15 more hours =D

till the moment I've been waiting for since the start of the school year! I'm ecstatic!

anyways, Verity posted this youtube link on facebook. It's a very very interesting way of telling ppl who OTs are and what we do. Lol. Watch!



Ahh I digressed. Too excited about 3.15pm tomorrow that I can't study. Hahah. I'm going to miss spending late nights at the abacus... weird, but true. Guess I should stop procrastinating and try and study now :)

:D I'll be a free woman the next time I post something :D


ps: Jem's snoring away next to me. He looks sooo comfortable sprawled across 2 chairs. I was gonna take a pic and post it up but my cam's at home and my phone died. Lol. So much for studying.

my 2 minutes break

I thought this was funny.. I caught one of the blue Curtin library staff guys (the geeky asian one) checking his facebook when he was doing his rounds. He just couldn't resist when he found a free computer. Lol.







I feel so lost without my phone and I get weird thoughts popping into my head like I might get assaulted or something and I wouldn't be able to call anyone...







I feel like I'm in Chinatown.. This guy and girl across the partition are talking so loudly and really really fast in viet/thai/canto... they all sound the same to me.

Awesomely brilliant idea!

I have a brilliant beyond brilliant idea that I shouldn't even be thinking about cos that means I won't be able to concentrate on anything else like my studies and that is really really bad considering my exams start in 36 1/2 hours but I can't help it cos it's just so brilliant that the imaginary lightbulb above my head keeps flicking on every few seconds and I so want to tell someone people about it but I know I shouldn't because then we won't stop talking about it, which will make things worse cos then I will be jumping up and down with excitement in my seat in the exam hall in anticipation of the minute I start 3 months of brain inactivity, which is also the moment I've been waiting for since the start of the year, just so I can share my brilliant beyond brilliant idea! EEKS!

Proof that I'm NOT a fob.

I was suppose to be getting another 10 hours of studying in today, but I digressed. This is why. LOL


Credits go to Stuff Asian People Like



Young Asians in America (Australia counts too) come in many forms. Below are the major categories. Most Asians fit into multiple groups. For example, Rice-boys can also be Fobs and many Tabs are Fobulous. The only groups that are never part of another group are the Twinkies and the Asian-Americans. Claim your Fobbiness! When you see your Asian friend, greet them with ‘Wassup Fob!'. And if your Asian friend says something ridiculous, say ‘Fob please!' Of course, when a non-Asian calls you a Fob, that is grounds for a fight. Ahahaha. The categories below are to be taken lightheartedly. Read, recognize and laugh.

What a way to start 2009

The timetable for next semester's units are out. This is how we planned for it to be.

I have to wake up for freakin 8am lectures/tutorials for 3 days! What a chore! I haven't done that since... 2 sems ago (or was it 1). It was ages ago that I can't even remember. Arghhh this sem's not even done and I'm already dreading the next. But I suppose one of it's perks is that we get 2 days off, that is if we register for the classes early before everyone fills up the good slots, leaving us stuck with friday classes (like this sem!). They lied :( They specifically said registration would open at 10am or something and so I believed them. I was still in Lala Land when YH called me up at 8.30am because all the slots we planned for were gone. I'm going to stock up on coffee and stay up all night this time.

.

Oh wait.. Coffee makes  me sleep better.... I'll figure something out.
