What the....?!
Ok it's like June already... In the blink of an eye, it's freaking mid-year... ok... I'm officially freaked... somehow... ya... Wah lau eh...
It's been an emotional rollercoaster this semester... The huge issue is that I'm gonna stay here another semster... Looks like I'll be graduating a little later... Not so smart lah... what to do? Ok... lets do this update by months, otherwise this entry is gonna be quite long...
March
Nothing much really happened... Had the usual meeting with Uncle Martin and Auntie Christine, UQ & QUT. Attended a "
Tribute Concert to the Eagles"... Awesome show!! Although, there was no way... I MEAN NO WAY!!! I was gonna dance to any of their songs... I mean how to? You go listen to the Eagles and tell me how you gonna dance to them? I tell you it's damn difficult... But I saw that the 'Aunties' were not having ANY trouble dancing to the songs... quite farney! One lady was doing
AEROBICS on the dance floor... a few were doing the twist? I mean like HUH?! Ya I know!! Weird!! And another group was doing line dancing... which was pretty ok I guess, 'cept for all those miss steps... heheh
The next week was the "Welcome Dinner For Singaporean Students". Had it at Singapura In Milton... The only place in Brisbane where you can get REAL singaporean tasting dishes... With REAL (HOT) chilli, and sambal... ehehe I have a very weird role in the SSA (Singapore Student Association). The SSA for Griffith is in Gold Coast and there is no SSA for Griffith Nathan and Southbank, so I'm kinda part of them, but kinda not also... I'm also a committee member, but not cause I have no club... I know it's confusing... but all I know is I've been absorbed into the SSA from UQ... haha farney sia... But what to do, I'm from "
THE OTHER UNI"...
The next day was the '
Singclub Bowling League"... Started at 10.30am, I woke up at 11am... heheh It was the weather lah... really.. It was a particularly cold night so I was trapped under my warm duna... heheh It was pretty ok lah... Got to the bowling ally and was mostly a spectator. It was just good getting out of the flat... Was going crazy with the lack of 'outside stimulations'. I kinda know that I'll slowly go crazy if I don't have human contact.
April
It was pretty much quiet in April except for the few activities I went for... I missed the SSA Dance Party cause I was in a mood where I just wanted to be left alone and just wanted to stay in my room all day... Yes I know very different from the above paragraph... hheehe Then I got a call to be one of the "
Poster Boys" for Griffith College Accommadations... Wow!! My face on the Griffith Accommadation Booklet!! Had alot of fun doing it.
I felt that Good Friday this year was sad... I didn't get to spend it with G2... *sob* I missed Easter Vigil with G2 also... somehow in a way missing all these 'events' kinda makes me like an outcast... I starting to feel like someone trapped behind a glass wall and the other side is G2 having fun together and all I can do is watch, and as time passes, the wall gets thicker and thcker and I get further and further away from this group of people whom I've grown to call my 'other' family...
The weekend that followed, was me attending the "
TRIBUTE TO ABBA" concert, called, "Dancing Queen". Now dancing to Abba, I have no problem doing... It was a pretty fun concert and it was kinda weird also... I was the ONLY guy of the 'young' table, which consisted of all Singaporean Students... The girls at the table only got up to dance only when I did... It was weird, cause if you wanna dance, go and dance, don't wait for someone else to go first... Oh well...
The next day was the Easter Sunday and the Easter Party at Uncle Martin's place... Heheh Had Mee Siam... yay!! Nice... and chocolate easter eggs... It was a good time to have fun and chat with everyone and catch up... That evening, I flew to Sydney to visit my sister... YAY!!! It was the spur of the moment thing, where I made the decision and bought the tickets all in the span of 30 mins... fast right... ehehe I spent 4 days in Sydney where my sister and I had loads of fun and I got a glimsp of the Uni planned to go to but due to th cost of it, I had to settle for something else... Usyd is an awesome place... sigh...
I came back to Brisbane and then had a phone celebration with my hunny bee... Our 1st anniversary... wow 1 year together already... heheh Then a few days later I turned 24!! Happy Birthday to me!! 27th April 2006, 5.47am... But I spent the day in my room studying... The next day I had a Mid-sem exam... hahaah sian...
May
It has been a really quiet month... Went Rock climbing with SSA QUT... It rocked!! ehhee *pun intended* Now that day I went rock climbing, I had to meet Bernard for mass at 8am. The problem was that the bus stop at Griffith, only started at 8.30am... SO... I had to walk to the next bus stop which was supposed to be 2 km away... I thought ok lah... 2 km... I've walked longer.... Army 'Ex Longwalk' wah piang... 69km... Anyways, on my walk to the bus stop I got lost and suddenly found myself in the bush... I really got lost sia... I walked like for 3 km in the bush and ound myself back to where I started... so what did I do next? I walked on the road and dodged cars to teh busstop... yes yes... sad I know... Now I hooked o rock climbing.... heheh I gotta get my own shoes...
I watch X-men 3 with the QUT peeps also... In a way I was disappointed, but it was a different storyline to start with right? I mean I'm a geek when it comes to stuff like these cause I grew up liking Startrek
(yes William Shatner is cool!!), Starwars, Macgyver, Get Smart, Indiana Jones, Startrek: The Next Generation, Voyager
(7 of 9... YUM!!) Original X-men, etc... I know I know... typical geek... ok fine... whatever... I'm a true fan and the movie just killed off the main characters like they were just minimal sub-characters... sigh... disappointed...
