Post exam

Post exam outings....
Had dinner with some friends at a Greek restaurant ....

The food
Meat Platter
Grilled Snapper
Greek Salad
Seafood Platter (Kerry is happy after having her prawns)
Dips

The peopleI love this picture so so so much!(*points above*)And I am heading over to their place for more fun tmr XD
These people made me laugh until I cried (literally!) and stomach yelling in pain from laughing too much .... :)

The fact that I only got to know them better in my final semester SUCKS big time!
(note: I have only about one month left in Melbourne!)
Despite only being able to spend such a short amount of time with them, memories from these good times will last a lifetime.

I noticed I've been pretty picky with the kind of people I hang out with recently, I won't hesitate to turn down any invites that I am not comfortable with and gladly accept the ones with people that make me feel at ease.

People whom you are not afraid to show your true colours to plainly BECAUSE they are of a similar kind.

It's crazily weird how I end up giggling to myself each time I catch a glimpse of the above photos. I only do that when I look at photos of my cousins.
Get what I mean now?

Update 2: Sushi date

Countdown




exactly 4 more days till freedom and heaps of fun!

Did I mention how messed up my body is right now?

Constantly getting stomach upset from

stress? improper meals? unintentionally skipping meals? binge eating to calm myself down? not getting proper nutrition? consuming way TOO MUCH coffee (roomie will tell u how many cups I consume in a day)? Irregular sleeping hours (3-5am is my bedtime yo!)? Skipped gym for 2 weeks?

I think I scared roomie off since she decided to stay away from me this weekend! XD

hahahaha.... just joking!

She is out getting that well deserved break while I wallow in misery due to ongoing exams! Have fun missy! I shall hop on that bandwagon of yours after Tuesday! :)

Fun skype date

Oh how I enjoyed today's skype session.......

The constant bickering between the four....

Me vs. bro vs. Dad & Stepmom

hahahaha.... It has indeed been a while....

Bro with his infamous exam results that led to dad's fury....

Bro tried to defend himself by bringing me in with my version of exam results at his age while sneakily trying to seek assistance from the older sister.....

Dad went on to complain about the kid's horrible results for Chemistry and BM .... saying the kid uses the internet way too often. *cough**cough* Wouldn't that be your fault fault then daddy, for allowing him to do so in the first place? Some pitiful kid here had to negotiate to get a measly 1 hour internet time during her days ok?
Dad also mentioned how he might be able to get a a new car now since there is no point sending the kid overseas. LOL. (No way man daddy dear! I am gonna make sure u get me a car before u purchase that new car of yours!)

Kid still persistently tried to defend himself but to no avail.... since his older sister did much better than him during her time (which probably made it worse). Saying stuff like he did "OK" for BM karangan to which the dad ask "how much?" and the suicidal answer was 50 plus out of 100. Did I not mention how amusing my bro can be? I'll leave u to imagine what happened after he said that ok? hahahaha.

Me, the middle man(woman i mean) tried suggesting some possible corrective procedures to the kid but dad claims the kid is pure lazy and couldn't care less (to which I secretly agreed).

hahahaha.....

To which I concluded by telling the kid "I really can't help you with this. Just let daddy nag ok?" since I am trying to get my sneaky little hands into dad's little pot of luck. Sorry little kid, you're on your own this time.

***************************************

Will I ever be able to retrieve that "glow" I once had?

Someone close once said to me that I have this certain glow on my face each time I erupt with happiness but that was 5 years ago. Sadly, I lost it over the years and never found it back. High school days were some of the best days so it doesn't come to a surprise the fact that I lost it when we advanced to college and went our separate ways.

***************************************
I wanna go home NOW!
***************************************
I guess each and every one of us have our very own comfort zone....
Home has always been my ultimate comfort zone....
Most of the things are carried out the way I am accustomed to.....
I have my fair share of authority and family members respect that....
I won't hesitate to voice out my concern and displeasure ......

I don't need anymore excuse beyond this to convince you as to why there ain't a better place in this world other than HOME!

*sigh.....* Tahan ! I can do this!

2 down and 2 more to go till it all comes to an end



They are the ones that kept me going; moving forward with great support and love; provide the much needed strength and motivation.... though sometimes we may not end up taking the same path at crossroads, they will come running immediately once I stumble.

Soon... in less than a month time, I will be reunited with the immediate and the rest on the 25th of Dec at my place.

Praying hard that I will do well for my finals *fingers crossed*. 2 down and 2 more to go (this sorta explains the MIA for 2 weeks)

Currently done with the subject that was such a pain to study for but I eventually managed to familiarize myself with the subject content to the extent that I could even recite out two case study for the exam (rarely happens for a subject that I absolutely detest!) .

The last time I actually studied so hard for a final exam (without being distracted way too often) was in first year second semester. It was the exact same reason that gave me enough strength and kept the mental breakdowns at bay.

I guess just the thought of the family and the awesome time we're about to have is enough to give me that much needed push.
I think I've reached that stage where I am mentally and emotionally drained that I end up in tears more often than usual. And it's hard in a way because I can't seem to relate this to anyone but to just bury them deep within my heart until it overflows before I start filling it up once again. I can't blame the friends because it's not something they can work on or even try to fix - it's near impossible. It's difficult unless you've been there and done that....
Only the ones in the following picture are capable of easing the pain and also filling this empty heart with warmth and plenty of cuteness(only applies to the 2 adorable kids). But they are more than 5,000 kilometres away and hard to reach. The bro will amuse me with his level of intelligence (*inserts sarcasm*) and ignorance while the dad bores me with the never ending reminders and priorities.

Plus, certain things have taken a turn for the better with regards to my career prospects. Let's just say things seem to be turning out as expected. However, until I am fairly certain about the offer and also my choice, I can't say for sure what are my plans for the future. We shall wait and see alright? As for now, things are going smoothly.
