sometimes when asked of what sports do i play. i have to pause for a little while to think what sports in the world can i actually do. alright ten years ago, seriously i'll just say badminton without hesitation. now, i don't think i can even hold a badminton racquet right. five years ago i would say swimming. now, i bet i can still say swimming but unfortunately it is not something i do very often now so obviously everything goes really awkward after being on a long hiatus. i need to start getting active again...like seriously. i feel like i'm going to die real young. *touch wood!* plus i sit in front of the computer for far too long. this is abnormal and it's really bad. i know.

so 2 weeks ago? i went snorkeling with nsa and kcm. YAY for that~! where was it? see when things are overdue you just have to think real hard to retrieve the information. oh..Queenscliff that is. had a short drive there from Melb CBD.


the awesome one! weehehehehe....

well, it wasn't that short in fact we were running a little late..lucky enough the boat didn't leave us behind! kidding~ i mean the preparation before getting on the boat is rather tedious. have to try on jumpsuit, flippers (omg kcm and I needed kid-sized flippers..! yay to small feet =.=") and for me, prescriptive goggles. hah!



front deck of the boat! so awesomeeee~



they left me struggling for minutes to grab the snorkel gears. (ㅠ.ㅠ) you know the boat is rocking, I'm not tall plus it was stuck.

getting in the water at first was really. oh. my. gosh. it was cold. and i was so uncomfortable with the damn flippers. i don't know how to swim with it. i lost my flexibility to move and turn around. it doesn't help going against the water current. it felt more like a burden for the first ten minutes at least. but it was alright after that. fuhhh~

first stop was at this Popes Eye (don't ask me what's with the name i don't know?) shallow marine park. it's almost like a horse-shoe-shaped-fortress. well it wasn't that shallow but hell, it smells like hell. i just hope hell doesn't smell like that. HAHAHA. holy crap i don't even know what's with the strong smell. urgh..it's okay. once the snorkel gear is on, we breathe through the mouth. alright..doesn't sound too pleasant but still. you sort of forget the fact that the smell is there, just because you're now breathing through your mouth, it's all good. relax. anyway, all i see in this marine park was..seaweed/kelps/algae?! whatever you call them. loads. tonnes of them. it's like a forest of kelps? good dose of iodine there i guess. honestly i wasn't paying much attention to the fishes, the kelps were so distracting i feel like chopping them off...i don't know? sorry but I absolutely cannot identify some of the pretty fishes. that's a shame.

Next! please embrace yourselves for another stinky as hell destination; Chinaman's Hat. ah..should have took pictures here, why didn't I? i must be so overwhelmed by the smell. sorry my lovely fur seals, i really wanted to take pictures of you bunch, but you smell so bad i just totally forgot about the existence of my camera at that time. for my reader's sake. bear with me because I'll then have to pick a picture from Google to show you what in the world Chinaman's Hat is.



best picture from Google of Chinaman's Hat @ Port Philip. I really would love to say I love love love swimming with them but..that's not particularly the case because i totally almost peed in my wetsuit when one swam right beneath me at a distance of no more than 5 meters i swear. you know, i love animals alright. but the thing is when I'm this close I don't feel good because it's like me trespassing their territory and I know they have every right to bite/nose punch/fin slap/kill or do whatever they want to me. like it or not, there it was in the news just few days ago these seals bit the crap out of some tourists. but anyway, it was quite an experience..!

now on our way to meet and greet the dolphins! it was quite a journey so we tried out some random activity. nsa tried it out first because we both were reluctant to go.





but we tried it after much persuasion. HAHAHA. we're totally nuts. it was good, it feels like a massive bubbly water spa. Then after that was the interesting part, yet the most torturous part. i'm not going to elaborate further because i don't know how to describe the 'process' of being pulled by a boat-having to hold on tight to a bloody rope as if my life will perish if i accidentally let my hands slip off the rope. great. later that night. my arms were totally oh crap, even words cannot describe how intense the pain was. not exaggerating. anyway back to the dolphins..





oh my god, why are they so cute?! why are they so sleek?! so graceful. so intelligent. so joyful. so free. impressively beautiful mammals..please give them much love.

i guess i did well for tonight's post. it's 2.15 am and i shall really hop onto my bed.

oh i'm back!

I've no reason, not to update my blog. i have all the time in the world now. great. so i will do that.

maybe i should update a little on my Sydney trip~! (i know this is way overdue but ... )

don't you get all excited traveling with friends seriously. somehow the idea just makes me happy. alright I'm crazy. anyway..I'm not going to go all wordy here because i think i should just caption some pictures instead.



as much as i thought darling harbour does have some resemblance to the southbank promenade in melbourne. something is really missing along the southbank promenade; Hurricane's Grill~! HAHAHA..seriously the thought of it makes me salivate .. and that's why i decided not to post picture of the ribs itself here. not a good idea huh... :P



George St. it's a pity we didn't spend much time strolling along this major street of Sydney..most of the time we just walked right across the street trying to get to somewhere. trying to catch the bus. trying to get to darling harbour. etc etc..but anyway, shopping wasn't on our priority list during the trip..so yeah that explains it.

so here's an incident. we (or maybe it was just me..) wanted to go whale watching. so bad. alright. and we were pretty late after lunch. the only option was to get on a speed boat. in fact we were quite indifferent whether we should go whale watching on a damn speed boat after a full on lunch. i mean seriously. but anyhow, we got on...how unlucky, one of the two engine broke down, damn...it's not safe to travel on just one engine for a speed boat it seems. fine. after some discussion, we thought we might return the next morning on a larger boat this time...so we eventually did, which is good. i mean i thought we were going to abandon the plan to whale watch..you see, my friends aren't as excited as i was about the whole whale watch thing. i probably think they took pity on me and went with it anyway. so yeah. HAHAHA. ah no, that shouldn't be the case...because we didn't have much left to do anyway. let's just keep it that way..

so, what was my whale watching experience like? first sighting, i only got to see water blowing out from the blowhole. second sighting, i saw the fluke but it was goddamn FAR. few random sightings where whales were just swimming close to the surface but nothing like WOW-OMG-WOW-OMG, nothing of that sort... you get the point. plus it wasn't anywhere near...also it wasn't particularly pleasant towards the end honestly because i got extremely seasick at one point i almost died. never in my life have i been seasick, so this is my first experience. i've always wondered how in the world people get seasick when it's so freaking fun with the boat rocking left right front back. it's like a swing. just on water....alright in my face. people do get seasick. real bad. HAHA. my friend, call her Pav, she actually puked ten times. not even joking. oh crap. little did I know i was the next one. not as serious but still it was hell on water. i was sitting down and suddenly i just need to collapse on someone, so i just leaned against dd. sometimes you just think it can't happen to me but you know, it does. anyway i felt better when i'm back on solid ground. my legs went all wobbly and jelly-like. got much better after having a meal in ChinaTown..yes i still can eat after being so sick. i must be a fat ass. no doubt.



who goes to sydney without having a good look at the Sydney Opera House? well, as majestic as it looks. i wish they can scrub clean the opera house to make it look a little polish..it's definitely not as pretty up close. sorry but it's just a thought...HAHA



was trying hard to selca (self cam) using dslr. it's not easy. sigh as much as i think having to carry a dslr is quite fun, but you know when you have to be out the whole day and already tire from all the walking talking carrying clicking whatever it is..it drains and consumes at least part of my energy having to carry an extra 0.5kg. but I'm not going to abandon it just yet. hopefully? ^^""



oh my God. i love decent breakfasts. that was from a cafe, near Manly beach..hmm the crispy bacon!! *screams*
ah...i need to get my ass out here in melbourne for some breakfast. maybe i'll do it tomorrow. yay!

i'm sorry readers but because this is such an overdue post i totally have no idea about the sequence of events which took place. yeah that's what happens when you delay posts.

so yeah it's just a mini post on my Sydney trip. those are just bits and pieces from my trip and i just randomly picked some pictures and work with it. but at least something. i might be the worst blogger out there but you know, i like working at my own pace *winks* (just trying to cover up my laziness...)

please wait for my next post. dolphins watching this time! now this is going to be fun... :D

have a lovely evening everyone.

2 AM.

and i feel like there's a need for pancake.



I saw a coupon in MX newspaper this evening and saw a 35% Borders coupon for children's book. suddenly I remembered this wordless book-pancake for breakfast. I browsed through once in borders before and found it really interesting how you can totally understand what's going on without the need for words. in fact it's up to your imagination and interpretation as to what exactly is going on. \(^.^)/

my concentration power is at its worst.

good night world.

let me try to keep this blog alive.

i lost passion.

it's sad because i used to love blogging. seems like my passion for it is dying. or died i don't know. i will try to revive my blog.

end of the semester already. how quickly time passes i don't know. i'm extremely unprepared. unprepared for what?! e.v.e.r.y.s.i.n.g.l.e.s.h.i.t that's flying right towards my face. i can already smell it. there you go...imagine the smell. the sight. whatever..disgusting i know but that explains it.

i honestly never really want to complain my life sucks. because i know that's not fair. i know somewhere, near or far. there are people who're having far worse problems than i do. correct? plus people around me usually smile at me and say..ahhh 'eunice your life is so awesome..' and so i go like 'yeahhh right heeeheehehehe...' as contradicting as it sounds but yea my life is not THAT bad, but it's not that awesome. really.

alright, i think i sound a little emotional here....take a deep breathe and *fuhhhh~*

what am i up to these days...? it's my final semester, i am keeping myself slightly busy. just slightly. ah, why do i choose to do that only in my final semester.

as much as i hate exams and assignments. i really want to stop the time. or rewind time.
as much as i am excited to graduate i still want to rewind time. omg why am i such an ass i don't know. fucksake. i'm already 21 but i cannot behave or think like one. (ㅠ.ㅠ)

let's jump to another topic.



dear jaejoong, dear JYJ. why...why in the world do you have to go to Malaysia when I am NOT THERE. you just have to make my life even more miserable...



oh nonono. this is too distracting. i need to bloody get back to my work.

i have millions of journals to read or i'm never going to finish my literature review. fml.

another thing. oh my lord. it's not even winter anymore, weather's getting warmer (i even wake up sweating sometimes). weird enough, i have to lift myself up in the morning like i have to lift 13500 tonnes of metal. yeah that's the weight of the world's largest digging machine. don't believe me? go google.

how great. someone explain to me. why.

a bit exhausted.

working on my final assignment for the semester but i just can't seem to progress as quickly as i would love to.

it's the final week of uni already~ study break officially starts for me. oh wait. not officially but semi official i guess because i still have an assignment due monday. damn...everyone's busy studying and i'm still stuck in my own world. that's...not exactly a good news.

i've been sleeping really late these days that i think it's extremely unhealthy. sometimes i just stay up for nothing(of course i'm suppose to be either studying or doing assignment,sometimes i can't help but do random things) and it's really hard to drag myself up in the morning. i need a little self control. sigh...what can technology do to a person. sigh.

been spending more time in the library than ever for the past few days. i guess this routine will continue till i finish my final exams. but i'm so tired i just drop dead in the library. i want to study at home but i just cannot. oh and my laptop is giving me major problem as well. it's just distracting the hell out of me with its massive vibration and noise. i want to turn it off. but how am i suppose to work on my assignments then?!?!

i shall not waste your time further. as well as mine.

i want to go winter shopping! i desperately need a decent jacket. i've been eye-ing on one. :P

good night world.

Friday, May 14, 2010

it's getting cold.

winter air.

i can feel the coldness piercing through my skin straight into my bones. okay now that's exaggerated but hey!

life..can't get anymore boring than this. (=.=||)

and some people just do not have a sense of urgency i don't understand why. but i'm no psychologist so i need not know why. it can be frustrating ...*deep sigh* chill. it's ok. or it's going to be ok.

one more month! till my finals....excited?? oh hell...i'm not even 0.01 % ready. ey...one more month...relax please. but by the time i finish all my assignments i only have 9 days. that's like a week?! no i will not torture myself like this. i better start managing my time well. hmmph!

oh found a really cute image online day before..omg it's super cute maybe i should share it.

okay now don't ask me what the hell are the two conversing because i don't know?!?!
HAHA. it probably goes like this??
stone: i'm scared?? you go~
nut: have some courage!!
but anyway it doesn't matter, i just thought they're cute.

i really shouldn't be blogging. but i cannot bear to see my blog as dead as the deserts of Sahara..uhh..(o.O|).???!! does it even make sense?? omg what am i talking about...

okay back to assignments.

(ㅠ.ㅠ)
