Hello again.

Like the abominable weather that Sydney is famous for, so has the end of semester crept up and silently ambushed me. unlike the former however, i'm fully embracing the latter.

the last two weeks seem like a mad arms-race between me and the university, now that i have time to sit back and contemplate on it. over the span of 14 days, i completed 5 reports of which 3 were worth 35% of the total assessment of its respective subject and presented a seminar entitled "Mammal adaptation and tolerance to high elevations with respect to heat shock proteins" to my Animal Phys class.

and i have emerged triumphant!
despite the fact i had to endure knowing that nearly all my friends were lounging back and beginning to study for their exams, AND,
that the whole Ecological Methods class was handed a brand new assignment 9 days before the end of semester to complete, AND,
that i had only 4 hours of sleep each night for the past 2 weeks, AND,
that through lack of time i had to munch on peanut-butter-and-nutella sandwiches for dinner most of the time (which was really yummy btw...just that my gut feels strange now..it feels real peanut-buttery).

however, in the midst of such madness, an old friend came to visit! it's been so long since i've seen this woman.

"You bring out the camwhore in me."








it was so great to have you around, even though it was just for 2 days. it was a nice break from the mountains of pdfs i had to plow through. and then it got me thinking: it was so effortless, how both of us just 'gel'-ed back with each other despite having 16 months of absence between us. we had so much to talk about and so much to laugh at, that it was as though both of us had never left for sydney-hawaii and that we were in good ol' kajang all these while. maybe both of us should get married.

BWAHAHAHA!

but YES. i missed you.
