Serendipity

I haven't been updating regularly at all. I haven't been writing in my diary either. There's no record of anything at all since the time i arrived bacn in adelaide except the past little entries. I hate myself now for not writing anything. It seems like ive been back for an extremely long time, but its only been 3 weeks. 3 weeks isn't a long time is it? I guess depends on how you look at it.

Week 1 was just... empty. i did nothing i guess. it was a week of enjoying the cool weather, getting myself used to the adelaide life, appreciating silence and being alone. It's quite refreshing after living with my family for 3 months. But i miss being home. Apart from being around family, there's so much less to do at home. Especially since we were on holidays which gives more reason to not help out in house chores. :)
and the shopping... i never thought i'd get sick of it, but i had to do a bit too much. But that feeling of being sick of shopping only lasted a while, and now back in adelaide i feel like shopping again. haha. :)

Uni started in week to and the temperature skyrocketted to 37 degrees Celcius average. it hasn't gone down since and i'm waiting for wednesday when (fingers crossed) it will cool down to the low 30's. First week of uni was also Unilife Uweek, which is when clubs and associations get to promote themselves and get members. So i spent some time with that, and of course getting to classes and sorting out my timetable which is quite confusing this year with people going to practical classes on alternate weeks and stuff.. i can't just follow people anymore. hehe. At the end of the week, i spent some time meeting friends...

After that was an entire week of PANIC about planning a trip to Gold Coast, and the General Meeting for the malaysian students association scheduled for 14th March since our last committee meeting last year.
So there we were today at 12pm, after sitting through another meeting before uni started, and sending gazillions of emails over the week.. and there was 2 people sitting in the room waiting for the meeting to start. 2 people. at 12pm. for a meeting that was supposed to start at 12.
Thankfully, about 15 mins later more and more people came and started to fill up the room. Trust the malaysians to come on time... we finally started the meeting at 12:30pm and im proud to say, (aside from the late start, which was expected, so it wasnt too bad) it was a very successful meeting, and considering it's the first thing we (the new committee) organised we're very happy at how well it went. :) and i also spoke in front of a pretty reasonable sized group of strangers. it was quite satisfying. on top of that we managed to get 2 people who actually want to be on the committee to fill up the 2 vacant positions, and got a bunch of new members and i think some people are actually interested in the gold coast trip. maybe we can get 10 people (or more!) to go. hopefully... then we don't have to cancel it and we'll all have a good time.

o right, since i got back i also got myself a job at hungry jacks, found somewhere to do my pharmacy work experience (which im starting tomorrow), opened a new bank account, sold off last year's textbooks, met some new students, and heard about some juicy gossip stories... lol.

i think it's a pretty good start to the year. dont you think? :)

keep checking. i will update.

Finally, something to keep you all amused:


I just got back from singapore and i was alone. you can't blame me... ;)

p/s: i know this whole post has nothing to do with the blog title. I just watched the movie and i loved it, and serendipity is such a pretty word.
