before and after




Dinner was good, had some tazzie wine with taiji-chong, jiejiekaren and gary, which i found not too much to my liking. I did have a second glass of wine tho, but it was as far as i went. By now i was on the verge of dying cos i was mad bloated. Considering my life, and his car, ken drove ssassa and i home, where i almost choked the toilet, before sharing my pains with the Valencia. Mum then knocks and apparently dad wants to play mahjong. Soon after, dad comes in saying that mum told him I wanted to play mahjong. It's obvious by now that 2 out of the 3 pple involved wanted to play. Ken is always game, and because majority wins, 3 became 4 and i found myself contracted to the table for 2 hours+. Mahjong isn't bad, but i was kinda tired and i was missing cards that i was supposed to 'eat' cos i left my concentration tucked in bed as i made for the MJtable. Surprisingly, i ended up not losing my pants(big problem given how cold it is here), and so here i am, weary and looking forward to where my dreams decide to take me tonight~ Jeanne gets me to load up agneselle and tracyeinny


Last night we had a royal steak and it was good! meats are so much cheaper here (o happy day~) The food here is prolly not healthier, but somehow it feels healthier! maybe that's the reason everytime i come over i put on alot! sighs. exam results today! I hope i dun screw up den cannot do honours! :( wells i dun care wadever i get as long as i'm allowed to do year 4~ I sooooo dun wanna work yet cos i'm unprepared!~ OK i'm back here now with my results and all checked. This sem has reiterated my belief that studying for exams for me is next to useless. I've long questioned the usefulness of studying for exams in NUS, especially because : 1) when i put in the effort to study, my grades do not improve. 2) when i study only hours (if at all) before my exam, my grades do not drop. My grades are unspectacularly mediocre yet AGAIN. Not good enough to celebrate, not poor enough to contemplate self-mutilation. Anyhow, here i am, sitting in my bed while the West Coast Eagles take on Carlton outside on channel3. I'm freezing my ass off now and i am seriously considering saving some bath water for the good of the planet, being the environmentalist that i am hurhur. 1 more week to returning to singapore! While i miss home a tad, i must admit, incredulously, that i'll prolly miss, as well, this rather placid country where my older relatives and the few adorable gnats call home~ It's been a pleasurable stay here with my macbook, DS, cards and my book~ Perhaps later i'll go practice some card tricks. Many say that card tricks need to be practiced, but my skills hardly get rusty, since i know next to no tricks. but practice is good cos it keeps me with something to do, and i get to wow the kiddies here and there haha. Also, i'll spend some time looking into the history of opium in southeastasia since K is bugging me to do it. It's quite funny, but being in the company of so many here, i find that i spend the majority of my day with K on Gchat! haha. Distance can bring pple closer i suppose, tho this isn't closer exactly. lol 'Closer'. haha that nice show btw. Today was cold and drizzly, which meant that there wasn't any activity outside the safe, warmer confines of home. Well contrary to what others think, i believe that one CAN enjoy a holiday just bumming around at home with nice biscuits, good breakfast and a flavourful cup of tea/or the occasional hot chocolate. We had a good round of mahjong today. Sigh. After about 1000 games of mahjong over 10 years, it seems to get a tad boring. Each round used to be a puzzle, yet now it seems like a bunch of algorithms. And there used to be a thrill of winning by great margins and making people Bao when u've got big cards. Well, now all that remains is bragging rights (which actually isn't too bad is it? haha). This is a snap of Isla joy n alyssa joan. To be continued tmrw.


After that breakfast isn't complete without tai-ji's blueberry muffins! Fresh muffins and waffles.
Breakfast doesn't get better, especially when it's close to the heart.
for a walk this morning because of the slight drizzle. A lazy kinda morning, which explains the entry this early. Oh..i need to get the recipes. Tsktsk. Brb.



That's from the first lookout we chanced upon. I can't quite remember what it's called now. I like how the long part kinda connects onto the main part of Bruny island. Much like how a finger connects to the palm of the hand. See the river on both sides of the land? pretty nice this~ The photo doesn't do the view justice to be honest.
Next up is a looooong way back to launceston...zzz...talked to ken about music and stuff. We reach and check in at the arc manor and had dominos pizza and salad from woolworths for dinner. Mental note to tell bro that there's a ken has a nice guitar at his place, and it actually belongs to bro. Ken and i watched 'the unborn' and i learnt that odette yustman is not just a movie poster photogenic hottie. I also said hi to sunny, and she allowed me to use some of the korean i learnt i picked up in sch~ like keneun syaworhaeyo~ annyeonghasaeyo~~ she said jeanne was very pretty and i am very lucky. Have to agree on that! ^_^ I followed up with Ken's lucky too and nordo yepeumnida~ I remove my contacts into in a drinking mug with some inviting saline solution. Gdnite. sleep tight. dun let the bed bugs bite.
We also visited a place called ringarooma. WHere there were these chainsaw carvings from trees!~ Amazing. Self explanatory these pictures are, even with low quality.
