New Soul - Yael Naim

Its time for a few updates before i burn my whole weekend studying chemistry for the 3rd test already. i din do well for the 1st, did well enough for the 2nd, and now i gotta nail this one and the next 2 so that i can earn the easiest 20 marks of my final grade. i was just telling him how much i missed my life in seri, cos it was really so easy compared to what i'm doing now. i love it that i'm here getting my degree in another country, but i'm starting to feel the pressure now esp now that i'm gonna move out soon. did my finance check yesterday, oh boy, i gotta find another job real soon... I am currently working as a part time teaching assistant at kumon, ya they have kumon here in aussie. and it pays alright, but i've only got 5 hours so i still gotta find another job. hope i dont overdo it, but anyway i have no other choice. everyone's planning to leave perth for the june holidays, travel to melbourne and brisbane. sometimes it makes me sick to hear them talk so nonchantly about it like as if money grew on trees. oh well, guess its my turn to be the poor one. but its ok, cos come june holidays when i work my butt off, i will have so much money to last me thru sem 2. sem 2 is gonna be busy busy cos i'll be taking 5 modules. good luck to me!

i was on my way to school yesterday, when i just felt like everything around me was nice. i reached sch 1/2 an hr earlier, so i went to get some hot chocolate since it was so cold... its autumn now. very soon it'll be very much colder and all my winter hoodies will be out. i walked across my big field and as i turned one round, i felt good knowing that i'm where right where i wanted to be. felt nice and i felt like lying flat in the middle of the field and watching the clouds roam by.. perth is a beautiful country.

yesterday's lab was very interesting, i did something i have never seen or done before. we were able to physically see and touch DNA strands as we wound it around this glass rod. it was so weird, it looked like very thick white mucus spiderweb. haha. it was all sticky and it was so cool to extract DNA. haha. and then there was a small fire, where someone broke a glass of ethanol near the bunsen flame. drama man. haha.

then it was the weekend again, and here i am trying to procrastinate cos i'm too bored to study about acids and bases and pH and pKa and log H+ and all that other beeswax.. but well, its the only thing i can do.. so i wont complain.

last nite i had a bad dream, dreamt that i went back to spore to surprise visit my family to see that they've all packed their bags ready to go somewhere else and mum was not caring one bit about me. was crying so much asking her not to leave me. and i woke up with a jolt and rememebered where i was. been having these bad missing dreams a lot lately.

oh well, i miss my friends, my sheltered life and spore food. when i called him last nite and he was at the art cafe, i really felt a pang in my heart.. miss everything and everyone...
