Been a while since I updated. A lot of drama happening but takes too much energy to blog it down. Spent the last weekendwith Ryan, Rushika, Yee Cheng and Mark. Watched 2 dvds: Superbad (bunch of nerdy teenagers trying to get laid before college- Very juvenile.) and Hostel (Bunch of backpackers who went to Slovakia realised that the hostel they were staying in was a place for hot European women to lure them into getting chopped. Very gory. I spent the whole movie with my head under the covers.) And we had pizza, and fish n chips, and I baked an apple pie (It was an instant pie. No, I didn't make it from scratch.) And we hung out and talked. Only went to sleep about 4 in the morning. Was a lot of fun though, amidst all the drama.

Then I fell sick. Urgh...I have the cold. With scratchy throat and fever. I've been immobile for 3 days. Been staying at home and I've been feeling really guilty cos I have done almost zilch work since I came. So in the midst of trying to get some rest, I've been reading my articles for my thesis. It's a very painful process. I've gone through 14 articles on leadership and mentoring. I've got another 20 or so to go. And that is only the first part of the thesis.

But it has been pretty fun. I only attend school once a week for two hours. So the rest of the time I spend it with my friends. We hang out at each other's place, watching dvds or just gossipping. Or we go out to the city, or to the suburbs. Anri, Foiza and I went to Mirabooka last Tuesday cos they sell halal meat there. So we went, and man, it was the ghettos. Pretty scary. But we got cheap halal meats. Not sre if it was worth the scare though. If not, I just hang out on my own at home, watching the Olympics and doing my readings in front of the tv. Oh, and cook as well. Have tried cooking a few new dishes: Fish in soy sauce. Sweet n sour prawns. Lemak sawi (Spinach in coconut milk). All tasted pretty good. :) Oh, and run. I still run. Weather's good now. Sunny but cool. About 18-20 degrees now.

Going for a bbq this weekend at King's Park with the whole group. So hopefully will have pictures to show then. And hopefully I'll be well the next time I update.
