i am currently in a history lecture... total war in europe: second world war........ YAWWNNNNNNNN!!!... so blardy boring.. i usually skip the second part of the lecture on thrusdays so i always make a point to go for the frst one on tuesdays.... wat a lousy way to end ur day... i end so late... and with sucha blardy boring subject... well i am here... but i decided to just zone off.. and since its been a while since i last updated my blog i thought i;d do it now.. haha! i've been really busy with my essay proposals and research and that's why no posts laaa... anyway.. didnt feel like blogging.. no pressing issue to tell the world about..

My parents are hereeeeeee in melbourne!!! gerek gituuu! i miss them so much and its really nice to get to see them in person and hold them.... brought them out for dinner last night... sorta like the traditional birthday celebration for my brother who turns (the always overrated) 21.. minus my sister la... sighhh i miss my sister! i MISS U CIK NUR!!!! i miss teasing her and irritating the hell out of her! hahha... and yes fazzie i noe u miss me and all.. so i miss u too la... macam obligated to miss u cos u miss me lah eh.. hahahaa!! ;) u noe i love u fazzie...:)

i want to extend my SEP!!! for another semester... but so many things to consider la.. so leceh... got to fork out more money... got an IPPT to be done before february next year!..gotta consider how it'd affect my CAP, the fact that i'd gotta do 6 modules in each of the last two sems in NUS... and of co si wont get to see my friends and family...... weeeeeeooooowwwwwwwww nesss... but the thing is that i really like it here.. and i wanna noe how it would really feel like to be here much longer... it's already mid semester here.. soon my SEP finish liaozz..so sian like that... haiyah.. so confused lah... i am perpetually confused like that.........................................

speak your mind

speaking your mind in a consorship free domain... thats what i think universities should function as at the very least, yet, from the one that i come from, it is not all too possible, not the way in which melb uni organises rallies and protests against anything under the sun that students are unhappy about... i stood around in awe (from a distance haha) at the recent rally against the war in lebanon, where the US and Israel were accused of being the real terrorists, the latter being the US' work-dog... debates went on freely between students, while the few rally organisers holler their minds out thru the loud hailers on a pedestal. it is all new to me... because we dont see these kinda stuff back home... the day before, i signed a petition that will be sent to the australian govt to do something about the war in lebanon and to take the 'right' side in its endeavour... i was reluctant, apprehensive, but i just thought that i should. afterwards... i was all paranoid... thinking some govt agent might arrest me in th emiddel of the night or something...i felt like i had committed something illegal by participating in a quasi antigovt movement... only now do i get why international students who come to NUS always seem to voice their concern and amazement at the lack of such movements and rallies on campus grounds... to them it is just too non-uni-ish... universities, they say are supposed to be the breeding grounds of movements and protests against perceived injustices within and oustside of the country and yet, NUS, being one of the supposed best universities in the world, unfortunately could not afford such activities on campus grounds... well... thats just the way it is in singapore... being a small nation and all, i guess liberal and radical expressions such as those ocurring elsewhere in the world do need to be curbed...as a result, we just become a kinda apathetic lot... blah blah blah

i am getting tooo political here i think... bluekk... my main point is that it is just so koooll to experience all these! i am not regretting my decision to embark on this SEP programme one bit... seems pretty difficult at first but i am really learning a lot from this program... coming back to NUS next semester would totally be a new experience, only because i have futher developed myself in so many ways... like being more independent, being more confident and to be able to really speak out in tutorials... well took me three weeks to finally really participate in turorials here at melb uni.. cos these australians are jsut so intimidating.. and i'm so self conscious of my accent! but i rellly like the way ppl do their discussions.. they speak their mind freely and really talk with one another on issues... not just to th etutor but reacting and responding to one another's views and opinions... so laidback... i really feel i am gonn abe one of those talkative ppl in tutorials next sem onwards in NUS considering having being in such a foreign setting in melb, it will definitely be less daunting to speak up in a class of fellow singaporeans...

met a couple of ppl from singapore... wonderful lot... kinda drifting away from the OZ blokes tho, cos i dunno.. just like there's really nothing much that we have in common.. so it's more of a hi bye thing with the locals here.. whereas, i feel more at home with the singapore guys... so nice to hear the familiar singapore accent... the laaaasss and the loorrsss and the HAIYAASSS... hahah...

its just a funny feeling... i miss home so much but at the same time it really feels like home here too... i am even considering trying to extend my SEP for another semester.. haha... but well.. we'll see lah... dunno if it'll be too good an idea... a lot of stuff at stake... but well... i am just revelling in the moment ... i am thankful that my time here so far has been nothing but generally rewarding...

just have to mention this again... can;t wait for my parents arrival!!! two more weeekksssssssss......... long time i never see my mum and dad's faceees.......

oh and my cousin's new house... LOVELY... just LOVELYYYYYYYYYYYYY... can't wait to move in with them....further fromm school compared to from the other cousin's place that i'm staying with rite now... but i dont mind it...dont mind it at all... :)

btw... i did cornrows for my bro... cos his hair is really getting way outta control... and i think i did a fine job for a first timer at full head cornrows no??? hahaha.. so all those who wants cornrows.. come to me... i do it free of charge... or maybe u can blanja me lunch or something arrr! hahahha....
