i get to breathe, you can't take that from me

since the last time i blogged, i have officially become a student of melbourne university. yessah. hhaha. well, i haven't collected my student card since they refused to use my identity card as identification. which i don't really understand. but never mind, school is so damn near. plus i need to go there tomorrow to check some stuff. so yes, i will get my student card tomorrow and i'll take a photo of it. just for fun. haha.

enrolment was on thursday. academic advice day they called it. basically it was all the course talks and international student briefings which were pretty retarded. telling us not to jaywalk and overload the power sockets. like, ok. the important part of the day was that i got to enrol. whee. and on friday, it was an appointment with the student advisor to help with getting your modules and all. my appointment was at 1030am and they made me wait till 1130. irritants. but it was a good one hour wait, made a new friend. yay. and a potential house mate at that. yes, must start looking for house mates. hur hur. so yes, now i have 2 new friends. my life is complete. totally.

so here are the subjects i'll be taking this year.

1. Australian Wildlife Biology

2. Animal Structure and Function

3. Geomorphology

4. Darwinism

5. Ecology

6. Comparative Animal Physiology

7. Dangerous Earth

8. Drugs that shape the Society

yes. sounds exciting right. haha. still not too sure about Darwinism, Dangerous Earth and Drugs that shape the Society. Darwinism and Drugs are breadth subjects. wanted to take some history-ish subject called Witches and Witch Hunting in Europe. doesn't that sound way more exciting. haha. ahwell. guess i'll think about it again for the next few days or something. as for my cores, they're pretty much fixed. there's only so many cores for me to take see. not that i'm complaining. i'm loving my cores. they all sound so interesting. as compared to what i would have been taking if i were still in nus. awesomeness.

it has been 2 weeks without how i met your mother. life i tragic. they won't return for another week. which is even more tragic. zzzzz. so in the meantime, i've been filling in my time by watching other shows. i've finished 30 rock and now i'm planning to finish sex and the city within the next few days. i already finished 2 seasons yesterday. i'm crazy. i know.

anyway, while i was watching satc, i noticed there was something wrong with this frame:

do you see it, do you see it! i thought it was hilarious. and very very bad.

haha. i wonder if the crew ever noticed that. yea, i've got nothing better to do, i know. but just thought it was pretty interesting.

a few days back i decided i wanted to eat wantons. so i went to buy wanton skin from the asian grocer. and i made wantons. beef wantons to be exact. yes, i still can't tell minced beef and pork apart. shit. made it in tom yum soup. hahah. ridiculous combination i know, but i thought it'd be ok. it wasn't very ok. and mostly due to the tom yum paste? it was really not nice. bah. must remember the brand and never buy it again. anyway, i thought i'd get creative with the wantons. haha.

hahaha. i'm a terrible wanton wrapper. or whatever. they didn't stick very well and all the minced beef just fell out. it was like eating wanton skin only. which wasn't that bad. initially. but yea.

i'm having fresh strawberries and strawberry yoghurt for lunch. haha. healthy or what. but the fresh strawberries are super sour. yuck. i must try a different store next time. will prolly have to go grocery shopping soon. running out of vegetables. zzzz. i really should get one of those market trolleys. so must easier. and i can just walk to vic market. save money on transport. howells.

made bread and butter pudding on friday. at aggy's place. soo nice. i love it. haha. jamie oliver rocks.

which reminds me. i think i can't go for jamie oliver anymore. zzz. should i? i still have enough money. but yea. hmmm. worried about travelling alone at night. bah.

oh and i bought the pants from forever new! they were too gorgeous to resist. hahaha. here's the next thing i'm planning to buy. hahahah.

super cute right! they're at 40bucks, which i think is a pretty reasonable price. plus postage of 18bucks which is quite a sucker but still reasonable priced in my opinion. super cute. i love it. can't decide which pattern though. loads more over here:

alrighty then. i think that's it for today. i shall go back to watching satc. till the next time then.

holding your scarred heart in hand

went to watch AUSTRALIAN OPEN yesterday. omggggggggg. it was a FEDERER match. double omgggggggg. and he WON. OH AM GEE, in the words of saffy. yes. it was awesomest. even though we were in the freaking last row. tsk. but it wasn't that bad actually. sure, you can't see the pores on his faces and all. but you can still see his face. pretty much. and i didn't have to squint to see the court, as i thought i might have to. yea, so it was not bad. and the atmosphere was awesome, of course. though it got really annoying when the aussie fanatics kept cheering. super super annoying. but i suppose they are entitled to their cheering and all. either way round, federer won so yes. he only lost one service game. which was awesome shits. and i must admit that when hewitt won that service game, it was quite an exciting moment. like FINALLY, kind of moment. though i was like, crap federer! but it was all fine in the end. federer did his magic, as usual, and did not disappoint. thank you, federer. :)

i shall post up some photos i managed to take yesterday. yes, they're not exactly very awesome. i was in the last row ok. and my lenses aren't exactly THAT awesome. so ya.

my tennis hero, roger federer, world number one.

federer in action.

yes, they're minute, i know. but ahwell. how else do i fit the whole court into one frame.

so yep. it was an awesome night. watched federer win in STRAIGHT sets, thank you very nice. unfortunately, was unable to find him on the practice courts to stalk him. don't suppose they stay out on practice courts till after 5pm. boo. didn't get myself a souvenir, yet. the souvenirs are crazy expensive! the jumbo wilson ball cost a freaking 35 bucks. are you crazy! think i'll go buy the poster. at least that's just 10 bucks. waaaaaay more affordable than anything else. yes, a poster to hide the dirty marks on my stupid wall.

aussie open has made me a couch potato. we were SUPPOSED to go to chapel today, again. oh yes, we didn't go on sunday because we woke up at prolly 1 or 2. usual rising time most days. so anyway, SUPPOSED to wake up at 11am to watch the henin match. but duh, obviously i didn't. woke up at 1, no 2, for goodness sake. was awaken 3 times by super loud and super scary sounding fighter planes, or something. it was damn scary i swear! i mean, you're all woozy and half asleep and you hear these really loud fighter planes sounding like they're flying RIGHT OUTSIDE your window. it totally sounds like world war three i swear! of course, after thinking about it for awhile, you then realise it's aussie day and they're prolly have parades or exhibitions or whatever and you go back to sleep. but of course, to be awaken by it 2 more times. but ahwell. oh i've totally digressed. so yes, i'm now a couch potato. though i have been for quite awhile now. since i left nus to be exact. but seriously. i think this is the longest i've sat on the sofa watching tv. just keep watching one match after another, one day after another. not that i'm complaining of course. but i do feel kind of bored. would like to go out one of these days. but unfortunately, all the exciting matches are coming up. what with quarter finals starting today. deng deng deng. fingers crossed for the awesomest federer of course. ALL THE WAY!

on the bright side. tsonga is through to the quarters as well! he plays djokovic next. hmmmmm. i really can't decide who to support. but i think, slightly leaning to the tsonga camp. he's so cute! and really funny when he plays. what's not to love. of course, djokovic is prety hansum too. with a really cool name at that. hahha. but yea. i think i'll go for tsonga.

and there's the henin vs zheng jie semis. excitings! as much as i want to support my fellow race-person, whatever the hell that means, i'm definitely supporting henin. comeback queen all the way yo! i hope she wins the aussie open. henin and federer. ooh, dream come through.

to continue with the tennis talk, went from one blog to this tumblrs thingy. quite cool. it's basically a blog but mostly filled with photos. and with the same concept of twitter where you can retweet. i suppose they call it retumblr. saw this photo and just thought it was amazingly hilarious.

hahahahhahahhahahahhaha.

as much as i love federer and want him to BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF nadal and remain the greatest of all time EVER, i must admit that nadal is a pretty hilarious and cute personality. plus he is a good player. damn you nadal. his facial expressions are often amazingly hilarious and his obsessive complusive arrangement of his evian bottles is the most hilraious thing ever.

http://vamosrafa.tumblr.com

here, go have fun looking at all of nadal's retarded facial expressions.

and i found another one with pictures of federer&nadal. and it's kind of gay-centric, bromance-centric tumblr. but just as hilarious.

http://fuckyeahfedal.tumblr.com/

although i do hate the photos of federer crying at aussie open 2009. it's depressing to watch him cry like that. but yes, he bounced back and that's what's important.

found this photo and thought it was amazingness. he looks like his flying! plus the i-don't-care look on his face. ya man.

and THIS! amazing and hilarious all at the same time. i hope he got the ball. and recovered for the next point after. i can't really remember.

ok. enough with tennis. according to twitter and the How I Met Your Mother production team, the show will be back for a sixth season! awesome! it's going to be "legend-wait for it!-dary!" ohmygodd. i cannot wait. yes, we can all live with a weekly dose of neil patrick harris in our lives. wheeeeeeeeee!

Girls Vs. Suits. hahahahhaha.

apparently they were on playboy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

"ted, SUIT UP!"

and of course,

and i shall leave you with a quote from my favouritest (totally) Barney Stinson played by the just as awesome Neil Patrick Harris.

"It's going to be lengen- wait for it and i hope you're not lactose-intolerant cause the second half of that word is- dairy!"
