it's fri tmr, and wkend's coming again. 3 more wks of sch and it'll be time for exams alr. it's high time to start revising, but the mind and body are both weak in this discipline.

it's drought season in aus. water scarcity. cows are getting slaughtered cos the farmers cannot afford to keep them. guess cheaper beef on the market means i'll be having lots of beef for meals at college! oh no...my appetite's grown since i returned. i've been eating almost twice of wad i'd normally eat in sg. it's scaring me out. can't be 2nd puberty, cos i can only feel myself growing sideways. alright, maybe i'm not growing sideways, it's juz the silly dryer shrinking my clothes. my jeans were below my shoes when i first wore them here, but now, i can see the back of my heels in it. let's hope it's really the dryer's fault for making my clothes tighter. haha :)

2 of the 3 sockets in my room tripped together 2 nights ago. i had to resort to using the socket above my sink to power my laptop and fan. it's so awkward to be connecting the wires to the socket above the sink, it looks so odd and out of place. and if any water gets to the socket, i'm dead meat! after i harassed the receptionist, they finally got it fixed this morning. thank goodness, no more wires near the sink.

had 'indian curry' for dinner yst. haha, i can't help but laugh. i can tell they're trying their best, but somehow, it always falls short. i could taste the curry powder they added inside, but the other ingredients were so, wrong. there was corn, cucumber, carrots, onions...it shud have been called, very mild vegetarian red paste dish. nonetheless, good try. haha...tonight's dinner sucks though, lamb again. yucks...

weather's been getting even crazier, summer one day, spring another. the temp went up to 36 DegC over the wkend, and dropped to below 20 on mon. if only sg's weather was so extreme as well, it shud be helluva fun. and as usual, we'll have ppl suntanning on the open fields when the sun is out. i think they're more likely to get skin cancer than a tan in the heat!

wkend's coming, time to venture out again. it's a weekly problem, thinking of which place to go on sat. haha...but it's a good prob to have. maybe i shud go chinatown and buy some shorts to wear to lects...

into the 3rd wk of sch alr...been busy rushing out an econ assignment over the weekend. it took up my entire weekend, and quite a few hrs tdy to complete all the questions. tt's the thing abt giving us time to prepare the ans, the demand's higher and the questions, tougher. anyway, it's finally completed, time to rest my brain for tdy.

everything's going on as usual, sch, eat, slp, hw...the weather's been very erratic...it went up to 38 deg C last fri and sat and tdy's temp fell below 20. one day i was sweating in my singlet out in the sun, getting sun-burned, and the next i'm clothed in long pants and sweater again. it's kinda fun i guess, alternate summer and spring days. usually it's abt 3 months between summer and spring, here the diff's only a few days apart. haha...it's a good opportunity to wear diff kinds of clothing according to the weather...but aside from tt, my room feels like a heater during the hotter days. the fan doesn't seem to be helping much. i'm hoping for someone to donate their air-con to me now!! or a fridge will do too, i'll juz leave the door open the entire while!! haha...

the bees haven't returned since the previous time i complained abt it. let's hope it'll stay that way. i've evn taped up the sides of my window cos i dunno where's the hole they sneak in from. the bees are gone, but the flies are here to stay. not in my room, but out on the streets. guess they're a part of spring/summer. the no of flies keeps growing. they'll bug you to no end, always kissing my face and ear!! regardless of the no of times they get shooed away, their determination is commendable. as long as they dun leave any bites on my face, i'll make do with the relentless shooing.

heard tt there's a drought in aus now. farmers are killing their cows cos they can't afford to feed them - no water, no grass. maybe tt's why i've been having a lot of beef at college the past few days...cheap beef on sale! i will start looking the size of a cow if i continue to eat beef everyday...sigh, think i'm getting malnutrition here. all beef...and bread...no other varieties of food to choose from...

mangoes are coming into season. the price of mangoes are gradually falling...a medium sized mango costs abt $1 on their cheaper days...it's a pretty good deal. heard cherries will be coming into season soon too....wonder how cheap they'll be going for...haha...though i'm not much of a cherry-fan, new habits are never too late to be picked up!! heh :)

ya, exams starting in roughly a month's time...sigh sigh...can't wait to be over and done with it...at least i'll feel less guilty when i'm out shopping...

back in sydney now...sigh...so sad i'm back.

the sun is hot, lots of studying to do, no tv...

had a slight fever on the day i returned, maybe cos i din have sufficient rest. only managed to catch a few hours of sleep on the plane. no cocktails available on the plane this time though...only wine...anyway, with some fever pills and loads of sleep, the fever's gone alr.

packing was madness, like war zone. i'm so amazed i actually managed to sort out the mess all by myself, good job celeste! haha...

my room's hot and stuffy now. i dun dare open the windows to prevent more bees from entering, though some smarter bees have found a secret tunnel thru the windows into the room. had to get ppl to spray the bees in my room for me, hopefully, they'll seal the windows for me tdy as requested.

food at hostel's been pretty good so far. had pasta twice alr, passable. but breakfast was good. there was bagel and crepes. first time they've served it since i arrived. carrot cake desert during dinner last night was fabulous too. the side dishes always taste better than the main course somehow. why do we bother having the main dish actually? haha...

got lots of assignments due soon, and tests coming up. it's not so slack aft all i guess...haha...the DRAFT of my exam timetable's out alr. it's not confirmed yet, but there usually isn't much changes to it. my MAIN subjects finish on the 23rd, but becos of chinese...i've got to stay back for a few extra days!! argh...i'll juz use the extra days in betw my last paper and chinese to go shopping and packing. sigh sigh...i'm alr looking forward to my long break aft the exams!!

talking abt exams, psle's this wk, Os & As should be starting in a few wks time too...hope my sis'll cope well. heh:)

sleep deficient mode now, turned in late last night, so i'm lacking some rest...haha...i can feel myself ageing alr!! my body can't do with lesser hrs of slp now...sigh....lao le lao le
