that time of the year again

You're lost little girl 
You're lost little girl 
You're lost 
Tell me who 
Are you? 

I think that you know what to do 
Impossible? Yes, but it's true 
I think that you know what to do, yeah 
I'm sure that you know what to do 

all the world is meh

I just wasted about an hour looking at pretty girls on Facebook. Why do I do this? It only makes me feel inadequate. I'm pretty happy with myself on most days, then I regress into a hole for a little bit..

Anyway, it is going to be 37 degrees tomorrow. Today I am hungover but there's a mansion party in Hawthorn that sounds rather exciting. I'd love to go, but I want don't want to be too incapacitated to drive to the beach tomorrow. And when you're trying to save petrol by switching the A/C off, the drive turns into just a perfect slice of hell.

I love the beach. Walk, swim, surf, read a book, have a nap, eat, smoke, piss in the ocean, you can practically live there. There aren't very many places you can do that. Not even in a forest, you might get bitten by a poisonous spider. Or on the street, or in a mall, or on a train. When it's too cold to swim, just sitting on the sand feels like the 1.5 hour car ride has been completely justified.

"Could you ask your friend to do his exercises somewhere else? I shall be having lunch directly, and don't want it bounced on just before I begin. A trifling matter, and fussy of me, but we all have our little ways."

Dad on swearing

Me: so what if I wasn't in NCC? I gave it a try for 2 weeks and then I thought, fuck this shit.

Pa: how can you say something like that? You know it's not possible to fuck shit.

What a lovely car conversation that was. I also threw a banana at my mum today. No wonder my parents look younger than they actually are. I'm pretty sure its because their kids are funny. Word.

back to yo roots

Been back home for almost a week now. We've been squeezing 10 people in our tiny little house and will continue to do so till the 3rd... It's been pretty intense and my lack of sleep each night has been snowballing but i've enjoyed the most part - Christmas lunch with the family including Ashwin, who was so well behaved... He started tearing up when we sent him back which was absolutely heartbreaking.

It's likely this entry will be the last of 2011. So to sum up... Fucking Siong. 2nd Year in vet - passed. Just 1 more year of lectures and hardcore study. It's depressing yet relieving at the same time.

So since the exams ended, a house, car, and 2 weeks of clinical placement have been settled. In short it was pretty damn hectic after exams but we found some time for holidays just before I left for SG. David booked us a surf lesson down in Torquay, and I can now cross it off my Bucket List. And conclude that I really cannot surf. My paddling is terrible, and when I actually do catch a wave I freeze up and can't bring myself to try standing up.

Night before my flight, I drove up to Macedon and we had dinner at a restaurant in Woodend. It was such a beautiful night. David had planned to drive to Gisborne to see the Christmas lights. Some houses were just kerazy with the decorations. Now I wish I took pictures..

Came home to exchange presents. I bought him Batman : Arkham City on PC and he bought me a friggin' keyboard! With the stand and everything! Insanity! But I can't wait to try playing the piano bit for Great Gig in the Sky on it.

Lady calls about my gumtree ad...

Me: hello?

Lady: hi....h-hi-

M: hi?

L: hi, how are you?

M: I'm good thanks....... how are you? *thoroughly puzzled* :S

L: I am good.. is your bed frame still available?

M: yes it is.

L: and how much is it?

M: $80. (Fucking hate it when people just need to read the damn ad properly to answer their inane questions..)

L: oh... and you live in Carlton? I live in Glenroy....

M: ooookaaay.... well when disassembled it fits in the back of a longish car.. like a wagon or a van.

L: oh I don't have any friends with that.. oh I don't know what to do... I have to arrange transport which is expensive. Nevermind it's okay thank you bye.

Whyyyy oh why would you call me and tell me you have no means to pick up something that I've stated 'pick up only' for? Are you a retard, lady? Why bother calling if you have no intention to pick it up? What a waste of time.

Stupid things are funny to me

David: hey, how do you measure wool fibre diameter?

Me: hah? I dunno... Vernier calipers? Hahahahaha!

Yeah, I think I'm losing it.

join in on the MARESTARE!

Check out this pregnant mare getting close to foaling (if anyone is remotely interested, if anyone reads this in the first place heh).

For the most part it's watching a horse walk around a box, but watching a foaling is pretty sweet. Right now her bum is itching so she's rubbing it on the wall.

This ties is pretty well with our Animal Health, Management and Welfare paper on Friday. Hope I don't miss it while looking at pictures of dead shit for the Pathology prac exam tomorrow.

exam time blues sound just like this

"I gotta read it again cause my mind is just a piece of shit this morning."

Absolute hell

And this is only one topic. Out of... 7? Am I going to die? Well, possibly. Fucking circulatory disorders.

All blog posts from my phone need titles.

I don't post enough photos of my place. Well, this is the living room.

Empty

This wall looks so bare now. There used to be a bajillion posters, just covering the whole wall. Now it's so empty...

It took me so long to take all of them down, then remove the blu tac from the edges and the walls. Packing is gonna take longer than I thought.

One hour of sleep.

Last night I only managed one hour. The past week has seen me waking up, coughing till I start to gag for about 20 minutes, then struggle to get back to sleep with an itchy throat just begging for more coughing. It's been a painful week of it. Plus taking about two hours to fall asleep in the first place. Oh and chuck three exams into the picture.  I just hope to god that I pass them all.

Moving out to Werribee has come underway nicely.  Thankfully we have settled on a house despite some minor disagreements. Finding the perfect house isn't always easy when everyone has their own ideas. But we finally came together on one, with just a little bit of persuasion. It's a wonderful house, spacious and clean. Old but not dated, and well maintained.

I'm just really looking forward to more space. That house had a million storage cupboards. This apartment can no longer fit everything I own. Every cupboard is full, my wardrobe is bursting. It's scary how much stuff I've come to own in just three years. And who would've thought at all how quick time would fly.

Only two more years of vet to go?? What... I never thought I'd ever reach this point. Or rather at the start it felt like a million miles away. I'm glad not to have had to sit any supps... well not yet. Even some of the smartest cookies in the above years have sat supps. So I suppose to get this far without one is pretty damn good in my books. Let's keep the good times going for another 4 sets of exams shall we? :D

I never got to mention that Yigang made his fabulous appearance some time in October. I feel bad for not having more time. It was good he had other friends here to hang with while I was being a busy bee. So glad we got to spend one solid weekend together :)

So it's my last few weeks in the city. In this lovely apartment I've called home for 3 years. I've grown so attached to this place. It's gonna be so hard to let go. There's just.. nowhere else that can compare. Where else can you walk to eat a 5 dollar pizza, pub/bar hop within a 300m radius, eat awesome Asian food at 5am and arrive  home in a happy stupor in 5 minutes? Ahhh... I've done it a disservice this semester by not living it up like I used to. 

Oh well. Guess I'm preparing for what life will be like in the next year. But with CAR. So life won't be all bad.

I hope this works

Since my phone was dropped in a toilet, it's been dried and was sitting in a tub of rice. All seems OK so far... this is just a camera test.

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.

Adventures sorely needed.

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.

OMG OMG OMG

I'm 56kg again OMG!

Words cannot describe my happiness. I haven't been 56kg in over a year! What a wonderful feeling. Now I can look at myself in jeans in the mirror and not cringe because I don't have gigantic love handles anymore! I have yet to try my corset on, i'm going to wait a little longer till I do.

The best but most puzzling thing is I haven't gone down a cup size. Which is weird but maybe it'll take awhile. I love being indian!

Now i'll aim for 53kg, I wonder how long that will take.

mmm small android update

Last weekend was spent at a scouts camp on mt martha. Best weekend so far this year. Blacklights and fluoro paint and crazy games. What made it so great though was definitely the people that made the effort to drive down and burn a weekend of study together. ahhhh.....


And yet again it's back to the reality of school and deadlines. so many assignments this semester... coupled with harder subjects. meh.

But right now, I just want to figure out how to get photos onto this entry straight off this phone.
