Surprise!

lol Atleast Christie updated her blog!!

I wonder what is tomorrow gonna be like. After finishing that dreaded assignment, I can't believe we hv exams in a month!! But tomorrow is a day for celebration of course. I'm sure you will enjoy tomorrow :) Michael, you better write a blog

Hi Again

In Sydney ATM lol not that any of you didnt know

Almost been a week since I left Canberra and it already seemed as though time flies! Hmmm I guess it been quite an eventful trip so far. Dont really know how to begin telling you guys or in fact, Im not sure if there is anything worth telling.

It seems as though u guys have been through a lot since we last saw each other too.

One of the most prominent thing I discovered over the past few days that I have way too much and yet I'm not as satisfied as I should be. For example, I got a new laptop and other peripherals which are absolutely more than what average people have or atleast those of my age. Yet, I do not feel the slightest satisfaction or gratitude that should be felt. Sure, I got them with my own money and had to give up getting other things for it, but instead of feeling happy, I wanted more xD Surely, I would need to be a millionaire to satisfy my wants atm... But I guess I will get over this phase soon enough :)

As for the release of mid sem results, all I can say is that I laughed when I saw it and know that there is always room for my to get HD in the final exams. I am satisfied with the result with the amount of effort I put so all is well~

If you guys actually update this more often, that means u Michael, the so will I~

To think that after tomorrow, everything will be cleared is a very mesmerizing thought. I would like to think of it as the end of a heavy rain. Washing away all the diseases, stress, pressure and worries: finally able to go outside and breath the fresh air Canberra has to offer.

Must we really update this blog everyday? Perhaps I will write all the important things, the things you guys want to read from the blog of mine, in a book. And I will give it to you when I leave.

Hope we can get the exam over with with flying colours~

Night before Dawn

With almost all the assignments and exams over, it feels as though we will earn our well deserved breaks very soon!! :) These past few days, my whole body clock has been reversed 180 degrees. But I do find some silver lining working overnight the past 2 times~

Perhaps after all this we can actually talk, stroll, pool and hang out together again :)
To think that after this week, we will be off to different places only to gather again for the next half of the semester. Sometimes it seems like that time is passing by very quickly as everything have just begun. But other times, you would worry about how the next 6 weeks, or 2 and a half years would be like after all the revelations that has already happened or the fact that we see each other every day that would inevitably lead to boredom or drifting apart.

But as Christie said, you would mumble anything and make it sound deep if you are up late into the night xD

Then again, there is so much more things we havent done together and places to explore in Canberra. Maybe up until the day we leave for mid-sem break we may have some fun at civic :P

Crappy blog in the middle of night lol better than none la

Observations

It has been a over a week, 6 days to the rest of us, since you two started dating and the changes it brought seems ever more apparent. Not that I'm complaining of course.

Although it is unorthodox to say that you are lucky to have been sick, I thought there couldn't have been a better moment for you to have fallen ill. I do not think I need to elaborate on the reasoning of that statement but it does affect my ability to observe, as a third person, the changes it has brought upon us. 

I do see the effort you guys put into trying to make this normal for me and I do appreciate that. But at times, the look in your eyes gave it away. What I see in Christie's eyes is sorrow, perhaps knowing that it is now different and that it just doesn't seem to work out just as you hoped it did. From Michael's eyes... well, its very hard to tell from your eyes because they always seem the same to me. But I can tell from your smile that you are now a happier man. 

Either way, we are all too busy these days to know what is normal so don't worry guys, we still have some time before we temporarily part ways and bond just like before.

Good luck to our exams guys!!

Adventure

A week from now, I may be in Sydney once again. Once again, I feel like as though I have gone through yet another life changing adventure and then return home to tell everyone about it. I feel like an adventurer, to go back to my village and tell all those who stayed behind what it was like in the New World. Looking at their fascinated faces, you can't help but smile and tell them how fantastic your journey has been, and luckily, that is exactly how it turned out. 

I'm sure they will ask whether I want to transfer back. I would like to tell them I have an answer to that but I don't know. Perhaps, a better question would be how much I am willing to sacrifice for someone. Sure, going back would bring me status, wealth, more friends, a better living environment, a healthier life, more resources and options and a chance to start a relationship; there isn't much that is holding me back. However, being a person not fond of changes, as I believe there is to be a purpose or lesson to be learnt in every detour or road trip of my life, I am not sure if now is the time to hang up my boots and settle down for a while. Actually, its more like Batman attempting to make the jump in order to return to Gotham City. Knowing that I may completely lose my Law degree, my friends and all that I have here just to go give it a shot. Having such parallels to Batman does make me sound very heroic indeed. :P

So I guess from now until my jump, I will have to train myself to be the very best to face the challenges ahead. Actually, now that I think about it, this really seems like The Dark Knight Rises, except I couldn't find anyone I know to be Bane. So from now on, you guys can call me Batman, Bruce Wayne in public. Just kidding, I don't want to be named after someone else lol

So yea, this little trip back to Sydney is going to be an interesting expedition. If it all goes well, I wont need to fake my death and bump into you guys in a cafe far far away :P

You 2

You guys are officially the worst blogging buddies!!
Seriously, you 2 tell me "Oh, I read your blog today" as though it is an achievement or something and then I would go "Oh, I would have read your blog if you wrote anything on it!!"
.
You guys are lucky you got tonnes of food to share tomorrow night, otherwise I might have post random stuff on you 2's blog :P
It seems things have become much more simple and happy just like the beginning of us, without all the messy things you guys are throwing at each other with me in the middle of the snowfield.

You know what? I won't write anything meaningful until you 2 start blogging again!!

Anyways, hope you get well soon la Christie and seriously get those Butter Menthols!!
And I'm having atleast half of that watermelon Michael!!

Revelations

There isn't any day quite like today. 

It all started with a tiny, yellow post-it note stuck onto my dorm room door. It contained a verse and a warm message from a dear friend. A gentle reminder that I will always have my back covered but little did I know, it signifies the start of an extraordinary day.

Still dazed by a half remembered dream and the thoughtful memo, I found my phone vibrating with a familiar name appearing on the screen. Answering the call without hesitation, I was invited to meet my comrade for a chat ASAP before my first class. Upon examining the notifications on my phone, it appears that two other close friends of mine tried to reach me for a similar agenda. Just as I was about to give up attempting to make sense of the bizarre string of events, a new, unread message popped up. It brought about a revelation I did not anticipate to unfold so swiftly, so unexpectedly. It was an announcement that I know will forever change our lives as we know it, no matter how much we attempt to deny or strive to regress the consequences of fate. Fully equipped with that knowledge, I packed my bag, readying myself for an inevitable and bewildering detour of my uni life. 

I will not bore you with the details of the individual encounters for the supposedly joyous matter, however, it was the attitude of you, my friends, that really surprised me. I discovered through the hidden intentions of my friend that he truly treats me as a brother in heart, a friend who would rather keep all her worries to herself than to reveal how upset and scared she is to me and a formerly nonchalant friend who slowly melts away her coldness and reveals her more thoughtful and caring side.

A day of revelations unfolding after one another... It is like flowers along our path opening up to a Spring morning after the end of the Winter night. I hope you guys will blossom beautifully and magnificently under the gentle sunlight indefinitely knowing that I'm always there as a cloud, unaffected by your growth but aloft to complete the picture.

Start of a new week

Can't believe its Week 6 already!!
All of you seem a little bit different today lol
The fact that I'm the only one who blogged today further proves my observation xD

Oh boy....
Just discovered something that made me chuckle and realised what we are all in for :P
Maybe I will tell you guys about it this thursday xD

Good Luck to our test tmr!!

1 Day

1 day, 24 hours by myself isn’t something you would expect to experience while living in a hall. As unlikely as it is, so much has happened since I last saw you guys. After contemplating over the new-found knowledge of this past day, I realized that I have yet to apply for UAC. Unfortunately, it is very typical of me to find solutions to a problem instead of taking a step back and review the whole situation. After all, it is the result that matters the most. Therefore, I have until the release of UAC offers to get a hold of everything happening here.

Perhaps it’s because I always seem to be carefree and quick-witted that you wouldn’t expect to find me preoccupied in thoughts (hence you guys always entrust me with issues). But when I do, I would look more lost than when I take off my glasses.

Anyways, thanks for continuously bothering me during our today guys, otherwise, I wouldn’t have stepped on duck shit and realize it too  :)
