It has obviously been a very long while since I last blogged. I didn't do this on purpose, I swear.
Life has been pretty hectic since the commencement of my university life.
And in case you don't know yet, I took on a part time job, which totally ate away the free hours I have left.
But oh well, so is life.

This post is pretty much going to be about my first semester here in Melbourne University.
4 subjects and failing. LOL. I'm just joking. I'm doing fine for all my subjects, but not so for law. :(
I hate you, law. You tricked me into thinking you were easy and then PHAM! you whacked a 'B' right in my face. 

We only have 12 weeks of classes/lectures and we're already in the final week. Finals is in 2 weeks and I have yet to study.
It still feels as though I've just landed in Melbourne only last week.
Come to think of it, it has already been 3 months and 10 days to be exact.
Ah well, time flies in a blink of an eye.

LALALALALALA. What else can I write about? Can I not write about school? :/

I MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT IT INTO WORDS. :(

When I go back, we need to chill together. I don't care. We can chill at KT1 like how we used to. :)
Then we can scout for good food, like how we used to. Road race, like how you all used to. Sleepovers, party and whatever.
I'M SERIOUS. D: 

Oh, and I miss my boyfriend so much too. :( 

I am flying off in less than two weeks and I have so many things I want to do and eat. D:

Of course, food is more important. I love food. How could I live without you? D:

LIST OF FOOD TO EAT BEFORE I'M GONE

1. My grandmother's crabs
2. Bah kut teh
3. Tomyum soup from my favourite restaurant
4. Green wall (It's actually a dai chao place)
5. LALA

Wait, I guess that's it? :D

Oh, just last friday, I hobo-ed with the hobos at Mist. It's probably our last outing in a long time.

Anyhow, thank you ADRIAN WONG JHUN HOE for the departure gift. :D

NICOLE LIM, WAN HOU YIN, ALEX KWOK AND ADRIAN WONG, I sayang you all to the max. :D

No, I don't sayang you CHONG EEVERN coz you always bail on us. D:

Just joking. I know you're having your pilot test or something today. I wish to hear good news from you. :D

Yeap, so University of Melbourne has sent me an unconditional offer letter and I have accepted it. All the basic procedures are done, now what's left is to pack my 30kg luggage before my flight on the 13th of February. And the good news is, I have a companion on the plane. :) Wern Cher is flying with me and she booked the seat next to mine. YAY! At least I'm not alone, not till we go our separate ways at the airport in Melbourne. Owh, I'll handle that when I get there. For now, I will treasure all the things and people I love. Things do change, so do people. I am not hoping that things will be the same when I come back again, so what I have now, will forever be imprinted in my mind.

Well, I made a list of the things that I will miss oh-so-dearly when I'm gone.

Here it is:

1. The late nights with the awesome people; Usually, we will have our delicious dinner somewhere and then blast some clubbing songs in the car on the way back.
2. The mission to scout for good food around KL.
3. SHOTGUN!
4. Watch two silly people jump and scream whenever they see nice cars on the road.
5. Jun Han’s sudden urge to sing, which includes his attempt to sing/shout at other cars that pass by.
6. Jun Kai as my chauffeur.
7. Andrew’s attempt to devour the evil gingerbread woman and save the princess from the devil.
8. Amanda saying, “I miss you, wifey!!!”
9. Natasha’s weird facial expressions.
10. The times we mocked Jason the stalker’s weird class entrance
11. Hanging out at K-Theatre doing nothing or maybe watch movie and play chor dai di?
12. The sleepovers.
13. The water game. Seriously, it's a drinking game, but we substituted liquor for water.
14. GREEN WALL and the tower of lala's.
15. Jameson and Amanda prodding my drink.
16. Wei Wen's pedo-smile.
17. Bullying Kevin because he's a guai lou.
18. CPU

...and there are so many more but I couldn't list them right now because my brain is empty. Teehee.

Though it has only been a year, it feels like forever. I actually feel a stronger bond with you guys compared to the other people around that I've known for like, forever. And I'm glad I've known every single one of you, erm, not exactly, but almost. :D 

Well, it's not goodbye yet, but I still hope the best for all of you, till we meet again. :)

It’s 2 in the morning. I know I should be in bed now, more so with my not-so-appealing health condition. But I can’t sleep. After multiple attempts of making myself sleep, I even succumbed to the old-fashion way - counting sheep. As expected, it didn’t work quite well.

Because of that, my mind began to wander. I scanned through every memory in the past year, some made me smirk and chuckle under my sheets and some hit me with a pang of repentance. After that was done, I came up with a few resolutions for the year. One of them is to outstand. And to outstand, I have to speak out.

Honestly saying, speaking out was never one of my professions, what else to stand out. I prefer blending in with the crowd, away from risk. To stand out, to speak out, is my barrier - the barrier that stops me from moving forward. I understand that very well. As much as I fear taking that one step away from the crowd, I am proud to say that I’ve never given up on trying. In fact, CPU was one of my few attempts to break that solid wall of fear. Indeed, I was forewarned by the counselor that CPU consisted of 70% course work, which includes presentations and so much more that requires one to speak out. Obviously, it hit me right where I am weak, but I told myself I should give it a go. A week after that, I dreaded that decision. The first month into CPU was rather fearful, knowing that I have to break out of my shell any moment. As it turns out, things weren’t that bad after all. I did it and I survived, well obviously. But I’m still constantly trying to break that wall. I noticed, every time I take a step away, unconsciously, I’ll blend in again when I’m done. So new year’s resolution – step out and don’t look back.

Yawns

It’s bed time now, I guess.

Signing off,
Eve.

2.57am.

So this is it. The end of another phase in life. We've reached the end of this road, looking at the branched roads in front of us that lead us to different futures. Our future, undetermined, makes it the more scarier. Looking back, everything happened so fast this semester. I realize I didn't have the chance to wait for it to really sink in before it all ends. It was like yesterday, I sat in an unfamiliar class with a bunch of strangers around me. And now I am an alumni of Taylor's. How I wish I can grasp the things I hold most dearly and bring forward to the next phase of life. 

I am not going to write about how much the end of CPU affects me because everyone (well, almost) did it and mine doesn't really make a difference. The future seems more...compelling, I think, or maybe not. 

Things to do in the near future:

1. Check inbox everyday for unconditional offer letter from Melbourne University.

2. Seek info regarding orientation so Mom can book flight ticket.

3. Get a job (need retail experience to survive job world in Melbourne).

4. Download Fruit Ninja so I can play it on A.P.'s iPhone.

5. Sort my clothes - The ones that I like goes into the luggage; the ones that I semi-like stays; the ones that I don't like goes to charity. Fair enough.

6. Write a letter for the ones I care - to be done before my flight in 2 months. Long time more.

7. Get scholarship, if possible.

If I don't end here. This list will go on forever.  

End of CPU doesn't mean the end of friendship.
Yes, I agree that life goes on, we will, eventually meet new people and old friends will be replaced with new ones.
But are you going to conform to that?
As far as I'm concerned, that is not fate. That, doesn't determine how our friendship will be like.
It is in us, in our very hearts, how we view this friendship we had and how we really want to treasure it.
Yes, as I once said, no matter how many times we say we'll still remain close friends, things do change and those words will become empty promises.
This tests us now in how we play our role in keeping this friendship alive.
With technology these days, I don't see why we can't.
What we're lack of is merely the physical being.
But our friendship can still flourish in our hearts.
It's how you and me work it out.

:)
