Sports? Moi?? I don't do sports!!

 Yesterday we had sports day with all the three OCF centers from Flinders, Adelaide Uni and UniSA. It was really fun. I didn’t really want to go because it was just going to be me. Debbie left for Melbourne on Thursday night (I returned on that morning) and Huey Yeng’s on a camp with her Buddhist club.
Why didn’t I join the Buddhist club? Well… I think I need a break sometimes… from someone…
Anyway… Del was going so he was taking me. I was going to do registration to help out. Debbie and I really like Del, we agree that he’s almost ideal.
I told him that too, although it may not be a smart move. He’s already in love with Gillian who is ever so lucky and he certainly doesn’t need any ideas of two silly girls who think he’s ‘ideal’ but he has a good nature and he’ll most likely take it lightly.
He’s really great, he’s neat (He says he likes coming home to a clean neat house), he’s hardworking, he’s cool (look at his car and the level he turns up his music to!), he’s good-looking, he’s quite buff, he’s got a great sense of humour, he’s mature yet there’s a playful boyish side to him. He’s not cracking jokes all the time or your average clown but there’s something about him. He’s got this aura of tranquility surrounding him plus he’s easy to talk to.
I didn’t that he was that good-looking but Soo Hui and Debbie said that he was quite cute when they first saw him. But people grows on me.

The registration thing was a bit stressful but me and Yu Ting managed to sort it out and boy, it was such a satisfying thing to have completed all the names and arranged everything so that everyone can play. There was soccer, basketball and captain ball. I didn’t plan to play anything but I ended up playing captain ball because it looked like so much fun and it WAS!!!
Then we had a game of soccer whereby 20 girls had to versus 10 pairs of boys (they have to link arms to play) It was so funny and strange. The boys still won, 2-1.
At least we scored a point, near the end of the game. I would prefer not to point out that we had two goalkeepers and two boy defenders but I just did.

Soo Hui didn’t go. She said that it was too early for her.
I got a good work out that day but for lunch we had pizza. I had a few slices and a coke zero which is soooo not healthy.
I made a few new friends but it wasn’t really easy sticking into a group because everyone else had a group. Sometimes I was left on my own but that’s better than to have this really strange guy who keeps looking for me to tell him more lame jokes. He is soooo lame.
“What can you find at the back door of a cafeteria?”
Back-teria!
“Why does a patient get upset and nauseous when they are told to stay over in the hospital?”
Because they’re ‘in-patient’ (impatient)
 It’s so lame that I left like tearing my hair out.
-________________________________________________-“
 My body is a little achy now.
This is how little exercise I get.
Huey Yeng will be back tomorrow. Aih… then Debbie’s coming back on Thursday…that means a few days of ‘bonding’
I will have to hide out in my room and hopefully, she doesn’t come and stalk me… literally…

Maybe Soo Hui will come by today. It’s Easter!!!
We got ourselves an egg ^^
 Oh, Soo Hui’s housemate, Sobana, who is the best friend of Maarishni who moved into my room in Klang. Yes, confusing, I know.
She hit by a drunk driver and broke her shin bone last Saturday night!! It was so scary because I saw her a few hours before she got hit. She was all dolled up and ready to go clubbing. It’s so sad!!!
She’s alright now I suppose but it’s the holidays!!!
I suppose that’s better than having classes, I wouldn’t like to walk around much with a broken shin. I rather lie in bed and being fed grapes by good-looking guys.

MELBOURNE : SHOPPING PARADISE

 We went to Melbourneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
I don’t even know where to start!!
Our 2-week study break started last Friday after our stressful physiology essay test. Soo Hui and I went shopping and to Adelaide’s SkyCity Casino till late and I slept over at her place.
We had an international dinner in the West Campus on Saturday evening. It was alright. I’ll spare you any details that aren’t worth mentioning.
Not many cute guys there but there’s actually someone else from Brunei and he’s quite cute. Tall, pale and was more of a skater boy type with a beanie and baggy pants.
 On Sunday, Soo Hui and I took off on our journey to Melbourne. It was alright, we couldn’t talk much on the bus because there was a movie playing, ‘Remember the Titans’ but I was busy playing with her PSP. There were lots of stops on the way to Melbourne and I couldn’t really sleep very well. It was freaking COLD! It was 6 degrees outside!!
I kept waking up at every stop that we made. I planned to have a nap when we reached the backpacker’s hotel… well…when we got there, it was alright… at first glance.
We got the twin room and er… when we got to our room (the lift was scary enough), it was just a narrow hall then a turn to the left was the bunk bed. Soo Hui climbed up but there was no ladder so she had trouble getting down. We changed to a double room which was a whole lot better.
 Places we visited::
The Crown Casino
It’s huge!! There’s everything in there. I wouldn’t mind living there but I’d have to show my passport every time I return, the bouncers always suspect me -______-


Some arcade near the casino
The arcade was much more appealing and we ended up playing lots of games, esp, one particular machine that gave us the most points, we collected enough points for some crappy gifts but it was fun doing so


Melbourne Aquarium
It was my first time in such a place and it was BRILLIANT!!! I love the sharks and manta rays! The elephant fish were so happy to see us, they kept trying to hop out of the tank… but I suppose it could be that they wanted to hop into the arms of the cute guy that was beside me. Pervert fish.


Chinatown
It’s so much better than our own Chinatown here in Adelaide… :(
ARGHH!! I definitely spotted quite a number of cute guys along the roads of Chinatown.

Queen Victoria Market
They sell EVERYTHING here!!! I bought this lovely white jacket that everyone is SOOOOOO jealous of. KAKAKAKA!

Melbourne
Central & Myers
Well… they have NOTHING like this in Adelaide!!
But we didn’t really buy anything from here because everything seemed suspiciously overpriced despite the sale. I did get a while purse though and earrings for Debbie.
 Yarra River
We actually wanted to go biking but I thought that fifteen dollars was a little pricey for a ride around so poor Soo Hui didn’t get a chance to ride. We then walked around until we got to some stadiums where I believed the ‘Melbourne Open’ was held. We could see the Olympic stadium as well. It was a little strange being in such a place where talented athletes come to compete. Can you imagine all that drama that goes on in there???

Bourke Street
This is where a lot of shops are found. The heart of shopping paradise.
Soo Hui bought her Nike shoes here. Let’s just say that they’re extremely comfy.
 I don’t think we went anywhere else. We only had three days there and we were almost bored by the second day. Yes, we are hard people to please.
I found out that Soo Hui and I are very different, despite a bit of bickering here and there as well as getting confused with the map (we’re very bad with directions)
I didn’t manage to pretend I’m a lost tourist and ask help from good-looking locals. Although there were about two people who came up to us and asked us for directions. I can proudly say that I was able to help one because Delone was doing most of the talking and I was just pointing to where he was mentioning. Oh, yeah, we met up with Delone. He seemed like a busy fella and we only hung out with him for about an hour. He’s quite nice and he treated us to boost juice.
 I can’t comment on the guys because I spent most of my time looking at the map. Although there are a lot of Asians here… About half of the population (FYI which is about 5.4 million), yeah, half of that are Asians. Melbourne has like one sixth of the total population of Australia.
 Soo Hui says that she might be going to Melbourne to study by the second semester. I’m kinda torn between acting like the encouraging friend and a total selfish bitch. She’s kinda like my only good friend here in Adelaide, outside of my circle of friends.
NGEH.

Oh, and we heard a couple making out in the other room next to ours on our last day. They got back in and she was kinda drunk. They were talking in a slurry manner and started doing it. It was REALLY, REALLY, REALLY weird. It was awful!! Soo Hui shot up from bed and went, “Lishaaaaaa~”
I was like, “This is so weird!”
Then we laughed because it was funny too. Ugh….
Then they argued and the guy said that he had to leave but then they made up and started doing it AGAIN.
By this time, Soo Hui was already asleep and I was pretty much annoyed.
 Oh, Soo Hui and I will never EVER stay in a backpackers’ hotel EVER again.
Well, it was really fun though despite it all :)
 I would really love to post up pictures but I can’t be bothered.
Soo Hui’s mom is most likely coming next week to Melbourne with a friend to go around shopping and stuff.
So my mom can pack some stuff for her to bring to me!! YAY!!!

wow... life is a strange twisted thing

nothing really bad happened that made me feel this way.. it's just that i feel that it's a real strange thing.. this life deal..
i'm actually in australia with Soo Hui!!
And we're heading to melbourne tomorrow night!!
I hope things won't go too bad because we're both very bad with directions but i have confidence that i can get us out of any mess that we'll get ourselves into.

I slept over at soo hui's place last night as we planned for the melbourne trip. we still have no idea what to do there but to go exploring and shopping :)

It's so brilliant that she has internet at home. i have no idea when mine's coming!! A freaking long wait it's been!
Our 2 week study break has just started but not without being tortured first. We had three days of quizzes and an essay before we were finally set freed.
I did pretty well for my Structures & Reactivity of Biomolecules quiz which surprised me. Now i'm having second thoughts about choosing the biotech stream.
We have a choice of the biotechnology and chemistry stream by the second semester in august.
NGEH.

I've bought so much stuff since i came here!
I'll post up pictures, I promise.

My last purchase was a turtle-neck jumper which i adore!
God, i spend so much money. i must make more money. i wonder which stream will give a better pay.

Now that i'm sitting here in soo hui's room while she's snoozing (pig!! ....sigh.. how i wish i could sleep too!) and i look out her window and i see the blue-y sky... the sky here isnt like the sky in brunei.. it's brighter here, it's sunnier (yes, we have a hole in the ozone layer above us). it's really beautiful

in the middle. there's a really tall prominent-looking building where the clouds and the setting sun are caught in its many many many windows.

it makes me feel glad to be alive..
now i wish i had my biochem book with me so i can study because i suddenly have a stupid urge to study

ugh.. why can't this sort of feeling happen when im supposed to be studying for a quiz or something??




FA LA LA LA .. LA LA LAAAAAAAA...
life is fab



love from down under.
Lisha
