Back again, and busy as ever

mood: alright
music: lee hom - wei yi (chinese)


'ey up. right, so the exams are finally over. actually, they've been over a few days, as some of you would probably know, but i've been...*koff*busy*koff*...y'know, with like, post-exam matters. like having a life and stuff like that (gasp).

so anyhoo, final paper was chem on thursday arvo. i told the guys i'd probably finish 6pm thereabouts, but ended up walking out before 4.30. bad, i know. i left the last two pages blank (organic chem), but managed to finish most of the questions. not too bad for half a day's work, i reckon. :-P

yeah so anyway went with joe and ryan down to chaddy. saw vic and yokemon there and went to catch hulk. probably because i was tired (hey, 4 papers in three days!!), i didn't find it very interesting and ended up falling asleep. :( i remember waking up and seeing banner's dad getting electrocuted, muttering "cool" and falling asleep again. ah well, besides the film it was a good hang-out night. : )

on friday i attempted (in vain) to tidy up my room. props to edwin for coming over and helping me move paul's fridge to my room. don't know why i bothered, though; it's still sitting in the middle of my floor waiting to be filled and plugged in. ; ) friday night was post-exam night at tone's place. i showed up with ryan. mostly it was the muiss guys. much drinking, smoking and card-playing. reached home at...umm...can't remember. :-P a good night.

saturday saw me sleeping till noon, then trying to get some of the website done. aug was flying off at 4am sunday morn and wanted to go buy some stuff, so vic and i accompanied him over to the glen for lunch and some shopping. had a sudden weird craving for sashimi and spent $15 on lunch. stupid stomach. got back around 6, washed up and headed off for the big night at the next blue. met willy and tone at huntingdale station, then met up with ryan and chen hoe in the city. had chinese for dinner, and busted some time on daytona while we waited for the girls. headed over to the club at 11-ish, nearly 20-strong. long queues both ways.

unfortunately, i hadn't realised the queue system had changed, and while those of us on freelist were admitted, the rest on guestlist had to take the other queue. my bad. :( the main entry queue was ages long, so they decided to head for the casino instead. the nine of us who made it in had a few drinks and danced a bit, waiting for the rest who got in around 2am. good party, good crowd. the highlight of the night was when ryan and willy nodded off on the couch during a break and got caught by the bouncers. 15minutes sitting outside before they were let back in. that was a laugh. ; )

we were finally kicked out when the club closed at 6, so we headed over to crown and had mac's breakfast. after running around in the rain a wee bit and managing to catch a tram down to i-can't-remember-which station, we realised the cranbourne line only started an hour later. ended up catching one of them van-taxis back to southeast flats, and chen hoe drove the rest of us back to our respective homes. major props dude; you're a life-saver. : ) got into bed at...8+ (at a guess). all in all, a really good night. credit to trent for hosting a spectacular event. :-D

right, so we're down to...sunday. woke up at 1630 (ahem) and ran over to the religious centre for mass. not sure why, guess it was just 'cos i haven't been in a few weeks. ended up being pulled to sit with the choir (not good after two crazy nights and a soar throat) but thankfully i didn't make too much of a fool of myself. 'twas good meeting up with jul and shir again. went for dinner with them, and aaron, alex and alvin. the whole lot of them (17-strong) are heading on a road trip to the grampians and adelaide tomorrow. a lil' envious, i guess. could do with a break myself. ah well. you guys have fun!!! :-D

got the entire young and dangerous series (gu huo zai) from ryan and watched the whole thing last night. awesome stuff. thanks dude. ; )

which pretty much brings me up to speed. in between all the other nonsense, i've been trying to design the new sam website (yeah i know the current one looks like crap), as well as teach myself php (started today). on top of that, orientation for next sem's coming up and me and renald are doing the city trip again. meeting on wednesday with ellyne from MI to discuss the details. *sigh* looks like another busy semester. as the chinese saying goes, "one wave has yet to settle before another rises" or something like that. yeah, my translation sucks, but you get the point. ; )

well, no point griping about it. up and at 'em!

but before that, dinner with edwin at mac's. ; )

gav out.
