i'm HOME!!

and the most glam part about qantas? i got delayed AGAIN. nice.. well my flight was supposed to take off at 440am and we were supposed to board the aircraft at 355am.

345am: the plane has not arrived.
355am: plane arrives and they start to clean it and get it ready for our flight. and pilots and crew board.
430am: aircraft is ready for boarding
455am: all passengers have boarded and the plane is closed.
"captain says we gotta wait! because perth airport has a shortage of airport staff to load and transfer baggage into the plane. there were only 4 guys removing (the baggage of the previous flight) and loading (the baggage of our flight) out and into the aircraft."
500am: the just finished unloading the aircraft.
600am: just finished loading our baggage into the aircraft.
615am: take off

i literally waited from it was dark till it was bright. the sun rose as we look into the skies. and i was exhausted.

finally 1000am: arrive in singapore.

I DIDN'T DIE!! (to jules and min that took singapore airlines)

though the landing was quite terrible, even wins felt the pressure change that was damn drastic.

then went back home unpacked. and cabbed to Hubby's house. and called him to come down. SURPRISE!! and i spent the rest of the afternoon sleeping at his house. GLAM. talking to his ah ma and mummy for a while.

that idiot was all smiles looking at all the goodies i bought for him.

this whole trip seems so surreal, it doesn't feel that i was in perth for 4 months, or that i have even left. this whole changing environments is really having a toll on me, my body is really getting damn sick.

i've got pictures but not today. i'm off to bed soon. hock bought me tons of stuff too.. hahaa..

janice. i have a ball face. (quote from hock)

done packing.. done doing all that i need to.. and ready to have dinner.. rest a night.. and grab my flight home..

fatter.. with loads of blemishes on my face.. and very tired indeed.

rob left last night.. its really sad with all this departures and new arrivals.. and come to think of it, next of next sem, my whole 2 years in Australia will be over.

its just sad that my whole exciting uni life is over soon.

i'll miss my housemates so much, my friends here.. and the lovely animals.

lets end with some songs alex taught me for my cross cultural learning

1. I still call Australia Home

I've been to cities

That never close down

From New York

To Rome

And Old London Town

But No matter how far

Or how wide I roam

I still call Australia HOMEEE

Some day we'll all be

Together once more

When all of the ships

Come back to the shore

I still call Australia HOMEEE

2. We are Australian

'Cause we are one

But we are many

And from all the lands

On Earth we come

We Share a dream

And sing with one voice

I am

You are

We are Australian

janice.. 3 months of hot humid weather.

I KILLED THE BLOODY SUCKER!!!!!

the annoying spider that bit me 5 times until i'm so itchy and swollen!!! THAT WAS CRAWLING ON MY BED!!!

i squished it with my BEAR HANDS!!!

IT IS DEAD!!!

no more bloody bites from that stupid spider. (hopefully it didn't breed)

janice.. study lar!!!

hubby's UQ acceptance letter came today. and he will be off in mid 2009 for 1 year.

on one hand i'm really happy. on the other its going to be 9 months of separation in a different time zone. no matter how supportive one can get, i still harbour him not leaving, just like every time when he waves goodbye to me at the airports.

those glass panels have become my dearest friends for the past 1 and a half year. and now i'll make it another 1 and a half. just that i'll be standing at the other side of the glass.

3 years. LDR. sometimes i''m really worried that we might have gotten too used to this whole departure for a few months that one day when we really see each other every single day, things will be so different.

but i guess its trust. patience and love. and i know we'll pull through. we've really matured alot.

i've learnt to hide all my feelings, i've learnt to hide myself. its my defence mechanism. whats yours?

janice. i need to study. stop procrastinating.

I JUST GOT BITTEN BY THAT !@$^&*()%$#@! insect again,

and its starting to swell.. just ate the ani histamine again.

OMG.. kirke says it might be some (he actually said the name- didn't catch it, and he said its really small and ??) spider
and then he stopped and said:" i should stop scaring you"


ARRGH..

am i going to die??

if i don't die because of all these bites then will i die because of qantas?
and my mother says what is meant to be is meant to be.

4 more days people.

consumer behavior. its so common sense yet so many things to know.

janice. in the path of a compulsive liar. i find it really intriguing.

MY BODY IS SERIOUSLY GETTING SICK.

and this is terrible.

5 days till i go home where my body has to adjust to the climate again.
i've been bitten by some insect (or spider) twice in my thigh and once on my hand. and the normal swelling of an insect bite has spread into a gi-normous swelling the size of my hand on my thigh. and i was breaking out an cold sweat in my exam hall today.

hai..

oh god.

bought anti histamines for the swelling and inflammation. because my body is fighting the venom. and i feel dam sick now. and i've still gotta pack. study. and handle one last exam paper. and all the drama that has been happening around me.

STRESS!!!

i've decided to overload next sem because ISC for biotech is like summer school and i have to stay here and do research which is not that bad a thing, but i just wanna go home. i need to go home.. sucks to be me.

i'm so tired, but i just can't get to sleep.

screw this.

janice. saranghaeyo.

there are tons of things on my mind now.

so much things to do yet i feel so incompetent.

have you ever had that feeling of wanting to do so much yet there are so much factors holding you back?

i've sort of got one major problem sorted out. but yet another comes.

i hate to go home due to financial woes and my loss of independence.

i love being alone, but hate being left alone.

janice. i'm such an irony, just let me rant.

I NEED FINANCIAL INDEPENCE. in times when cash is king.

say hello to my terrible acting.. alex HAD to put this on youtube. HE HAD TO!!
well this is the video we produced for jules' 21st birthday.

its a parody of an original MTV. and yes. the song is called 'smell yo dick' and its a real song that has super annoying catchy tunes that allowed us to sing along during our road trip and super vulgar lyrics. (not that i didn't tell you. so watch at your own discretion)

and this 3 min video. made us work for 3 days. secretly behind jules' back. and thanks to all the people that were proudly part of this production.
winnie. zac. and of course alex and min. *pat on the back!

it made me look at shows and dramas and movies all in a sort of different light. i appreciate lousy acting (still better than mine) and long hours. and all of us were super sick of the song by the end of 3 days..

can u imagine singers? they repeated sing the same single over and over for gigs, mtvs, variety shows, etc. but they are paid to sing. so its different.

janice. i slept at 3 and woke up at 9. zzz. GYM!!!

its been such a tiring yet rewarding day. so cliche.

one paper done (the most annoying of them all)... cleared tons of food stuff in the cupboard that has collected through eons by cooking them.. baked cookies.. taught jules how to make sweet and sour pork and cookies... downloaded more youtube videos of behind the scenes of antique bakery to have a breather... took a hot shower.

(not that my life is very interesting)

but tmr! its another jam packed day. 1030am shave jon's head (not that he will be on time).. 11am gym. 1pm lunch. 2pm buy my mummy's abalone and hock's absinthe. 4pm come back walk the grey hounds in uni with shalini and wilford.. 6pm reach home and cook dinner. have dinner with the normals and lucius (haven't seen him besides mambo and my 21st birthday, all of which i was sort of drunk- the only 2 times this sem!!!) and 730pm watch HARRY (sex)POTTER - Goblet of Fire.. 930pm play mahjong... die... resurrect and study.

yes.. tmr i have a wonderful day

finally. its 2am.. and i'm not very tired.

on a terrible sidenote: i need to overload a unit next sem or take an external unit over my summer hoildays to compensate for the neh neh 2 points that murdoch does not want to give me. and my flight by QANTAS has been delayed. by 4 hours. nice. so now i'll be home at 9pm.. what shit is this?

janice. hooya~~~~~ i'm sure God loves me.

ok.. this is not a joke.. this are REAL KITTENS!! born in PERTH!!!

they suffered a genetic mutation. poor souls, doubt they will live very long..
jules now there is a real 2 headed cat for you to photoshop your face on.

just done my biochem 2 paper. it was good, but not great, made some careless mistakes.

janice. off to bake cookies. you want some?
