(Post started : 24/11/2009)
Home sweet home. Arrived on the 21st of November 10pm. Greeted by my family at the airport after finally getting my luggage. Upon reaching the house and getting down from the car, my brother let Whiskee out of her cage. Naturally, I was a little apprehensive on how she would react to me, but was pleasantly surprised. She didn't bark at me or anything like that. Just sniffed at me a little and she was jumping all over me like she does my parents and brother.
Fast forward a couple days (cause I'm lazy)
It's Kenny's birthday! We had a nice dinner at La Cocina (?) in Taipan. Just the family. But my mum and I did organise a surprise dinner for him on the 27th with his friends. It was easy contacting them. Just sent a couple of them a message on Facebook and asked them to invite the rest. (Ahem Yes I do have my brother's friends on my Facebook) And parents were there to foot the bill. I think (hope) they had fun.
Besides that, went out once cause someone's too busy for me. Nah. Just joking :) Another possible two outings this week. Will let you know how that turns out. Hopefully I won't procrastinate with updating this blog.
OMG it's December already. Where did all that time go?

Hello! Taking a break from packing up my room. It's amazing how much stuff has actually accumulated over the past year. So, I figured it would be a good idea to take some pictures as a keepsake.
Pardon the mess. I am in the middle of packing after all. :)
How I hated that desk light.
Wardrobe :)
Um.. Yea.. Random chair.. And see the much-abused husky?
My bed! :)
Sink sink. The only good thing about Scheps.
Leaving my mark ;)
Hmmm... It was a good year but I don't reckon I'll miss this room much. I'll be back at International House next year. Allocated room for 2010 is N101 aka New/Founders Building 1st Floor. APARTMENT YAY!

Looking back at some of my previous posts, I am absolutely appalled at how I used to speak. I guess I'm just not used to Manglish anymore. Don't get me wrong, I still use it here. Just not to that extent. I remember when I first got here and started classes, it was difficult for me to tune in to whatever the lecturer was saying at the time mainly cause I wasn't used to the Aussie accent yet. But now, I reckon I could mimic the Aussie accent fairly well. Not that I'll try.
In conclusion, the language I used to use to blog in is A-T-R-O-C-I-O-U-S.

Well finally found a nice-looking (I hope) blog skin which I kinda like.
Comments are welcome :)

O-Town - All Or Nothing
I know when he's been on your mind
That distant look is in your eye
I thought with time you'd realize
It's over over
It's not the way I choose to live
And something somewhere's got to give
As sharing this relationship gets older older
You know I'd fight for you
But how I can fight someone who isn't even there
I've had the rest of you now I want the best of you
I dont care if that's not fair
Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom
It's now or never
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
There are times it seems to me
I'm sharing you with memories
I feel it in my heart
But I dont show it show it
And then there's times you look at me
As though I'm all that you can see
Those times I don't believe it's right
I know it, know it
Don't me make me promises
Baby you never did
Know how to keep them well
I've had the rest of you
Now I want the best of you
It's time for show and tell
Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom
It's now or never
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
Cause you
And I
Could lose it all
If you've got no more room
No room
Inside for me in your life
Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
It's now or never
Is it all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom
It's now or never
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom
It's now or never
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all

Currently looking for a new blog skin. Want simple white/pastel. Anyone have any or care to make one for me? :)

It's funny how when you listen to a certain song, and actually pay attention to the lyrics, it seems to describe your life as it is at that particular point in time. They jump out at you from the depths of the song. And then suddenly every song is somehow about you. Whether its the verse, the chorus, the bridge, you can always find something that relates to you. Or it might just be a case of selective hearing.
Currently listening to Truly Madly Deeply by Cascada (original by Savage Garden)
So what are you listening to? :)

This is killing me. I can't concentrate. I can't do anything with something hanging over my head.
Sleep.
Sleep is the only time I truly stop thinking.
You won't accept it. You say it's not me. As if. But I'll believe it if you want me to.
Issues? Everyone has them. Are you sorting them out? Are you not? If not, where does that leave me?
Us?
You don't need me. You have loads to keep you occupied right?
You never believe the things I say. I know I don't say much. But the little things I do say sometimes. Casually brushed aside.
Maybe its because of your own preconceptions.
Maybe you don't want to believe it.
Maybe you think its impossible.
Whatever.
It's not fair. What's that few minutes compared to the few hours I spent waiting.
Always waiting...
I know that's beside the point now but still...
You're allowed to but when I do it, I'm punished?
What WE are, is always subject to you.
YOU.
You come and go as you please.
Do you not see that?
Sometimes I feel like I don't know what you want. What you expect me to be like.
I let you do what you want. I don't want to hold you back.
Even if I don't like it sometimes, I say nothing.
You take that as me not caring. Not giving a damn.
I'm letting you know now, you're wrong.
WRONG.
If I seem angry here, I apologise. I'm really not.

Almost Here
by Delta Goodrem (feat. Brian McFadden)
Did I hear you right?
'cause I thought you said,
Let's think it over
You have been my life
And I never planned
Growing old without you
Shadows bleeding through the light
Where the love once shined so bright
Came without a reason
Don't let go on us tonight
Love's not always black and white
Haven't I always loved you?
But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'cause your only almost here
I would change the world
If I had a chance
Oh won't you let me
Treat me like a child
Throw your arms around me
Oh please protect me
Bruised and battered by your words
Dazed and shattered now it hurts
Haven't I always loved you
But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'cause your only almost here
Bruised and battered by your words
Dazed and shattered now it hurts
Haven't I always loved you
But when I need you
You're almost here
Well I never knew how far behind I'd left you
And when I hold you your almost here
Well I'm sorry that I took our love for granted
And now I'm with you I'm close to tears
'cause I know I'm almost here
Only almost here
