Caterpillars!!

My plant is having a bug infestation!! with lotsa caterpillars.. i counted.. and there's like 5-6 caterpillars scavenging the plant for leaves... but too bad.. you've all eaten the leaves and now you're gonna starve!! hehe.. *evil grin

See that brown thing behind?.. that's the 'skin' which the butterfly left behind after metamorphosis.. SO MANY CATERPILLARS!! (i only took one particular caterpillar, there's still 5 crawling around)

And this particular caterpillar is about to become a cocoon.. quite cute ehh.. hopefully it doesn't fall off when the wind gets too strong.. THere's only the stems left behind.. no more leaves!

Oh.. and there's a pile of shit left beneath the plant... shit of the leaves.. haha!

Reminiscence

Met up with yanling today for dinner... i walked to where we were supposed to meet, the path which i used to take to go to school when i was just Sec 1 and 2. As i walked.. I just felt like walking on this path forever.. and not ever stop. It's a strange feeling, walking on that path which i haven't took for the past 7 years.

Then i reached my old secondary school, which I attended in Sec 1/2 before moving to the new school. And i can see the canteen, the basketball court and the classrooms. The old kampung school hasn't changed a single bit. It's more tattered and torn, nobody's living in there and the weeds are growing everywhere..

It's abit like going into an uninhabited old castle where the plants grow everywhere covering the castle into a pathetic state. Though the school is like a haunted building now, with weed infestation, but I seriously hope it'll stay this way.. old and weed infested.. and curious.

After meeting yanling at the main gate, we headed for the church just next to our school. Though Im a buddhist, but being in a catholic for 12 years (including kindergarten), there's some sort of magical bond between the church and me, and sitting in a church made me feel really relaxed and at peace with myself.

I din pray for anything, i was just absorbing the environment surrounding me, looking at peple singing hymns, people praying, people kneeling, people giving thanks... sigh... if only i had brought my camera, I'd love to show off the church as well as my weed infested secondary school... pristine and clean..

sigh... if only i can return to those days.. carefree and relaxed.. with no troubles at all

Updates

I've got a hall!! In hall 16 too... fyi, its air-conditioned and huge compared to hall 8.. all thanks to jasmine, andy and sophia!!! thanks thanks thanks!!!

Hai.. but too bad.. will be living with a roomie whom I don't know.. a little apprehensive to be living with someone unknown.. but hey! on the up side.. I can make new friends and I can save a whole lot more time travelling.. Guess I'll be moving in on sunday juz before the holidays end..

Hmm.... not sure whether i'll be able to adapt to hall life after such a long time.. but considering the fact that there'll be mountains of reports to do after the term break.. i guess time is really golden and if i can cut short the travelling time... why not?? But i'll definitely miss yanling and shermaine... sob sob... :(

And oh!! i've jus signed up for facebook! I mean.. until now I still don't know how it functions.. but it's quite fun really.. I juz add all the features that my friends sent to me... and just try all the stupid buttons to see what it really is.. haha.... guess i just need a little more time to accustom to it.

And the last sad part of my life: its almost the end of the holidays!! one week holidays is really not enough! Not just for playing... but even if I have to bury myself studying all the notes for an entire week, its still not enough!! Someone has really got to change the system and extend the holidays a little bit more... say 2 weeks!! haha... though its not that possible.. but still!! there's only 4 days to the start of school.. and there's still so much studying to be done!! not fair.. i want to go to unimelb too..... :(

Like a Star

just like a star across my sky,
just like an angel off the page,
you have appeared to my life,
feel like i'll never be the same,
just like a song in my heart,
just like oil on my hands,
oh.. i do love you,

still i wonder why it is,
i don't argue like this,
with anyone but you,
we do it all the time,
blowing out my mind,
you've got this look i can't describe,
you make me feel like i'm alive,
when everything else is a fade,
without a doubt you're on my side,
heaven has been away too long,
can't find the words to write this song,
oh.,.. your love,

~ Excerpt of song lyrics from Corinne Bailey Rae

Dedicated to you, for our anniversary :D

Field trip to the woods!

Went to bukit timah nature reserve for Plant Bio field trip... HAHA... it was raining super heavily, with lightning and all.. but it was because of that that made it fun...

Us in the bus feeling excited and all .. with absolutely NO idea it'll rain afterward..

Well, we were supposed to be walking on the main road only.. wasnt as exciting as the last time i went to bukit timah with my poly dearest mates.. but i was twice or thrice as wet after the rain..

Our dear Prof.. looking casual with a collared tee and backpack..

The canopy of the forest..

And the rain came.. with no help from the umbrellas..

* the rain doesn't really look big.. but it WAS.. all my notes were drenched when my bag was water proof.. it went in through the zips!!

We reached the top!!! to reach for the shelter!! The stranded people all became luo tang ji (chicken that fell into soup)

Me and Andy.. both soaked to the skin

After the rain subsided a little, our Prof led the way down to the entrance thinking that the rain would stop soon... but NONO!! it became bigger again.. and lo behold a lightning struck juz beside us.. and something fell in the woods.. It was really LOUD.. both me and lishi screamed and we couldn't hear each other cos the lightning overrode both our voices.. imagine that!

Us in the bus on the way back to school... still soaked to the skin and heading back for a bloody 2 hour lecture!

Me and Karen were so cold..

And i fell sick after that.... :(
But nevertheless.. thanks PROF for the trip.. and you guys.. for sheltering me in the rain.. hee..

Lovely Thoughts from Melbourne :)
