Lately, so much has been going on here in Perth that I am feeling so overwhelmed both physically and emotionally. Got back my PR paper today, and let’s just say I did not do as well as I have expected to. Therefore, I am going to do a resubmission for it and hopefully score better. I am still really really depressed and mad about it, but I guess I can only blame myself for making those mistakes. Not that getting angry and mad is going to help the situation, but at least it helps me give out some steam, if not, I am going to go really mad aye.
I’ve been wondering lately, really, if this is where I am supposed to be, but I guess I will still stick out here in this rut, and make the best out of it. Honestly, when I got my PR paper back today, I was so depressed that I seriously considered only for a moment of dropping everything and going home. Afterall, Dad said he would rather me be happy than like this. Not that I am not happy, just really afraid that I cannot meet up to the standards here. Seriously, studying here is so different from back home. I guess living alone doesn’t help much also.
Anyway, on to happier stuff, last night saw us going down to Applecross for Gelare’s waffles. Yummy. And the result of it is me getting a really bad throat now, almost tonsilitis. Haha, anyway, it’s Cirque du Soleil tomorrow and I am bloody excited for it man! Then next week, or probably the weekend, I am going to the Perth Royal Show! And in between all that, I got to start planning for my next paper, finishing up my PR paper, do my fieldwork presentation bla bla bla.
But whatever, right now, I am just going to mourn over my PR paper and I’ll forget about it by dinnertime tonight, hopefully.
Right now, my brain is close to shutting down due to the amount of work I have pushed myself to finish for the past 3 days. I feel like I have no more strength left in me to do up my PR journal though it is only due for checking on Wednesday. And I haven’t start mugging for my test on Tuesday.
Honestly, I can’t wait for Wednesday to come, then it would mean freedom soon enough. As soon as I submit the journal for checking, I can look forward to going Cirque du Soleil on Thursday and planning for Jules’ birthday the week after. And also my break week. Yay, hopefully we can go to Burswood again. We are thinking of going to Claremont for the Perth Royal Show, hopefully there would be a ride for us to get there, because it’s bloody far from where we are at. So much things to do during break week, but so little time, bloody hell. I need to look for accomodation also. Oh man. Then there’s even more assignments to do, like getting started on my next globalisation paper and my PR campaign. Gosh. Don’t I just love Uni life.
But for now, today, all I’m going to do is enjoy my foot massage and the night out at Northbridge. Since I’ve already completed most of what I’ve intended to do today, other than studying for my test.
7 more weeks to go till homeeeee! (With much work to do in between)
2 nights ago saw me going down to Burswood for the first time with good company, namely, Chai, Ricky and his friend, Simon. This trip was somewhat unplanned, meaning we didn’t plan before hand on going down to Burswood. Chai only told me on that evening that Ricky might be going to Burswood and so we went along for some fun.
I changed 50 bucks worth of chips and lost it all. Haha, but it was all for good fun. 20 on Roulette and that was what made me so pissed! You are supposed to win at the Roulette table!!! But Simon was smart enough, he went with 20 and lost it all. It beats losing 50 ok. Money wheel was exciting man, it is, if I may say, one of the easier ways to earn money there. Anyway, we all lost money at Burswood, and Ricky was griming on the way back in the car. Haha.
But let me tell you, that place never seems to close! That’s what they all said, and I was like… what the! No wonder they can earn tons of money aye. And like what Mariko said, that place is filled with old foggies on a weekday night, how true that is man. Sleazy looking old ah peks were putting chips as if they were free on the roulette table man. And the worst thing is they actually shove themselves against you due to their size just to put it on the table. How brilliant aye, getting shoved at. Maybe they stole all my beginner’s luck away that’s why I lost man.
But nevermind nevermind, it was money all lost in good fun and besides, Jules owes me 50 ‘cos I won the bet. So that evens out. Whoopeedooo. And seriously, I can’t wait for the next trip to Burswood. Utter fun.
And if you haven’t already figure out where I was at, it was the casino you dimwit.
Yes, I went back to Singapore for slightly more than a week and sadly, I’ve missed out on all the hype that’s been happening here in Perth. The group’s been having lots of fun without me. (tsk) But whatever, Singapore was fun and today’s post is going to just be pictures galore. I’m still too lazy to blog. Haha.
So that was my adventure back in Singapore. Lots of fun, though much of it were silly. Gerald Ho was embarassing at the ice cream parlour cos he did silly stuff like slamming the door against another piece of glass and slapping himself with durian ice cream all over his face. But then again, these are my friends. Haha, what a life huh!
And to Alex and ‘fred, visit lehh. Perth is not as exciting without you guys laaaa. At least I get some metro-ness and more entertainment from y’all. Ask Xiao Yan also!
