Meme: Favourite Post

From Zhang Yang. Since I've been tagged, I guess I should do it...

Link One must be about family.
Link Two must be about friends.
Link Three must be about yourself.
Link Four must be about something you love.
Link Five can be anything you choose.

Link One: This one mentions them.
Link Two: I don't seem to talk about them at all, so have a look at my blog links page.
Link Three: But...this is a blog! It's all about me!
...Very well. You may have this one.
Link Four: For those not paying attention, I love Bionicle. And cars. And my computers, all of which have names. And Tabasco sauce...
Link Five: ...Anything?
Anything!

I tag... Whoever is reading this and hasn't done it yet. You know who you are.

Wiring in from Down Under!

So I arrived safely, and after several days of shopping (along with a few headaches which were fortunately ironed out) I guess I can call myself settled in at my new residence. When initially stepping in it all looked rather bare, but now it's a homely little place. Check it out:



The good thing about the apartment is that it was already clean when it got to us, barring the odd insect (there was a centipede in my room yesterday). I do wish the plugpoints were not located so close to the radiator, but I guess we live with what we can get. Also, I have known my current room-mates for about a year, and they are good, hardworking people who are willing to cook and don't have horrible habits. So... I guess it's all great.

Next is the orientation week, followed by classes commencing the week after that. Will report on how that goes. Till next time!

Downloading...97%

You know how when you've been downloading that 3GB file for two hours, and the meter is slowly inching towards one-hundred percent, and it's close to finished, and you worry that in the last ten seconds the download will fail, forcing you to start over and wait another two hours?

It's like that. Except that restarting will be more painful that could be possibly imagined. Because I've been downloading for over three years.

I'm at the last ten seconds, and I'm praying my internet connection will not fail me.

The next post will be from Australia. See y'all then.

Always Looking Forward

I can't remember the last day of school. Well, I can remember it, but it didn't register as a last day. It was just a normal day, only with people commenting at odd moments, "This is the last FMT." "This is the last presentation." "This is the last 6P." It didn't really connect, you know? And then when I left the class, people didn't say goodbye, they said "See you on Sunday."

Sunday, right. The day of the Graduation High Tea. We took lots of photographs and binged on the frankly average food and took every opportunity to cheer or applaud. And at the end of it all they said, "See you next Monday."

Monday is the day we fly off to the unknown.

Never back, always forward. There are no goodbyes, only an optimistic au revoir. Because we will meet again, and until then, we move in the only direction we can.

But we can't help glancing back from time to time.
