I should be on a plane to Singapore now. But no, I'm now stuck in an Auckland airport hotel, flying to Singapore tomorrow morning, therefore only reaching Kuching on Saturday afternoon.
Quite a bit of unfortunate events had happened lately. My laptop crashed last night, I got less than 2 hours of sleep, my airport shuttle was 40 minutes late, the flight from Dunedin to Auckland had to be delayed from 6.50am to almost 11.00am due to the icy runways, my connecting flight to Singapore had to be rescheduled to tomorrow morning, I am EXHAUSTED.
Yeap icy runways. This has to be the coldest winter yet. Only a few weeks into winter and the temperature this morning dropped to about -10 degrees. Ice covered the runways, the Dunedin airport had to close, and many flights were cancelled or delayed. That created much havoc and frustration at not only the airport, but on the roads as well. The icy roads caused many accidents all throughout Dunedin. Odd thing from all of this was: Still no snow. Weird weather indeed.
Anyway, Air New Zealand was kind enough to provide me free accommodation at a fancy hotel and free rides to and fro to the airport. Food is gooooood. I was expecting a single bedroom, but opened the door to find two beds, a queen and single bed. Muahahaha.
Till then, can't wait to get back to Kuching where warmth is always around.
Psychoagnosia
Ahh the syokness of finishing the last exam. =)
Psychology was so much harder than I expected. 125 multiple choice questions in 3 hours seemed easy before I stepped into the examination room, but every time I flipped a page, my mind thought of another "SHIT". Once I panicked, I totally messed up ventral simultagnosia, dorsal simultagnosia, associative agnosia, apperceptive agnosia, aphasia, apraxia yadda yaddi yadda those technical terms.
Anyway, glad that I won't have to study psychology anymore. Fun and insightful subject by the way. Some people think it's weird that I take up "interest subjects" like psyc111 this semester and musc110 paper next semester, but it's fun mah! heh.
Played Monopoly wif Rebec, Willy and Mr. Chinaman a while ago. haha! Mr. Chinaman went bankrupt, Mr. Indonesia won the match! teehee. I totally forgot how funny it is to play that game, especially with the right people.
Had a lot of free time lately, and so I spent it renovating my laptop desktop. No more geeky taskbar, no more icons, only a pretty objectdock and a few stylish yahoo widgets! =) More songs to download too. Present collection excluding cds and more at home: 3.2Gb. Very de wu liao, I know lah.
My current desktop. Changes very frequently.
Countdown to Kooochiang: Less than 3 days *big grin*

Anticipating
7 days to Kuching! =)
It's beginning to feel more and more like holidays now, though I still have another paper to go on Tuesday. Shucks. About a third of those in the halls have already went back to their hometowns by now. Envy envy. Those that are staying behind continue doing what they're best at- getting drunk, getting drunk, and getting drunk.
Still no snow yet. It better don't snow when I'm back in Malaysia, or else.
World Cup and late night studying is turning me into a nocturnal person. Woke up at 3.45am yesterday morning to catch the England vs Trinidad and Tobago match. Ah the syokness. A black friend of mine danced around when T&T finally scored a goal, and few seconds later when he found out that it was disallowed: "F the referee! F the referee!" Teehee. However, I spent most of the 90 minutes screaming at the sluggish England strikers, namely Stupid Crouch and Lousy Lampard. Teamwork virtually equals zero; England was lucky to get away with a 2-0 win.
Luckily retail therapy cheered me up. Mum called yesterday to confirm our flights to KL for shopping! The air tickets didn't come cheap, but I love her even more that she's willing to sacrifice her time to go shopping with me. Hehe. Might meet up with friends studying in KL if there's extra time for yum cha.
Second convo with ex.
Weird. I can check out the notice by myself anyway. And my friends would have told me that too. Definitely weird. Right?

"You have a parcel."
"Huh?"
"...You have a PARCEL waiting for you."
"Oh. Erm. Oh. Err. Thanks. "

Letting go
This time, I really am letting go. It's been almost 3 weeks since the break up, and yet only until just now had I really let it go. Thanks to a friend who told me exactly what I wanted and needed to hear. Thanks above all to God for giving me the sign that I asked for whether or not he is worth another try. So I guess the final verdict is in: There's just no use crying over spilt milk anymore.
Nothing is ever going to change the fact that he changed my live forever. Nor the fact that he will always be my first love, my first mistake. And for that, I am deeply grateful to the Man above for giving me this experience. In life, there will always be regrets, changes and sacrifices. And when those things happen, you know that you've finally grown as a person.
Lyrics from "Goodbye to you" by Michelle Branch.
Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right
And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time
And when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You're my shooting star
Nothing is ever going to change the fact that he changed my live forever. Nor the fact that he will always be my first love, my first mistake. And for that, I am deeply grateful to the Man above for giving me this experience. In life, there will always be regrets, changes and sacrifices. And when those things happen, you know that you've finally grown as a person.

Dreaming of the days ahead
Now that the horrendous Chemistry 112 paper is over and done with, I can now:
`Join in with the world cup fanatics. My first match to watch: Brazil vs Croatia, 7am tomorrow. Early bird catches the match.
`Get my MeNZB immunisation. I thought I'd escaped from getting the 3 mandatory shots all young people below the age of 20 should get and escape the HORROR of injections, but no. When I received the email telling me that this is my last chance to get immunised "or else", I figured it was best to get it over and done with. My first shot is 11.45am tomorrow, pray for me! (I had a panic attack and nearly fainted during my BCG jab in secondary sch).
`Do some shopping after my injection tomorrow if I can still use my left hand to shop for clothes, that is.
`Finally get to watch XMen3 tomorrow night.
`Sulk about not getting heavy snow yet in Dunedin. Sulk that those in Christchurch got to experience 1 metre of snow! Not fair. Sulks again.
`Start packing. 10 days left before I head home!
`Start studying for my psychology paper. Soon.
`Blog more. Heh.
