Ashes First Test: Australia’s victory

admin November 26th, 2006

Wai~ <3 Come on Aussies come on~! Great game! ^^

It was second day at the Gabba, and after getting England all out for 157, Ponting didn’t enforce the follow-on, meaning Aussies up for bat.
We declared at 1/202 (Anderson making a pretty cool runout on Hayden) with Langer making his century.

England was up for batting their 2nd inning on the 4th day.
After the 3rd wicket, Australia just wasn’t getting any wickets, and I was beginning to get worried.
Turned out I had nothing to worry about for this test; Australia took 5 wickets by the end of the day.

The game ended with Warnie and Clark taking down an impressive 4 wickets each, Lee and McGrath; one each.
The Englands totalled up up to a good 370 for second inning (with Pietersen and Collingwood both missing out on their centuries by just a few runs… Ouch!), but Australia still leads by 277 runs.

Man of the match: Ricky Ponting.

1st year exams are over

admin November 23rd, 2006

Yatta ne~! *bounces* I finito my exams desu!! <3

Had math today which I thought actually went alright,
despite the “I’m so screwed”s throughout yesterday.

After that, hung out with Jono, Allen (A.K.A. Ricecooker… >.> Jessika’s fault!), Jess’ka, Dani, Amy and Lily~
We were gonna have pancakes at the rocks but they were still renovating ><
So we went Ichi-ban Boshi instead… stupid long line ><
So hungry by the time we went in ><
But the food was good though so =)
Had a “very hot ramen” which wasn’t very hot… (ricecooker thought it was though)

^_^ And THE ASHES!!!!!!!!
WAAAAAAAAAAIIII~~~~~~

We declared with one wicket left, got 602 runs in our first inning~! <3
Ponting missed out on his 2nd century =( =( =( =( =(
Aww, awesome work though, Captain!

England’s batting right now~

All the stuff about Glenn McGrath being old and shit~ ><
He got 2 wickets <3 (Including a funny collision catch)
Stuart Clark got one too so they ended 2nd day at the Gabba with England on 3 for 53

Ahhhhh~~!!~~!!~~!! *on cloud nine* <3

EDIT: My star sign says…

“You are in an emotional box seat and may be fooled into thinking favours and affection automatically come your way. However in reality, id someone scratches your back, they will expect the same courtesy in return.”

Andrew, if you ever read this anymore, does it mean what I think it means…?

Anyhow, gotta jet and relax~~
Catchyas!
Take care and God Bless! Xx

Genetics Exam

admin November 14th, 2006

Finishing our genetics exam (which, by the way, killed me in the worst ever possible way… I don’t want to think about it), we went to the beach ^.^ (Despite living on literally 6 hours of sleep in the past 48 hours X_x)

Eric, Jess, Tracy, Ian, Josh, Emily, Micky, Kirsten, me & Andrew went Coogee beach…
Jeyran, Wendy & Carol came along but left right after since they haven’t swimming suits ><

It was really nice though, relaxing to the sound of the crashing waves and chilling in the sun (more like “BBQing” for Andrew though >.~)

We had a good time all in all (after all that stress) ^.^

Instead of studying…

admin November 7th, 2006

Met up with Andrew~
Yeah, went out with him instead of studying ><
But I studied yesterday and I’m entitled to play ><
(One day work, one day fun… unless you’ve exams on the same day or one 2 consecutive days)

Good choice? Bad choice?
We’ll find out.

2 aches

admin November 5th, 2006

Woke up in the morning with the sharpest jabbing pain in my right ribs and kidney…
>< OUCH!

Met up with Andrew today and ate at Bankstown…

After, our family (minus Andrew) went Yum cha…
Had the worst persisting headache >< OUCH!

Had a haircut…
(I mistaken a male hairdresser for a lady -.-’)

Then went home and slept, hoping the headache would go away… and it didn’t.
On top of that, the jabbing pain came back again to my ribcage.

Gah, it sucks.

Bad bad baaaaaaad day!

admin November 3rd, 2006

A bad bad start to a bad bad day would have to be stepping out of the car and landing on a puddle of mud, having it all over your leg and thongs, badly.

I think I managed some on my dress as well.
Go me!

Another bad start to a bad bad day was being 30 minutes late for the first class.
Usually it’s not so bad but having to travel 2 hours for 2 hours worth of lesson on the last day of uni AND being so late is NOT my idea of fun.
Weather was gloomy too.

But the thing that made it worse was, despite all that, having a bad bad stomach ache without medication handy.
I got out of the train station and almost stacked it, twisting my waist badly and giving me a scare.

Right waist aching, I called my dad to pick me up.
Decided to skip, I rested until 9…
I thought, “wait a minute, this can be a fresh start since the day couldn’t get any worse”

Hm.
Nup.

So I asked my dad to drive me to station only to get yelled at for not telling him earlier…
Me flaming like a lit cigarette tip, I slammed the door only to remember I’ve forgotten the keys and couldn’t go back in for my umbrella or jacket ><

Scrap that.

I walked to the station, on the bus and to my tutorial.
Yep, I went uni only for that tutorial (but I had to since I wanted to get my math test back - which wasn’t as great as expected anyway - still I’m glad… could’ve been a lot worse).

Hung out with Jess in the math area for a while (she was having a crisis of her own) because it was pouring outside.
Having no umbrella nor jacket (and being in a SHORT dress), I was freezing my ass off like crap… but I managed on the trains without sneezing too much.

I’ve been putting off this form I had to fill for Centrelink (which was due today), so I was gonna go home, fill it in and then hand it in…

…But dad went to pick my grandma up from the hospital and drop her to nursing home and had all these frustrating paperwork to do… he couldn’t make it home till 3…

I found that out when I was at Campsie… so I had no keys to go home, no place to go…

So I decided to go gymming at Andrew’s (North Strathfield… which takes a bit of effort going to).

Upon arrival, I received a call from dad telling me he’d be home by 1/2 an hour…
Told him I’d be shopping and would come back at 3:30 (come on, I was nearing the gym…)

After 15 mins on treadmill, 15 on cross trainer and a 3-set pull up, I was sweating like ew.
Got back to Burwood station, got castigated at by my dad for being irresponsible, forgetful and too dependent.
Pure massacre.

Yeah. Not my day.
Didn’t really improve either.

Dad is still in grunge mode,
Andrew was probably suffocating (I went into petty-mode on him)…
I’ve gone emo…

And it’s not even that time of month yet!

But it’s all good.
Just not a day I should’ve woken up to.

Life’s a bitch sometimes.
Too bad I can’t slap it ’round.

Makes a nice thought though.

Amy’s 19th and drinking with our tutor

admin November 2nd, 2006

Amy organised a beach outing and everyone was hyped up to go beaching~
I was one of them who said they’d go~!
But thing is, I had to be back by 2pm for my genetics lab~ =(
I was still gonna go though…

They ended up leaving at 12:30 and by that time, I kinda changed my mind~
So I didn’t end up going with the gang yet again!
That’s 3/3 times I couldn’t make it - with the most valid reason.
>< Damn!

Anyway~ Genetics lab (our last one!!!) was alright, another surprise test (which this time really was a surprise because the last time we had a test, Tim said it was our last)~!

The after lab bit was fun, glad I went! =)
Went uni bar with Tim, Josh, Em, Anthony and David~
Tim bought first rounds (3 jugs) and Josh bought second (2 jugs… geeze, I wonder if they ended up finishing all that alki!)~
It was fun despite being the only one not drinking from the group~
But heck, I was just as drunk as the ones who’d had a few dozen of beers >_>
But yeah, uni bar was packed because it had this let’s-get-shit-faced end of year party thing going on~
Ended up leaving later than planned but all’s good~
Great even! =)

Week 14’s Gray day

admin November 1st, 2006

Met up with Gray and went gymming from 9:30 till 12:30~
I’m starting to get hooked on gymming, but still not too thrilled about weights~
>< Ouchie afterwards!

Then went uni the rest of the time.
Had 2 math lessons and both of them, Amy & I went high on pot and natural sugarless sugar surge~ ^^;
That was exhausting being that drunk
And what’s with the song I’m listening to?! (Evanescence - Call me when you’re sober)

At night, I went over to Gray’s~ ^_^
Wondering why I am allowed?
My dad went to hospital overnight for my grandma, so I went over to his house and came back home in the wee hours.
