Back At One

Hello everybody, I’m back…man, it’s been a while since I blogged…say…just under 4 months…hopefully putting up a post this early in the semester is a sign of good things to happen (but experience told, it’s better not to keep your hopes to high)…Anyway, let me just start by updating you guys about what’s going on in Newey…
Well, I just got to start with the room…what can I say, the room is awesome…huge…it’s like a mini apartment unit…my pad has everything to survive…a kitchenette, toilet, bed, storage, desk, phone line and ADSL…how cool is that…all I can say is…life is sweet… this is truly the way to live…but on the downside…the people here are quite anti-social… our college had a welcoming bbq…which translate into…free food…but like only 20++ people turn up…which is a real bummer…guess I’ll probably stick to my old circle of friends most of the time…but I must say there are some really friendly blokes as well, only my 1st week here…and I’ve been invited to Mardi Gras…will think about it…hahaah…but I do love this new life-style…eat when I want to…and stuff…however, my eating habits are really poor at this point…must be the settling in process…haven’t had much fiber (i.e fruits and vege)…aside form the salads from all the dinners I’ve attented (so far…3)…been eating a lot of sandwiches and frozen food…this is bad… got to change this…change this soon…
School’s started…and my 1st week has ended…1st thing that pops to my mind is that…the transition from 1st year to 2nd year is really huge…boy, do they expect so much more from students now then they did in 1st year…the contents are much tougher and workload has significantly increase... I was quite overwhelm during this 1st week…to be absolutely truthful…I’m already stress out…which I really shouldn’t be…dude…it’s only the 1st week…most people are still having the holiday hang-over…I worry too much… way too much…but I guess that’s how I felt this time last year…so I’m sure it’s just the early year syndrome…I’m sure as the semester progresses…I’ll be fine…just have to work out a plan to fit in all the studying and assignments…not to mention a bit of socializing…cause that’s what Uni is all about…good news is my room-mate is such a study-holic…still, I think both of us are in the bludging mode…last night we didn’t get anything done (but then again, like I said, 1st week…shouldn’t over-stress ourself)…just hang around with our respective lap-tops and watch movies and stuff…sigh…I just hope I’ll be able to survive this year…sounds like a tall order…but I should be fine…
2006…I’ll beat you…hahahahah
P.S…going to Sydney this weekend to chill and de-stress…and buy some Asian groceries…so Meng How and Serene… you’re gonno see a lot of me this year… be prepared…hahahhahhaa
