my lack of lifestyle options are becoming a concern.

So it's one week into the holidays. It's the time of the year when people just hang out at cafes, go for walks, go camping, go to the beach, go to the snow etc. But much unlike my other university counterparts, i've done absolutely nothing of the sort. Done nothing to optimize the beautiful weather, the free time, nothing.

Cos i'm using this time to finish shit like 5000-word reports.

As I sit here in my room, typing away, trying my level best not to procrastinate but do it anyway, I turn to look out my window, at everyone else's windows, everyone's rooms are empty. Because they're not SITTING AT HOME, DOING FUCKING WORK every damn day WHEN IT'S HOLIDAYS.

I HATE that all I do is whinge on my blog nowadays. I want to update my blog on happy things. They are few and far between nowadays. I just want to go to the damn Grampians. Meh. Just gotta hold on till after the exams, hopefully there'll be time to do fun summery things between moving all my furniture out, looking for a new house & moving in, and doing 2 weeks of placement at a clinic ALL BEFORE MY FLIGHT BACK TO SG ON THE 23RD.

Something's gotta give. I just want some time to hang out on a beautiful beach here.

the perks of being a vet student..

You always get to do awesome behind the scenes stuff..


Bong Su at the Melbourne Zoo





Fed giraffes at the Werribee Open Range Zoo

Drawing blood from sheep.. That was hard.



Milked cows for a solid 17 days.

Ahh.. And so much more. Pulled lambs out of sheep, injected horses, stuff that gets the blood pumping but sadly the time spent on all those things are minute in comparison to time spent in the lecture theatre. Oh well. 4 assignments to finish with 2 tests to study for, followed by exams after 4 weeks... Gotta make the most of my 2 week holiday! At least I had productive cleaning time today. If I didn't clean first thing it'd bug me forever as I procrastinate, so i'm glad I did it even if it cost me a day out of my 2 weeks.

MAJOR CRAM TIME!

the G


Carlton VS Essendon, all from my phone. It's amazing what smartphones can do now... I can honestly say i've been living under a rock all this time. Taken, edited with PSP, uploaded onto Photobucket, just with a few swipes.

All thanks to this beauty, free when I signed a new 2 year contract with Vodafone;

Samsung Nexus S!!! 16GB internal memory and rivalling the iPhone in every way possible. Only downsides are the rather soft speakers and terrible battery life. I have to charge it once a day. And if David decides he wants to play Fruit Ninja for 4 hours instead of listen to lectures... I'm left with a dead phone. But anyway... amazing phone without the price tag and Apple-related limitations of the iPhone.
