Anxiety

Exams are in 3 weeks and I am dying inside, thinking of what the next 3 weeks will be like.

Some very overdue pictures:

Flare dancers at the Dancesport gig a few Fridays back.

Dinner at Nobu for my birthday. Somehow Jiah Lit and I always end up there. That's cuz the food we order is always sooo good.

Sorry Caitlin, your flowers drooped after one day:( 

Commemorating my birthday balloons.

Yes, that's right - what's left of my cake. Teehee:)

Dinner at St. Kilda Beach with Yee Hooi, Carmen, Caitlin, Jun Jing, Shen and Jiah Lit.

Very Bollywood-movie, no?

Yee Hooi looks kinda off the ground...

Fumbling For A Steady Grip

I feel stuffysuffocatedstuckbotheredheavysick 

AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. 

Mmm, sometimes days turn out better when you just leave everything unplanned and decide on things as they happen. And, I've also realised that there's nothing like planting yourself in uni as a way to make yourself grow up. Everything around us is just changing so fast. A good thing?

I need comfort food..this calls for a good fulfilling breakfast. Since I was a kid, I've loved having big breakfasts, whether it be continental, american, mi goreng, roti canai, or wan tan mee. I have a sudden crave for the Lt. Flinders/Degraves Lane american breakfast I had with Caitlin a few weeks back. Nothing like bacon, eggs, hash brown and toast to make you feel all gooey again:)

I have a huge research essay due in 3 weeks which accounts for 40% of my Sociology grade. Socio is killing me slowly. On top of the research essay, I have a 30% take-home test where they give you a topic and you have to research,write and hand-in in 48 hours after the topic is released. And you know I don't do well with speed-writing.. I smell DOOOOM.

Whatever, worrying will get me nowhere. Right now, I'll just go back to my Grey's Anatomy...toods!

There's One In This World For Everyone

My favourite soundtrack of all time is A Cinderella Story. Some soundtracks have some good songs and some bad ones, and some you just get sick of after awhile. But the songs from A Cinderella Story I've been listening to for years yet I still love them as much as before. 

Sometimes when you just feel like giving in to fairytales, cliches, happy-endings, love-conquers-all stories and all that Disney jazz, this is what you need to listen to. My top picks from the soundtrack:

I'll Be - Edwin McCain

The Best Day of My Life - Jesse McCartney

Now You Know - Kara Dioguardi

Sympathy - Goo Goo Dolls

One In This World - Haylie Duff

My birthday balloons!

Birthday flowers colour-coordinated to match the balloons :)

Yee Hooi and I's birthday dinner at St. Kilda Beach

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEE YEE HOOI :) !

Bubbletee,  who is 7 days younger than me

ILOVEYOU:)

I've Fallen...So Now You Know

I am blogging so my blog looks more happening...

I really hope europhic feelings like this will come more often because I swear, I've experienced more stress in the past few months than I've ever had for the past 18 years. 

BUT RIGHT NOW I AM HAPPY:)

Except for the fact that I think my face grew rounder. :( Anyway, thank god its winter so there's an excuse to cover legs, thus I can hide all the ugly bruises, cuts, and blueblacks that I've been getting from dance. So ugly. 

My birthday was last week:) and I am sadly officially 19. A big mushy hug, kiss, slobber and thank you to Caitlin, Jiah Lit, Yee Hooi, Shen, Carmen, Jun Jing, Shereen, Suet, Paik Jin and Avanda for the birthday surprise. It was really sweet. Some of the cake is still in my fridge and I finished all the Roche gelati. Yums. And the balloons are still in my room:):) I loved my birthday this year. Thank you to everyone who sent me birthday wishes<3 

I have loads of pictures and I could post them up..but then there's the effort factor :)

The Waters I Will Test

Confusion is such a hatable feeling. Its frustrating when you know you can do it and its in you but you're just not doing yourself justice at the right time and when it matters. And its even harder to keep it all inside and I hate it, so showing vulnerability is something I should learn. 

What would going through fire be like?

 All I know is, you've got hold your head strong and get through it. Or else you may just burn in the ruins of yourself.

I Wish Someone Would Just Whisk Me Off...Somewhere. Anywhere.

I need a break. Seriously.

Easter wasn't even a real break for me. Anyhoos, talk about a real scare. I went into my sociology tutorial today all happy and joyful, only to find out there was an assignment due TODAY and I didn't even know about it. Haven't even started writing. Haven't even read the question. Zomg, when I found out, I was hyperventilating in my mind. Zomg Zomg Zomg. So yeah, I was rushing to finish it, luckily its just a reallyy short essay, and I just submitted it online a few minutes ago.

What a scare. 

Uni is awful.

Into The Wild

Michele LOLs at herself. 

That udon-lookalike in my fridge are actually calamari rings. Haha I finally figured that out. Oh well, sorry I've never seen uncooked calmari rings before.

Anyway.

Believe it or not... 

MICHELE WENT CAMPING!!!

Yes. With tents and everything:)

Haha I thought I'd do something different for this short holiday. So this Easter weekend, I decided to join Jiah Lit, his homestay family from Geelong and some of their family friends for a camping trip in Bimbi Park, Cape Otway. So we packed icky, camp-worthy clothes and set off:)

*beware of very picturefied post*

Introducing Camping Michele:)

I love horses. Their bodies are angled so nicely.

Koala bears pee and snore in a really cute way! Teehee. And they were roaming in the trees right above our campsite.

Camping was really an experience for me:) Well, at least there weren't any mosquitoes!

Four Walls Worth Of Space

Happy belated Easter people:)  I haven't been able to update much although I'm on a one week break from uni. Grrr. My family's here! And now all four of us are crammed in my one bed, one bathroom, one sofa, one everything tiny apartment. Yeahhhh..I should probably sound more appreciative that they're here. Don't get me wrong. I am. I have been missing all those late night talks we have, and how we always make fun of one another. I almost forgot the goofball side of my parents. :) 

I have not gone shopping in agessssssssssssssss. I think I'll go today. Take advantage of the fact that my parents are here.....and so are their wallets:) I'll update on my Easter weekend camping trip soon. Yup. Michele went into the wilderness. 

*beams*

Let That Record Play

Certain people annoy me. I don't even know what  you are anymore. We should all learn to not care and let go of these people because, why should you let them affect you right? So not worth it.

Anyhooos:):) I am happy because my urgh week, as Carmen calls it, is over. I had a really really bad week and there was so much to do and so much on my mind and so much PMS-ing going around. Now I am just so relieved I have escaped to the other side safe and sound:)

I look like I want to poo poo right?

Teehee. Anyway, that picture was taken from the Victorian College of Arts, where Flare dancers performed in conjunction with some lets-make-friends-with-MelbourneUni thing that they held. Rehearsals were crazily overloading my weeks leading up to the event, but yeah once again, I am happy I made it through without killing myself..or something.

Flare's VCA performers:)

Then the next night, Friday, was the MUOSS Night Market themed 'Le Carnivale'. :) This time for the performance, dancers had to paint their faces according to the pieces they were in. 

Ta-da!

Joleen. Wenting. Me

Wen Ting's kiss mark on her cheek - courtesy of Joleen and her uber red lipstick.

The dancers who performed 'Circus'

I wonder how long it took for that guy to wash off his face paint later.

Easter break starts next week. Yay! We all deserve a holiday after this stressful half a semester. I'll be going camping (yes, like, in the woods) during Easter weekend, and then my family is coming:):):):):)

Hopefully I'll have more updates during the hols. Toods!
