I'm a couch potato. Haha..and that's the truth. My idea of holiday includes just slacking around the house doing absolutely nothing and watching a hell lot of TV.

And here's a review (a very short one) on the stuff I've watched.

I absolutely HATE Miley Cyrus. Sorry, hate would not be the right word. LOATHE. What would suddenly cause this sudden dislike of her? Because, I watched her "Party in the USA" video. She cannot sing. Fullstop. Thats it. Her voice is all synthetic-y. All computer generated.

Rihanna. Shudder. How can people even think that Lady Gaga is a man when everything clearly points out that Rihanna's the actual man? I used to think she was quite pretty, quite ok. Well not anymore. Fireflies by Owl City. Okay, so they don't have the best vocals. But for some strange reason, I like the song. Haha. It's actually stuck in my head now. :) Now see this? This is GOOD synthetic and computer generated.

Now movies:

Yes, today, finally, I watched (yes, Phil) High School Musical 3. Hahahahahha. Whilst switching to Twilight during commercials. Sigh.

My review: The cheesiest scene would have to be that scene when Gabriella suddenly pops out from the crowd singing while they were at that basketball match. It was so incredibly cheesy that I winced the moment she popped out.

And the way Troy and Gabriella stared at each other with looks that were positively oozing with overbearing affection. *shudder*

Look, I'm a romantic. May not seem so but I'm the one with the whole waiting for prince charming to show up thing. Haha. But THAT? Is just TOO much. Not just HSM, Twilight had its share of incredibly sappy moments too. I know, it's like I'm having a bad-movie marathon.

But it's not too bad. It had some good moments I suppose.

Ok, when Twilight first came out, I used to think that Robert Pattinson cast as Edward wasn't that bad. Not as bad as Kirsten Steward cast as Bella. But he has the same effect on me as Rihanna. The more I look at him, the more hideous I think he looks.

So it comes down to this. Within hours, we'll be apart. And then?

Yea man. Yeap..graduation party was yesterday. So signals the end of another part of my life. Not to mention one that I'll definitely miss - all our crazy moments and ridiculous times. 

I enjoyed myself..haha..of course..

There was free-flowing wine. Of course I can't order alcohol from the bar, what with me being under-18 and everything. But hey, I can't order alcohol, that doesn't mean I can't get my hands on one. xD hehe. But a few mouthfuls of wine aint much..

It was on a cruise..so the view was awesome..dance floor was awesome (well i enjoyed it at least)..I was partially deaf from the loud music when we finally docked back..haha..

And..pictures..xD

The ladies of my class (+tiff) getting ready in the hotel. 

At the dock.

Harbour bridge. 

Us and Alex, our awesome chem lecturer who constantly feeds us with chocolates. :)

On the dancefloor.

BL1, I'll miss you guys. :)

(and the rest, I'll post your pictures when somebody uploads them on facebook..haha)

~Mel

Ello..well clearly..there isnt anything much for me to do during halloween..

 can anyone guess who this is?

 its more obvious here..but yea..guesses?

Hahahahha..soo..

there's this Halloween Pizza and Pasta Dinner tonight at UniLodge..and as usual for the free food events, we had to sign up..but for today, because of the Halloween special, there was a lucky draw, where u basically draw stuff out of a box (like duh, you don't need me to tell you how a lucky draw works). 

I put my hand it and picked out a star thingy..showed it to the people in charge and they all exchanged glances..

I was thinking..well..can i get my little box of sweets? (that's what everyone was getting)

Then they said..there, that gumball machine..you won it..

WHAT??

I was thinking..are you kidding me? Lol..coz moments ago when I was in the line, I pointed to the machine and told my friend, "Aww..I want one of those.."

Haha..well I do have one now.. xD

xD Mel

firstly.. kudos to Mel for keeping this blog alive !

So I was walking back to the campus library from oporto's when Zhi Yen tugged my arm and pointed to the sky..

  ~Jesus is Life~

  ~Jesus = hope~

 ~Jesus = hope~ 

Yea, so I'm pretty random.
There I was, sitting in Kelly's (grill & restaurant), waiting for my food and something pops in my head.
That candle poem by William Shakespeare that we learnt in..er..form....cant remember.

Anyway, yea, I couldnt remember the words of that poem so I was sitting there, scrunching my nose (sam, u probably know this face from sitting so close to me during exams), concentrating, trying to force it out.

Finally.. I managed to.. =) so let me take you guys down memory lane:

Life's Brief Candle

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools,
The way to dusty death,
Out out brief candle.

Life's but a walking shadow-a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the day
And then is heard no more,
It is a tale, told by an idiot
Full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.

sorry the format of it, I remember words..not format.. *shrug*
oh, and kelly's lamb ribs were goooood..but the pork ribs were a disappointment, Hurricane's still rule for their pork ribs. xD

Hmph. So here's the sad story of the amount of internet i have here. 12 GB for 12 months. That's prepaid because I 'm still under 18 and I don't have a guardian to help me get a postpaid plan.

So yes, I'm stuck with with 12 GB for 12 months.
And recently (about 4 days ago?), I was happily surfing the net and then suddenly, they told me that I have no credit left and therefore, I cannot access to the net anymore.

Yeaaaa...

I checked again and again. For 2 days. I emphasize- 2 days.

And nope, I can't access to the net. And I was devastated wondering how the hell did I finish up 12 GB when I don't even download ANYTHING.

So, I couldn't stand not having internet access anymore. And off I went on my merry way to purchase more. And I did.

$49 for 4 pathetic GB.

So, yesterday, I switched on my computer and clicked on Safari, wanting to go to My3 to recharge.

And then I realised.

That yes. I did have internet. Because I clicked on Yahoo and the page loaded. So I went to My3 and checked.

I have 7GB left. 7GB.

And I have already bought another 4GB for $ 49. What the hell for??

In conclusion, I hate internet services here. THEY CHEAT ME.
I'd rather stick to my slow but trusty Dial-up back in Malaysia any day.

~Mel

I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do in my life damnit.

I have absolutely no intention of doing anything related to chemistry for the rest of my life. So bye bye pharmacy.

I have absolutely no intention of staying in a laboratory for the rest of my life. So bye bye biotechnology and all you lab-related careers.

I have absolutely no intention of doing maths for the rest of my life either. So bye bye to actuarial science and all that crap.

I have absolutely no intention of doing anything so much as related to business. So NO business.

What? Med? You think its so easy? *rolls of eyes*

So??

~Mel

Yes. That's all these past few days have been. 

If you are wondering why my Facebook name is Ivana Keila, its only for a week till the Killer Game ends. We've all changed our names so the other collegians cant hunt us down hehe.

Some creative inspirations (mostly from SNL):

- Ivana Keila = I wanna Kill Ya.
- Anita Gofradump = I need to Go for a Dump
- I-Sheet M'Drawrs = I shyt my drawers
- Hous bin Pharteen = Has been Farting
- I-bin Pharteen = I've been Farting
-Yuliqa M'diq
- Graabir Bobees
- M'Balz Es-Hari

U figure the rest out. LOL!

Week 5 is starting which means its time for stress and breakdowns!

I have:
3 Tests which counts towards our final grade
1200 word Bio research report
Descriptive Maths Verbal + Written Report
Predictive Maths Written Research + Oral Presentation
AND a 2000 word essay due Thurs. Stupid A-hole of a teacher rejects our thesis statements like 9 times and only approves it during the weekend. (And we cant start until it gets bloody gets approved) OMG! UGHHHH!

Ohh and Currie's Killer game starts this week.. Great timing, cant wait to get killed studying in the damn library or on the way back to our rooms in the middle of the night =.=

Stress aside, we've had our fair share of fun the last few weeks. Now its time to hit the books =/ The A400's finally got a chance to set up an event for Currie Hall. We were assigned to organise the Welcome Dinner for the Uni Freshies in Sem 2. Theme was Op Shop Night! (We were supposed to grab whatever we can from charity stores and 'creatively' mismatch all our clothes) Had a good time with the new batch of A400's =).

some of the wacky stuff people had on

24 people.. and more than half of our floor moved out..(mostly for uni) the atmosphere has really changed. Not much noise, craziness, fun, nonsense anymore. I know its not a good thing, but i miss how we could always just walk into each others room in the middle of the night and talk until we got ready for school the next morning without even sleeping XD. And also the funny fact that at the stroke of midnight everyone would just come out for supper and we would just sit outside chilling. ok enough with the emo-ness.. it isnt all that bad now tho. We've gotten closer to the new batch of A400's and its been fun so far =)

Went for Currie's River Cruise during the weekend. Though most were uni students, it turned out to be pretty fun. Theme was Gangsters & Flappers. Loved the old school music on the dancefloor. Most disappointing thing was that there wasnt a free flow of drinks like everyone thought there was haha. Solution? Headed to The Deen and Paramount after.

Also, we've currently been helping Kenneth and Calvin out with their Media Project, creating a movie trailer. They came out with the idea of making a horror/thriller, whereby Thinn is the psychotic girlfriend of Joseph, the guy who is having an affair with Olivia. It also seems that Joseph has been having lots of affairs with other girls, thus the string of murders and bloodtrails.. lol!

Michelle, Juonn with longer hair hahaha

Me and Theresia got the honours of being suffocated. Me by a pillow XD

It wasn't easy.

What's on the menu for today's pot luck?

 The creamy mushroom sauce

 Array of food

 The steak

 Another array of food

 And yet another array of food

Well..i forgot to mention that I BAKED for the first time! Whoopee!

And here's proof: 

YUMMY?

I know..it's hell a lot..well of course, i wasn't the only one baking..i also baked with Su Yiin, Sara, Zhi Yen and Charins who are pro-bakers. 

Well, there are some successes like my honey-kaya cupcakes and Zhi Yen's carrot-walnut cupcakes but of course, there were failures too. 

But generally, I say good job man!

So what's Chef Melissa (lol) going to attempt next? 

THIS! Peppered steak with creamy mushroom sauce! 

It's for tomorrow's pot luck dinner, so wish me luck! Hope I can get this right. =D
