- Change is inevitable and adaptation follows suit. The junction approaches, and I'm brought to another phase in life. I'm 23 this year and currently pursuing a course in Professional Communication at RMIT. 3½ years abroad is not that long.. really..

Time flies when you're cutting grass.
I think I should start training again; it gives me more incentive to do gardening. By summer, I'll be able to take off my top and let the blazing sun bake my body till it is golden brown. Together with the heat casting a layer of glazing sweat over me, it could send wondering eyes over as I cut the grass. Bleagh.. Who am I kidding? The garden is in the backyard, no desperate housewives are going to see me from there. Television can be such an influence.
Anyhow, gardening is one tiring job. We don't have a lawn mower here so I had to use a pair of shears instead. I'm contemplating getting my aunt a lawn mower for her birthday or something - Saves me a lot of hassle.
The entire time engaged with cutting grass, I got reminded of detention in my junior college, and confinement in national service - Those were the days. Before I knew it, I was done with the garden. I guess some good came out of it, albeit a backache.
Ever did anything that you felt ruined other people's experience of something? Well I did - Today.
It being the holidays, I thought it'll be nice just to gather outside of class to spend some time. We all went out, shopping! Yes, I can sense the quivering fear tingling down the spines of all you testosterone-filled individuals. It's a never-ending debate and I won't refute that some guys enjoy the activity.
I do feel bad for ruining other peoples' shopping experience. I didn't think that standing outside the shop, or not buying anything would mean that I disliked what I was doing. It didn't matter to me what we were doing, I was actually looking forward to just spending time together.
I was taking a shower when I recalled a conversation with my supervisor before I left the company (Sorry Weiliang, I didn't mean to think of you while bathing). It was a good conversation and something that we covered was that I should not be obliged to do anything that I did not like. The question I should probably ask is if I should have gone for the gathering even though I wasn't going to entirely enjoy shopping, but still want to spend time together.
I guess I know one thing for sure; I'm not someone to go shopping with.
This was the advertising campaign that we did for our Media exam. We were an advertising firm and our teacher was the client. We had to come up with the product, as well as the research, advertisement, website... Basically, a whole advertising campaign and sell the idea to our client. It's quite an experience, and the whole group had fun. There's going to be another similar project at the end of the year; it should be interesting.
One solid week of break! No assignments, no lessons, nothing! My goodness, I was expecting to have some holiday work to do, but there's absolutely nothing!
*Lost.. Not sure what to do*
I'm fairly certain I'll do well for this semester. I know my Psychology grades already and I must say that I'm very satisfied; though a little disappointed with my presentation and my final paper. Nonetheless, I'm still happy. The rest of the subject should be okay.
Damn, haven't blogged in ages. I'll be online more often I suppose; perhaps it's time I start learning to drive. I've been putting that off for like.. God knows how long.
