Leave behind

Things I'd miss most when I leave Melbourne:

1. Trams (the tram sound reminds me of my 1st day in Melbourne)
2. Food (it's hard to leave them behind)
3. RMIT University (this goes without saying)
4. Concept Blue (miss especially the corridor, will nvr forget the smell)
5. The people (who walked pass me in Chinatown, Uni, Train stations...etc)
6. Night clubs (ahhHHh...how much of sober time spent inside)
7. My carefree lifestyle (those were the times...the times...the times...)
8. Foreign friends (this is the hardest part to overcome...It's really hard when the day comes)
9. Shopping (sometimes Melbourne fashion surprises you)
10. Melbourne itself!!! (this goes without saying too)

Things I'd be bringing home when I leave Melbourne:

1. Myself (a whole new me who look at things differently now. One of my tutors made me realised how much I've changed over the period of 3.5 years. The values I've learnt during the years have indirectly changed my perspective, leading me into a better person which I hope I'm able to bring it out)
2. Emptiness (an empty heart trying to reorganise its senses and systems so as to adapt to the real home as soon as possible)
3. A new identity (I'm no longer fit to state my occupation as 'student' whenever I come across this empty boxes. The days of recalling myself as a student...)
4. Skills and knowledge (finally, it's time to put my uni studies into practice which I think is one of the most precious things I brought back from Melbourne)

J.A.W.S Concert

Justin, Alex, Wilfred, Stephy!!!
I can't believe I can see Stephy in person and can't believe she's so near me!!! Can seee her so clearly...It was soooooo near, and I only paid 49 dollars for a seat as near as 189 dollars!!! Isn't that cool?!!! And Alex was just beside our seats during the opening, his smile, sooo charm, nearly fainted for that!!! And I must admit that he looks much more handsome than I expected. At least I like him more now.

And Stephy, she looks like a princess. Thinner and fairer than I thought. And...she waved to me!!!! I was waiting tfor the person who sat in front of me to bend down a bit so that she can see clearly...hohoho...All four of them looked to our side quite often...I've nvr shout so loud before in a concert, I was shouting Stephy!!! Stephy!!! Alex!!! Alex!!! Of the four, Alex looked the most to our side and he was damn alert....No doubt, Wilfred(Lau Hou Loong) and Justin(Zhak Tin) can sing really well!!! They were quite funny though, especially Justin, looks more like a kid. I think he's going to sing his throat off...

Well, Stephy did not sing that well, but at least better than I've expected. Her performance was a bit shaky though. Mmm, she kinda fade off from my top 3 list before seeing her today, but then after seeing her, she's back into the list again. Alex was kinda funny though, at least his live singing was not bad. Most importantly, he's handsome and darn cute^^ Can't believe I'm cheering for Alex now...I still feel that he and Stephy has this husband and wife look. Their duet was the part which I've been waiting for. Finally can see them holding hand in hand in fromt of me...Sweet and nice^^

Many thoughts ran through my nerves as I was watching the show. It's time for me to make some serious decision...It once again proved to me how much I love to work as part of the team. I want it so badly and am really passionate and excited to be involved in the industry.

Food feast

For the past two weeks, I've been eating out almost everyday with friends, mainly to do some catch ups before I leave. My beloved darling Franco, is of coz almost 99% present in all the sessions. Now I realised time is really running out when he counted the number of restaurants and places we need to go in less than three weeks time. Mum will be arriving nxt week, which also marks the busiest time of the semester for me.

The highlight to eat place for the week is Bimbo Deluxe @ Brunswick. It's not a restaurant, but a pub which serves pizzas and alcohols. If I'm not mistaken, they served pizzas for $4 on every Thursday. It's the gourmet sort of pizzas, not one of those which you can grab from Druids or Inck. Katie will be leaving to Japan on Friday, so thanks to her, she invited us to Bimbo yesterday. Funky place, with 'babies' all around as their trademark. The place was rather dark and gloomy though. Knowing that I'm not going to see her when she's back from Japan, we stayed there longer than we expected. Wanted to leave at 9 but since Georgette and Charlie arrived, we dragged it till around 1 am. Special intro to their Lychee Vodka. It was not a teary goodbye though, coz looking at Katie just reminded me of all the crap jokes we taught her, it just makes me laugh.

On Tuesday, we finally went to Squires Loft @ South Yarra. A place Franco have been telling me since 3 years ago. He really wanted me to dine in the place so Richie, Franco and I went. All of us dressed up smart and nice, except for Richie. HAHAHAHAHAHA...Franco had a tie and suit on, while I dressed up nicely, and Richie...HanaaaahHHHh...Joking! Richie wore a shirt^^. We pampered ourself with a steak and a cocktail each. Can't believe that small amount of alcohol consumption managed to make me and Richie a little drowsy =.=... Guess it was long since we last consume alcohol. Three of us walked along Toorak Road and realised how nice it was to walk freely in the middle of the night, while admiring the nice shops around.

Currently anticipating the club we're going tomorrow at Prahran. Apparently it's a gay/les bar. Knowing how curious and how much I've always wanted to go to this kind of bars. Too bad, my acting partner is now here.

New sets of emotions

Finally, I took my time off and initiative to post an entry. Thanks to a friend who reminded me that I've been neglecting 'My Circle' for some time.

I realised the conversations among friends nowadays have changed. Our lines are something like this: 'What should we wear for our interviews?', 'Should we be more formal or cool?', 'Do you think you'll get along with your future colleagues?', 'Have you send application to any companies?'...on and on and on...

It's funny how all of us are experiencing a new stage of life. Ask me, and I'll tell you I'm really excited and looking forward to it. Looking forward to it, but there should be a preparation to face the sacrifices after the excitement.

It's 12 minutes passed twelve now. Exactly one month before I'm due to head back home. It's another thing which I'm looking forward to, and at the same time, not really looking forward to. ^^ I'm sure everyone who's reading this line understand what I mean and how it feels. In one month's time, I'll be leaving the place who have shaped me and accompanied me for the past 3.5 years. The place which left me with tonnes of memories and unlimited access of freedom(hohoho, mum's gonna stare straight into my eyes if she sees this^^). The place which makes me realised, 'Hey, who says it's hard to find friendship in uni years?' I found heaps here!!!

Since the first day I arrived at Melbourne, enrolled myself into the course, started my first conversation with people outside Malaysia, I know I'll have the chance to know friends coming from different parts of the world and I know I'm going to face separation with them in a few years time. All I can say is, time flies! It's not the fact that we are not going to see each other anymore, it is the experiences and things that happened among all of us, together as a whole: The jokes, bitching, laughing, bingeing...

Nowadays when I bumped into friends in the uni, they'll asked me when am I leaving. Told them when, and they look at me and said, 'What? So fast...etc etc...' I felt bitter and sourish though everytime I see their reactions...Implies that I'm not going to see most of them in at least 10-15 years time. It's time for me to go through these feelings.
