The days of distractions.


The days here have been so dull, hectic, boring, exciting.
So contradicting.
I don't even know how to describe it myself.

My exams are next week,
i'm definitely not prepared.

What in the world am i doing?

But then i woke up one morning,
with a knock on my door.

" Abeee! The scholarship results are out! "

And i freaked out.

" So what if i didn't get it.
No, i need to get the scholarship. It should be okay.
No, there's still a possibility that i won't get it. John got a full scholarship.
But my results are not bad, so there is also a possibility that i will get it.
Oh, heck this shit! "

And i clicked the button.

And HELL YES, I GOT IT!

Oh my God, i have never dreamt that this day would come.
A full scholarship worth of AUD 24,500.

A dream come true.

Really a dream come true.


I actually went for my first netball practice after about what, two years or so?
*Don't be jealous SookTeng!*
And it never felt better.
I never realised that i have actually missed netball so much that when i played yesterday,
i enjoyed it a hundred per cent although i had to bear with my body aches today.
I had so much fun,
until,

" Abee, we gotta go now. Cause i just got a call from FungKeng. They are bringing Buford to the hospital now. He's got a short-term memory loss. "

" WHAT?!?!? "

Apparently, he was playing soccer with some really huge guys with Terence on the field right outside our house.
And when he was having the ball, someone tackled him from behind.
And he fell backwards, head first.
And he was slightly unconscious for about a minute.
And the first thing he asked when he woke up was, " Where am i? What am i doing here? "
And he went on asking, " What did i do the whole day today? How come i'm here? "
And it's an experience you would never want to experience.

The funny part in this whole experience part was,

" Terence, tell me. Do i have a girlfriend? Do i do i? "
" Buford, what's your girlfriend's number? "

And he actually managed to spell out his girlfriend's number right away.
Hahaha.
Amazing, what Love can do.


The terrible part was that he had to wait 5 hours before the doctor finally consulted him.
And guess what?
After 5 hours of time-wasting, the doctor said,

" There should be nothing serious. But if you insist, I suggest you to consult a specialist to perform a scan if you are worried. Or if you can wait, you can kindly wait outside until we looked at other patients in which may take quite a while. "

What. the. hell.
If someone would have been dying, he would have been dead by now.
What. the. crap.

Talk about being slow back in Malaysia.
Trust me, it's worse here.

There was another case.
A friend's friend actually broke his leg while playing sports.
Where you can really see that the two bones weren't connecting with each other anymore.
Imagine the pain okay?
So they called an ambulance, and the nurse asked him,
" Is it very painful? Can you still hold it? "
It is a normal thing to answer yes right?
I mean, you won't go answering, " No, i'm going to DIE. COME NOW. "
So, he answered, " Yes. "

And guess what again?
The ambulance arrived 2 hours later.

The moral of the story is pretend to die even if you are not.
It is the fastest way to get you attended to.


And ShiVon just called.
I'm supposed to be out there for my first futsal training.
But damn it, my muscles are aching too much.

I better go get some rest.

To the one(s) playing Semi-Pro doubles today,

All De Best!

*hugs*

She.

She was once loved so deeply by her love.
She was once cared for so much by her friends.
She was once so beautifully fortunate.

But she took no notice, showed no realisation.
She foolishly took things for granted.
She thoughtlessly expressed no appreciation.

And now, she is full of regrets.
She feels awfully lonely, when she's left alone with her thoughts.
She has lost almost everything, everyone who were once so important in her life.
Who still are.
When will this ever end?
When will she ever get to feel the way she felt once again?


She wonders.


I wonder.

A place to stay.


So, i've been here for a month plus?

Settled down?
Yes.

Comfortable?
Probably.

But there is always no place like home.
No where more comfortable than your own room, your own bed, your own smell, your own place to stay.
And you know it.

Emotional?
Yes i am. Because i miss home. So damn much.


So here you go.
My temporary room.
But i guess i got to make the best out of it.
Shouldn't I?

First, please don't ask me to clean my room Marianne Chung.
I took these pictures when i just moved in. So yeah, it's a bit messy then.
Second, I am part of my room.
So i deserve to be in the pictures, ya?


Emotional?
I still am. Because i feel emotional. So damn emotional.


But i guess i got to do what i got to do.

Right?

Music of the Sun.


My day started beautifully today.
With the help of my Gy, of course.

* Decode by Paramore playing loudly in my handbag *

" Who's calling me so early in the morning? "

And when i saw Gy calling,
it made me smile.

It's prolly my first smile of the day.

:)

Some of us decided to go down to Gold Coast today for a little shopping.
And experience, for me.
Took a bus to the train station, an one hour train to Helensvale Station, and another bus to Harbour Town.
And it seemed like we reached there in a blink of an eye.
You know why?
I was actually asleep throughout the whole journey.
Both John and I.

:)

And i learnt that in Australia, an iPod is the most essential thing to carry with you.
IT HAS TO BE WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.
If not, you'll regret it. Like really really really regret it.

:)

So there were no pictures on the way, because, yes, you should know why.
But here you go. At the destination. :)

Mr Pan and Blackie








" Eh abee, can take faster ar? Super heavy okay this thing! "






We had Sushi for lunch.
And as i don't really fancy sushi, the thing i liked best during lunch were the mirrors on the wall.
Vain?
No no, not at all.
:)

'

" Pose pose! Take picture! "
" Okay okay, i wanna flash flash my Polo Ralph Lauren bag! "
* Psssttt... They bought Polo Tee for AUD 69 only. *



Damage done.

After shopping, we decided to walk to SouthBank for ice cream.
Yes, that's dinner.
Because the ice cream is so filling and nice that i can have that for dinner anytime.

So we walked all the way passed the casino, the ferris wheel, the public pool, and the artificial public beach.
Just to reach the ever so addictive Cold Rock ice cream store.

And finally,
my Cookies and Cream mixed with Cookie Dough.

It was worth all the walk.
:)


And something, or i should say someone, made my day better.
You can guess it can't you?




Edward framed up.

Insanely in love with.

Edward.

Cullen.

Oh my crap.
I've been watching Twilight so much.
Reading the books yet again.
My notebook's wallpaper is now Edward instead of Lampard.
My phone's theme is Edward.
My iTunes has a Twilight Soundtrack playlist.

Am i going crazy?

I'm not, right?

Omg. Edward.

Siiggghhhssss.


Basketball was this morning at 9am.
So, yesterday night,

" John, knock on my door at 8.15am okay? Wake me up. Thanks! "

And this morning,
*Knocks knocks knocks!*

" I don't feeel like going anymoreeee. You go. "

I felt so damn tired and lazy this morning.
So, goodbye basketball, hello bed.

And i was supposed to wake Simon up.
Simon who?
Chow Simon, who just lost 50 bucks at The Crown last night. :)

" O M G.. Smelly! You did not wake me up! O m g !!! "

Sorry sorry, i did not have the strength to even lift up my phone to type a message.
Sorry sorry. =D

" For that, you owe me one dinner okay? "
" Okay. How does indo mee goreng candle light dinner sound? "
" Cheapskateeee! At least candle light dinner with lamb chop lar! "
" Take it or leaavvee itttt. "
" Since like that, okay lar. No choice. "

Look who's the cheapskate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:)

So i went to meet up with Grace this afternoon for lunch.
We had lunch at Malayan Corner.
And omg, the aroma, the ambience, the food, so MALAYSIANISED!
Felt like i was back home!
So i had what i loved to have when i was back home.

Nasi Goreng Ikan Masin
:)

And Grace had Bak Kut Teh!
:)



And we had Tau Foo Fah for dessert!

Taste super super good okay?
Of course they taste better back home.
But it's the closest we can get.
So i'm not actually complaining.

Had so much for lunch, felt so damn bloated.
But before i knew it, it was time for dinner.
And my Uncle TeikFook and his family brought me out for dinner.
We had dinner at Hog's Breath Cafe.
Famous for steaks.
So i had a Garlic Mushroom Prime Rib.
And it tasted SUPERB.
:)

Seemed like a good food day for me ya?

:)

And then my uncle brought me to Mt. Coot-tha.
It's a look out point.
Similar to MiniGenting back home.
But this one has a superbbbbbb view.

I. love. my. camera.

:)

I'm waiting, i'm waiting.


Desperately?

No, not desperately.

No.


Woke up for class this morning.

Crap.

I felt like i didn't sleep at all.
I must have been dreaming all night then.
It is always because of my dreams that i get so tired in the morning.
And i do sort of remember actually.
I think i got chased by an infested dog in my dream.

*shakes head*
Too much of Left4Dead.
I think i better stop.
Or maybe, it was because of Resident Evil, in which i just watched last week.

*shakes head again*
I think i better stop watching movies too.
I actually finished the whole 'The Four' chinese drama in two days.
And i'm actually planning to start watching 'The Gem of Life'.
Is it worth watching at all?
Anyone?

And I called home just now!
Omg.
I miss the family!
I miss mom, dad, aunt, JORDAN & JAREN!!!
My naughty monkeys.
What am i going to do without them!

" Jordan Leeeeee!! "
" Abeeeeeeeeeee!! " (Yes, they call me Abee. Actually, everyone calls me Abee.)
" Miss meeeeeee?? "
" Yeeeaaaaaaaaa!! "
" A lot a lottt? "
" Yeaaaaaaaaaa! "

And then, paused a while,

" Abeeeee, my ku-ku painful. "
" Wat?! Why?! Your friends beat you up in school? "
" YALAH! They beat me!!! "
" What?! "

Then mom came on,

" Maaaaa, what happened to his ku-ku? Friends beat him? "
" You listeeen to him lar! He's bullshitting. His ku-ku infected lar. And his friends doesn't beat him, HE BITES THEM. "
" Omg. "

Such a big little liar.
Seriously.

Oh, but i miss him. :(
Sho. Damn. Cute.

:)

I. am. so. damn. bored.
And i accidentally came across Tristyn(Shakira's sister)'s blog.

And i'm done for the night.
It's time for bed.
Heck the download tonight.
I need my beauty sleep.

Nites you.

Have I finally?


Are you, you and you going to give me the strength I need?

Yes?
No?

My eyes are crazily tired as I haven't gotten enough of sleep last night.
Lack of sleep on the previous night = Zombie on the following day.

Marianne was being so very helpful,

" Abee, please please go to sleep wei! "
" I will, i will later. "
" It's 5am there wei, what the heck u doing. "
" Doing tutorials le. "
" Don't need do tutorials one. Like me. Haha. "
" Here different lar, must at least try doing first. Sides, can't sleep yet. "
" Please go to sleep lar. From the pictures i saw, you looked horrible. "

Do I really?
Sighs.


A bright, sunny day for Uni.
It's great how our classes start at 2pm most of the days.

*No look like zombie ya?*

And with classes at 2pm, that truly means that i can stay up til 3am everynight.
To wait for the off peak download time to start downloading my movies.

Yes, our quota is divided into peak and off-peak, and
No, sadly, we don't have unlimited download quota.
*Unlike back home. =(*
And we're only allowed 40gb for peak hours and 110gb for off peak hours.

" What the fuck, 150gb not enough?! "

Divide that by 10 people, mate. Divide that.

It's cruel how we must control our usage here.
Nonetheless, the download speed is a lot faster though.
I managed to finish downloading my Twilight movie in less than 2 hours.
So it's fair, isn't it?

We can't have everything we want.


Was left4dead-ing the other night.

XMan(FungKeng): Fucker! Damn chat a lot wei! *Life left back +1 only*
Johnny(John): Health pack here. XMan, come heal!
XMan(FungKeng): Okay, cover me.
Shiny(Chris): Okayokay.

Half a second later,

Chester incapacitated XMan.

XMan(FungKeng): Wtf! Why you kill me!
Chester(Sabrina): Ooooopppssss!!! SORRY! Terclick my mouseeee!!! Hahahahaah!

And then suddenly,
*UHOH!* (The ICQ message tone shouts with a little bit of vibration)

" Oi! "
" Why you oi me? :( "
" Miss you marrrr... :) "

Oh, Aaven Chen. You made my night! :)


Anyway, you know, i think i know too many Graces.
This morning,

" Hey, Grace here. This is my other number. Are you free today................... "

When i read the first part of the message, i thought to myself, " Oh, Gy has another numberrr.... "
*Eyes still closed, was just peeking at the message*

And when I read on,

".................. Maybe we can have lunch together or walk around the city later? Let me know! "

My eyes opened widely, " Nooo. Gy can't be here. Then which Grace is this?! "

" Noooo, it can't be the one back home, she doesn't have my number. Nooo, it can't be the one i was introduced to here by a friend, she doesn't have my number either. And it's not Gy either... whoo... which.... ?!? "

And then it hit me!

" OOOHHHHHHHHHHH! Wern Loong's GRACE! "

:) *If you're reading this Grace, please please don't kill me. I'm sorrrry! I was still blur in the morning!*


And, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
I am a happy girl today.
Am I, am I?

Yes, i am!!!!!!!!

:)

* Case closed*

Of strength, strength and strength.


Weekends are supposed to be relaxing.
But why is it not?

But i have not touched my books.
Why was i so hooked up then?

Let's see.

Friday.
Early morning, woke up for basketball session.
Sooooo different from netball!
You know how we can't move our legs when we have the ball.
So when Ron passed me the ball, my legs automatically stopped on the spot.
And after what seems like 2 seconds, i started thinking,

" Oh shit! What the heck am i doing!?! "

But it was funny, cause my whole team was very encouraging.
They know it's my first time playing basketball.
So they were very nice to me.

" Sabrina! Catch and try to shoot some hoops! "

And after a while, i kinda got a little, just a little, used to it.
And i did score 2 for the team!

" Our secret weapon!!! "

:)

After 2 hours of basketball, John and I tried out the gym.
Cause we had some free entry pass to the gym, why waste?
So we tried out the Cardio Studio.
I managed a 3o minutes cycling without stopping.
And without waking up the next morning feeling the aches.

Not bad huh? :)

And Saturday was hectic as well.
We went to the city for shopping! :)
And yes yes, i bought a new bag and flats!
Bargain bargain!!!

Then came back for big helpings of Spaghetti Bolognese and Greek Salad for dinner. :)

And it was time for the match.
Omg, if i didn't love Chelsea that much, i would have been stuck permanently supporting Liverpool.

" You'll never walk alone. "

Weeeeeee!!!

Love it. Just love it!




And so, i am still sitting here today.
Still have not touched my books.
Have not done my tutorials for tomorrow.
Have not done a thing.

What am i to do?

And i still am sitting here today.
Have not confirmed my decisions.
Have not given it my hundred and one percent of concentration to believe and decide.
Have not done yet again, a thing.

Am i strong enough?
