretty late. 

This morning, I woke up (after snoozing my alarm a couple of times) and took a quick shower. I made toast and did some sandwiches for recess. This is all for Indo school yea.. Just in case you didn't know. Ok. So when I left the boarding house, HAH I saw the tram running away from me. Yay! I had twenty minutes though, so I just walked to the train station which is 4 stops away (pretty far actually). And because I was worried about missing my train, I walked REALLY fast. I had these boots on which weren't THAT comfortable. So yea I basically power walked in the freezing cold with numb fingers and breath getting in my face (walking into my breath which obscures my view for a while) for TEN minutes or so. I have decided ((8) to follow Jesus. The hymn!! You know??) though, that I shall walk to the train station from now on. I really need to get some exercise done. 

ANYWAY. I got to Indo school fine and it was a pretty good class. It was a bit weird. But not too bad. Towards the end of the class for like 15 minutes or so, we got to play sepak takraw. I actually really like that sport and support it! As in, I can't play it, but I really look up to people who can play it and I would definitely watch it on tv and stuff. It's really amazing how they can do all those stunts and stuff. Anyway. The ball came towards me and as a really -.- (lame, is that the word?) reflex, I reached out my hand to 'volleyball' it. It totally smacked right into Alwi's face. He was standing next to me. Pretty funny. But kind of sad. Ngeh. (Sad in the sense that my volleyball skills are totally GREAT). So, we had pretty good fun (at least I thought so. And also was trying to keep warm too), then we went back to class for like the last 20 minutes or so. 

Then after Indo school, I was supposed to go down to the city to meet this girl and her sister from the boarding house. This girl is Joanne, she's Korean and she's in Year 7. She came here for 4 weeks to try it out to see whether she liked it here or not. Being one who knew what a huge difference it was with someone helping out, I talked to her and walked with her and stuff. I knew what it was like (or is like) to be alone and lonely, and seriously, it really sucks. So I wanted to make a difference. My rational was that even if I didn't know her, doing all these would make her experience here much better and when she goes back to Korea and thinks back, she won't think of how alone and homesick she felt but how it wasn't too bad. Trust me. I've had experiences where I looked back and just shuddered at that memory. Not fun. :( Anyway. So yea Joanne's sister, Noella, studies in Melbourne University. Dentistry. Which is really mind-blowing (at least to me) because, Noella knows Pat. Pat, Kel's best friend. Noella and Pat- same course, same year, same uni. So yea COINCIDENCE? So naturally, Noella asked Pat to come along. And Pat lives in Glen Waverly, which is where my Indo school is. Anyway. Pat asked Kel to come. And I was supposed to train there to meet Joanne and Noella. But I contacted Pat and she said that Kel was coming to pick her up. Just would like to point out that Kel was coming to HER up. Not me. 


Anyway. I was pretty sullen in the car. And you know what went through my mind? Identity. I was thinking about how Kel will be introduced to Noella and Joanne. Would she be introduced as Pat's best friend, or would she be introduces as my sister. 


ANYWAY. A long time has passed since then. About a month or more than that. Blame the lazy me. I'm seriously slipping man. But I will really TRY ok! Every night I shall spend about half an hour or more on my blog. After study time which is 7-9pm. Good luck with that! It is now a new term, a new beginning, new heartaches etc. 


Let us decide that tomorrow will be a good day, shall we? :D
