Unwell

Heyyylowww peeps!
Well I actually did not expect to blog anytime soon
Cause with the internet speed I'm given 
And the starting of my university life
Blogging just seems to be a mission impossible over here
But I finished my assignments weeks before the due date
So... Here I am! :D

There was a 5 day holiday last week so I went back home
And it's proven
Nowhere will ever feel more comfortable than home
I miss my family, my house, my room, my car, the food and the internet speed
I always thought I'm not gonna get homesick
Since the university is merely a 2 and a half hour drive from home
But that's not true. 
No matter how far/near you are from home, if you're not living in it, you're gonna get home sick
Well at least that's the case for me

After the 5 days break, the first thing that welcomed me back to the hostel, is a cold
I caught a cold on the very first day back here
It's like my body saying: "Dude, go home!"
That is when I really feel the homesick kicking in
I gotta take the meds on my own, remind myself in the next 8 hours
Take vitamin supplements, Check body temperature.
All by my own.
My mom is not here to make sure I'm okay,
My dad is not here to make sure I have an appetite
My brother is not here to make sure I'm not dead.. yet.. :O

But I guess this is a part of growing up
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

Ohh and here's an advice to everyone.
Always bring enough cash for grocery shopping
Because you wouldn't know when your credit card cannot be authorized
I almost got a heart attack yesterday, here's a thank you note to my mom for teaching me to keep emergency money with me :D

Ohh and one of my lecturers wants us to do a sketch instead of a presentation
On a exam week
The sketch is worth 15% for our final course grade
Great. Just great.
Did I mention we should dress up for the sketch too? 
But at least my group members were cooperating on this
Hopefully this sketch is gonna turn out to be a good one.

I guess I can conclude that this week haven't been great
But it's all gonna be fine cause
Tough time doesn't last, tough people do :D

University Week 1

Hey peeps!
So I've been M-I-A here for a while.
Do you guys miss me? :P
If you've read my previous post you'll know that I'm officially a university student now!
Hooray to University!
Also I'm now living in a hostel, cause the University I go to is in a different state :(
200km , 124 miles away
It's not that far I guess :)

Anyway the first week of university is over
Starting from tomorrow, it's the 2nd week
I just wanna share how it went with you guys :)
Well, for starters,
It's only been a week and I already have 4 assignments on hold
Good thing is that there's absolutely no entertainment around here
The internet speed is so poor you can't open 4 webpage at the same time
Not to mention downloading movies or going on YouTube
So I've got all the time in the world :D
I don't really know if I should be happy or sad over this fact

University is a place where you have to learn about teamwork
Cause most of the assignments requires 4-5 group members
Sometimes I just wish I could duplicate myself and Michelle :O
But since the technology today cannot make that happen, and I don't really know anybody here
The random team forming mode is on
And you just don't know when you're suddenly group members with some serious douchebags
This is the time where you gotta calm down and tell yourself this

But thankfully I still have Michelle here with me
So at least when this shit happens
We will stick together and get things done :)

Secondly, my transportation is no longer my car :(
There's 16000 people in the university and roughly 15000 of them ride a bike
So... My journey of bike riding begins!
I'm really grateful that my dad taught me how to ride when I was a kid
Cause I would die walking to the university
The distance of my hostel to the university gate is 1km
From the gate to the lecture theatre is about 2km
The distance the the library is almost 2.5km
Ohh and did I mention it's 50% uphill?
Even though I'm riding a bike,
I can't help but feel this once again 

And lastly, THE WEATHER
The weather here is so hot I got sunburnt badly the first day 
So from snow white, I'm now pocahontas
That is not a joke, I wish it was.
There's also a few days that I have a 3 hour break in between classes
 3 hours is a lot, so I would go home and cook lunch
Every time after coming back from class, the first thing I do is to bathe
Well that's because I will be bathing in my sweat
That is why I shower more than 3 times per day in average

The hostel was kind enough to provided us water heater
But I've never used it once
So I really wouldn't know if it's broken or anything
This place is still stuffy at night, so I've never used my blanket too!
Also with this weather, my hair became so dry and it turns frizzy
I love my hair... a lot
Hence, cue the feelings again

Even though all that is hard to deal with,
The lecturers here are pretty good and helpful
So I guess that's the price I gotta pay other than my tuition fees
And now I'm cooking my meals!
So I guess it's a good thing!
At least I'm gonna be healthy :)

That's all for this post!
I miss you my family, my friends and you guys so much :)

XOXOXOXOXO

Randooooom

I don't know if it's just me 
But my random thoughts and creativity go sky high at midnight
So I decided to open my eyes and turn on the computer and blog
I have a sudden realisation that I'm turning 20 next year
I'm still trying to let that sink in 

In the meantime 
BOW DOWN TO CAT NORRIS HAHAHAH!

I'm getting a little worried
How did time passes so quickly?
How did I just turn 19?
The only evidence is that I have a car and a driving license 
And that it says so on my identity card?
Is it possible that some evil dude have been secretly stealing time?
The truth is we're just like... 15?
Don't judge me that dude in Despicable Me stole a freaking moon
And don't say that all cartoons are imaginary
How do you explain this picture then?
HUH?
Shit just got real :O

So, I'm not going to Hogwarts. Great. Just great.
Nope. It isn't

Well like it or not, those times are gone
I'm still turning 20 next year
So mind as well make the best of it
On the bright side, I could enter the casino real soon!
I shall conclude that I'm a optimist
I'm starting to think that this post is almost meaningless
Hmm who cares?
IT'S MY BLOG

If you're feeling like this too, here's a few awesome songs for us
Watch the video and thank me later :P
Love you guys <3

Ohh before I go back to sleep
HAHAHAHAAH
Good night

Depart

I've been receiving a lot of invites lately
Asking if I could come hang out before they had to depart to study
So I guess this is one of the growing-up phase
Departing with friends to different places
To continue the journey of life 

Back in primary school I always imagine that me and my friends would all grow up
Go to the same high school
Then have a job and live a same big house
I think those were the good times
After that we all went to different high schools
Those dreams were left there. Inside our memory

I think I'm drifting to the emotional side now
-Snap back to reality-
So I went out with my primary school friends and out of my expectations,
They didn't change much
They're still really fun to be around with, and I miss all of them so much
It's feels like we're back to primary school again
We talk about which teacher that we didn't like and what did they do that piss us off
What kinda pranks that we pulled and what punishment did we get
A part of me wishes that I was there when those things happened

When we're all growing up,
We tend to be more serious about stuff
Our topic of discussion became what's happening in the world, our country, the community
I'm glad that the technology nowadays made it easier for us to stay connected
And of course, I'm grateful that I bumped into these awesome people when I was young
My childhood was perfect :)

So to all my friends out there
No matter how long have we been missing out
It's been nice knowing you and 
I wish you all the best to whatever you're gonna do in your life :)
Love you <3
