It seems like everyone is feeling a bit of pressure at the moment. I think it's the stage in our lives where we are being forced to make a life changing decision and we're trying to find the right answer for ourselves. Life seems to be getting more difficult as it goes on.

I've written three or four paragraphs, and then deleted them after this. I just want to remember this point in this year, how bleak and hellish the next few weeks seem, and be able to look back and laugh. Or cry.

teoh,

easter break fun

Happy Easter everyone, I hope you are all having a good long weekend.

I was feeling a little burnt out at the end of last week, so I decided that I would take Friday - Sunday off completely from any university related work. It was a good plan, I feel much better and have been smashing grad applications all day. I think my company count is up to 20's so hopefully one of them will want to hire me.

Amanda's birthday was last Friday, so happy birthday to my best friend (you are now older than me, hah!). It was a good night of old high school friends (+mich) and rounds of classic games of mafia and jin.

Went to Bright on a loooong family drive on the Saturday. 4 hour drives are killers. But I will always remember Bright for the gorgeous fresh air and the nice creek that I was dying to play in.

I'm feeling quite tired of social outings now actually. I'm so ready just to stay at home for the rest of the week. Have quite a bit of uni work to catch up on, so good timing!

teoh,

party all night long

So last weekend was party after party after..nope, actually it was just those two. Cat's & Ann's 21st birthday parties were both on the same day, one after another.

Catherine's was a Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter high class tea party, located at One Tree Hill picnic grounds, a rather clever theme I thought. I was told to wear a touch of 'mad hatter'-ness or wacky, and my family helped my put together this strange costume with a bowler hat and giant gold ribbon as my bowtie. And then no one else dressed up =_= except tim and his polka dot shirt. Grr. Haha, but it was pretty fun.

Cat & Lauren put a lot of effort into setting everything up! It looked beauuutiful! The classy food was delish and the hot tea came in handy as it was quite cold up in the Dandenong ranges. We had a good time! Happy birthday tomorrow Cat!

And then it was on to Ann's birthday. Boy I was stressing out on this one, as I had a rather ambitious project to complete and it was all done rather last minute. I had recruited my brother to help me create a life size cut out of one of Ann's many Korean actor/singer idols, so I could present it to her as her boyfriend! It turned out very well thanks to my brother's high creative talent.

The party was held at Gertrude Hotel in Fitzroy, which was quite a nice venue. I'll be curious to know what the bill was, but it was well staffed and very neat. It was a very nice turn out and I enjoyed the night. Dave used his magical talents to make a fantastic performance with his guitar as usual. I wasn't very happy with my speech at all, but Kim Bum made up for it and saved my ass. Happy birthday Ann.

teoh,

To go or not to go!

I am in the midst of planning my July holidays, and it's quite stressful/indecisive. When I found out we actually get four weeks of holidays, and I only had one exam (increasing chances of even more holidays), I was so determine to go over seas. No way I want to spend my last real holiday at home doing the usual, and especially not at work.

So since my sister is on her last year in the UK, I thought it'd be a good time to go to Europe! I haven't been before, and I'm quite eager to experience it. Since I'm not a big traveler, I'm aiming for about just over two weeks. I know it's not as long as most people do it, but I don't like to travel for too long!

Since I'm going alone, I was also thinking of doing a tour, Contiki or TopDeck. They have some nice ones that give me a taste of all over the place for about 12 days, for around 2k. Accommodation is hotels, which is nice and it contains most of the travel fees and some meals/activities. So I'm pretty happy with that.

HOWEVER. Now I'm having a financial crisis. Because flight tickets are ridiculously expensive. I was expecting around 2k, but the cheapest I can find at the moment is 2.6k with Singapore airlines. =_= what the hell. so that's like 4.8k together with the tour, and then +spending money, I'm looking at well over 6k.

I really want to go, but now I'm not sure if it's worth it/can afford it. On top of that, we're also going to the snow that holidays too. Eep.

Decision decisions. And prices only get higher from here on!

teoh,

=_=

I have bitten off a bit more than I can chew at the moment.

Stress!
