Woot!
I almost gave my dad a heart attack today.
I told him my test score would be out at 5, and once I got it I tried calling him but he was in a meeting. Obviously his secretary didn't pass on the message, cause he didn't call back! Then, during the Biggest Loser, he messaged my mom asking "He didn't do well is it?".
So I decided to April Fool him! :P
Daddy...I got 5%!
What? How much?!
Yep...5%...lima peratus
Only that? What happened?!
Mum : RUWAN! DON'T DO THAT!
Aih...I got 5% over 5% la!
Oohhh!
Hahah :) I got full marks, which means I have now got 5% towards my future grade! Yay!
Business Law is gonna slaughter me tomorrow though. Shit.

Pointless Filler
Oh no.
I get the results of my Microeconomics test in 53 minutes! It's the first test in my uni life and is worth 5% of my total semester grade. The questions were quite tricky, but Econs is my domain so I'm scared :(
(If Econs is my domain I shouldn't be scared right? It's more like my friends think it's my domain and so I have this urge to try and not embarass myself when they inevitably ask how I did.)
49 minutes
I'm currently trying to study for my Business Law test which is tomorrow. After proclaiming my love for it a few posts ago, I have something to prove for that too. AAAHHH. It's not as easy as it looks OK?
44 minutes
Wish me luck. Damnit.

5 more days.
I can't take it anymore.
I can't handle it - there's too much stuff to handle, from assignments pouring in at a faster rate then they go out to having to cook, buy, clean, walk, tram....and it's so lonely you just can't imagine. I guess coming here was a mistake after all.
And besides I haven't paid the remainder of my fees yet.
Maybe I'll be back, since my apartment lease lasts for 6 months anyway. But I've got the green light from my parents, so I'm flying back with my mom on the 6th. I could only get a Business class seat on the plane, so the price is so killing me. But anyway, time to pack.
I'm coming back

A funny story
During the aforementioned drama dinner, I found out N's husband's education history. He went to Uni of Sydney to read law but didn't attend lectures or anything for the first semester. Once he slept for 2 days straight after struggling with an assignment and missed his final exam!
In order to resit the exam he told the uni that he had a drug problem and was in his recovery stages! Hahaha. They let him resit the test and pass up the assignment late.
In his second semester he decided to drop out, and then spent a year travelling around the world to do rock climbing. After that he went to ANU to do a Bachelor of Arts and then his Masters. He's been working for IBM, and after all these years he's been posted for 2 years to Japan.
He has inheritance anyway, so I guess he can afford to do what he did. And his current job is quite rewarding too! But seriously, isn't that just plain weird?
Or maybe it's just plain Aussy.

Misfortune
Speaking of losing things...
One of the most helpfulcousins aunts I've had in Melbourne is leaving to Japan for 2 years tomorrow. A week before I left for Sydney she invited me over for dinner with A.S2 and U.S2. It was a night of good food, good humour, and embarrasing videos.
When U&A S2 heard I got to Clifton Hill by train, they insisted on dropping me back at my apartment, and so on the way out I checked to see if my key was with me when I realised MY WALLET WASN'T THERE! You should have seen the pandemonium that ensued. I had 2 credit cards, an ATM card, $150 and all my medical cards, my driving license and IC copy etc inside.
I knew I had got off from the train with it, but it had just disappeared into thin air! I checked the car twice, but couldn't spot it. Meanwhile U&A S2's young daughter was getting really sleepy and cranky. After 20 minutes I gave up, and N gave me $50 incase I needed anything.
Suddenly, N saw the wallet on the side of the road, next to the car!!!! It had fallen out when I got out of the passenger seat! I was sooo relieved I couldn't even say thanks.
But that's not the end of misplacing things.
I got out of the car at my apartment, and suddenly realised I misplaced my pass key. Oh gosh. I was so afraid to call the S2's cause it was so troublesome, but I did, and they made a round and came back and thank God, it was there. SUCH A BAD IMPRESSION!
Aargh. Poor me. But the next day, N dropped by with a brand new $50 Kenwood rice cooker + steamer set for me! And she insisted on me keeping the $50 she had loaned me. Yay! So it all ended on a happy note.
2 weeks later and I haven't misplaced anything! :)

Disaster!
Tragedy struck again the next day, on the 18th, exactly one month after I arrived in Melbourne (and lost my Ipod). I LOST MY PHONE!
My beloved reads-out-my-text-messages-all-the-time phone! Boo hoo! It dropped out of my pocket during my Micro lecture. I realised it on the way out, so left my bags at my tutorial and CROSSED THE ENTIRE CAMPUS AGAIN to the lecture theatre, only to realise another class had gone in.
I didn't want to walk back to my tute cause by the time I reached there it would be time to leave again. So I just wandered around outside the theatre drawing suspicious glances from this girl who was sitting outside studying. Finally, 20 minutes into the lecture I mustered up my courage and entered the 200 odd capacity hall.
Heads swivelled around as I made my way to the front row and proceeded to check under people's legs and stuff. No phone. I retreated back up and waited for the lecture to finish.
Meanwhile, I had a HIMBO moment.
I asked that girl if I could borrow her mobile to text Ching Ching (cause I wanted her to jaga my stuff in the tutorial). I typed out the message, and then I realised I didn't know Ching Ching's number by heart "=.=
Me : Err...it's OK, I forgot her number...so yeah...
S.G. : Er. oh. ok. no problem.
So now I had another worry on my head. But I waited and entered the theatre as everyone was leaving, and searched for 5 minutes - it was gone. I decided to go get my books from tutorial, when suddenly I noticed Ching Ching struggling with two bags and lugging my stuff walking towards me. Phew. I then went to Three to get my new sim and cancel my old one. Don't worry, I still have the same number.
Oh, and it was obviously stolen, cause inside the theatre you dont get reception. So at first all the calls were bounced back, but then it STARTED RINGING! And after 15 minutes, it got turned off. Stupid idiot. WAIT TILL I BLOCK MY PHONE THEN YOU CAN'T USE IT AT ALL!
Three gave me this replacement phone to use for a month. As soon as I exited the uni though, the battery died "=.= And I was supposed to be meeting Sara and Nick for lunch! I went to Ching's house to charge it, but then realised they hadn't given me the charger. So I had to go all the way back, and get it.
Then I went home, and after 5 minutes realised the charger didn't work. SO I HAD TO GO BACK AGAIN! Finally I got another phone, and it worked OK.
And by the time I rang my parents, they had already found out I lost my phone from Ching. Hahaha. Such a kill joy. I wanted to rant!
But anyway, now I'm using my malaysian phone which is relatively new anyway...I bought it in September. It's also offered free on the cap, so I guess it's as good as my lost one EXCEPT WITHOUT READING-TEXT-MESSAGES-CAPABILITIES!
So anyway, yeah, I ffk-ed Nick and Sara. My first ffk :D Sigh. So I still haven't tried Nando's - it's supposed to be better here. Anyone wanna teman me? :)
