Before you ask, yes - this is another procrastination post.

I can’t help it. It just doesn’t feel right finishing up a paper without at least SOME procrastination no matter how close to the deadline I am. But its all good as long as its done right? :D

Pictures before I start ranting about my peeve of the day:

Went for an AFL game sponsored by the Uni a couple of Sunday’s back. Adelaide Crows vs. Western Bulldogs

The AAMI Stadium. Before the game. Before the rain.

Weather was nice initially. And then halfway through when the game was reaching suspense, it started raining heavily. And i can assure you, its already VERY cold at the AAMI stadium (it IS still winter after all…)  And it just gets worse when you’re wet shivering against the rather strong winds. The game was worth it though :)

A very blurry picture: Kel Zoe, Me, Derrick at our seats. before game. and before rain.

.

At The Shed (aka cafeteria-like place where people go to celebrate?)
Diane, Tania, Sherry. After game. After rain.

I still don’t understand how people can’t take proper pictures using a normal digital camera set on auto mode. You kinda just have to focus and snap. Meh. -.-

Freezing cold day, but still an eye opening experience. I guess i do sort of understand whats the obsession with footy over here is all about now. I think I might even be a little hooked to it now. Haha. Go Crows!!!

———-

(feel free to skip this part)

Was reading an update from an acquaintance of mine about how unfair it is for her when her mum decides to (finally!) take some control and made some decisions about her life - especially regarding her education. No more running hogshod all over town staying out all night every single day with no word for her mum waiting at home waiting for news. Playing the minx yet going all innocent when it suited (on second thought, this describes most, myself included. lol). Failing miserably at her studies, daydreaming and deciding rash decisions based on her whim. Not that she could afford it. Gradually corrupting herself, yet insisting that she’s smarter than that. Yeah right.

Don’t get me wrong. I love her to bits. Well not in that way obviously, but more like a sister. Although if its my sister for real, it wouldn’t have gone so far. Its been several days now since then and day after day, i see posts and updates whining and asking for sympathy, to the extent of asking if anyone would house her if she was to leave home. I guess that last update made me snap.

Love or no love, i can’t help but feel that she is one selfish whiny little brat. A year back, she was ranting about others, doling out advice on how one should conduct themselves in public. Loudly blasting them when she disapproves. Even going so far as to slightly backstab a mutual friend when she felt she was losing attention. I’ve kept my silence so far, but knowing all these, I can’t help but wonder what she said behind MY back. And somehow, you just knew that chances of it being something flattering is very slim.

Perhaps i’m just disappointed. I don’t know. Sometimes when you’ve known someone for 4 years, you’d hope that they’ll turn out okay. And watching her go down this path…

And yes, other than the fact that her mum phoned me and begged requested that i talk to her, its probably none of my concern. I’m just being nosy aren’t i?

———-

Rantings aside, its been one hell of a fortnight. What with the graduations, reunions and then more assignments. Its unusually quiet now with most of the noisiest people gone and less new people coming this way. I miss them, its true. Although its funny how all the nice people are gone and the annoying ones stayed back to further their studies. Probably cause the know they’d need more qualifications for their future employers to tolerate them. Meh.

I think I’m severely lacking sleep. My metabolism rates has gone down and i’m beginning to utterly believe that I’m starting to grow fat. And the increasing amount of chocolate needed to keep me happy is definitely a good indicator on that score. Skin is hopelessly pale as usual and my eyebags are beyond saving. I blame assignments and any drama involving him.

Please please share any remedies you know to get rid of dark eye circles??

sometimes I wonder, where the key would lead me..

.

Slowly one by one it all falls apart, not unlike a chain of domino blocks toppling. Its disconcerting when you somehow you’re viewing the worsening situation with alarming clarity from afar with a cynical mind. It’s like a voice in your head telling you not to be stupid, yet the urge is there to tempt fate again and again while desperately grasping on to what you hoped was solid.

You smile and laugh till your jaw threatens to unhinge.
You tease and tempt like you’ve not a care in the world.
You sulk and pout, pretending innocence to the drama that unfolds.
You put on your actor’s makeup and go on stage day after day.

Yet knowingly, as you rush headlong into the mire, a recollection of thoughts originally thought buried, resurfaces… and THAT is when you feel the pain you thought you’ve safely forgotten.

And the worse part is knowing deep inside that there’s nothing you can do about it now.

.

And no, i’ve not gone mad. Yet.

.

I don’t know whats gotten into me. Its 5.45am here and i’m still up wide awake writing emo shit. Bah! someone please knock some sense into me!

oh hai. i ish back. again.

and yes, its assignment time. again. (when else would i pick up my lazy butt  out of my nice warm bed to come here and post more nonsense?) oh yes, and i’m in a deep pickle seeing as i’m still stuck where i was 4 days ago with no hope of redemption by morning. oh woe!

i’ve done everything - from facebook stalking, to replying long-delayed emails, to giving myself a haircut.  The excuse to be busy is much utilised though, especially due to a recent spate of high drama-ness. One brick falls and the whole wall comes tumbling after. Murphy’s Law indeed.

One thing i realised after stalking facebook pictures is that everyone else seems to be getting thinner and thinner. and i’m growing chubbier by the day. fml. Did I miss something? How can i not get the memo??? Perhaps its time i put myself on diet… not that history presented a very convincing support to the case. Haha i need more discipline, thats for sure. And better time management. And less procrastination. *ahem*

A random picture from i-don’t-know-when while testing out my new baby <3

Introducing New Housemate, Resident Housemate, my Doppelganger and Ex-Housemate.
Now we can start producing the first season of Desperate Housemates. wtf.

Its amazing how I’m motivated to do the things I would ordinarily not do when I  have something that I should do. And then self-obsessing with the guilt that consumes while I’m doing something that I should not be doing because there is something else that i have to do. But knowing that I have to do that something which I have not been doing eventually anyways kinda puts me into more of a mood to do other things that has nothing to do with that something i’ve got to do. Darn.

So here’s more of something I should not be doing, but yet i’m doing to fulfill my perverse pleasure of being stressed when that something is finally due:

Kudos to the amazingly (and grossly) limber tofu hand model, Snowy. Don’t ask.
You’d understand if you knew her.

Munching on Milo cereal is a baaaaaad way of staying up. Its overly addictive and no better than the packet of strawberry sour straps i have next too me. Or the sweet chilli and sour cream Doritos. Or the bar of Lindt chocolate on the top shelf. Oops.

(…and i wonder why i keep getting fatter *sigh*)

On the bright side (if there is a bright side to staying up late supposedly to work, but end up doing everything but!) at least I think i’m starting to deal with the recent scar to my heart. No worries as my ever resourceful (but lazy) internal workers are doing their very best to patch up the gaping hole. Probably fill it with plaster of paris or something. After all, it wouldn’t do to make it so hard to penetrate the armor, would it? :)

If you’ve managed to keep up with my ramblings so far, good for you! (although i’ll still be wondering why you’d want to). If you haven’t, well, at least you’re reading this! :D

Things have not been going great. Far from it in fact. And I myself am to blame. Probably.

There was another argument. Started with something trivial, as always. It seemed just so great a while back. And suddenly there’s a crack. No, more like a fissure, widening into a canyon. How did things spin out of control so quickly? Why is it so difficult?

I’m afraid. So very.

Serves me right for dreaming and wishing for things I knew were impossible. It’s time to let go of the childish fantasies of a kid and understand that I finally am, 21.

I’m an utter fool aren’t I?

Slowly day by day
I held my tears at bay
Only to weep when night I lay

Slowly day by day
I watched the sunrise, sunset
and I felt you drifting away

Slowly day by day
silence greets
as our gazes meet

Slowly day by day
I gave up hope
while straining to cope

Slowly day by day
I’ll let you fly
before April turns to May

Oh hai, I am back!!!!!

Back in Adelaide that is, and therefore there is nothing else to do but to update in this sad little town. Not that the lovable housemates aren’t fun - I so totally heart them to bits! - but they drive me totally nuts with all the kawaii Japanese talk and and being frustratingly lame. And yes, they can walk. Miraculous ain’t it?  

Weather is turning cold, guess its time to bring out those winter coats. Yays! Eat that you ppl in Malaysia! MUAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA although its not a good thing if its too nice to sleep in… not that I’ve missed classes or anything *cough*. But lets get back to the main point…. it’s nice and cool!!! :D

Random picture, just because I have nothing else to upload. Met them on Rundle Mall making rounds. Not quite sure what they’re promoting but they looked cool anyways!

Random, according to Snowy:

“What’s the difference between jumping down from the 2nd floor and the 20th floor?”
“Er… you die from the 20th floor, but you will cacat from the 2nd floor?”
“Nope. When you jump from the 2nd floor, you go AAAHHH *dunk*. And when you jump from the 20th floor, you go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH*dunk*”

*please laugh kthxbye*

.

ps. I finally bought my journal!! Its fate that we fell in love at first sight. I guess nothing beats good ol’ pen and paper <3

pps. I think if forgot how to blog. Seeing as how totally pointless this post is. :P
