Post - exams: The first week of freedom.

  

The Final Exam

15th June

• Dinner date with Yen at Ganesha 

Dinner for two after a long day of exams. They were first served with curry puffs and small pieces of butter chicken. Both shook their heads to decline the offer of wine. Butter chicken and beef curry with rice and bread for the main. 

• Dessert at Helados Jauja

Scoops of fine chocolate and raspberry heaven served in the cutest cafe.  

Rainbows

16th June

The children became sticky and smelt of sugar after each class. She wonders what the fuss was with these TNT Sour Straps they were all holding...

Melbourne city in Winter

19th June 

• Trained to Melbourne CBD to meet Uy & Sophia 

She woke up early, then got out of bed late. 

• Caramel frappucino from Starbucks

Too much caffeine makes her alert at night and sets off an unpleasant stomach. She never orders coffee. She wonders why she's been feeling this way for a while. Of course, from all the black tea she's been having, the trips to Gloria Jeans for cold caramel vanilla frappucinos and warm hot chocolate drinks to study, not only that, but also the cafe at Uni - She's been drinking the coffee drug indirectly. 

• Takoyaki pieces for lunch at Gigi 

Every baby octopus dreamed of this. Please meet mouth. 

• DAISO in North Richmond 

Bought a cream beanie and a green notebook cover. Notebook cover does not fit. 

• Dinner at Hungry Jacks 

Nothing beats a walk in the sunset for $5 fries, unlimited drinks and burgers. Wifi hotspot found! 

Good morning Wednesday

20th June 

• Breakfast at Ikea 

Take out the "good" in morning. An impulsive and last minute decision to have breakfast in the morning. Argued over which living arrangements were more appealing. Argued some more about not listening to each other all the time. Argued about the definition of teamwork. Agreed to disagree. 

• DFO window shopping 

A very quiet time of day. 

• Two episodes of The Inbetweeners  

Both squirmed at the sight of blood on the daytime TV show "The Doctors". Watched The Inbetweeners to pass some time before one headed off to work. 

 

It's Friday

22nd June 

• SUPRE factory outlet with Stephinee 

She couldn't wait any longer. Spent a total of two hours browsing in the store for the perfect bargained garment. Most items had sizes that were not accommodated to personal needs; some only had XXS and XXL. Where's S or M?! Nevertheless, both walked out happy with a green bag of clothes to show off to the world.  

• Pizza Hut for lunch 

Two became three, and his new black BMW hatchback. 

• Watched the documentary "Guys and Dolls" back at her place 

Click above. Feel free to agonize over graphic images of...dolls. 

Incoming call:

Woke up in the early morning to him snoring on the other line.
I was pretty surprised my headphones were still intact.

Call ended, duration:

Attack of the Winter blues by B2

Hello! I'm B2, please let me introduce myself for bit: I've been with Karen since she started primary school. She along with her mother chose me in the K-Mart toy aisle and was only allowed to take one of us home (B1/B2). To be honest, I'm still not really sure why she chose me even to this very day. I'm always hanging by her bed now and kept at an appropriate distance from her side - Since Karen is a little bit allergic to dust, she doesn't really like to hug furry things or put plushies near her face when she sleeps. This isn't suppose to sound harmful but I was never allowed to be with her outside. Karen wouldn't let me. She was too scared to bring it to school in case I'll get dirty or worse, lost. It's okay though, Pooh Bunny has been keeping me company after all these years. I wish Karen and her mum find B1 one day, I really do miss him.

A couple of days ago, Karen decided to take a walk in the unpredictable coldness of Melbourne weather. Now she's sluggish as ever and her ears are blocked from the sore throat that's been currently developing. I heard her parents outside in the kitchen tell her off for not wearing warmer clothes around the house and constantly loosing her slippers. Karen hardly ever gets sick, hence she finds it unusual to be in such a state (especially during SWOT VAC). So I thought I'd like to show you her routine in fighting the common cold. I hope these techniques will also help any snifflers out there too! hehe: 

First, Karen makes a hot cup of lemon and honey drink out of the cutest (and therefore her favourite) cup on the shelf. 

I'm going to help out by turning on her Themostat now! If you have a small heater or heat insulators installed: put a bowl of water in your room. The heat will evaporate the water from the bowl, retaining moisture in the air and preventing dryness. This can be done for microwaving food too! Just place a small cup of water along with your food in the microwave and it'll stop food from becoming too dry.

Remember to always take your medicine if you must. 

  

Karen loves the sensation of Tiger Balm ointment. 

This reminds me of the time when Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory got sick and asks Penny to rub his chest and sing "Soft Kitty" to him hehe. 

When Karen tells you to keep snuggly in her text messages, DO IT! 

For Hachiko, Marley & Me, Up, The Notebook, My Sister's Keeper, Life is Beautiful, I am Sam...

...and get plenty of forty winks....sleep zzz. I think I might stay here now. 

It's been a pleasure to greet you tonight. 

I hope you have nice sleep now (like me). Goodnight everyone!

- B2

Goodbye May

Here's.....

Congratulations, we made it to the halfway point guys! I believe the creator of the above .gif is entering into Summer, but here in Australia it's the first day of Winter. I've got 15 days of intense cram sessions (12 weeks of lecture content into two weeks) ahead of me before my granted freedom. I've got my mind set on being surrounded by good warm hearty food and a few good people. I can't wait for the "Hello! I've missed you. TELL ME EVERYTHING!" tight hugs. So time, please bring me closer to these days. 

I'm wishing success to my close friend who's going through VCE Year 12 mid - year exams right now. Remember how unstable we youngins were back then? She's been working so hard throughout the year, the inevitable pressure is there for her but I'm proud at what she's achieved already. I'll always continue to support her studies. I'll also be saying goodbye (for now) to another close friend of mine who'll be travelling overseas for three weeks.

On Tuesday I conversed about the future of having kids one day. It's a one hell of a topic, and one that I try to not get too naive thinking about it. I do find it attractive when guys are good with kids, but to become a parent is another thing. If you asked me as of now, I'll say I'll be happy with one child (maybe two at max?) when my motherly instincts kicks in at it's peak or maybe something happens and I choose not to endure the path of motherhood? I'm about to enter the prime time living it up in the 20's (in six months), so a mini me will be a thought saved for the future - financially stable - career wise Karen (age 32 or not).

Today I shall be heading off to an Aquatic Centre to introduce myself in person for community placements next Semester. If the university confirms my place, then I'll be observing student learning in an afterschool and preschool "Learn to Swim" program. 

I kinda want my Tumblr and Facebook back too. I have the biggest craving for chocolate right now. Yesterday I scoffed down a treat size Turkish Delight and two Rose chocolates. I think I know what that means...I have the biggest craving for chocolate right now. 

Wake up in the morning/afternoon (waking up in general) and feeling like an old person struggling to get out of bed. 

Onwards to the next six months.
