Dont Die On Me

Had a talk with Jala regarding the blog yesterday. The issue at hand from her pov
(point of view for those who dont know)is the death of the blog. Of course I gave my word I'll try to blog as much as I can,which is not much of an assurance seeing that I'm more to the quiet(i prefer shy but wtv tickles your fancy) side so as much as I can means very little blogging.The question I somewhat forgot to ask her was what does it mean to her the blog is dying?Is it that the post werent frequent enough or the fact that no one really reads it(yes,I do realise that,I aint naive). The 2 of us can work out on the former issue but if actual problem is the latter than we're screwed. The only attraction to this blog is her(come on,we all know that) and all my post deter people from reading it.Leaving the blog to her would be meaningless since she already has her own blog. Regardless of wtv it is,I'll revive this blog even if I have to do a post daily. And that would start today. Another one coming up a bit later,seriously

Just a Random Note.

How do you differentiate between perseverance and being stubborn?

Its such a fine line between two. One maybe thinking that he/she is doing the right thing, therefore even when people around disagree, he/she wouldn't choose to give up what he/she believes is the right one. But people around might perceived them as just being pure stubborn! And right or wrong is just depending on one's believe. When circumstances change, should their believes change too? How would you know what is the best for you, what to hold on, even when you don't receive any support? And maybe, the thing that you believed, may not be the right one after all. Should you still hold on to it, does it mean its just stubborn to do so?

Its a question that I've always have in my mind. I wonder how can one know that he/she is being persevere, or just stubborn. Or maybe there's just no difference between two. Its just a nicer word to frame it.

Anyway, I'm bored of studying. 1 more paper to go. Its just demotivating when people around you are all DONE with their exams! and you're stuck all alone for another week. Was supposed to go library today, ended up staying home watching tv. nice.

On a random note, I've tried the boiled egg technique for bruises, hah its a chinese way actually. I think it works, just that it takes real longgg. And sucha waste to use eggs. You know how boiled eggs smell damn good, but you cant eat it cos you need it for your bruises. So I found out an alternative, use hot boiled rice! Its not much about the egg, its the heat thats supposed to remove the bruise. Then again, takes quite long too.

I just watched August Rush, quite an interesting movie actually. Nice soundtracks they have. Gonna end my pointless post with my fav quote from the movie.

''The music is all around you. You just need to stop and listen."  :)

Rugby black eye healing techniques

Read Michelle's post today and thought I probably have to help keep this blog alive although I might be the reason its dying in the first place(i know,counter productive). Before i start on the injury I just had,I wanna comment a bit on her post:

1)I aint an alcoholic,she is
2)She exaggerated on the cocktail,it aint that bad(although she was jumping about afterwards)
3)We asked for directions(despite her living there for 3 years)and I lead the way
4)I refused any photos taken but shes really persistent
5)Shes the one who wanted fish and chips,i was just hungry
6)It wasnt my fault she missed her class
7)No idea,just wanted 7 reasons(i'll figure it out later)

Went to the all blacks classics vs rest of the world game over the weekend. great fun.it was an amazing game,me and my best buds(plus others) were quite impressed. its always different from watching it on tv. although i have to say that the one who impressed me the most is the no10 from the rest of the world team. jonah was a disappointment,owh how i looked up to him so much when i was younger. the other all blacks winger was more impressive,his work rate is just like tevez on a football pitch.theres quite a number of us who went plus met loads of people whom i already know(not surprising since i know most of them through rugby). also met my ex-colleagues there. never knew them as rugby fans but they seem to enjoy it,good stuff.

The game kinda psyched me up for a game that i'll be playing the next day. wasnt my best game but i did my job i guess.luckily a few others were on fire(not naming them,they know who they are)so it was an easy game. disappointed with a certain someone who tore some of my teammates morale down and also myself.if only i wasnt too eager.halfway through the 2nd half,some asshole kicked me in the eye(literally,in the eye). to be fair to him it wasnt intentional but who the hell tries to do a somersault when tackled?!! went to a hospital to have it checked out(i kinda know its just swollen,but rather be on the safe side), i was right,its just swollen,doc cant do anything bout it except for giving me eye drops,something to ease the swollen,pain meds and antibiotics.i refuse the pain meds and antibiotics cos theyre kinda pointless so i dont wanna pay more for them. at the moment half of my left eye is bloodshot red and the part underneath it is swollen reddish black. I'm not gonna put pictures up cos its inappropriate(just like those who tried to get a pic of it today).doc says it'll be a couple of weeks before it fully recovers. kinda annoying,cos other than that,i'm totally fine. it kinda holds me back. tough luck.

In just slightly more than a day,I have tried so many 'techniques to reduce the swollen. I used ice,pineapple,hot water and boiled egg.i was assured by each person who told me to do it that it will work,guess i'll know if any does tomorrow ( you cant expect the results to be come instantly),which one,i have no idea,may i shouldve tried one each day not all of them in the same day.the pineapple and the boiled egg were new to me. if you're asking how i use them,i aint telling,try figuring that out.

I probably went over the word limit but its to compensate for not doing a post for awhile. Michelle is still having her finals so good luck and i'll do a post on you one of these coming days. think of it as a thank you for being so nice

Faisal

As promised.

Sometimes the simplest things in life are actually the best! Guess when I discovered that? while eating indomie! How could I forget how awesome it is. But it is really sad that they packed it soooo freaking small! why can't they pack it bigger so at least I could be satisfied without having the guilt of eating two packets! for supper. :s

Exams are so stressful, and it makes you fat! 'Cos the best way to procrastinate is to eat. Thats the only thing you could allow yourself to do without guilt since food is a necessity. I still have 2 more papers to go before I could officially wave goodbye to uni (provided I don't fail). And then its a hell monthsss of holiday to go and traveling! can't wait. But its really sad to leave Melbourne for good, this has been a second home to me for the past 3 years and knowing that you wouldn't be coming back anytime soon just makes me miss this place so much.

Anyway, as promised, Faisal's trip to Melbourne. We had some pretty good times being tourists. It was good to have him around 'cos that gave me a chance to visit places that I've never been to.

So our tourist day, started with a trip the Shrine of Remembrance, at Botanical Garden. It was funny that we were told to take a walk there from city, which takes approx 1 hour plus? thats insaneee. Well thanks to yours truly, I managed to bring Faisal there safe and soundly. *pats head* 

Faisal taking the classic tourist shot.

Then off we go to St.Kilda beach. Weather was perfect for a beach day! Nah actually.. I just wanted to go since I've only been there once in first year. But it was nice to just laze around the beach.

Cool shot huh?! Faisal, profile pic yeah.

Lunch time! Wanted to look for fish&chips but couldn't find any, so we settled for this cafe near the beach. 

*drools*

yumsss.

Hahahaha! Look at how excited he is!

Spent almost half a day at the beach, then Faisal brought me to this Belgium beer garden on St.Kilda Road. I love that place, a perfect place to just chill! With band playing some old school musics and kids having their good time dancing around just makes you want to stay there forever. I'm definitely going back there again before I leave.

Went back to the city for dinner. Since we had a long day and we were both tired, we've decided to call it a day and I went back home and tucked in early.

YEAH RIGHT!

Well how can the trip be perfect without some booze right?! especially when I have an alcoholic co-blogger that I believe, will never leave Melbourne without some booze. So, we went to Manchuria in Chinatown, and ordered some cocktails. You must be wondering, just cocktails? no shots no hard liquor? Yeap that right! Since I have an early class on the next day, we've decided on cocktails ONLY.

The only thing was.. we were smart enough to order the strongest cocktail ever! Well I was conned by Faisal, shouldn't have listened to him. Faisal went from a tiny weeny bit tipsy, to drunk (according to his sister). Hah! 

And yours truly?

Nah it wasn't as bad as it seemed. But I didn't make it to my class the next morning. Nevertheless it was good catching up with Faisal after so long. We spent hours and hours talking non stop, or maybe I should say, Faisal did most of the talking, and I was a good listener. Haha I have a feeling that he's gonna kill me after reading this. 

Anyway, I should get back to my books. I'll try to update as often when I have the time. In the meantime, have a good day peeps! :)

Dear blog, don't die!
