It was all good when we were at Rottnest Island but we received a really, really bad news the night we got back to Perth. One of our friends who used to stay in KV, got washed away by the King waves at Albany on Saturday. Two actually but one managed to get back to shore. The scary thing is, I was going to go with them if I had not choose to go to Rottnest. He is still missing. Everyone is pretty upset, especially Bhavna as they were closer.
On a separate incident, I lost 70% of my summer clothes. Including all my towels, one blanket, all my socks, all my bikinis, all my mini denim skirts, all my dresses, most of my shorts and some tops; many of them were my favs. At least 5 pieces of them were news and were only worn once. Oh my laundry basket and 2 bottles of detergent as well. I am not exaggerating when I use the word “all” and its a lost of about $2000aud in total and I am not exaggerating as well. My heart is aching.
It all happened when I put my clothes into the dryer at the laundry room and set it to dry for an hour. Then I left the laundry room. When I went back 45 minutes later, all my clothes were got. The thief even transported my clothes with my own laundry basket with two bottles of detergents in it. Btw, only residents have access to the laundry room. I am still VERY upset. Like, VERY VERY upset.
Going to see Maroon5 later and hopefully it will draw my Easter holiday to a better end. Will blog about Rottnest soon. I took 400+ pictures o.O
Pray for me that my friend is safe somewhere out there, okay? And also pray for me that my clothes will come back to me or that the thief’s hands will rot.

I was trying to write a serious piece of entry but everything I typed appeared stupid and shallow. What has become of me? I really want to be able to write like how I used to. The ability to express my feelings precisely with wider a choice of vocabulary. I dont know what has happened to me. Is it my memory that is playing tricks on me or is there a change in my perception?
I enjoyed writing because I thought that way, my feelings could be understood better by others. Do I no longer need others to understand my feelings or do I no longer have complex feelings that need to be expressed?
I have been very happy recently and this could be the most relaxed period of my life since a long time. It is so blissful that I wish the clock could stop ticking so I can remain at this state and not move on. But of course I would have to face whatever that is going to be thrown at me, it is only inevitable.
For the first time in my life, I have a practical and realistic plan for myself. It is a plan I could see myself through and stand triumphantly at the other end and I am going to do it. It is also a plan to achieve one of my dreams. I have always wanted to be a psychologist and I could still be. I have decided to take a PostGrad Dip in Psychology after I graduate with a degree in Bachelor of Commerce. 5 years after, I can be a registered Psychologist. It is my dream and this time, I will make it.
I am going to Rottnest Island with Bhav and a few friends later and will be coming back on Tues. I am supposed to wake up in 4 hrs and I am still awake. Goodnight people. Do not give up on your dreams because someday, you will get your chance to achieve it.
and I was the second last human to die! And humans lost.
*sigh*
But it was all fun! I am definitely playing it again next semester and I want to be a zombie next semester! Heres are some random pictures we took throughout the game. There will be a small award ceremony later at 7pm for prizes such as best human, best zombie, best weapon and so on. Free food again! So nice.
It was a really cool game. We were given an index card with our identification on it and we’ll have to give it to the zombie who tags us. We were also given an orange bandana to identify that we’re playing the game. The zombies have to tie it either around their head or their neck and the humans around their hand/arm or leg. We would have to look around whenever we get out of the house, even when we are at the uni! We had to hold onto our socks and guns all the time to protect ourselves from zombies. It was especially fun when we have to chase and stun zombies when we’re at uni! Everyone would just look at us with question marks popping up around their heads.
Pictures!
Mini mission on day 2 at uni
Spot me!

It was really fun
Bhav and Val had nothing better to do
Yes. We were really bored.
Hehe..
I love Bhavna so much Its like we have the same minds besides the fact that she is meaner than I am I am so glad to have found her here! I cannot imagine life here without her. Really. By the way, Easter break officially starts for me, right now! Will be going to Rottnest Island on Monday with friends. Its like all of a sudden my life becomes much more happening. Vegard’s second house warming party the previous Saturday(which I miseed for HvZ), Kenny(M’sian friend) invited me to his house warming party, Vegard invited me to go to Albany over the weekend which I politely declined(Bhav wont be going and it would clash with Rottnest) and Maroon5 concert next Friday! Then there’s another house warming party the next Saturday.
I just realised how that I am writing like a primary school kid. The sentence structures and the vocabs etc are so childlike. Will try to write like an adult the next entry!
Sorry for the lack of updates! Been busy with assignment and the ongoing Humans v Zombies game in my hostel! I am still a human! Bwahaha! Bought myself a toy gun and attached 12 socks to my belt to protect myself! Got attacked twice last night but I stunned both the zombies! So happy. Okay, if you didnt read the link, you wont understand what I am talking about!
The uni guild organized a free bbq for housing students on Monday, for free! Here are the pictures!
Sponsored by RedBull, Pepsi and Dominos! Theres a pizza eating competition at the end as well lol. RedBull not only set up at shed but also brought some bean bags for us. So nice right! It was pretty fun

I went to Adventure World with my village and it was FUNNNNN!!! I will definitely go back again with Bhavna and the rest as Bhavna didnt get to go this time cause she had to work. Its a water theme park with mostly water rides and it was fun!
I started off going riding the cable car first and I freaked out I didnt want to go one but got dragged up there *sobs*
Then then water rides!! It was so fun! And the previous line is totally an understatement! One drawback though. We had to queue for every ride as all the rides are free, just had to pay the entrance fee. $28AUD, which was totally worth it.
But I kinda hurt my elbows during one ride and they still hurt now =\
I got so tanned! When I wanted to get a proper tan I didnt get, and now I have this uneven tan lines that I really dont like!! *sigh* Cant wait for winter; I want to wear my new winter clothes!!
I didnt take a lot of pics though cause I didnt want to carry my camera everywhere.

Highly recommended by me.
Gone away are the golden days
Just a page in my diary
So here I am a utopian citizen
I’m still convinced
There’s no such thing as idealism
Memories they’re following me like a shadow now
And I’m dreamin’
Cause I’ve already suffered the fever of disbelief
I’ve seen your act
And I know all the facts
I’m still in love with who I wish you were
It ain’t hard to see
Who you are underneath
I’m still in love with who I wish you were
And I wish you were here
I was true as the sky is blue
I couldn’t soon say the same for you
So now I find denial in my eyes
I’m mesmerized by the picture that’s in my mind
Tell me when I’ll finally see your shallow heart
For what it is
‘Cause I don’t want to keep on believin’ in illusions
No no no
Cause I’ve seen your act
And I know all the facts
I’m still in love with who I wish you were
It ain’t hard to see
Who you are underneath
I’m still in love with who I wish you were
I wish you were here
Sometimes I can’t explain
And I’m so sorry that I can’t
I’ll try to concentrate
On your true identity
Cause I’ve seen your act
And I know all the facts
I’m still in love with who I wish you were
It ain’t hard to see
Who you are underneath
I’m still in love with who I wish you were
I’ve seen your act
And I know all the facts
I’m still in love with who I wish you were
It ain’t hard to see
Who you are underneath
I’m still in love with who I wish you were
I wish you were here… Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I wish you were here… Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I wish you were here…
I wish you were here…
I wish you were here…

I missed the Beach Bash last nigh
I initially didnt want to go so I didnt get the ticket and I changed my mind hours before the beach bash started but it was already too late….
So a few of us went to flat 42 and played cards instead. Then suddenly Danny from US suggested playing the “penis ” game, which is another drinking game.
I didnt really want to drink but since everyone else was drinking, I might as well.
What a bad decision.
I downed my vodka cruiser in what seemed like 10 mins cause I kept getting stupid cards
Then they started to splash water, IN the flat! Gila one. I then passed out on their couch for a few minutes before heading back to my own flat. On our couch, I think I passed out for half an hr. Like totally passed out lo. Was supposed to spend some time with Vegard when he visited our flat but I didnt hear anything at all. Lol.
Then Hugo woke me up and wanted to put me to bed. I ended up in the toilet, throwing up. It was all reddddd… Cause I had spaghetti bolognas e for dinner… and my cruiser was red
Thank God for my housemates. Lizzine made me tea and asked me to eat an apple, said its going to help. After that Hugo put me to bed and here I am now, with no hangover, blogging about this tragedy at 8.51am.
I remember Bhavna coming to my room last night, telling me how much I have missed out and what happened at the Beach Bash. Apparently everyone who knows Bhav and I asked for my whereabout as Bhav and I are usually inseparable. How cute! Oh well. I will make sure I wont miss the next one! =\

I am addicted to playing Rummy! Have been bugging people to play with me and we’ve played a few nights in a row… I won 10 out of 16 games of 3 person last night
This semester has been really fun so far, met more people compared to last semester and most of them are really nice Coursework is still manageable, nothing too crazy yet.
Went to the movie on Tuesday and the movie was crap. CRAP. But I enjoyed going out with my housemates They are such a funny bunch. I am very glad that although Helen has moved to another flat, our bond still remains. Went to her room after the movies with Bhavna to gossip(hehehehe) with John and it felt so good catching up with them! John is my classmate for Ethics in Business, btw.
I am also taking two Human Resource Management units and Industrial Relations. I have 9 research assignments altogether, much better compared to last semester’s 13 -_-
I am so glad to have found her here! I cannot imagine life here without her. Really. By the way, Easter break officially starts for me, right now! Will be going to Rottnest Island on Monday with friends. Its like all of a sudden my life becomes much more happening.
