13 hours! WHEE

Just arranged my timetable for this semester and realised I only have 13 hours a week. HALLELUJAH! It's a far cry from the 24 hour week I had last year and I can actually fit all my classes into 3 days if everything goes according to plan!

It's now 2 - 5 - 4 hours from Wednesday to Friday, with my Games Studio Lab and Tutorial yet to be allocated. I'll find out next week.

For now, I'm praying reallllly hard for those 2 hours to be allocated on Wednesday evening, so I get a 4 - 5 - 4 hour week. :D

If I don't get it, I guess I have to have class for 2 hours on Wednesday and the following 2 available slots are on Monday and Tuesday, which ruins my 3-day-school-week plan T__T

But that's still ok. My earliest class is at 10.30 am. WOOOOT! Last year my earliest class was at 9 (which I was habitually late for) and the latest morning I had was a 10.00 am class once a week.

Now I can sleep in! HAHA AWESOMEEEE. My latest class is 5pm to 8pm, which sucks. But that's ok cause ALL my classes are on Bowen lane which is like, a 7 minute walk from my apartment.

HAHA LUCKY MEEEEE!

So gleeful, you can't imagine. XD Hopefully the workload is proportional to the class hours - LESS.

Then I can get a part-time job from Saturday to Tuesday that pays a minimum of 10 freaking dollars an hour and be RICH! $$$$$

But I'll think about that later. I'm still a lazy bum, lol. Rest and leisure is more important than money to me :P

WHEEEEEEEEE. And Amanda has Mondays and Thursdays off so we are gonna try to find a job together :))) That is, after we assess our average workload and determine whether we have enough time to juggle work and assignments.

NANANANA HAPPY UNI DAYS!

(I'm afraid 2 months down the road I'm going to look back at that previous sentence, cursing my naivety from under a mountain of assignments.)

:) Anyway, Sam just bought a bigger tank, 5 litres of water, dechlorinating fluid and 2kg of sea salt for our babies!

!!! Such commitment where to find wei! HAHA. The little impulsive decision to buy our 5rm crabbies turned into one big investment. I wonder how much it cost. Must pay him back. They are OUR babies after all hor?

Hopefully they won't suddenly curl up and die in the KL heat wei. I would be damn sad. I ACTUALLY MISS THEM OK. I keep asking Sam how our little crabbies are and did he spray them and are they awake and blablabla.

Later he's gonna think I love them more than him aha.

Anyway he's back d so I'm signing off. Shopping with Manda tomorrow (today's plan failed. We both overslept SURPRISE SURPRISE.)

Day 2:

Making an ugly face while wearing the shirt my boyfriend bought for me. If you don't want to be slightly grossed out, stop reading here.

That day Sam asked whether he can have Mickey's feet and I said NO because all he wanted to was grab my boobs. -_- I was like wtf that's damn lame wei you're not going to trick anyone with that. Then he asked whether he can have Mickey's head instead.

And I am damn fucking stupid. I pulled my t-shirt and looked down to find where Mickey's head was and when I exclaimed OH! very stupidly, he leaned over and kissed me.

So ok la. Stupid story but happy ending. :) Tata.

Bad crab :(

Sam just called me and told me that my very naughty crab almost suicided in the absence of his mommy :((((

He woke with a jolt at 6.30 am this morning and so ngam he heard a thud and discovered Snowcrabbie was missing. The thud was from her shell hitting the tiles on the balcony.

NOOOO DON'T JUMP! T___T MOMMY STILL LOVES YOU! FROM ANOTHER CONTINENT!

:'(

But happy ending. Sam put her back in her enclosure and she's still alive and well. *sniffs*

Today I settled my insurance and my registration. Tomorrow I can go shopping! And eat Ying Thai! And Freddo! :D

Life in Melbourne isn't bad at all. I'm actually rather looking forward to my classes, but I'm afraid of developing the SIEN feeling after a while.

I need to find people I can truly click with. Amanda is my best Melbourne friend now and while I can pretty much get along with her, we're far too different to actually be really close.

In fact, I don't think we have any common interests besides assignments and shopping. GG.

She likes Korean boys and EVERYTHING, clubbing, lala-ish but still pretty chic fashion.

I like shy geeky boys, games, reading, and animals. I wear the same t-shirts and jeans almost the whole year through.

I like to have fun and it's a bit off-putting when your friend looks embarrassed when you do or ask something deemed weird instead of laughing with you and going with the flow.

I guess it's just plain personality differences but she's the best friend I have here and I appreciate that :)

I'm finally going to commence my studies in GAMESSSS so I hope I find like-minded people there. To tell you the truth, overly-dressed people (as in fashion-savvy people, not that I like seeing people half-naked) intimidate me a bit. Whenever I see them I either feel repulsed or out of place. :S

Overly geeky people also put me off. Like all they are gonna talk about is WoW or Starcraft or something. I mean I enjoy my share of geeky game talk, but it's a different matter entirely when they can tell you the entire history of Arthas from memory and if we don't play the same games, I won't understand what they are saying.

And I'm also a bit scared of angmohs. I know it's so stereotypical but I think of the Aussies as loud, outgoing people who have casual sex and can drink their own weight in liquor. Scary T__T

That doesn't leave many people for me to befriend. x___x I wanna find someone friendly, guy or girl it doesn't matter. Just someone I can chat, game, do assignments and go out with.

But of course, I haven't even met any coursemates yet, let alone get to know them. They may look like a TYPE of person but behave like another altogether. :) Maybe they are all nice.

I hope they are.

I'm shy when meeting new people. Please make this easy for me. *hangs head*

Now, I am bored. I miss my story books immensely. I should clean up my room. I have nothing to do and I downloaded a whole bunch of songs. Yay for 11mbps speed.

Tomorrow I'm going shopping with Amanda; did I mention that already?

Okay. Signing off with a picture of me.

I think I'm going to take a picture of myself every day and post it up until I return to Malaysia. Just for fun. And to see how I change over the months. :)

Cheers ad good night!

Day 1:

Insufficient sleep. Just had a shower and a mint ice cream cone. Chatting with boyfriend about our crabbies. :) My bangs have finally grown out.
