the jig is up

FINALLY! I can now blog like a normal person. After weeks of lying to everyone, then surprising them, I can now tell everyone else I'M BACK!

Actually i've been back since the 12th, but a few days after that my mom and sister dragged me to the Philippines for holiday. Manila for 2 days, then Boracay for 4. Thoroughly enjoyed it, despite some minor setbacks. Boracay definitely has the best beach i've ever seen... Clear blue waters, powdery sand, CLEAN. I finally went snorkelling for the first time in my life. Bought an underwater camera and camwhored with Aresha for however long we could stay submerged. 

The water was so salty we kept floating up to the surface. But still so fucking gorgeous! 

I'm now browner than usual. The locals we befriended at a nearby reggae bar were almost too nice to us. We were there every night and made new friends every time. And on Boracay, the browner the better :D wish I could've stayed longer. 

Had a lot of hilarious moments... With Ya Boy Dineezy references, coral scrabble, Morales Senor the drunkard, and much much more..

Well now i'm back proper, and haven't really been up to much. I actually miss Australia! Or maybe just the cold. When I walked out of the airport I felt like I stepped into an oven. 

Met the boys a couple of times already. What was supposed to be ghosthunting turned into sitting at Blooie's, prank calling and making fun of the minority a the table (Najib and Paul). The prank calls were unbelievable... "Yeah just take down this number (Like U Hotline), and by the way this is Bob Dylan you're talking to.." HAHAHAHA

I tried prank calling Bryan pretending to be a lovesick girl who's had too many but I blanked out halfway and he heard the rest whispering in the background. Tonight I think we're watching a movie? I don't know, but I really need to catch up on my movies. Gonna download some asian horror movies and take it back with me and have a horror movie marathon with the rest.

I have several things I need to bring back to melb with me. The list now very recently includes a 40cm high wooden statue of a guy with a drum on his head for my apartment. Also - My ps2, logitech speakers, stationery (LOTS!), puma trainers, several pairs of heels, and AAAAH I WILL CONTINUE THIS LATER

coming to the end of another chapter

The exams are over, pretty much half the year flew by and I hardly realized it, even after all the lazing around with time crawling by. Before you know it, i'll be done with pre-vet and going into full-fledged vet science, learning about anatomy and husbandry (amongst other things).

Just for tonight, I have my heater on full-blast, enjoying the heat for once. I miss my friends, I don't know what to do anymore. In semester 2 I have a camping trip in the works though :D

Thankfully I have Bidina and Geetha.. We had a stupid about of fun today, saying the pledge and singing the national anthem, drank Kilkenny Cream and rosé wine, taking the tram to the wrong side of St. Kilda, only catching The Final Eclipse's last TWO SONGS. We win at life.

But it was so nice to see Jai, Ephraim, Sanjay, Dom and Gerard again! They never fail to amuse... and they're so much fun to talk to. Never realised how much I missed Jai and Ephraim! They really brighten up my life here.

Well, things have settled, nothing to worry about anymore (except money, as always).

And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess

reminisce

Everytime I hear this song, I get goosebumps. I always used to play this in the car awhile driving, along with the rest of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. I wish I was back home. Getting into the car, going to meet the boys, going for our next adventure.

I want adventures here too.

Tomorrow is the start of the exams. Thursday marks the end. Wat? Yes. I have a 3 day exam period, as opposed to having exams stretched for weeeeeks. Am not really complaining, it'll be as painful as taking off a plaster. Shut your eyes, flinch, and its over.

If things go badly, i'll drown my sorrows in booze at the Espy. If things go well, i'll celebrate with booze at the Espy. Because it's The Final Eclipse's first residency gig! Perfect timing. The hangover that will follow however, will have the worst timing ever.

Never mind, nothing like more free booze the next day to cure a hangover.

Today, I learned that....

Tiramisu did NOT originate from Thailand. It came from Italy.

And the blind-deaf Helen Keller did not invent Penicillin.

Yeah.

selit selit

I miss the boys so much. This is one very good reason why.



Which was fine. And then...



Everytime I see it I die laughing too much.
