Oh my God, u know what? I have holidays this week, from tomorrow till Friday and i actually forgot about it? You know why? Cuz i have lots of work to do: catching up on the reading i ignored to do because of the assignment for management and reading ahead on everything.

Ya, u heard me, reading ahead, i want to. Hope i can, cuz the semesters at Monash are real short, 13 weeks only. Have to cram everything. 9 assignments in 13 weeks. Now it's week 4-5 and i've only handed out ONE assignment. 8 more to go u know? Plus study for the final exams too?

All the sacrifices we have to go through these days to get a stupid degree. The other day, Wednesday the 23rd March a group of friends went to watch the movie Hitch and celebrate the birthday of the one who is one day younger than me. I really really really wanted to go! But i didnt. Couldn't. Had to do that management assignment.

In a way i'm proud of myself being able to say "no, can't go". Last year i always felt like shit when i did. This time i didn't feel so bad. I guess it's thanks to this workshop they had for us during Monash orientation week, about assertive skills. Where they tell u how 2 say "no" and state ur feelings. Good workshop to me. C, K, R and W skipped it, but guess the don't need it, C and K are aggresive people! Haha

The weekdays in uni was tough this week, but the weekend after it all ended was great. =)

Hey, let me complain a bit.

I HATE the subject Managing People and Organisations, MGW1010!!!!!!! It's horrible!!! Stupid argumentative essay dued on Friday and i haven't wrote a thing. So many stupid stuff to read before writing. And there's all the crap referencing, why must we follow the Havard method or the whatever method? As long as u give credits it should be enough la, stupid methods, go to hell. And u know, i killed a lot of trees printing all the stupid journals for the assignment. And i had 2 read all the crap in the journals.

I read 12 stupid pages that were totally useless yesterday. It wasn't easy finding that 12 pages, i thought it'd be useful, stupid misleading announcement, told me that the journal would be useful. I was so happy i found it and it turned out completely useless.

I also HATE using the computer and the internet for studies, it's supposed 2 be for fun. To me. And it hates me too, u know??? The IT help desk in Monash are probably sick of me, i keep on seeing them. I have no choice. First they gave me a wrong username, misspelled my surname. Then they denied me access to the WebCT (a website we use to gain information in our subjects). Then when i'm finally able to use the WebCT, they only showed three of my subjects andnot four. Dumb.

Ok, enough, i've gotta stare at papers

Hey hey, i'm in a good mood, sorta hyper... that's what we ex-Ausmats to call this feeling i'm feeling. But it's already wearing out...

In case i don't have time to write as long as i usually do, the rest of my birthday was extremely great. Simple, not extravagant but still great. More than i expected.

And there were many birthday testimonials on Friendster for me. Didn't know about them until today. They were sweet and replying them was so much fun. That's what threw me into another phase of good mood. So good that i posted a bulletin, wonder if it turns out. The mails i receive were great too, really want to reply but my assignments are screaming at me!

Gotta go before they wake my sister up. She has school tomorrow, such a cute girl she is... standard one. Love her lots.

Wah i'm damn happy again u know. I was just reading J's blog and the first thing i saw was her wish to me!!! =) And she says that i have a positive effect on her!!!!! =)

While i was reading that M smsed me to wish me a happy birthday!!! =) And she told me that there is something on her blog for me!!! Wow, i'm just so touched and thrilled, although i haven't read it yet =)

Oh and i didn't eat any more crickets today, didn't have the time la, had to eat a proper lunch (chicken noodles if your wondering) before rushing to class today.

In between my classes i recieved a very surprising and delightful sms. S and another friend, J were in the Sunway college cafeteria!!!! They came to see me!!! They had some LAN stuff to take care off and they are attending Christian Fellowship, but they could have came next week or last week or any other one of the 52 weeks in the year but they chose today!!!! =)

And then halfway through typing this, i went to get my thumb drive (i always save whatever i write on my blog) and on the way to my bag (i'm the the computer lab in college by the way, with E by my side, hehe). So, so, i was on the way to get my thumb drive and i saw this girl i knew from camp more than a year ago. She studies here and i've seen her around a few times last year, but she didnt seem to remember me so i never said hie to her then. But today! U know the good good mood i'm in now? So i called her name and said hie! And she does remember me!!!!

Okay that is nothing to be happy about to most of u people, but i dun care, i'm happy.

Wait, this is not right, i had a lot more happy thoughts i wanted to write about but i guess i forgot what they are. So i'm gonna read M's blog now and then i'd probably blog again later?

Wow i'm tired. But i just wanna blog, just have to. I'm sooo happy.

It's 17 March, my birthday, hehehehe. There was nothing specially organised for me on my birthday eve or my birthday day unlike someone who is a day younger than me and the plan for the day after my birthday got canceled but i'm still damn happy.

Haha, a bunch of us(P, W, J, C, me, E and A) went to watch a Philippine movie, Feng Shui it was all in Tagalog but the quality was good: it wasn't a dark and gloomy film but it was scary. Gotta admit i did scream but guess no one noticed. I did laugh a lot too. C and i laughed so much at a particular scene. The subtitles were clear and the storyline isn't too far fetched, it's believable. Ending isn't that good, but nowadays most directors overdo the ending so it is easily forgiven.

So, the movie was good. And we talked before the movie... we talked after the movie and during the movie. Hehe. One reason why i'm so happy is that i never really talked to this bunch of people last year, although we were in Ausmat together(C and E excluded). I just feel so happy that i'm able get along with them, laugh, joke whatever.

I didn't make many friends in my faculty and i know enough new faces to smile wave and chat with. Of course, i have friends to sit next to in class... but well... the number of people to sit next to isn't increasing.

What i've done mainly is get closer to those ex-Ausmats, which is great!

Another thing that made me really happy is E. He surprised me with a crazy gift. If i have time to spare i'd take pictures of it for ya ok? Until then I'll leave u guessing what it is. We had a good dinner too, hehe, i got to eat red meat, covered in cheese, baked with rice. Yum! =)

And then he sent me home, got home before 11. Erm... HOME, not the hostel. My mom's sister and her family came... and i had a chat with my parents about uni life. They miss me! One of my parents, dun remember which one, felt as if i've been gone for a week... when i've only been gone for 2 nights! =) I also got to hug and SQUEEEEEEEZE my lil' sister!

What else did i do, chat with my Phillipino maid... about the movie mainly. Wow, it's good to be home! Hahaha and i've only been gone for 2 nights.

One other thing i appreciate is the shower, i don't have to pick up the hair i drop. Hehehe, i get to just leave it there and not bother about offending the housemates or flooding the place. And there's milk in the fridge! And a microwave... wow, civilization! A rare opportunity to drink warm milk at 12.30am =)

Haha... I have a lot of positive feelings tonight. All the things i'm proud of just come to mind. I'm happy being me now. Don't get me wrong, i still remember that i'm stressed and i'm gonna suffer tomorrow morning... but i'm just so happy la.

Oh Oh! One more thing i'm proud of... i ate a cricket! Yea, the insect. Cricket. Did i get the spelling right? Yay! I ate an insect. It was cooked. And it was covered in overflowing chocolate. It tasted like chocolate wafer. I'd go get another one today! You should go too. The Monash Biotech club booth in Sunway University College. I joined the club although i'm a business student. You should too! Haha, free publicity for them just cuz they fed me a bug.

Oh yea, did i tell u that i'm gonna double major in accounting and marketing and get a minor in writing? Change of plans. I'm only gonna do a single major which is probably marketing and the minor. Because if i double major i'd have to take 3 extra units(subjects) during summer. And my father would have to pay about RM9000.00 for it, tuition fees alone. U know, uni life isn't a piece of cake, and like C and i agreed the other day... we're paying so much just to go through hell.

So i'd just go through basic hell la. I mean, i'd just get a basic degree la. With no double majors. No need to pay for additional suffering la.

I could just write and write and write here but i'd better stop soon. There is a lot of work i haven't done and i sooo want to do well. I've seen fourth year students and i've spoken to some of them. It's stupid to be unable to graduate just cuz u failed one stupid subject. I dun wanna be like them, so... sigh... a nerd i'll be. And i'd have to practice assertive skills, which is saying no to your friends.

Shit, it's gonna be tough.

But i'm still happy. Hahahahaha, maybe the tea i drank was good. Or was it the cricket?
