Ok, quick update.
I'm on my second week of holidays already, and its amazing how time really passes without us realizing it. So far, I've gone to the beach with val, esther, kiki; (but it was too cold and there wasn't much sun). watched a couple of movies; pigged out; watched k drama (wats new), and WORKED.
My gosh, my legs have never felt so tired b4. I stood up for 7 hrs selling showbags at the royal melb show ytd. I really couldn't feel my legs at the end of the day. Sis had it bad too. She was the fairy floss girl, and always ends up with cotton candy on her face, hair and clothes at the end of the day. But it was fun. I have pictures of her in pink, but would prob get slaughtered if i posted them here. The Royal Melb show is one HUGE carnival. It'll be really fun if kcc or our family went there together. There are tons of rides, food, games and all sorts of carnival things to buy.
I've never been so busy b4. Like Laura said, this semester passed by so quickly coz we worked. So the leisure time that we squeeze out will solely be for ourselves, we barely have enough time to do other things beside study and work. Oh well, I wouldn't complain that the end of the year is soon approaching. It hasn't been that bad a year. but i'm dreading the exams!
Heard from Cherlyn that the kcc bbq was fun. too bad I couldn't join u guys, but glad u all had such great fun!
Today's the 24th of sept. I'll be on the plane home in 2 months time :)
~I really need to catch up on school work.

I learnt my lesson and brought my camera to work with me on Tues, but yea, I didnt see them. I think last Sunday was just a once in a million chance. But anw, I had fun during work. We had tons of argentina and aus fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (about 70,000+), and it was just so cool to be there for us soccer fanatics. Me and my co-workers were just staring at the TV whenever we had the chance, and I ran off after work to catch the last 10 min of the match live. My sis and I were soo excited. but sadly, we didnt have a chance to take a pic with the players on the field.
And, look at our new found friends! Our neighbours' dogs - A jack russell and a pomeranian pup. They're just sooo adorable. Trying to get into our house in the morning, running around in our backyard and trying to get our attention. I was almost late for lecture that day coz I was playing with them.
I'm sooo hooked on so u think you can dance. Its addictive.
And one more day till my 2 week spring break, but I'm kinda in a holiday mood already. But I have to catch up on school work and work at the Royal Melbourne Show, so its not much of a holiday anw. Hope everyone's doing well. missing ya all. (:
My best friend's so cute. She just freaked out when she thought Hu Shing was coming over at the end of the year. but NO! 24th nov. set. no one can change anything! :)

I feel loved. Thanks for everyone's concern. Cherlyn, who sent me a long email coz my phone couldnt work. (its working now!), the ever so sweet bee deer, kleon loh, jie min, kb, wan jie leandra etc. thanks ya all. I'm fine, I really am. Its just that last wk really wasn't a v gd week. I guess everyone has their 'down days', especially so for us international students, who have so much responsibility and so many things to worry about.
I am still tired, worked both days on sat n sun, and my legs are kinda sore now.
But on a brighter note. U'll never guess who i saw on the streets of Melbourne this afternoon! (ok, this is the point where i start rambling).
I saw like half of the ARGENTINIAN FOOTBALL SQUAD!!! they were outside flinders station. I was kinda grumpy coz my shift got pushed forward, and I had to drag myself up when sis and housemate were still aslp. but all of a sudden I found myself staring at this guy who seemed strangely familiar. Then suddenly it hit me. JAVIER MASCHERANO! the oh-so-great liverpool midfielder and argentina player. and next to him was carlos tevez who just joined man utd. At that point, all that went through my mind was 'omg omg omg'. I literally stood there and stared, amazed, and i couldnt think! and I didnt have a camera or my camera phone with me damn it! They were all in their adidas light blue track suits and they were HUGE. like seriously. I think I only reached mascherano's ribs. Even tevez, who looks so short on TV was actually big. and mascherano is cute in real life, believe me. I cant imagine how cute gerrard or torres must be in reall life then :).
So anw I started calling my sis (who had the misfortune of starting work one hr later. haha), and kiki. and messaging my bro and football fanatics. And believe me, i was still hyperventilating after like 15 min. I thought I was lucky enough to be working on the day Argentina will be playing Aus in a friendly match this tues. I was planning to sneak out to catch a glimpse of the game and the players running ard on the field. but this is SOOO much better. they were just inches away from me, and I was staring straight into their faces! argh. thinking back, i shd have gone up to shake mascherano's hand. I feel like kicking myself now.
Ok I think I'm about done rambling. This is like one of the most exciting things that has happened to me in Melbourne. Meeting a football star from my beloved club. its a dream come true. Now I cant imagine how I'll be like when i see my steven gerrard in person. I think I'll faint on the spot.
Alrite, I'm off to do some work that couldnt be done coz i had to work. Thank god George cancelled my 7am driving lesson tmr. But there's one on Tues. He's out to make me suffer. I've gotta wake up at like 6+ for the first time since forever.

I'm so tired I'm so tired I'm soooo tired. Been reaching home at so late the past few nights. I've been so damn busy with everything its hard to find some time to breathe. I dun even wanna go into details.
And my stupid singapore phone is not working. I think its M1's fault. I havent been receiving messages though ppl said they sent me. So I have absolutely zero contact with Singapore thru my mobile. and I dunno wats gg on. sorry to those who sent me an sms but didn't get a reply, or if i mysteriously sent some sms that doesnt seem to make sense. I hope it'll be ok tmr. I'm so upset.
Physics test tmr and I'm so dead. Dun ask me why. ok, I'm sounding kinda incoherent.
~I feel suffocated. just a little. but its nobody's fault.
