So far....

I know I ve been quite slack in posting my blogs, but sometimes no mood lah. Anyway, today is a good day to blog. Its raining like hell outside and I am a bit drunk on a cocktail of U2, Coldplay, Bryan Adams and The Corrs, while doing my damn lab reports as well as preparing for my Bioethics presentation tomorrow, which is on veal. Check the site www.noveal.org So far all is good, manage to avoid procrastinating this week n avoid being buried in a pile of work. Dissections going well. Just found that I can take the live greyhounds from the vet hospital for walks. So every thurs, a few 1st yr vets including myself take them for walks. I got a nice fella by the name of Jester. Wah its heaven. we even tested their running, walau these fellas can run man. Also playing badminton and floorball (like hockey a bit) every fri, as well as frisbee every monday. So quite active lah i guess. This sat, going Perth zoo with my sis n some friends. Everytih ng just feels comfortable now. My room is all dark except for my table light, the mini lava lamp and the glow of my computer, its raining outside. I ve always imagined a moment like this.
Another this I am beginning to wonder is that whether I have an alcohol problem. Its funny, cos when I was young, I use detest alcoholics but now i drink like a fish. I ve been trying to cut down, but not putting enuf effort in to it. I must cut down, seriously. I can already hear the laughter of those who know me better, but I am serious about it. We ll see how it goes. Talked to mum yesterday. She is going to India tomorrow, really miss her, felt it even more after talking to her.
Past few days, I ve just been getting restless, dunno if its the weather, speaking of which, it has been raining like hell n getting colder, even though its approaching end of winter. I do miss home, my family especially my cousins and my friends back home, especially a certain someone, heheh, but its not so bad this semester. Maybe it's because I ve got more things to do, studies, sports, The Malaysian association, plus I also feel more at home now, which is good. Nevertheless, I know when I go back end of this year, its gonna be bang, a very loud one, heheh. well thats all I guess, Do take care, and don't stop dreaming.

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,and remember what peace there may be in silence.As far as possible without surrenderbe on good terms with all persons.Speak your truth quietly and clearly;and listen to others,even the dull and the ignorant;they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,they are vexations to the spirit.If you compare yourself with others,you may become vain and bitter;for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.Exercise caution in your business affairs;for the world is full of trickery.But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;many persons strive for high ideals;and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.Especially, do not feign affection.Neither be cynical about love;for in the face of all aridity and disenchantmentit is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,gracefully surrendering the things of youth.Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.Beyond a wholesome discipline,be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,no less than the trees and the stars;you have a right to be here.And whether or not it is clear to you,no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,whatever you conceive Him to be,and whatever your labors and aspirations,in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,it is still a beautiful world.Be cheerful.Strive to be happy.

Tequila

The past 2 nites (Thurs n Fri), have been crazy. Thurs went to tavern as Jimi Hendrix, met alot of the new students, finally got Josh to drink, danced with a few lovely ladies, laughed my head n ass off. Best part, was that I had an 830 class next morning followed immediately by a lab. Woke up with a damn gruff voice, as I have been having a bitch of a sore throat since Monday, plus the booze and shouting didnt help it. Also had a splitting headache, sux big time. Came back after lab n knocked off in my room. Woke up at 4 and did some cleaning up, read Shantaram, which is a bloody good book, played some games, chatted with div, then got ready to go out to Freo to watch my favourite live band, Felix. Had dinner first with josh, mei theng and joanne at some pasta shop. Felix was bloody good, plus Lisa, my favourite bassist, was as mesmerising as ever. drank a bit with Josh, but didnt get tipsy, it was more of the music that got me in the mood to jump and sing my ass. Once again, throat has gotten even worse, just hope I don't lose my voice. It already sounds gruff as hell. But it was good. Then went to Harbourside after Felix ended, cos Ben , josh and the girls wanted to dance to RnB, I just chilled at the bar, taking it easy with sprite n red bull, cos I will always be a Rocker, n RnB isnt my kinda stuff. Then went Hungry Jacks, and ate while laughing at each other, namely I got it the worst, due to some bad joke of a botanical nature, ...............nvm. It was a good 2 nite release I guess. Now I shall officially start the wonderful process of cramming my head with Veterinary anatomy, namely the dog and cow. But its all good, cos its all interesting, not some crappy uneccesary crap like learning bout some Religion and all their damn prophets. Well thats bout, my throat feels numb, and thats not good, I need my sleep. It is gonna be a busy month, not to mention a busy semester. Aih, cheerio. Oh ya, before I forget, on 27th of August, Mars is gonna be damn bloody close to the Earth. Apparently if u look at the sky that night, you can see Mars ver clearly as it will be almost the moon's size. Do bear in mind, that the next time this happens, it will be bout 250 years from now, so do cherish it folks. Chow
