Uh huh, so it's been nearly two months since I decided to willingly update this blog. I can't lie, I have been so busy and tired that this hasn't really been one of my top priorities. After all, who would I be doing this for but myself? Everyone's got Facebook now.

There is a reason why my life has been so hectic as of late. Apart from cheerleading (the Redbacks are currently training for AASCF states), I have 22 hours at uni per week. That doesn't include a French aural presentation to work on, in addition to other miscellaneous tests and assignments. I also recently got a job at Plush Fish, turned 19 and celebrated it with a trip to Hawaii, a night of wine and chocolates, and partying it up at a club. Furthermore, this week is proving to be a very, um, social one. Thursday was Aa's cocktail night at The Apartment, Lester invited me to Monash's GloBall last night and to the after party, today's gonna be a rehearsal day for Sunday night's fashion show during the Merdeka event at Colonial hotel.

But of course, you'd know that if you have me on Facebook. I don't even know what you're doing visiting this blog. These things are so going out of "fashion" now. I mean, with Facebook, do people still even visit such sites?

Nobody uploads pictures here anymore. And if you're unhappy with someone, a curt 2-liner on your status will do, as opposed to venting out your frustration with a 4 and a half page long rant about so-and-so, all the while dropping subtle (or not so) hints about who so-and-so really is, hoping that the post appears off-hand but at the same time, hoping others can read between the lines.

But I digress.

My point is that since we no longer have to rely on literary skills to express and elaborate on our opinions when simple and direct ambiguity (oxymoron, tell me about it) will suffice, I am seriously considering leaving this blog for good.

The only reason I'm hesitating is because this thing holds so many memories for me. It charts my growth through the teenage years. Now that that phase of my life is soon coming to a close, I think I would like to preserve these remnants of childish fun I had and nostalgic moments that have come to pass. I guess it also adds sentimental value if it stops now, it being not long after my 19th birthday.

This is a very significant and personal moment. I would like to thank everyone who has come here to read about what's been going on in my life as an attempt to keep in touch. (Not so much to the haters who stopped by about 5 years ago and left nasty footprints of vile comments and juvenile remarks.) It means a lot and I hope that we will continue to update each other on things that are happening in our lives and stay friends.

Not really your award winning speech right there but I think it adequately expresses what I had to say. This is it then, I guess. Farewell, Blogger, my friend for the past 6 years. Adieu, au revoir, and all those lovely things.

Run Melbourne was AWESOME!!!

Of course, that was largely due to the fact that I beat my personal best by 2 whole minutes :D

Bib	Name	Gender	Race	Division	Finish Time	Pace	Division Place	Gender Place	Overall Place
20299	TIFFANY CHIN	F	5km Walk/Run	18-29	00:29:46	5.95min/km	133	408	859

WOOT!!

The winners had amazing timings. For instance, the winner of the Men's half marathon (21.1km) was Andrew White with a timing of 1:09:50 and the Women's 5km winner, Isabella Decastella, did it in 17:30!

The target was to raist $400,000 and it was surpassed at $516,952 with the some 14,000 runners alone raising $485,729. Can't wait till next year!

Oh sorry, am i keeping you awake? Maybe i'll wait till you fall asleep and come back later.

I'll try to interrupt your much needed slumber every 3 hours - slam a few cupboards, maybe even cook a meal in the wee hours of the morning, just so you can smell the delicious aromas that will caress your dreams. Because that's how much i truly care, dear.

And also, because that's what i've been experiencing tonight and, why, it is just SO great for health, isn't it?

Someone PUSH me onto the treadmill. Please.

3 nights ago, I dreamt about Fibo Cheer. We were at a competition, completely unprepared. I think we were trying to recall the Space Jam steps or something. It was quite humiliating. I woke up in the morning... missing the team terribly. :(

The weather has bee really nice these few days. So much so that on Tuesday afternoon, I took a nice stroll to uni and it wasn't the usual "Get out of my way, I'm late for class" half-running walks, it was a STROLL. Walked past Calrton Gardens and decided to have lunch there with Joy.

By the way, I didn't take a walk to uni JUST because I felt like it, I'm not THAT free. I had to pick up my French test papers. So I went to the Arts centre at Swanston/Grattan and thought, "I actually recall it being the OLD Arts building. So little me trudged all the way there, in an almost empty campus, only to be told that it was, indeed, the Arts Centre. I left feeling slightly disgruntled that I'd just come from there but yet not minding in the slightest (contradictory, I know) went all the way back, tacking my time to climb up to the fifth floor admiring all the art work along the way. Got lost on the way to Carlton, but that didn't matter either.

All in all, it was a good feeling to get out, and no where to go.

MYER is having sales! But I went and looked around the ENTIRE shoe department yesterday and couldn't find a pair of black leather boots that was worth its price (i.e. all made in China and/or was synthetic) and then I went back to Alberto Piazza (the place that sponsored shoes for the Aa fashion show.
