back in perth

HAHA... ok i know i have neglected my blog during exams and the hols when i was in sg... but yea.. cannot blame me right..... after all pretty sure u'd rather see me in person than read my crap here......

nice to know the "one hand full" of you still visit this blog .. haha!!

ok.. so i am back in perth now.... weather is ... erm.. hot.... theres no aircon.... my room is getting afternoon sun.. the place i stay has pretty much nothing cause my old room mates have moved out and the new guys have barely unpacked their stuff , let alone fill the place up with bachelor pad worthy items..... the only plus here.... we hav FOXTEL!!! yes .. its cable tv.... no more trekking to other places for sports matches now... haha!!!

went to the driving range today with shane and chester ... was hitting ..i'd say .. pretty well... then we went to cheesy's places for dinner.... it was potbless... so everyone had to bring something... i brought the drinks .. lemon lime bitters.... NON ALCOHOLIC!! thank you very much.... It was nice catching up with everyone again.... especially the med ppl and the high schoolers who had to come back at the end of Jan.

well.... going back to wembley for 9-holes tmr... with shane. Shall be the first of many rounds we will be hitting... I LOVE MY DRIVER !! and my darling 56 wedge... hopefully the putter won't let me down tmr..... will try to get pics haha..

OH !! i'm doing uni mentor this sem...... thought i'd do something during the next 2 weeks .. if not i'd get bored ... or worst... spend all my $$ on golf. hhaha.. which probably isn't a bad thing ... but yea.... going to be a big KOR KOR to some new freshies this sem.... got a "training session" on thurs.... who knows.. may get a "few " pretty young ladies in my group. =P

alrighty... will leave it at that..... I'll try to post more often k..... but yea... we all know i lead a very boring life .... so unless u want to read about all my bitchings, dun expect tooooo much.... .but i'll see wat i can do ok......

BOXING

meant to have posted this last tuesday.......
went boxing with JY on tues night at northbridge..... this is serious boxing ... like the mohammed ali / mike tyson type of boxing.... not the girly aerobic type ......
it was a 2 hr session..... first hr was mainly fitness and endurance..... so all the skipping ropes.. weights... push ups..... circuits..... some fundamental footwork and handwork...... 2nd hr was more technical..... jabbing .... hook.... blocking.... how to slip in and out.... how to watch for a punch... when to go in .... overall... was really fun..... painful... but fun..... its been over a week now.. and my thumb joint still hurts.... hopefully its not a bone..... after that session.. my body was aching for the next 5 days!!!!!
while at the place ( looked like some garage with cages and a ring) ...... looked and round.... and what do u know.... i was like the skinniest person there.... my arms were like chopsticks compared to the rest...... even JY was far more buffed than me..... there was this lady.... HER ARMS WERE BIGGER THAN MINE!!!!!! so embarassing ...... hahaha.....

well.. doubt i'd do it very often.... but the skills and exercises i learned would be very useful.... other than the stuff i learned in MP .... can sort of box now too!! haha.....
its good for the fitness ........ definately recommend to ppl who want to keep fit and toned.......;-)

alright... next topic.... EXAMS ARE IN 3 WEEKS!!!! ARGH!!!!!! finallly its my turn to start mugging....... i feel like i'm behind in all my units....... crap..... my goal for the next 3 weeks..... at least 4 hrs of study outside of tutes and lecs... a day.......

and now..... the news i'm sure all of u have been waiting for......

!!! the prodical one will be returning on the 25 nov!!!!

yes.... i've booked my flight back HOME on the 25 nov.... its a 5pm flight... so should be arriving at 10pm ...?!?!?!!? its like a month and a half away..... damn.... 1 semester gone so fast...
should find some work when i get back.... on the other hand... maybe i should start trading again...... hahah.... $$$$$$$$$ $-)

car car car

yes yes .. i'm going to get a car here in perth..... "going" to....... its mid sem break now...... or more like just a 1 week non-teaching break with crap loads of work and assignments and tests to study for....... ok .. back to the car..... my dreams of a bmw 3 series have finally shattered......
to its down to a $20k car at best.... if i'm lucky.. i might get a vw or a ford focus......... its damn irritatting having to travel around looking at cars........ public transport here is SO ex and SO inconvenient....... the amount i spend on it ..... can top up 1 full tank of petrol at least.......

hopefully i can get the car asap...... really really really need it....... really.....

I really want to go back during my mid sem break....... 7 to 16 sept..... 10 days!!!! summore now got budget flights..... a friend of mine is going back during then..... cause his girlfriend is bugging him to go back........ unlike me where no one can be bothered with me........

really starting to get abit bored here...... back home .. nothing to do..... all there is ... sport... run .... study...... mix ard with the boys in the boarding house.... hardly even have a chance to make new friends in uni...... just go to lecs.... copy the stuff from the screen.... then everyone runs out of the lec...... tutes.... all so quiet.... then all run out of the room..... lunch... all go back to their colleges for lunch..... then poor me here eating with the old "Gang" or alone.

anyways..... really thinking about playing soccer for a club...... but first ... need to get fit again..... went to watch a friend's (chester's) debut for his premier league team..... just being there.. i really wanted to play...... might join next season cause theres only 5 games left...... see how fit i can get in the next few months..... and i'm going to need a car to get to trainings and matches also... ;-)

Finally blogging from my ROOM!!

ok ppl..... since the school just changed ISP .... so far i can get into my blog for now... haha... kk.... juz went to play golf with some old friends this morning.... only went to the driving range though..... we wanted to see how we were hitting the ball b4 we decided if we wanted to play on the course...... YUP YUP i know its a friday..... but i got no uni on fri thanks to my great timetable planning...... and most of my afternoons are free!!!!!... ok o k... so at the driving range, i was doing ok..... still managed to hit my 7 iron about 130m...... the worst thing is that with the 5 iron and the driver, i was only hitting it abt the 150m range which is totally crap........ worst still..... i kept slicing the ball really badly with the driver.... like it travels 130m straight... and another 100m to the right...... the longest i hit today was my 5 wood...... which averaged abt near 200m.. which is good enough for me ....
the 4 of us wanted to fit in 9 holes after lunch.... but thanks to the crappy winter weather, it started raining..... so we posponed it to next wed or fri........ hope can get to play more often!!!! on the way out.... dropped by the golf box store..... wanted to get a golf glove as i forgot to bring mine..... found this pair of white NIKE gloves for just $5!!!!! no thinking needed.... just whip out the wallet and straight for the cashier!!!!! WHAHA!!!!!!
