i dont get how i amassed like 30 plus kgs of shit coming here cos right now, i have a pretty thick stack of clothes for jev to bring back for me and that shit doesnt even weigh 1kg. its mind boggling really.

i think i'm the biggest grouch ever today. poor alvi had to endure my shit all through lunch and coffee and the walk home. i hate being grouchy mcgrouch, but sometimes, and especially in times of sleep deprivation, you cant help yourself. no excuse of course..so alvi my dear, you have my apologies for my bad behavior today :)

in other news, the past 48 hours or so have been spent with jev and sam..its been quite fantastic. another night spent writing..writing and more writing. am in quite the congratulatory mood right now, so yay for me cos i finished one of my essays last night..and i've got one more left. this friday. after which, shopping and clubbing at evo, for the last time.

tear.

waiting to exhale (long, tedious entry alert)

i know this probably isnt the best way to live, but being consciously awake between the hours of 4pm and 9am are about all i can handle right now. its awful, but i am completely unable to do any work when the sun is out.

and that, has been the story of my weekend. staying awake til the sun comes up to write my paper. i usually make a mental note to sleep til about 4 or 5 in the evening, but freaking claud bounces in all happy pappy ready to go, bugging the hell out of me to wake up ("charrrrr wake upppppp...im borreeedddd...play with meeeee") so we sit around and watch videos, eat..you know, the usual nua thing people do. the work starts post dinner, but even then, im running to cyn's room after every half paragraph or so to have a smoke. lets just say that me and productivity are just not meant to be.

still, this weekend was still a pretty awesome one. friday was like alvi day or something (my dear, i appreciate u thinking im maternal and all, but you reckon you could say "fatherly" instead? like please?). lunch, coffee and an entertaining episode of Studying At Baillieu With Alvina, Starburst Chewies Included. lucky alvi had dinner with the blokes (uh, that would be me, cyn and claud) on chapel at la camera. totally delish. after dropping alvi home, cyn, the sweetie that she is dropped me home to pick up my shit for our weekend "study"-fest.

all it all, i think we accomplished quite a fair bit really. grocery shopping, movie rentals (will NOT go into detail what we rented), chicken porridge and laksa, international beer special, skinny lattes and haircuts, all within the confines of the koh residence. i think it comes a close second to my favorite hang out, jev's place. :) thank you my dears for putting up with my mess over the weekend. remember, cheese and bacon balls will take you a long way. and ps, sam really does hate my haircut, so much so that she almost refused to open the door for me.

speaking of sam, i think its pretty incredible how we manage to hold a decent conversation inside a karaoke room. i dont know what i'd do without you. no one to share my missy elliot jokes, and wardrobe malfunction comments, and no one to share an amazing telepathy with..and i mean amazing telepathy..not one of those wannabe "oh my god! i cant believe we BOTH like pink!" sort of bullshit telepathy.

but karaoke was nice. me, sam, oli & friends, jill & housemates. and man, can oli sing.

study session, perhaps, with twinnie tommorow. god knows we both need to start cracking. like NOW. and claud, i think you too, given the shyless amount of sleep you had this weekend. and you too alvi. we can have a wonderful group study session and distract the shit out of each other. now if that isn't perfect, i dont know what is.
