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.

Daddy update

Parents are back in Singapore for my dad’s medical checkup. And unfortunately there is tumor growth (again) and my parents have scheduled my dad for his 4th brain surgery. Thankfully, according to what my mum told me, the growth is only on the surface (what surface? I have no idea). I think his surgery is on 1st Oct, again I’m not sure whether is it the 1st or the 10th because my mother typed the date out in her email as ‘1Oct’, so it’s like, did she think the ‘O‘ was a zero or what, while looking at her screen. But I shall assume my mother isn’t that blur and that she meant 1st and only forgot to tap the spacebar between the one and the ‘O‘. So anyway, his doctor is concerned with healing of the wound and stuff because this is after all his fourth surgery.

At the moment, the plan is that my parents will return to Shanghai after my dad’s surgery and followup, which would mean that they’ll be in Singapore for about a month or so. We’ll see how things go.

Thanks for all the prayers.

Ohmm…

Nothing much has been happening. And I’ve been feeling pretty restless these few days for some odd reason I don’t know. And I haven’t been having the motivation to study. All I want to do is just laze about my room right now. Or somewhere, basically, I just want to not do anything. Last night I was just telling AA and TD that ‘It’s only 11pm now?!?!’, time was crawling and I was feeling pretty lethargic (I think that’s the word), to which TD replied ‘That’s bedtime for most people.’. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m part of ‘most people’ because my bedtime is usually at around 1am-2am, that was why I was being all difficult and whiny. I wanted to go melt into my bed but it was too early be already be in bed. If you know what I mean, I don’t even know if I’m making any sense here. All I want to do now is nua somewhere. But yet, I don’t want to. Gah. But yet, I want to, but I feel like I should be doing something while I’m nua-ing away. You know? Okay, maybe you don’t, because I don’t think I’m making any sense right now. My brain isn’t churning out things that make sense at the moment. Pfftt…

…

Sigh.

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.

Because we love road trips

Facebook is being a pain. For some reason, I’m having trouble uploading pictures from my latest trip to Horsham. Currently it only works if I gradually add less than 10 pictures at a time. Which, I would like to add, is painfully tedious given the fact that I have over a hundred photos I would like to put up. Rah.

Anyway, our trip started with me and Hills heading down to the city at 3.30am in the morning. It’s because the day we were suppose to leave is a Sunday and they only have the 5am/6am buses on weekdays, we had to take the late night buses (the public transport system here is stupid). Since we had to leave the house at 3ish, and we usually go to bed at like, 1 or 2ish, we decided that we’ll just stay up watching Supernatural rather than sleep. We reached the city at about 4am, and headed off to the Pancake Kitchen to kill time and grab something to eat. Our bus leaves for Horsham at 7.20am, so yeah, we had heaps of time to kill.

Daddy update

Maybe most of you would have heard about it already. But anyway, my dad has accepted a job offer in Shanghai and he is going back to Shanghai on the 11th of July. And he’ll be back again in September for a checkup.

I’m excited that he is going back to work again! HEHE.

And yes, my mum will be going too.

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!
