Greetings!

I'm finally back!

And its great to be back.

The heat tho, is terrible! But its getting better, all i need to do is reclimatise myself again and i'll be fine. Can't blame me, Perth is in winter right now. Not tht its really that cold or we see snow, but constantly being around the 20 degree mark still makes a difference.

But the whole point of this post is to inject some colour into my pathetic looking blog. Pictures! Because Curtin deprives its residents the luxury of posting pictures and excessing anything related to leisure (well to a certain degree anyways).

And so, Here goes..

There, somewhat of a glimpse of whats been happening over the past few months.

Have A Nice Day.

Canucky on a jet plane..

Brett's leaving tonight..

Now this would seem heavily tinged with gay-ness but, y'know that feeling you get when someone you've really gotten to know is leaving?

It's really really sad. Hey, even Shu-Wen says she's gonna really miss him. It's that nice a guy Brett is. In a sense he did help me fit in better among the others living in KV, he's the one who introduced me to everyone on the exchange program so credit to him.

But really, he cooks massive dinners. Roasted chicken with squashes and apple sauce. MMmm..

Shu-Wen's dad can't really believe he's a farm boy. But really he is quite the gentleman and soft spoken to an extent to dismiss any thought of him roughing it out in the marshlands. But yet, he proudly talks abt hunting and calling in ducks just so he can shoot them.

The second Canucky to leave after Drew..

I guess i understand why Marc has this fondness of Canada. They produce really good friends. Shu-Wen agrees! she's missing Becky already.

Oh well.




To top of the not so happy day, it's Property Economics 201 later at 6:45 pm then right after i'm off to the airport.
=(

Getting rooted in the book..

Greetings!

The weather's taken a pretty good turn, i was able to trot out in shorts and flip flops again. It was a good feeling. With exams beginning on Monday, i guess i can be excused for attempting to take in the little joys in my sorry pathetic state.

It's pretty horrid to have your face planted into books for much of the day and night. The non-movement makes it all the more colder (lucky for the gym, it represents my only reprieve). To add insult to injury, Brett's leaving on Tuesday morning. The morning i'm due to sit for my Construction paper! Sigh... My housemate is going back to Canada. Seriously i couldn't have asked for a better house/toilet (since we share an ensuite bathroom) mate. All the notion that whites are dirty, this farmboy is surprisingly tidy which means when inspection days come around we only need to wipe of dust from the counters! makes things so much easier. He'll be missed.

On an unrelated note, i finally watched the 'Pursuit of Happyness' after seeing the poster for it up in December last year. The movie didn't dissapoint one bit. Acctually, it was the best movie of the year so far.. The movie was just so inspiring and the acting was so moving it was fantastic. To know that the movie was actually a true story makes it all the more inspiring, to me the movie defined the word determination and hope

Oh well back to studying. I'm getting quite excited to go back already. But even more excited to see what the following semester holds.

Have A Nice Day.
