fuzzy dreams.

Monday, August 27, 2007

its been quite a while since i had dreams. but i've been having really weird dreams that dont make any sense at all for the past few nights. and then when i wake up its all fuzzy.


hearing of accidents on the news used to make me feel a little sorry for the victim & his/her family. but to have it happen to someone somewhere in the extended family tree (but mum, i still dont see how your cousin's son is called my cousin as well), it suddenly had me thinking how real it can all be, and how fragile and precious one's life really is. everything you ever had could be gone within seconds. such a pity too, that he was only 16 & had a whole life ahead of him. his parents must be so devasted. this is really something we have absolutely no control over. sigh. but right now i'm just having goosebumps bcos i'm reminded of celine's story about her grandad being involved in an accident. i'll just leave out the gruesome details.


i can't believe it's august already! i barely have any impression of the past 6 months. looks like my 1st yr in uni will be over fairly soon.

anyway, best of luck to all those having prelims and who actually need it :)

whoah! what a hectic start of semester 2! spent most of week one trying to get out of holiday mood. also brood over the fact that i'm really bad at selecting birthday gifts, especially when i suddenly got to know quite a few july babies, but none of em' shares my horoscope, which makes me feel somewhat extinct. lol. i soooo want to kill the antique oven we have right now. yeah yeah, so much for our 60s retro cute little kitchen, with retro flooring too. till now none of us have figured out how to actually control the oven. but at least i ended up with edible cookies, except they weren't exactly pretty. ended up giving celine some never-can-fail cookies. lol. at least everyone loved it.

i just wish they wouldn't have sausage sizzles so often in uni. the aroma's sooo tempting. you can like detect it miles away and our nose just leads you to it. the queue was ultra long on the 1st day. lol. those new students. i bet they didn't know it happens every other week. they'll soon grow sick of it. plus they're so unhealthy! more so than they look scary. but i couldn't resist at kangeroo island and had a super fat sausage. i made up with lotsa salads!! speaking of which, i gave myself leave from sch for 3 days! it was fun at kangeroo island, especially with family. i bet my high class uncle was in shock when we arrived at the accomodation. how dare they call themselves 3 star hotel! we didn't bring enough towels as a result. lol. we had bunk beds to sleep in and it feels so much like camping. oh, we spotted a fairy penguin that was ran over by a car on the road. that's kinda sad. the waves were ultra ultra HUGE when we were on the ferry. i'm just lucky i didn't get sick. the rest of my relatives just weren't made for travelling. but i really sympathise with them. it must have been unbearable.

my uncle's visit has invoked my cravings for singapore food!!! i miss food paradise! it's funny that they had chinese cuisine almost the whole time they were in australia. and they felt none of the restaurants we tried could compare to s'pore's! the 3rd day of sch i skipped, we went to waterfall gully, viewed an english cottage that my uncle was so tempted to buy. those houses on the hills are so luxurious! and the view is a bonus. we visited the nursery and bought a mandarin orange plant and another plant for deco purposes. but i guess it'd be years before we get some oranges. heh. the sakura-look-alike tree in front of our house is not flowering!! the one across our house looks so pretty, with all the pink flowers. i think our tree might be dying.

shucks. i'm really craving for some gelato right now. haven't been watching what i eat lately. guilty guilty guilty. july has been a fatteningly fun month, savoury birthday cakes, cookies and pastries from the snack bar, and since my relatives were visiting we got to eat at restaurants alot. plus i'll soon be helping out at my uncle's snack bar. don't know if i can resist those cakes & cookies. urgh. i'm just glad my family doesn't own a restaurant or cafe or whatever. i don't think i will be able to stop eating. lol.
