(An attempt at a) Tribute..

Well well well... months have passed by since my last entry, and I just realised that I haven't written anything about uni (well, apart from day 1- enrollment day). Well, it turns out that uni life ain't so bad afterall. My class consists of 75 other people, with only 10 of em being guys. I have a fairly nice class, and intend on getting to know everyone by the end of next term.. however everytime I try and accomplish this goal- well, like I've said earlier, having the memory of a goldfish isn't exactly very helpful.
Let's see.. well, for starters, a checkup to the Docs has provided me with the knowledge that I’ve grown (YEAH- I’m still growin! WOOOoo) TWO WHOLE CENTIMETRES this past year! So yep, I’ve now reached a (personal) record breaking height of 166 cm; which in a way kinda makes me wish I could still partake in one of em school photos, just so I could progress to the third row up! Anyway, apart from me growing, well, uni has proven to be quite a handful (as expected)- but don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely way more than a couple of notches above the ‘just bearable’ mark on the ‘How much can I Hack before I Crack?’ scale. Well, this is primarily due to my crazy mates, (the most whackiest being) Anh, Clerinda and Aliece (yeah chickybabes- YOU!) Well, these guys are definately “UNIQUE” (there was no other way to put it)-

ALIECE: Being a major ‘BRAIN’ (let’s not forget that she’s way modest about it too!) and being my fellow ‘fridge-raider’- yes, and I’m talking about our special “pig out” sessions that we tended to have frequently; coincidentally even more so during HBB/Psych lectures ..

ANH: Being just as dirty-minded as I am; and hence usually being the first one to get any wicked insinuations that are made; oh and for also sharing the same opinion and lessons learnt in relation to the opposite sex as I do/have.

CLERINDA: Having the most weirdest nicks including “Glo”, being the most ‘sensible’ and responsible of our lot, and also chucking the most wicked parties! Oh, and let’s not forget her endless stash of sugar coated goodies purchased from the CSG Shop :D MMmm..

Well, there ya go, a sneak preview into the personalities of my three closest mates at uni. I’ve decided to be pretty brief and general with these.. coz um.. as much as I complain about my life- I do value it, and don’t wish it to end prematurely…
Hmm, sometimes I find it very hard to believe that I’ve only known these guys for the past 4-5 months or so, ‘coz it’s as if I’ve known em for.. well... eternity! (LoL.. and as depressing as that sounds, well, believe me, it’s a good thing!).
Anyway, we’ve shared quite a few memorable moments this past semester, including Clerinda’s grand ol’ 18th party, Anh’s whacky episodes on our lill patch of grass (yep, all caught and treasured on my phone- to be used for strictly blackmail purposes only MWAHAHA), our various city expeditions, and Aliece’s engagement party- did I mention that these are only a FEW?
Anyway, well I’ve just read what I’ve written and it sounds pretty damn.. well, ‘mushy’ aka LAME (Mannnn, my vocab definitely seems to have left me during these holz?!), so without further ado, I shall end this, before any of you guys start getting any weird notions in your lill heads. Anywho.. I just learnt a week ago, that Aliece has decided to get married and give uni (AND US) a lill rest for now.. so I guess this means adieu for a little while..well, she couldn’t have chosen anyone better than Leo (even if he is a sucker at Tetris :P)- these guys are like two peas in a pod.

Anyway, thus comes the end of our ‘Awesome Foursome’ Assoc. :(

Wishing you and your man all the best for the future…

Cheers dudette!

OLDER- definitely. But RESPONSIBLE???

Well well well.. semester 1 has now officially come to an end, along with our SIX FUNKALICIOUS WEEKS of holidays :I
OOoooh, highlight of my holidays- got to do TWO HOURS of driving..So yeah- know what that means? I’ve only got 48 hours of driving around on my Ls to GO! YEAH BABE! LoL.. nywayz, yeah, started learning with my instructor (Dennis); who I nearly killed THREE TIMES in half an hour(another personal record-breaking experience!).. Um.. yeah, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that he’s decided to go on holiday ‘all of sudden’ for a month, aye? :S Damn… anyway, all I’ve learn during those two hours, is that roundabouts are creations from HELL.. gosh, enough to piss even the most calmest L platers out there.. damn, if only there was a way just to drive over em like my uni bus drivers, aye? Hmm…
Anyway, well, my holidays were spent bumming around the locality, the city, peeling smelly garlic- um, and before you ask.. well, I’ve put some serious thought into this and still haven’t come upto any idea as to what my mum intended to do with all those mountains of garlic, anyway, I ain’t even sure I WANT TO KNOW.. well, least I know we definately don’t have to worry about keeping the vamps away- wait, on second thoughts- and perhaps people too?! :S This was my primarily “job” until I got so desperate of peeling and dealing with various vegetables and what nots, that I decided it was finally time to get myself A PROPER JOB. So well, naturally, my “NO LIFE PARTNER, LTD PTY” partner (U know who you are ;) spent the next two weeks traveling what seems like the whole of Sydney going job hunting. Well.. needless to say, most of the jobs had naturally been filled in just before the holidays (yep, and being the ‘organised’ folk that we are- we didn’t know this!) .. and .. oh crap.. I’d just forgotten what my point was :S Um… anyway, we ended up giving out so many resumes that I swear- if these employers had bothered recycling them before (probably) chucking them out- they could have saved around TWO WHOLE TREES (yes, go the Greenies!). LoL.. well, as boring and pathetic as it sounds, we did have fun (no matter how much she denies it!), and coincidentally- we both got past ‘Stage 1’ with Subway.. and um.. er… never heard from them again :P
Well.. we finally got to the stage where we got (literally) SICK of all the rejection, that we practically gave up and collapsed on our couches at home. Well, so much for that episode.. UNTIL…

*Cough, clears throat*

…One fine and sunny afternoon as I was lazing around on the couch half asleep watching the midday movie (DON’T COMMENT- U KNOW U WATCH IT TOO!) I got a phone call.. from one of the places I’d applied for! Hmm, to cut things short- REJECTED Nafisa ended up being called in for an interview two days later.. only to discover one day later…. THAT SHE HAD FINALLY LANDED HERSELF A JOB! (Oi.. don’t ask me about the second person thing.. I tend to zoom into second person speech when I talk.. You’ll get used to it)..

So yep, and it’s now been two weeks since I’ve started working.. and believe me- I’m LOVING IT. I mean, the people are great (they’re all uni-goers too! ), the location is great, and the timings are really flexible (I mean, I get to CHOOSE me own timings- NO KIDDIN!) and best of all… I GET PAID TO TALK!!!! YEAH BABE!

Aite aite.. sorry, You’re probably thinking “Damnnnn, this chic has an ego the size of Australia!” Well.. you know what? You’re probably right... and right now.. well, life couldn’t possibly get any finer than this…*sighs*
