BACK IN KUALA LUMPUR

BACK @ HOME

BACK IN COMFORTS

BUT I'M JetlaGGED (FUCK SAKE) - Woke up @ 5am. Must go to the GYM after this.

After going to Italy and being in London for a week, its SO very very nice to finally be @ home. Mummy's Love, good food, cleaned house... What more can one ask for???

But I must say I miss London a little bit . After wanting to come back to KL for a while. (dont get me wrong though, Im not dying to go back so soon) I miss the TUBE! hahaha. I am so god damn lazy to drive now. I love it how you can hop on and then day dream till its your stop top get off. But when you're driving, you gotta look left, look right, look straight, signal, accelerate, break, etc. I want a driver!!!!

Feels so weird. Feels like Ive been away for SOOO Long. So many things going on. Summed up, Its been crazy for the past few months. Feel a bit like I've gone throught some kinda "Metamorphosis".

Chorus from "I TRY ": I try to say good bye in a choke. Try to walk away in a stumble. Though I try to hide it, its clear. My world crumbles when you are not near.

ITALY

Its an interesting place. So far my trip has been pretty messed up but funny, stupid and interesting... Lesson learnt> More and better planning woul be helpful. or maybe im not a backpacker at heart. Will Elaborate another time. People here are real friendly and helpful. BUT they are so SLACK. I guess the Italian Style. Food is yummy

Venice is unique and charming. Modena *town where Ferrari is manufactured* is cool but quiet... Florence, HMNnnnn you dont wanna know, we were idiotic backpackers. ROMA is beautiful and i love it!!! Altho, Im starting to think the Vatican is kinda fucked up. Ugh, Religion, Pope, etc.... so full of shit. Hypocrites. They can kiss my ass man!!!

Thats all for now. Off to the the Colloseum and what not.

Ciao xx

Its been one hell of a week

After my last exam, I went to Durham for a crazy and fun weekend for Chingy's Birthday! Met all of Ching's really cool friends and had a blast... Was nice to be out there coz i loved the chilled feel of the whole place. Came back feeling tired but it was well worth it. came back feeling tired BUT it was well worth it.

Highlights of Durham:
- KLUTE (worst nightclub in Europe) *really really GrossHot&sweaty but fun
- Our awesome 40 min jog by MaidenHill and River Wear
- Planet of Sound: Durham Uni's Nightclub thingy in their Union
- Ching's Birthday
- Pretty good Cheap Food

Got back to London and dreaded my stupid essay and exam for a whole week. Manged to actually get into my essay and finish it. But I didn't study for my 10 am Economics exam this morning till 6 am this morning. OMG... Almost had an anxiety attack. Don't plan to do it again. Thank God it all went OK.

After coming back from Durham I fucking fell sick and just made me not wanna study but its all cool now. Still got my fucking cold which just loves me so much and doesnt wanna leave me. (how sweet... NOT) It was such a bitch having to study and do work and pack and clean and do all this shit b4 leaving London. Ugh... I just hope that my cold goes away while I'm in Italy.

Now, I am all set to jet to Venice tomorrow morning. Yes I am. All packed and ready to go. Little backpacking Jing. WEE!!!! Can't believe I've finished 1st year and even better, I CANNOT believe that I'll be home in two and a half weeks.

Ciao.

ONE DOWN

I just had my Law exam and I am so relieved! It didnt go as bad as I imagine... I remembered more than I thought I had. I just hope that I applied it well and to the liking of the marker. Whoever the fuck its going to be. You better like it bitch! Or I won't be impressed if i have re-sit it. One more exam to go and one more coursework. and then Im done. Yay!!!

Heading up North to Durham and Thursday to visit Chinga. Looking forward to that whether it will be a chilled out weekend or crazy drunken nights. (I get this impression that they're REALLY big on that).

Bumming in my Living room waiting for Friends to come on then OC later. How nice. This feels so good.

Listening to a random Air CD i bought on line >> awesome shit it is.

2.47pm and I haven't started studying. CRAP

I am starting to get sleeping problems which proves that Im stressing over nothing. Feel like such a wuss. Nervous, worried, anxious and excited too. Just stupid things on my mind which shouldn't be (why do i bother?) Ive only got two exams BUT thats not the point at all. I'm just freaked that if I fail, Im gonna have to come back early from the holidays to do my re-sits which REALLY ULTIMATELY would be the end of the world for me. And that's because if I have to come back early, I CANNOT go to Melbourne. Hence, I will be absolutely:

1) devastated
2) pissed off at myself for failing a 1st year unit
3) feeling so guilty coz I told my dear Steph that I WILL be there
4) melbourne-sick

Yes, I really wanna go back to eat and drink all the food and coffee I Love and hang with wongers.

But yet, here I am typing away... Yeah I know... What great procrastination.
Anyway, I'm getting slightly annoyed with my stupid sleeping probs. I freaking go to bed early... One hour later still up, tosing and turning... and about half an hour later I decide to either call someone and chat or read my boring ass Contractlaw NUTSHELL... Attempt to go back to sleep... @bout 4.30 the freaking sun is rising!

AND STILL I AM AWAKE

Fucking hell I only had one cup of coffee today. What the hell is going on???
I had to turn to 'Dormicum'... Sleeping pills. Not Good

Wake up feeling groggy and waste half of today bumming. Watched a TV doc about Greek Gods and Goddesses. Really interesting. Just reminds me of the good old days in EnglishClass with Mr White studying "Antigone".

Just had a good cuppa and a Muffin. Jack Johnson playing. *Soothing and Calming
Time to bury myself to dry legal sHizenHouse.

Your Birthdate: October 4

Being born on the 4th day of the month should help make you a better manager and organizer.
You may be more responsible and self-disciplined than you realize.
Sincere and honest, you are a serious and hard working individual.

Your feelings are likely to seem somewhat repressed at times.
The number 4 has something of an inhibiting effect on your ability to show and express affections, as feeling are very closely regulated and controlled.
You are apt to be much more practical, rational, and conscious of details.
There is a good deal of rigidity and stubbornness associated with the number 4.

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

LAME BUT ENTERTAINING in its own way.

<< Eye Openers>>
Sometimes, you just hear stories about what other people are doing and you realise how SO VERY lucky you are. You hear stuff on the news all the time but you don't think about it until you realise that it's all around you, everywhere you go. Just realised the extent of the privilages I have and damn... I am very thankful.

Moving on, parentals are gone. Good and Bad. But its all nice and quiet again. Time to hit the books and gear up for exams!! I only just realised that I have less than 3 weeks, which is kinda a lot of time but still...

Looking forward to the end of this month for my little trip AND next month for my BIG trip.

Bring it On!!

Internet Haven: I am getting hooked on to Online shopping. Whats goin on?!?! CDs, Coffee Machine, Sneakers, Camera Accesories. Hahaha, Amazon is my new best friend.

Spring is here and it feels Great!!! It makes this whole place feel different and surreal - a bit like I'm in a dream. Spent a day in Oxfordshire all of yesterday. The change of being in the countryside was nice. Open spaces, grass, clean air and good weather was a privilage.

Since gettin back from Austria from my snowboarding trip, Ive just been chilling, thinking, puttin my head down to plow thru courseworks and getting my head straight. I must say that it has been a good two weeks. Its the first time since I getting to London where I actually feel content and most importantly, HAPPY.

I am just so thankful for what i have right now. For my family, friends and to be where I am right now.

Its just so bizarre sometimes. *The people who you thought didn't give a crap about you actually do AND the ones that you did or claim to, actually DON'T. But its always good in situations like these coz I guess, its shows you who are the ones that really matters. I love you all so much and Im so grateful to have you guys.

In year 12, I always likened life in a lame way, to be like the 'economic cycle' or a 'quadratic/parabola'. My proclamation HAS NOT failed me. hahaha! Lame Philosopher Jing...

Anyway apart from all this stuff, I've visited Stan the MAn down @ Bristol for the weekend. Was lovely to be out there: space and clean air has become a luxury. It was also gr8 to check out Bristol and I thought it was a really nice place. Wonder what it would've been like if I studied there??

It was also so awesome to have O-A come stay with me in London for a couple of days. Some sightseeing and cooking injection definitely took place. Visited the British Museum, Museum of London, Clockcwork Museum (yes it exists in a discreet corner of London), St. Paul's, Borough Market and that garden in the movie CLOSER. Pretty cool, eh??? Borough market rules!!! Loved the food.

And not to mention, that awesome night out with Chinga!!!! Total fun! Loads of drinks, dancing and er... annoying guys. (Right, Ching?)

Anyway, thats all for now. Parentals are in town so its a nice thing. =)
