Well, I've yet to update about my ordinary birthday. Well maybe not so ordinary. Nadya and Zhafran welcomed the strike of midnight with the traditional birthday song. Soon after not willing to be overshadowed, my darling family members gave me their rendition of the birthday song which was as equally beautiful, albeit off tune and unharmonize. But there is no denying, even after heartfelt messages from my besties and close friends, I had to come face to face with my cold bed and dreading moments of haunting thoughts. These thoughts, are undying. The memory of past experiences serves as reminder to why celebrations should never be commemorated without the warmth of the people you love. *screeching sound* I am not about to make you people cry. So I shall stop.
My morning was 'rudely' greeted by the sound of my bell. I struggled to open my door, only to find a smiling Papua New Guinean girl, with a hot chocolate drink on one hand and a cupcake on the other. "Happy birthday Amin!!! I told you I was going to come and see you in the morning and wish you a happy birthday!". It was my bff, Mena. Such happiness!
On a lighter note... I am lighter! Haha! I have been hitting the gym frequently, running 10km on the treadmill per visit. I have yet to try yoga! I am glad the gym is just practically next door. It is a great place to destress. And American Idol! Lesson 101 on 'budget international student stay in Australia', when you don't have cable always visit the gym and watch it there while you run. It is great sometimes I tell you! If you were to see a malay guy flailing his arms about and jiving on the treadmill, please give him some face and join him! Haha! Well you do the silliest things sometimes, especially since you know Australia is just too big for anyone to recognise you. But again, you are talking about the citizens who is so fascinated with reality tv it is scary.
It was Makan Day at UQ the other day. The UQ Singaporean Student's Society in conjuction with the student societies of Malaysia, Brunei and Thailand conducted the event. An array of dishes were sold. From Nasi Briyani, Nasi Katok Brunei to jemput-jemput pisang and ICE KACANG. It was heavenly. :) And it was better when you have good company. I felt like an ambassador explaining to Mena what the different dishes were. She was all thumbs-up and I was even patriotic to the cause. Haha!
My ever-so-knowledgeable-friend Matthew, prompted me that we are closing to the end of the semester. That explains why I have not had the time to update. My efforts are channeled to my argumentative essays and the pile of books that continue to bury me deep! But I am gaining alot of knowledge! It is fun just minus the application and the grueling time spent on making the essay sound credible.
I bet some of you must have had heard the news. My family is due to visit me this June! Oh I can't wait to meet my parents and siblings. I mean for the first time I genuinely miss my family... And soon after, I am to prepare for the arrival of my bestie and sisters! How cool is that! I cannot wait!
Now... Can I please start a malay dance group in Brissy! Can people please be interested in their roots now! Argh... I am dying here man! Please... *sits begging*
