Trade-offs
categories: Personal, Rants, Realisations

I want to churn out many many entries. I wish I didn’t mind as much as before about who reads it or anything, but it’s only being responsible, not to blog about it before running it through in my mind over and over again. I wish I have more substantial stuff I can talk about, but I suppose I stop myself – a lot.

Have I ever told you about the trade-off? For me to write.. reflective, poetic stuff, I need to be immersed in emo songs. Hahha, but it makes me sad and melancholic. So yes, I’ve traded my writing skills for being generally happier most of the time. :D

It is a good trade-off.

I want to meet up with Jess, and hang and talk.
I want to meet up with Mike and have dimsum.
I want to meet up with the backpacker girls, because they are leaving one by one!
I want to hang out with Ens more at home, talking about everything and nothing.
I want to hang out with the guys and see them do the SF4 arcade stick rotation game. (Haha)
I want to hang out with the Enrich girls! They really enrich my life!
I want to hang out with you, to sit and enjoy non-awkward silences, and epic conversations.
I want to bask in your presence, and stay there and enjoy your love.

But what do I need trade for these? Do I even need to do a trade off to do some of these? Some of these can’t be compromised, but school’s on – and I need to pay my sleep debt.

.. I’ll be 50minutes to touchdown in Singapore.

The past few days have been amazing – thank you to all of you whom I’ve met in this past week. It’s been awesome fellowship and chill outs. (:

Australia day was good. But indeed, matching the Aussie laidback lifestyle really, it was a little disconnecting when no one got excited about the fireworks. Hahah. You know how Singapore makes this HUGE fanfare with National Day every year, and we will get all the patriotism in us built up, with the flags everywhere, and the celebrations and the songs?

Nope. Here you fire up the barbie(-que), drink cheap Aussie beer at home, and then make your way to South Perth/Perth foreshores or King’s Park to watch fireworks.

The biggest debacle we had, and how I’ve made this Australia day totally memorable, is posting up tweets saying that the Qantas ad song the kids were singing is the national anthem, WHICH IS NOT TRUE. With all the confusion (EVEN THE AUSSIES WERE CONFUSED OKAY) and commotion on FB and people LOL-ing at us, I have gone on youtube, and figured out what song is what.

Okay here goes:

  • National anthem: Advance Australia Fair
  • Song people think is the national anthem: Waltzing Matilda
  • Song the kids were singing in the Qantas TV ad: I’ll still call Australia home

THERE YOU GO.

And it’s nearly impossible to forget Majulah Singapura is the Singapore national anthem, maybe because Chan Mali Chan is too folksy, and Di Tajong Katong is.. about Tanjong Katong, as with Geylang Sipaku Geyland is about.. Geylang. SEE: Majulah Singapura is about Singapore!

It helps that Majulah Singapura is totally epic drama win kind of song.

OKAY I SHOULD SLEEP. (: Goodnight Perth.

I woke up suddenly, from a horrible dream, finding myself in a foetal position.

Such a strange position to wake up in though, I barely remember getting into it, and I wake up all clenched up and tense. Oh well.

Sun is as it would have been in summer – up and shining brightly, at 7am in the morning.

I suppose I’ll head back to have a few more hours of sleep before I clock up too many waking hours.

Sunday night.

Dear Ens, I’ve not missed you as much as tonight. Wish you were here.

Peace – so easily lost. I would smack myself on the head if knowing that it takes pretty much only one worrying or disturbing thought to shatter the state of peace before. I hate that emotional rollercoaster that comes every month. I only wish to indulge in some chocolate, some BBQ porkribs, some girlfriends chillin’, or just a nice hug.

Because being home alone means I can’t hug Ens on random anymore. :(

.. Summer’s supposed to be fun. And so why am I feeling so sad and lousy?

I should blog.

And I tell you, if only Sakae Sushi or Ichiban Sushi would set up restaurants here in Perth. I would kill for sushi and sashimi buffets to be much more available.

Ens left for SG already, and now the house is just missing the presence of one more. Suppose it helps that the next two days will be packed with school and work stuffs.

I’m not sure why, but somehow I’ve accustomed to celebrating the birthday on any day other than the actual day. Nothing wrong with it really, but just sitting a little funny. I miss having birthdays on my birthday. And doesn’t help that no solid plans are set for the birthday, and if needing any gatherings, planning needs to be done.

Maybe I’ll just stay home and whoever wants to celebrate just bring food over here and I’ll eat with you.

Post-exam you say.

It is an apparent trend that somehow, life after the exams are busier than life during. I suppose it’s just how I’m out more, or sleeping more, or not trying to procrastinate the books.

Anyway, blog plugs (dead blog edition).  These two blogs have been dead for years (literally) but thankfully the internet preserves both good writing and bad. Here goes:

Veritas et Aequitas – one of the first blogs I’ve stumbled upon that I had to comb through the whole archives off. (There isn’t much archives anyway) But it’s like a friend of a friend kinda thing, and his posts are terribly entertaining, and to some extent, honest. If that is truth he’s writing, because I wouldn’t know. But either way, check out his LOTR review, and everything else, because they are really quite the read.

greetings from zurich – I would have asked permission to plug if he replied me online, but he didn’t. But this is the blog of Bryan Bong, who is seriously good at blogging and should start blogging again.. one day. Well he did purpose the blog to keep the peeps back in Perth updated when he was back in SG doing NS. It’s honest, and if you actually know him, his blog totally sounds like him – it’s quite exciting. :D

———————————

Yupp here you go. Ens and I are going to make it for a really early screening of New Moon tomorrow morning, and it’s not that I’m crazed over Twilight anymore, but just because we want to watch a show, and I don’t want to watch This Is It and she’s not totally keen on Time Traveler’s Wife, and New Moon is showing every hour so hopefully it’s not one with too much fan girls shrieking every time Edward Cullen gets on the screen. And with anything, the soundtrack is usually fantastic and so I’ll let you know how it goes when I get back tomorrow. (:

Notes

I have no creativity for blogpost titles.

Anyway, I just thought about it and figured that it’s amazing enough that I should share it – the amount of notes I have for school have massively depleted since Semester 1, 2008.

My first semester, I had a MASSIVE bag of notes. Like the A4 ring files packed for each unit I did. I printed out lecture notes AND readings for like every unit every week. So hardworking, Angel. Semester 2 I think it was just the nutrition subjects that got the ring files (and that’s 2 units).

Semester 1 this year.  I think they are a pile of notes.. somewhere. (I really have no idea where they are.) And now, Semester 2 of 2009. This is all I have – 16 pages of exam revision notes & 3 journicles for one unit, and 5 pages of lectures (and counting) for my paper tomorrow.

Thankfully results haven’t been going along the same trend.

——————————————–

The paper today was alright. I’ve never really knew what to think of papers at the end of it. People always ask “how did the paper go?” and I have absolutely no idea what to answer. So if you like, ask me tomorrow how my paper went and marvel at the impromptu answer I conjure up for you. What I answer will probably not be what your question was asking.

——————————————–

I’m getting a little jittery and restless that the recruiter from the company hasn’t gotten back to me. I don’t know when my induction’s gonna be (since they say that my induction’s gonna be different from the Christmas casual peeps’) and it’s like tons of promises and zero certainty. And I get worried about the small stuff like, what if they call me during my paper tomorrow, or when I’m sleeping in the morning and I’m too tired to hear my phone ring. And what if induction clashes with my MHFA training course next week? And what if they needed more than my passport number to do their police check and so because I can’t pass that I can’t work?

Kk, God has it all covered, fret not Angel. Trust Him. He got you the job, He will get it settled.

Trust, trust, trust. Patience. Peace.

And study.

I’m not studying anymore tonight/today.

At this point I just want to go into the exam hall and finish the papers right now, whether or not I’m prepared. But I will regret this in about 30 seconds of saying it because it is very possible to score decent grades if I studied.

I’ll have an early night (after the all-nighter this morning) and wake up early to revise.

To all who have not finished their papers, all the best. To all who have, good for you. Please go away for the next two days.

Oh, anyone would like to bring dinner to me tomorrow?

I’ve changed the permalinks on the blog (to ‘prettier ones’ as Wordpress Codex put it). You know, Google has the answers to EVERYTHING. (Save “Jesus is THE answer”, and of which the alternate answer is 42.)

I’m lagging terribly behind with my revision, although I can’t call it revision because I haven’t gone for any lectures (and the two I went for.. I was terribly bored and distracted). So yeah, I’m lagging in my studies.

So perhaps I should get back to it.

Oh and happy birthday yesterday to the daddy love and Daryl. :D What a wonderful day, the birthday of two important men in my life. :D
