Organising

... Noelle officially hates it. I don't know how I used to do it. I'm trying to keep expectations of smooth sailing low.. which is quite easy considering so much is going wrong. The venue people are not exactly helping with all their changes and all. Gah. But as they say it is once in a lifetime rite. But so is every year!

Invites are done. I only made a few...

Uni is getting busier these past few weeks.. mainly coz all the assignments are due soon. I'm usually busier in the second half of the year anyways. Just hoping to get on top of everything.. so far? not doing too bad.. but just see me complain when the assignments are actually due. On top of that I really need to consider working on my 60% lab report for my research unit. It is due in just less than a month from now. Very scary stuff. But at least that means one less exam =) Which reminds me A BIG THANK YOU TO MY PARTICIPANTS. Due to ethics I won't mention ur names tho =)

I hates all those peoples on break atm. They are giving me the cruisy life.. its all geeewd feeling. When really I should be panicking and productive. Someone give me motivation please. Someone give me something to look forward to. On the second of December 2007 I made a promise after watching LeeHom live that I would be happy for a whole year after that concert. I think it's time for a renewal hehe

依赖

我不要再依赖你了。我要把你放开，你需要你的自由，我需要独立。我需要自己走，走到我找自己的路。但为什么我还要回头看？为什么看到的只是你的背影。难道一却只是一场误会。。难道不是我在放开你而是你，早都已经离开了我。只剩下两个字。。。依赖

Celebrations

Its funny how people respond differently to the same situation. I think its what makes us human I guess. The individual differences that make us who we are. As this is the year where most of my friends turn 21, there has been many many 21 parties. And its interesting to see that people celebrate this coming of age so differently.

This weekend I had two 21st birthdays and a farewell outing. It began on Friday night, where Grace's Birthday was at Box Deli. Its such a cool place... well the washroom was hell awesome!! I was late to it tho, because I had to come from work and was meeting Mishie at Burswood so we could go together. I feel bad Mishie always drives me. Anyway.. Grace's cake was soooo awesome. It was like heaps of little cupcakes. So practical too! But I didn't eat any coz I was feeling a litle sick. Although it was a short night for me it was good.. I got home at like what 12:30-1am? Got to see the warmth of familiar faces again. I only wished it lasted a bit longer cos I didn't get to talk to everyone and it's been a while since I hung with Lisa. Oh well, next time.

The Birthday Girl and her awesome Cake

Last night it was Brendan's 21st. He was celebrating a tad late! I didn't know anyone there!! No one at all (except Canh). At first it was a bit awkard because I felt like I didn't belong.. but Brendan was a good host and attempted to introduce me to everyone at his party. He didn't get far.. I think he got to one person. hehe but then his brother came to chat with us which was pretty cool. He's whole family is really nice.. guess thats why he's a such a nice person. It runs in the family. Most memorable part of Brendan's birthday celebrations was the speeches. They were soo good and funny. They even made a video which was absolutely hilarious! Very touching speeches from his family and friends. And wow what one of the guys said really struck me. Brendan will be a doctor at the age of 22!!! That is so amazing.. but he really deserves it. Can't believe it has been so long since our chinese school days.

Me and Canh

After Brendan's I rushed to Nic's place to have our last "outing before she leaves". Se actually delayed her flights so yeah it wasnt quite a farewell thing. hehe But we ended up at Metros. It was actually not too bad of a Metro night. The crowd was ok and the music was actually better than usual I think. Didn't get home till really late tho coz I had to drop the guys off at Nic's place before heading home. I was soo tired by then. I didn't think I could stay awake enough to drive. I hate that feeling. Luckily I remembered that Ali finishes work around that time so I called him to check if he was awake and could keep me awake as I drove. Just as I was going to give up al picked up and kept me company on my drive home. Thanks Ali! I couldn't stop yawning but once I reached home I was sooo awake!

Me, Nic and Mishie ready for a night out!

Gah woke up early today too.. tired? not really. BUT I HAVE TO START STUDYING! I'm serious!! I will finish the first 1.5 weeks of material by tonite! If not I will not sleep! That is my promise! Laters Guys....

Easily Pleased

Today was the last day before the study week. I didn't really feel like going to class but the thought of having to listen to the ilecture just because I was too lazy to go to my last one hour lecture changed my mind. What got me through it was the thought of lunch after class. Mishie and I went to pick up Nic for lunch. Had dim sum. Sooo Good. I miss dim sum.. it had been so long since I dim summed, and on top of that it mite be the last time I dim sum with Nic in perth. *Sighs* Nic is leaving soon.. even though she delayed her flight for one week. Nic and I used to have a routine of dim sum after each one of our major assignments. Now that she's graduated and going back to Singapore this tradition will no longer hold. Maybe we should go when I am in Singapore early next year.

Anyway we went to our weekly chill place next door for dessert. Well A drink anyway.. I couldn't finish it. I usually get the milk tea which I absoultely love and can't wait to have when I'm in HK next year... But I just realised that it was making me sick everytime I had it. I think its the milk.

Me and Nic with our drinks that look better then they were

We rushed back to uni afterwards because I to run my experiment. And I was lucky enough to get a ride home with Big Jie today. Got home earlier than I expected. And what did I come home to?....

What's inside the package my sister is holding?

How cool huh!?

Heheh I absolutely LOVE parcels .. but doesn't everyone?!? I was totally not expecting this one. Its from Deloitte. They sent be a very pretty introduction file and a nice letter just to welcome me to the summer program later on this year =) But then again I must say I am easily pleased aren't I? hehehe

Anyways I'm off.. Gotta go to work soon

Laters!

I Feel Bleh!

Yah, not feeling my best today. Not only have I written today off as a fat day.. I'm so tired that I can't concentrate on studying for tomorrow's exam. I think i've studied for it quite a bit already, but I think I still need the rest of tonight to cement everything into my brain. But with that said.. I could so fall asleep on the keyboard right now.

Nic and Lisa's Graduation was today. Its so weird seeing everyone graduate and not graduate yet yourself. I think that's will be weird for me next year when I graduate alone... unless I have Caz at the same graduation day. But it was also good to see them graduate. After the many all nighters up with Nic working on lab reports and essays, its finally all worth it for her. And then Lisa, who we always teased for being a slacker with 7 hours of uni a week hahaha nah we had our times too.. with political science essays all the way back in first year and then Chinese which we originally thought was an easy ride (boy were we wrong). Congratulations guys! Sorry no photos coz as I said earlier.. I'm having a fat day and I look like a panda in all the photos!

Booked my venue last Saturday. Deposit paid and all. Right now it all looks too good to be true, but just have to hope that the guy got the date right and that I get an invoice/receipt soon! Getting worried. Am working with Mishie atm to design pretty invites for you all, so stay tuned.

... no one is online. I really need someone to talk to atm. NO. I must remain strong and independent! This is the year of independence! right?!?

Routine That Is Not So Routine

I've always complained that life at the present day is so routine. Week in and week out its just the same old stuff. Wake up. Go to uni. Go to classes. Go home. Eat. Gym. Watch my drama. Study like mad. Go to sleep. Repeat. This routine has been going on for how many years now? But ok lets not talk about the previous years. Just this semester... same stuff.. and yet I still can manage to get my timetable right! I keep thinking classes start earlier then they do. Which is only bad because it means less sleep for me. Its half way thru the semster already and I still haven't got the routine right. I'm at uni atm I thought my class starts at 11.. it doesnt! Ok enough complaining.

Studying for mid sems atm ( I know I said enough complaining... +.+) So tiring. I'm getting so confused at the payoffs for forward and futures contracts. Long call, long put, short call, short put. Its all a mess in my head that needs to be addressed asap. I guess that only means more nights studying.

Apart from the study life.. I'm starting to plan my 21st now. I have a venue in mind already and I've told some of you already. For the rest its just gonna be a surprise. But I think I'm planning a two part thing. Part one is drinks, part two is KTV. Only coz I know a lot of my friends don't like KTV.. so there is the option of only showing up for the drinks if u fall into that category! Even with all that said though, these plans are still speculative. Mainly cos I haven't figured out how I'm going to fund my 21st. *Should really have thought about it before*. Started drawing up a guest list too. Atm the draft I wrote in the car stands at about 70.. but I dont think everyone will turn up. So I dunno how this is all going to work. I mite not end up booking a function room then, and instead just make everyone meet there and have some sort of a bar tab system. I guess I'm not as popular as *some* people LOL. Speculative date is the 17th of October. (I should stop using the word speculative.. its reminding me of my mid sem.) The week after Jase's actually!.. But I'm just not as organised when it comes to planning.

Ok I think I'm done procrastining... time to hopefully get productive!
Laters guys.. let me know what U all think about my plans and if anyone has any ideas =)
oo BTW where is everyone? I don't know it feels like I havent seen peoples for a long time (minus yesterday which was good). Fishie where art thou?
