RAEVILLE

Wednesday, October 31, 2007

I'm finally back from the most difficult two weeks of my life, and it feels great. I woke up this morning to find myself freezing from the morning chill, and realised there was no reason to wake up this early. Half-asleep, I pulled myself out of bed, grabbed my yellow blanket and went back to sleep underneath it's extra layer of warmth. It's been a while since I last slept in without reason to get up.

In the last two weeks, I came across days when I'd sit myself down to a schedule and study 6-7 hours, and there were the other days when I'd find myself completely without a purpose and do under 3 hours of study. Alot of my time procrastinating was spent on thinking about what I wanted to do after the two weeks (and Facebooking). It was all planning and wishing.

I've come up with a list of things I want to do in the next four months of my life. Why? Well, because let's face it -- everyone loves lists.

Learn how to drive. I've finally decided to do it. I'm going to do as many hours that I can during the next month in Sydney, and I'll do my Ls with Shaza when I return to KL. That way, I'll have lots of experience on the road. My first driving lesson starts on Monday of next week.
Go to Singapore and Thailand some time during the holidays. I want to visit Jude in Singapore and do the whole prata-sheesha-shopping experience all over again. And Thailand, where I want to see beaches and experience the country-side with Nom.
Get a job. Considering I want to travel during the holidays to see my friends, I thought it would only be fair if I earned some money to pay for my own pocket money, or maybe even a flight if I had enough money. I also thought that I could work for one of mum or dad's friends who works in the advertising or publishing industry, just to get a feel of the type of work that goes on in the office. Work experience, yay.
Shop! I've even got a list for what I want to buy: a Lomo Holga camera (because the LCA is far too expensive), Josh Ritter's album The Animal Years, tees and a pair of Ksubi jeans. There's even an Incu warehouse sale this Friday! Yes!
Ask for an acoustic guitar for Christmas. I've done all the online research I could do to find the most affordable guitar that will keep me satisfied for many years to come. Now all I need is to ask Santa for it.
Be in KL for Chinese New Year. Next year, the Chinese New Year landed itself on the 8th of February (a day before my birthday!) and I intend on sticking around for this. I've missed far too many CNY celebrations due to school, and I'm not missing another one again.
Be in KL for my 19th Birthday. Damn right I'm celebrating big-time.
Visit the Bennetts. My old Year 8 teachers who I still keep in touch with. They've been hounding me to come up to visit them, and this time I'll be able to.

Other than that, I'm really praying for a miracle that I get into UTS. I'm praying that my consistent hard work throughout the year will help in the whole process of calculating my UAI.

I'm off. I'm going to start watching Weeds season one now. Hurray for couch-potato activities!

Cheers :)

PS. Good luck to the rest of you lot
(EJ, Shaza, Jude in particular) who are still on exams.
All the best guys! There's not long to go!

RAEVILLE came about some time in the year of 2001. or 2002. it's been so long that i've forgotten already.
it all started here (i doubt the link works anymore though), in a dodgy little blog page. then it moved to here. a year later, and we moved to better things, namely blogspot.

ps. raeville is best viewed on mozilla firefox. just because it's better :)
