The Lap Dog

Greetings!

It's still raining daily. Primarily at night. So i can't really complain. Makes it all the more enjoyable to sleep.

But i don't think i'll be getting much of tht for the next 2 weeks. Make that 3 weeks. While my mind wrestles with procrastination, i've rather efficiently drawn up a mental list of things i want to get/ bring/ do in Aussie. How far this will go towards accomplishment will remain to be seen.

I've been doing some thinking of late. Not those just sitting and brooding kind. More of playing constantly in my mind usually when i'm talking to shu-wen or when i'm alone. I can't say i don't know why, i have after all been pacing my mind through these things anyways. Oh well.. i'll see how things go.

The funny things about me tho was actually highlighted to me once while i was having dinner with John after his futsal session in maju maju. So we shared on stuff thts been going on in ur lives, and i can say it was really encouraging to have a christian friend like him who'd understand the struggles i go through.

But he also remarked how i actually knew all the answers or rather measures to take to ractify the problem but i just don't seem to want to take that option up. It's like having a map telling me to go north but instead i'd rather say "let's try going south".

I have no idea why. It inda sickens me actually.

Thats was just a thought, i'm not sure why i'm sharing but y'know thats what blogs are for since its no longer considered cool to keep a diary.

But above and beyond all that. I'm a pretty happy boy=)

Here's why..




Meet Joe2!

It asked me to give it a name when setting up so instead of Dell Inspiron 6400 why not call it Joe2? haha..

And now it sits pretty in my room like an ornamental piece. (okay, not really. I'm using it to blog right now.) I move it around with so much care i think once i'm doine with this whole new phase i can succesfully hold a baby! Need to however protect it from Sean whom is hellbent on "de-virginizing" it with porn. Urghhh.. the degradatory remarks the boy can make!

Haha.. i'm joking. No Porn whatsoever touches this comp though. Y'know, to further edify tht point maybe i should go install the whole Bible inside here. Hah!

I know, that doesn't make sense. It's all in the heart aint it?

Have a nice day.

Exciting Times

It's raining again.

It has been for the past few days. Consistently every evening.

Unlike dry ol' Perth=)

Anyways, things are taking shape for my much delayed departure to Oz. But nonetheless, i'm finally going which is a good thing. It's not just Shu-Wen, It's the whole idea of going to live on my own and feeling more grown up! Or at least try to be. I know my sister grew up allot there, so i'm optimistic.

Curtin people coming by next week to finalize my enrollment, the forms are filled and accomodation is pending. Now i must hope and pray i either one of those houses. I've opted for on campus accomodation! Yes, how unimmaginative is that? But it actually does seem cheaper then going outside to rent when you consider all the securty and facilities you're getting. At $114 - $119 a week, it seems reasonable. All utilities included.

So lets hope i get approved for a place there. Right next to Uni, all my late for class issues would be a thing of the past! But then I would be 20 minutes away from Shu-Wen's place. Oh well, i'll have to master Bus 98's timetable well then.

But anyways, I'm just really excited to be going. I'm really glad i even have the opportunity to go. I know i gripe a whole deal about not going for all 3 years, but I guess my parent's concern abt me being discipline enough without supervision are well founded. But i'm glad i've at least proven to them i can be trusted.

But more importantly, if i hadn't had stayed imagine all i would've missed out on? It's really been great meeting the people i've met throughout the course of the year. The things i've managed to accomplish, its just stuff i would never have thought i would do.

First things first is to not let the euphoria of leaving cloud out my mind from whats important. Which is taking time out to spend time with the people that mean the most to me and enjoying some semblance of bachelor-hood before i leave=) Not that i'm complaining, don't get me wrong I simply love Shu-Wen's company! So Sean, Tim, and Co. No ratting out on me when you finally meet Shu-Wen. I've been completely faithful. In Fact, so faithful till Sean's sister is sick of me telling her about Shu-Wen=)

More importantly, Exams are almost here. I desperately need to start studying!

I'm actually fine with flipping through the pages of say.. marketing, management, and law. But Finance?!? It kinda send shiver down my spine. I'm serious! It's that bad.

I really don't have a single bone in my body which inclines towards finance and yet here i am pursuing the most finance based Major of all, Property Valuation! Arghhh... How did i get my parents to talk me into it. I wanted to be an architect!

...I still do, which ends up with me staring attentively at the drawings of my new house like a little boy. I'm fascinated with designing buildings! I guess property valuation won't take me too far from that. So thats a plus point.

I'll have to get on to Finance sooner rather then later before its too late.

...I'll do so after i finish 'Shopaholic Ties The Knot'. Ys!! I know its a girls book, but its nice okay! Very light reading no wonder its like a staple read for all females. I'll give further thoughts on that once i'm done. I'm at the part Suze's about to deliver and Becky's got her an inflatable cannoe. Hilarious!

My Dell Inspirion 6400 fully customized arrives tmrw. I'm happy. Now i need a crumpler to complete the look. and a new Phone, i want an Atom all of a sudden.Hopefully i can get a good deal on it once i take up the job with my mom's friend after my exams.

I've dug up so old Planet Shakers and Youth Alive CD. I find those albums so beautiful. it somehow feels so honest, filled with raw passion for God. It's just so awesome it makes me feel upset that i find myself so far from God. I know he's actually never really left me but..

I'll get through this dry patch. Yeap! I will, cause he's MY first love! You're always drawn to your first love! hehe..

Exciting times=)

Have A Nice Day.. Cause No day is really nice when exams loom.

Update

Greetings!

Alas, somethin to warrant a blog. An update!

....Thats somethin you won't be finding a great deal of.

For a fact i now know i can pull off fasting or at least skipping a meal. Thats a major milestone for me, so give me some credit aaight. The thing is, what refrained me from eating was that i actually felt good feeling thin. yes i know, that sounds so wrong but ever since i've started hitting the gym regularly i've been getting more vain as the day goes by.

Fine, you may argue i'm always vain but not towards my body. I wouldn't have cared so much before if my waist line was 36 or 32 (i'm 32 now btw) but now... All part of the gym culture. They're already trying to convince me i need to bulk up and pay through my nose for that.

Honestly, the obscene amounts of money require is whats stopping me at the momment. See my point? sigh..

After my mini fast, i hit the gym hoping to build on my now flat tummy to try and sculpt a six pack or somethin. It went horribly wrong. I just didn't have the energy within me to push anything, and so after an hour i gave up and left the gym for food. Ahhh...food glorious food, why did i forsake thee.

I guess i'm still feeling the after effects of going close to 48 hours without sleep before today. 2 Deadlines meant the past few days we're a mad rush. I vow to never ever do last minute work. It drains the living crap out of you. I wasn't alone however, Sean Tim and Just(partially since he was back home but pretty much awake) so it did make it a rather fun time.

Just one more paper to go on monday for Contract Law and then i can begin my real study session. just another a month and i'll be free! Free to concentrate on Cross Advertisement's next project which happens to include a certain Brian Phuah.

Exciting times=)

Have A Nice Day.
