I hate taking pictures. I need a better camera. Olympus, you have failed miserably at taking good pictures. FAILED. MISERALY.

On a more fantastic note, Jerome's in the country! :D :D :D
We possibly finally will meet up!

I miss sweating in KL weather. It's cold here. I need to keep moving so I don't freeze to death. No, I'm not really moving. Scooter is there to take me places. I still need to go do laundry and vacuum my room. I honestly couldn't be arsed. It's change bedsheets day. I really, really couldn't be bothered but. It's irritating me when I don't change it.

I need new pants and some clothes. No, I don't need it but I do want it.

Coffee and internet at the kedai korpi 'The Bean Room' again. I dread the vacuuming/laundry later. Dread more the making-the-bed bit. Terrifying. Nak househusband satu can?

But know that I'm doing very well, work is great and I'm coping. Slowly amassing a small group of friends. True, my networking epicenter is in KL but Melbourne is a nice place to be all diverse and get chucked into like I'm learning to swim. I'm not drowning. I shall get a job over summer. I may go back in Winter for a few weeks. I also need a bigger fridge. I hate the stupid tiny fridge in the apartment. Cannot keep ANYTHING without it getting too full. Market every week also.

One more thing I need is a new housemate for next year when May leaves. It's a chore to have to separate with old friends but it has to be done eventually.

Chores. Chores. Chores. They are calling oh, my God.

I bought new canvas shoes and I haven't shaved my legs.

It's Thursday, I have no class and I'm doing work at The Bean Room with coffee and their Wifi because I'm internetless at the moment.

It's cold like someone left the aircond on for too long. I don't really want to go back to the apartment. It's boring there. Hahahaha... Also because I'm procrastinating vacuuming. I hate vacuuming.

My nose is leaking so it's good that I'm at a coffee shop perusing their free tissues. Ah, free tissues. I don't have a cable but if I did I'd connect my phone to the laptop and update my Tumblr. Which reminds me, I have two Tumblr accounts now, one for personal use and one for my portfolio of sorts.

My nose is leaking.

My nose is leaking.

NOSE! STOP LEAKING!

Damnit, my Flat White is cold.

May's friend, Ken, quipped that we (she, actually) are mourning the deaths of our lives in KL. Is this so? I make a life where I want and where I'm at I should think. It's just taking a little longer. Also, the blokes in  my class are 1. waaay younger than me and 2. Nice but are partaking in douchebaggery in the buddies department. Alright, I lied. Not all but the ones that look decent... I lied again. I'm just feeling intensely aggravated at not having kakis for lepaks yet.

Also, with the advent of the VOIPs, calling people in different countries is very easy... TOO easy.

I would like a better camera. It doesn't have to be new but it does have to be really good. My Olympus is crap. Seriously! I mean it's great that it can swim and stuff but on low light situations it's utter shite, not to mention the flash is terminally blinding.

Long week ahead, Monday is finally almost over. Tomorrow I hope Officeworks is open early because I have to print stuff.

Any news as to when Viber will be released for Android?

Rhetorical question: How is it that people still give me a bewildered look when I scoot by them in a completely nonchalant manner?

Another rhetorical question: Mourning the death of my life in KL? Really?
My phone internet is... going to finish omg.

Also, I need to figure out my time management better.

Also, also, It's week 2. Week 4 is a field trip which I HAVE to attend.

Also, also, also, today is for mandi (no I haven't yet showered), Vic State Library, Officeworks for more supplies, Some one hour course thing and more kerja kerja kerja.

Getting my new awesomer computer this Saturday. Cheaper than highest spec Alienware and a hell of alot cheaper, too. Internet next. I just have to figure out whether or not my current apartment had a Telstra line so I can get iiNet connected and I can be an internet kutu once again. XD

Oh, and have I mentioned I LOVE Victoria Market?

I cannot get over the fact that two of my male lecturers are hot as balls. :O

Three of my favourite artists: Salvador Dali, M.C. Escher and Piet Mondrian.

And I'm deciding to open AANOOTHER blog but this one is for food. It'll be called The Nomster Blog and has "Cooking for two. What's the big deal??' as the tagline.

Everyone, and I really mean EVERYONE, keeps making 'the boyfriend' statements. I... sad...
What do I mean by 'the boyfriend' statements? Oh, you know. When people start implying that you should pair up.

I may or may not be considering a life outside Malaysia. We'll see how it gets in four years or so.

Next week I'm getting my computer, next month the internet. Hopefully.
Assignments piling up faster than I can say 'BOOOO!' and my social calendar is getting pretty filled up.
I miss the KL weather. I really do. But. Today was a nice Saturday. 21 degrees and sunny. Yay!

Oh, and DS1: Communications Class requires me to open up a blog on Tumblr. Yeah, more blogs for me. It's an online folio and for progress reports on my work thus far, also kept as a backup just in case in all goes ka-plutz. It's at http://aishahroose.tumblr.com/

That is all for tonight. Until next time, adieu.

Have I mentioned how much I hate not knowing what words mean? I have? Oh. Well, I'll say it again. I hate not knowing what words mean because then I can't answer questions properly and I won't know what the phrase truly means. Every word, though somewhat similar, hold varying degrees of... Intensity -- for want of a better word -- that I don't know quite how to explain. Let's put into perspective three words I use which mean almost the same thing: Hate, dislike and abhor. From mild to extra hot and spicy: Dislike < Hate < Abhor. That should shed some light.

I'm thinking of getting iiNet (Naked DSL is the way to go) and over the weekend, get a computer and a printer with a uilt-in scanner(hopefully with Richard's help...

Oh, and randomers:
- History Theory henceforth known as HT and Design Studio 1 henceforth known as DS1.
- For HT, I'm in Phip's Tute Class.

Things to do over weekend (including today):
- Finish up mini task 1 for DS1 and print. Go to class early to pin stuff up. Yay? Due today.
- Go to the State Library and see the Mirror of the World Exhibit for HT Class. Due Tuesday.
- Read, read, read required reading for HT Class. Due Tuesday.
- Get the receipt for the HT reader... Whenever I remember.
- Do the Travel Journal for HT, due Tuesday Morning.

Bah. My weekend is full.

By the way,
I LOVE VIC MARKET. and I really, really, reallyreallyreally need proper warm gloves. Winter, and much of autumn will be utter shite.

Good tidings, my dears.

I've been freezing my bottom off and it'll only get colder as the months pass. Winter. Winter sucks bad. First week and already I have assignments due. It's almost horrible. Read about 60 pages of The Poetics of Space and... found about 20 words I never knew existed. I hate not knowing words because I have to look them up. Damn you, Harvard people. Damn you for your superior vocabulary.

I've got to sign up for internet. The fact that I'm using the phone as a modem is getting irksome. I can't do much with it. And. I need to get a desktop ASAP but where? So, naked DSL and a desktop within 2 weeks. Oh, and a freezer.

Ah, and I'm no longer homeless! YAY!

Freezer, why so hard to find?!

I'm in first year again and honestly, I'm not complaining. One of my male lecturer's is a hot scruffy surfer dude. Ahahahaha... But that's not the point. My point is it's okay so far.


Field trip on week 5
Classes 3 days a week
Got Assignments already
Bought half the stuff
Buying more after I actually move in tomorrow.
I'm sleepy. Damnit!

Also, I have to get into a habit of taking pictures of anything and everything then open up a log to start collecting my thoughts in words and pictures there. Mmmmmmmmmmeh.
Sounds tedious which reminds me, I wonder how my Tumblr is doing without proper updates... Cos you know, I've been setting it to auto-update.

Okay, can't update anymore. I've got the hungerrrr....
