the bestie and me

mark's going back to new york on thursday.
wehung out yesterday and had lots of food and fun. we walked all the way from arrow, to brunswick, to the yarra,to the crown. the weather was good (a rather rare thing to have in melbourne at this time of year esp) but the best part of walking was that mark was playin gon his ukelele! :D

it was good fun. we went to the crown for the lunch buffet and burned everything off walking around in the city, checking federation square out and went coffee-hunting. (sorry it's past 2am my brain's not structuring sentences right)

we ended up at this spanish-owned coffee place where mark got me a giant cup of chai latte. goodness.. it was such a gianormous glass that i felt like puking after! mark was laughing at me cause he said i looked like i was having a hang-over. but whatever. i made him embarrassed by telling one of the spanish women who worked there that he wanted to sing her a song. haha.. he ended up singing "i'm yours" on the ukelele to a group of 5 of us. aahahha.. poor mark. he's very self-conscious when it comes to singing, even though he doesn't mind walking on the streets bent over like an old man, or skipping along swanston as though he was in a musical production.

don't know if we'll ever see each other again, but if we don't, i'm glad we could hang out even for this short period.

aww!



gwen sent me that PXT in the middle of the day. so sweet eh.
don't ask me why gwen started calling me bobbie. my names are very mood-dependent -- so she calls me different names depending on her mood. hah.

sigh. FOOOOOD. i'm not even half way through preparing my cheat sheet! i saw nick's cheat sheet and i thought to myself "that's not gonna help me very much".. i feel like i know all the concepts and stuff.. we went through stuff together this afternoon and there wasn't really much to clarify. im not quite sure what a useful cheat sheet will contain. ok since it's so late already, im just gonna cram as many words as i can on my piece of paper.


woohoo one more day COMEON!!

dehydrated

ahaha! i came across this slide on my food lecture notes showing the different colours of urine.
ehehehe. according to the colour coding, i think i was a bit dehydrated today.
hohoho this is so amusing (that im blogging about it).

think my body clock's messed up. i've been sleeping past 2 quite frequently. admittedly i used to sleep such poor hours for the bulk of last year, but i've been having verygood sleeping habits this year. i really hope my brain will be awake and alert on monday morning to get me through my food paper.

grace and audrey came over to abi's. ok abi's place was pretty happening today cause kenneth came over to study, then dong came over to cook, then grace and audrey came to talk.

conversations i've had today and yesterday were really good. thought provoking. edifying. and they lasted from 11+ to 2am. that's why la! sleep so late!

wish those grey clouds were shy

i just browsed through a couple of blogs of people back home.
and now im feeling as though i missed out on a lot of things. i can't put a finger to what they are, but it feels like i lost something. and i can't figure out if it's sthg important or not. ok.. i don't think it's important luh.
makes me wanna stop time.
just that i don't wanna stop time because if i do, i'd be stuck in this chair, still revising for my food exam. and it'll rain.

haha. looks like im having one of those teenage moments.
i AM still a teen aye. yeah i dont wanna grow up too quickly.

im staying at abi's for a bit cause she doesn't wanna be alone.wynn's gone back to sg.
i know what it's like. i was feeling really lonely once at the start of the year too because it was just me an my own empty-ish apartment. (it's a mess now)

can't wait for dinner time to come! someone's coming over to cook chilli tuna pasta :D <3 have never tried, but he likes it a fair bit so i suppose it's worth a try eh?

sidenote - the view from abi's place is quite nice. makes me wanna think of the future (or maybe it's just one of my thinky days today) and what it'll be like back in singapore. it'll definitely not be the same, cause i wont be a student anymore. i was just telling abs yesterday that im only 2.5 years away from the corporate world. how scary is that?

choc chai latte

if you havent tried the choc chai latte from castro's kiosk, GO.

im still in the middle of my exam period. i have my second last paper tmr and the last on monday.

the last post just got published even though it was suppoese to have been published last month. something went wrong.

anyway, i've got no work during the hols, but i'll be catching up with quite a few people i think. and im really looing forward to winter camp cause it's gonna be about being ready to share our faith when people ask us. im also looking forward to learning from ps Tim. really exciting. wont be doing any snow sports this year because i got a pair of shoes which cost a bomb (in my opinion. did i mention this in my last post? hmm) yes and i dont wanna be spending so much.

the highlight of the exam period for me is probably coffee ministry.

the conversations i've had this year with people i meet at the library have been very good. good conversations involve two peole being engaged in conversation. you can talk, but if you're not engaging the other person - or being engaged, then it's just talking.

back to doing debits and credits! im gonnna be a lean mean accounting machine tmr! ok maybe not lean. and.. ok im probably not gonna be that. im gonna be trying to survive the 3hour paper
