Melb Uni Athletics Club mens runners

post-run pig out!

ah...my 2nd race of the season is over. 6km relay at Yarra Bend. Its a really nice park, but the course was full of tight turns!!! It felt like i was watching formula 1 on tv.

Anyways, i did a 24mins flat...which is actually quite bad. Maybe it was the flu....haha. here i go making excuses. OH but one thing that definitely DID slow me down was the fact that i ran off course!! There werent many ppl ard me at the time, and i veered into this dirt track down into the woods cos i thought that was the right way. Its only after about 15 seconds that a marshaller yelled out to me to get back on the runnning route! argh! (satiish, now i know how it feels. =p)

so tired now. totally spent.....
gonna have dinner then try to get started on some work. will prob do something easy tonight that i can work on while watching TV. Ocean's 11 is on. nice. hmmm....maybe some watercolouring for my Asian Archi module.

flu

argh

what a rotten time to get sick...got a 6km relay this sat.

gonna drink lots of water and hopefully pee all the germs out of my system.

eeeww.

sch work's starting to heat up too. Just barely managed to hand in my assignment today. (the one that i thought was due on 19th may. phew! that was too close...) And very promtly received a NEW assignment! yay....hurray.... worth 55% of the grade. but this one is due on may 25th. this time im SURE OF IT! hahaha.

mid wk blues

really felt sad yesterday.
dunno y... was sitting in my apartment alone, staring at my comic books on the shelf.....and it hit me that i'll be here for a long time to come. All the things that have been happening of late have only served to compound this miserable feeling.
I miss home....
luckily its already end april, and soon i'll be back to the sunshine of spore!

but thats only temporary happiness. what about the future?..... i used to be so certain of where i was headed. i would graduate from archi, get a PR, get a job here....blah blah. now all that seems so hazy. I cant see anything past this semester, and maybe i dont want to. I'm afraid of what will happen, because im not sure if i want it.

bah

hopefully this feeling will pass. exams are coming soon so that should keep my mind occupied. also have 3 races over the next 3 weekends. running is good therapy, cos when you're gasping for breath, life doesnt seem so bad. its quite sadistic, but thats the way i see it.

one good piece of news this week... i got one of my models published in a university magazine! yay! its not much...but my name will be printed there n all. haha its a start...

hang in there guys. exams almost over.

D'oh! D'oh! D'oh!

shit im screwed!!
haha this is so terrible its actually funny!
although it probably wont be funny anymore when i end up pulling an all-nighter on wed night.

haha.. so whats going on u ask? i thought one of my BIG assignmets was due on 19th may. but turns out, i was a little bit off...

ITS DUE THIS THURSDAY!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
IDIOT!

dunno how the heck i managed to f this one up. haha.
so now frantically scrambling to finish in 2 days!!

Its ANZAC day today, which is supposed to be a holiday, but im at uni now printing out stuff in the comp lab. ahhh....serves me right. shouldve double checked the dates.

hahahahahaha. its still funny for the moment.

"tell me, what good is a phone call if you're unable....to speak"

another test here

enjoy

happy food

mmm... the smell of apple pies in the oven. its enough to brighten up any day. and my days are in dire need of brightening.
but apple pies alone cant do it.... need more happy food to multiply the effect.

enter....ICE CREEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAM!!!!

u scream i scream we all scream for ice cream!

im really losing it......
gotta keep my mind busy.

happy food. happy food!

sigh..

im in trouble...
something happened that ive always told myself to avoid, but it happened anyway.

falling for a friend...

its a terrible feeling. because i know i shouldnt...but, as often is the case, feelings of the heart transcend all logic and reason. but that doesnt make it any easier. in fact, i think it makes it worse...
i'd rather be rejected by a stranger 10 times over than be in this situation now..

ah, then of course theres the infamous ladder theory (see "ladder theory" post below). dont wanna wind up in the abyss.

damn it. cant study.. cant concentrate.. this is driving me crazy!

uh oh...im a chick...

the ladder theory

a friend of mine told me of this theory about relationships, but more specifically about relationships that do or do not sprout from friendships.

its called the Ladder Theory, and i have to say its the damned most accurate relationship theory ive ever heard. Well, actually it's more accurate if u are a guy. If you're a girl u may be offended by this theory, so im just gonna give u a WARNING now so that u dont sue me.

here goes.

Guys have ONE ladder. its called the f**k ladder. ( or relationship ladder, if f**k ladder sounds too crude. hey, im just telling it the way it was told to me) anyways, every girl that he meets, he places them on this ladder. the higher up the ladder they are, the more he wants to be in a relationship with her. Remember, ALL girls that guys meet are placed somewhere on this ladder, EVEN FRIENDS ARE ON THIS LADDER SOMEWHERE. girls that he doesnt see ANYthing attractive in, he places them below the ladder, in the abyss. So you see, any girl can move up or down a guy's ladder. The determinants of this movt varies from guy to guy. (some guys like talkative girls, so if a girl he knew for a long time suddenly became the talkative type, she might move up the ladder. you get the idea...)

Now comes the interesting part.

Girls have TWO ladders. just like guys, they have a f**k ladder. BUT they also have a FRIEND ladder. when a girl meets a guy, she either places him on the f**k ladder or the friend ladder. Thing is, the guy doesnt know which ladder he's on! If he's on the f**k ladder, then good for him. if he plays his cards right, he could move up the ladder and maybe one day win her heart. BUT, ( and here comes the MOST impt bit) if a guy is on the friend ladder, he can NEVER by his own actions get onto the f**k ladder. if he really really likes the girl, and tries to elevate their friendship to the next level, he could end up crashing and burning if he was on her friend ladder, not her f**k ladder. when a guy is blinded by love, the f**k ladder always seems within reach. It seems that its possible to leap from the friend ladder onto the f**k ladder. but this is NOT TRUE. guys that try this leap wiil not make it and fall into the abyss.
ONLY a girl can move the guys she pleases from her friend ladder to her f**k ladder. BUT, as mentioned before, the guy is not aware of this. soooooo, the moral here is....it sucks to be a guy sometimes. if u really like a friend of yours, and think that you two can have a more serious relationship, BE CAREFUL!!! U MAY BE WRONG!!! u could be on her friend ladder!!!! if u leap, u will fall into the abyss!!!!! and once you're in the abyss, u cannot be on both ladders.

alone again..

my parents are leaving tonight!!!
noooooooo......
i feel better knowing i'll see them again in a couple of months.
my mom cooked enough food to feed a small country and put it in my freezer. i think its gonna last me till i go back to spore. haha.

in the meantime...its catch up session for me during the easter break.

been 3 days since the hols started and i havent done SHIT!

auugh....i hate myself for being so slack. but its just so difficult to start being studious. so many distractions!! okok, excuses iylia.... you're just a slack ass. sigh...
tmr prob not gonna get much work done also. morning going for a run in some nature reserve 1hr away from the city with the melb uni runners. carpooling there with a hot babe and two other guys. hopefully the guys oversleep and it'll be just me n her...mwahahahahaha.
then in the afternoon going to the visitors centre (tourist centre) with some frens to scope out any nice places to go for a day trip during the hols. yup, so that will be another day gone.
ahhhhh like this how to study man!!!!

anyways, hope u all are doing well preparing for exams and all... i cant wait to see u all in june. soon soon! =)

sorry guys...
i know its been quite a while since my last post. once again, i shall not make any excuses. ive just been lazy.

updates! updates!

1. my parents are here! woooohooooo. my mom's cooking everyday and i dont have to eat my own shitty food! =)

2. i fell asleep in my lecture this morning AGAIN. 9am lectures are just way too early. especially this time of the year when its cold and the sun doesnt rise till 7.30am. anyways...my fren who was sitting next to me said "if you're gonna sleep, why bother coming at all. you should just sleep at home." wise words. i shall take her advice. next friday im sleeping in. we'll see...

3. race this sunday! 14.7km! excited! excited!

4. waaaaaaay behind in my work. need to do MAJOR catching up in the easter one-wk break. i blame my PSP. or rather, i blame myself for being unable to control myself from playing with my PSP. HA! NO LONGER! i will end the slackness HERE N NOW! (ive prob said this three of four times this sem). BUT THIS TIME I MEAN IT! (again, said before several times)

5. went for a food bazaar at melb uni tonite. (kinda like a pasar malam except without the pirated clothes and jersey stalls) HAd lotsa nice food! korean food...dutch food...malay food...filipino food. yum! they all tasted soooooo good. im sure they're super fattening.
