Exams!

Its the exam period but I am finding it increasingly difficult to get down to do some studying. Why must it be so hard... Well since I should not be blogging in the first place, let me leave you with a nice song lyrics....

Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own - U2

Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I...that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me...

Where are we now?
I've still got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Till the next time...

Back?

Well, after a long saga and going MIA for so long, here I am again blogging. I just don't really know why. Its 3am over here as opposed to the time stamp, but that's just because between then and now, my location has abruptly been changed.

For those of you who don't know because a) You never talk to me anymore or b) For some reason I don't talk to you anymore or c) Just somehow lost contact with, I am now in Sydney. At not much choice of my own, but how would I give up people giving me money to study in a foreign land? It's not really that much, and I will more or less spend most of it. But to gain the experience of living in a bum country and doing it more or less subsidised is a great opportunity.

For those of you city folk that think that services work too slow and there is too much red tape obviously have not lived here. Places here close on the dot if not earlier, and I have yet to see a local work overtime or out of their scope of work. Hell, the supermarket closes on public holidays.

So what is the bum life like? I still have no idea. Perhaps its because students don't get the bum life. Not this one at least. I'm off to snooze land. Till the next time.

Beginning of Exile

Well, its been a long time, but school has finally begun. Although my classes don't start till Mon, there is definately no shortage of things to do.

1st day stepping into school I already have a group project. A group project with people I have never met, seeing them for the first time and having to come out with a project within the week. It has been a refreshing experience. I can say that this way of doing an orientation is certainly different, and I've got to know more people this way rather than the usual overnight with water bombs and odd games.

So far the impression of the school is that the whole place is friendly, and with the small cohort for this intake, it shouldn't take long to get to know most of the people in school. Even the staff that I've spoken to casually, remember your face if not your name, and say hi when they pass you. I remember doing that in poly, the lecturer looked at me as if I had just cursed him and his entire family. Aussie school, Aussie style i guess. Which isn't a bad thing, I think I might actually do better than usual here. Haha... *crosses fingers*

But with classes going to start next week, it also comes the time for me to go into reclusive exile. Which probably will mean that I will be online less, and if I'm online, I won't be talking much. But if you need someone to talk to you can always drop me a msg, but don't take it to heart if I don't reply as quick if at all. Sem break is only in July, so I will emerge only then. I'm also gonna limit my outings to probably once a week, tentatively Sat. Priority will go to Le Ting for now so tell me early.

Who is Le Ting? If you really wanna know, then come find me.

Till July perhaps? Ciao.
