SQUID~

Adelaide can be a little Zzzzz… at times, and doing assignments for long hours makes you just wanna sit and stare and do nothing. Okay, I’ve been told that I tend to space out a lot, but that’s not the point. Anyway, recently I just picked up fishing and whenever the weather’s good, we’ll head out to Brighton to catch some squid. Yesterday was the most eventful fishing trip. We caught 6 squids in total! Together with 2 squids from a previous catch, we had 8 squids for dinner last night. Haha.

Second Valley

Royal Adelaide Show

I have yummy apple and guava juice

Lots of people were talking about it. So AA and I decided that we would go and check it out. We spent the whole day on our feet walking around the show grounds checking out the rides and many various the stalls selling all sorts of things. We ventured from the stalls selling fruits, plants and what not, to the hall that had stalls selling show bags. They had tents up for food tasting, animal petting, goat shows, pig racing, cowing milking etc. The cows were taller than I am and I was pointing to the cows while telling AA ‘That’s the milk you’ve bought’ since Pura was demonstrating how they get their milk. She winced a little, hahaha.

The four of us made it back home with sore legs because we were walking so much. I slept really well that night, I was so tired at the end of the day. And, and, and… we’re going to attempt to fly the kite that we got at the show… one day. Haha. Not sure when that day will come though.

Hee.

(:

Thank you. I had an awesome time today.

:D

Pity we didn’t get any crabs, maybe next time.

I need…

Paper fasteners or treasury tags. I wished they had a wider variety of stationary here. People here need to see how Popular bookstore is like. And Popular isn’t even a shop that specialises in stationary, and their stationary collection would probably beat the collection of stationary they have here at their news agent, hands down.

Yes, I have a thing for stationary shopping.

And yes, I’m attempting to file my lecture notes and stuff in a bid to be ‘neat and organised‘.

The second semester has begun!

Orientation week just went by like that, and the first week of classes just ended. It was a busy a week for me and I’m exhausted.

The glasses scream NERD

Here’s a picture of me in nerdy glasses so that you’ll think that I’ve been a really diligent student (which I really am, honest!).

Now, I’ve got to go find myself some food.

South Australia, heaps good

JT and her Ant friend came to visit! It’s heaps exciting as they came armed with Krispy Kreme donuts as well as stuff from Singapore that I got my parents to pass to JT.

Yummy stuff (I meant the donuts)

Frustration is moving out

MCS is moving out! WOOHOO! And he mentioned that someone new is moving in to replace him. I hope the new housemate is a better one. I wonder who it is. Exciting stuff!

Yums

Hills and I made dinner together last night. I made baked chicken, and she made garlic mashed potatoes and veggies. It was yummy. Like, proper food at long last! I didn’t bother to cook much during the exams. Heh.

Oh, oh. And I managed to make the breast meat taste not dry. Which is the reason why I prefer the chicken thigh. Hee.

Dinner

Hills baked a carrot cake too. And it tastes awesome, I absolutely love the icing the most. Can’t wait for her to make those lemon slices again too. Yummy.

Time to catch up on all that sleep I’ve missed out on

Exams are over!

I was so excited last night that today’s the last day of exams for me, I couldn’t concentrate on studying! I was so happy. It may be only three papers, but the stress levels were as though I was back doing my IB again. I felt so scared and unprepared. Now, I’m just hoping that I’ll do okay and hopefully pass everything. Eeks.

So, now I have the time to get a life again! YAY! Updates!

Received a parcel from the parents! It took so long to get to me. Mail here takes forever to get to me. Sigh. But to get a parcel is so exciting! I love receiving parcels. So if you’re free and have nothing better to do, send me a parcel! Or even mail like a postcard would make my day!

Parcel from Singapore!

Sweet as…

Hills and I found out yesterday that AM was so worried about us being pushed around by MCS that he emailed Janet (she’s the Associate Dean of where I stay) about it. And because he can’t talk (the poor guy is down with glandular fever) he got his dad to call her too. Like awwww… that was so sweet of him. See, why can’t all housemates be that sweet. Tsk.

Anyway, I stayed up studying last night and went to bed really exhausted and it was about 2am. All these time MCS was watching the TV out in the common area. At 2am, just when I decided to head to bed, he decides to return to his room and started to turn up his music. Tired as I am and having to sit for an exam the next day, all I wanted was a good night’s rest. So, I got up, knocked on his door with the intention of asking him to turn his music down.

So I knocked.

No answer.

Knocked again.

Still no answer, and by this time Hills was out from her room too, obviously bothered by the music.

Knock again.

No answer but music was turned down.

So the both of us headed back into our rooms. But low-and-behold. MCS started walking in and out of his room, slamming his room door. This time, it sounded like he literally stood there, and pushed the door close as hard as he can. Seriously, I’m pretty sure our neighbours upstairs could hear him. And he did it multiple times. Like WHATksjdaksjdierjwlksan?!?! I could have made a noise complain about his loud music but I was trying to be nice by telling him to turn it down instead. ARGH. After slamming the door, he decides to sit in his room coughing (artificially) as loud as he can. What the hell is wrong with this guy?! He started walking in and out of the room into the common area, I was mentally preparing myself to wake up to see my stuff out there smashed or destroyed in someway.

And why would a thought like that pop up in my head? Because the day before he watered Hills’ fern with salt water because she snapped back at him. The poor fern is dying. And she had to go get it re-potted again. LIKE SERIOUSLY, how mature is that? Everyone knows how much she likes her ferns. Tsk.

Anyway, I’m going to speak to Janet about this, and everything else that happened before this, tomorrow afternoon . Last night was… argh.
