Bridging Fantasy & Reality

I find myself into Hindi songs all of a sudden. I don't know if it's coz I spend a considerable amount of time with someone who's fluent in the language everyday of it's merely my inner Bollywood dramatic queen acting up. Which ever the case, I feel at ease with the froth of lukewarm culture that's engulfing my life.

What have I been doing post exams?

It's been a couple of pretty awesome days not having to wake up and think about study. Now I just wake up, make myself some toast while I watch dvds on my lappie/youtube reruns of That 70s Show and wait for plans to fall into place. And almost everyday there's more or less something to do, someone plans something or something falls into place.

Akash took me to Botany on Monday and we spent the day there. I could see why that place could be a paradise for a girl. They had double the amount of stores than there were in the city and the architecture was nice =) But his presence wasn't conducive enough to set me into a shopping frenzy like say, Melitta's presence would. So we just did a couple of rounds of window shopping and I vowed to go back there with Melitta or any other girl for that matter at least once before I depart this pretty land.










Been spending heaps of time with Akz to make up for all the lost times that we will experience while I am back in Malaysia. The only thing that sucks about leaving right now is that he won't be there. That aside, i am completely psyched to be returning. To be seeing my closest and dearest once again. To be eating the food that I love and to be away from weather as erratic as my mood swings. Ah well. At least when I return, he'll be awaiting me with open arms. Or so I think....

We've been looking around for apartments for me for next year.And some of the ones I have seen are spectacular. But taking pricing. convenience and everything else into account has been tricky business. And most only lease out places closer to the day when you're actually moving in. Which makes it even more difficult. Think I have to return a little earlier next year to find the perfect place.

Went to Mission Bay with the girls on Tuesday afternoon. We just felt like sprawling our legs out on the beach. And that's exactly what we did. Suks, Jess, Kailas, Melzers and I walked halfway there after which we hopped on a bus coz it was getting dark. It was good letting our hair down at the beach. Going crazy and dancing around to Jason Mraz's I'm Yours. Suks gave us the most laughs. My crazy RA. Will remember that one forever.



The rest of my time's spent either packing, reminiscing, watching DVDs or at the gym. Received a copy of a the Huia mag yesterday. Flipping through it, I realized that despite my attempts to deny it, I will miss this place should I move out. Two years here has made it one with an abundance of memories carved into my soul. And although I probably wasn't as outgoing in all the activities and I didn't enjoy the drinking splendours as much as a normal Huian would, I still take comfort in the fact that some of my more meaningful friendships were born out of my contract with Huia. And besides, I don't think I will be able to find cleaner communal bathrooms anywhere else! OR stalkers that not only leave messages under my door but also on my blog (thank you for the ego boost, I must say).
Whatever the case, 9th floor rocked it out this year. Thanks to Melitta, to whom I've never been closer to in times of stress and fun. Suks who's loud chatter, enthusiastic singing and heavy footsteps I'll never forget. Jess and her shrill voice and playful nature. Kailas's attempts to bake and fatten up the entire floor everytime she's stressed. Jacob and his gangsta greeting (ie" ssssup Dimz?!?). Leith, the neighbour I never got to know. Rachel, the sexy Filipino with a husky voice and a groovy fashion sense. Ged, the pommy english boy who started hitting on the sexy Filipino as soon as she arrived (ie: Rachel). Shaun, the apparent grump who I didn't find grumpy but nice enough to chid a hello whenever I bumped into him. Ace, the ever quiet pharmacy student who couldn't study coz Melzers and I made too much noise in her room. Guna, the Malaysian I kept bumping into in the kitchen. Naim, Azurin, Alya, Sya and Izzah, the ones who cooked only the bestest food with the nicest lingering aroma. Agata, the sexy Canadian with mean cooking skills and the biggest heart. Tana, the adventurous Mexican exchange student. Nicola, the golden girl of the 9th floor who's now returned to Maryland in the US. Jason, the absolute hunk, tall, tanned, built and never one to talk but be talked about. Mattias, the Swedish with the best attitude, ever willing to converse. Elin, Serena and Regina, the Europeans who cook together, eat together and speak English in their own little accents together. Ben, the man of mass destruction, been kicked out of clubs, gotten into road fights, ended up in bruises all over the place, you name it, he's done it. Charlotte, perhaps the most mature one on the floor with her endless thesis' and dissertations. Diyani, my pysch sidekick, sensible and smart. Ronnie, Michael, CY and Edward, the Asians with a kick. Charo, the Spaniard who was always cheerful and beared a striking resemblance to Anne Hathaway. Hmmm. I think that's everyone.... These people made the 9th what it was.

Gotta get ready now... Peace out!
