this is the midexam period and it sure is no fun! lots of studying and stressing out! i'm so glad that i'm done with 3 papers and my next paper is 2 weeks away! lots of time to prepare! yay!
anyhows, just some updates. last sunday i went to church with jolene, victor and agus! after that we picked vanessa up and went to sunnybank for dim sum brunch. the dim sum was not too bad... the ambience was nice. like a super atas restaurant. BUTBUTBUT! the tables were those lousy foldable tables. haha. lame. anyways, after brunch we went grocery shopping at coles.
and then history was made! we took a trolley and entered the supermarket. first stop, vegetables. we were grabbing veggies like nobody's business. and guess what's next? this asian lady walked up to us and asked us if we had took her trolley. and obviously not?! we took our own. and then she got frustrated and still thought that we had took her trolley. then she called her hubby. and then she realised that it was him who had rolled her trolley away. ok. so end of story. we continued our grocery shopping.
next stop, bakery section. oooo.. we see her again. she commented rather loudly for our ears to ear "I f***ing hate Singaporeans. They're so RUDE!" then her hubby replied, "Must you say it so loud?" then she continued, "I don't f***ing care. I want them to hear it!"
this was when vanessa got damn hot... then she just retorted, "look who's being rude?" and she just walked in opposite direction. nownownow... that lady wasn't happy. so she walked back towards vanessa and started hurling abuses at her. she said, "so are you admitting that you are singaporean and you are rude?!" then vanessa got damn angry already. i can't remember what she replied her but she was damn bloody angry. then the psychopath kept saying "you students come here and ruin our lives!" like HUHH?! what the hell did we do to her man? then she said "we are resident here. we hae our rights!" like what the hell then as international students we don't have our rights?!
anyways, she made heaps of groundless accusations and we were just damn annoyed. i butt in and said "you're an immigrant yourself!" then she just said "fuck you!" and walked off. that was when van said "fuck you too!" haha.
then we continued in SHOCK and ASTONISHMENT. it's like how amazing can it be? being verbally mugged by a FELLOW ASIAN. jeez. i wouldn't kick a big fuss if it was a caucasian although that doesn't give them a right to be racist and shit. think about it man. we're the ones that come and contribute to their economy. paying heaps of money on our tuition fees and renting places at disgustingly inflated prices. we keep the aussie economy going damn it. so what if you're PR? we can get our PR anytime also. does that mean that only residents can live in australia? then why does you govt want to attract tourists and students? shut you trap biatch. and we're not useless bums like you who have to come halfway across the world in search of a "better standard of living" because of your lowly qualifications.
anyways, we continued our shopping and was pretty annoyed. and then we were wondering where agus has gone... we wanted to tell him the whole story. and then he appeared with his groceries... and before we could tell him the whole story, we see that lady again at the other end of the aisle. what luck man. piss off bitch! and guess what? she stares, we stared... and we walked off. andandand.. it doesn't stop. she walks up to us and says "why are you walking away?" so then we stopped and waited for her to come towards us. she was pointing at one of us (can't remember who) but as she was halfway up the aisle, she pointed at victor and said, "if i had a gun now i'd shoot you!" and then van asked "ooooh you have a gun?!" then she replied "yes, i have a gun! and i'll shoot you! you want to come to my house and take my gun?!"
that was when we were damn taken aback. then we threatened with the police. and then she was like "let's go. i'm not afraid. you think i'm afraid..? let's go!" but before going she almost attacked vanessa as we were retorting a lot. but vanessa held back a little already because it really wasn't worth it to argue with a mentally unsound lady. anyways, victor and gus tried to pull those two women apart and then victor tried to calm that lady down. but she was all fired up it was difficult. so victor walked with the couple "in search of a police station".
we walked off and left victor to them. as they proceeded to the check our counter, victor asked for the manager and asked for a copy of the tape for the security cameras. then the lady asked "why are we stopping? aren't we going to the police?" then victor said, "before we go i want the tape for the cameras" this was when she started to chicken out! haha. she knew she was at fault. so she told her hubby "darl, let's go. i think we've had enough" then victor replied "are you running away?" then she said, "no? i'm not running away". but she just kept walking off. the store manager wanted to give chase but victor stopped him and asked him to let it go.
what a scene i swear! how lucky could we get huhh?!
anyways, the night before my paper yesterday, i was studying in the library and i felt it was really condusive. only at the cubicles in the quiet zone. anywhere else was just disaster. however, the library closes at 8pm. so i had to move out of there by then. oh gus came to join me after his class at around 6. then before 8 we went off to the BEL computer labs to continue there. van came around 9 with food for us and we studied thru till 1am. MUGGERS FOR LIFE. and then the walk home was quite chilly. and all of us was getting grumpy from being sleepy and stressed. heh.
our "supermodel" trying very hard to study.
mr teletubby trying to memorize...
this was my mess.
stressed up at midnight.
well the paper was pretty alright. a little confusing but i guess i managed quite well. went home after the paper to collect the slip of paper to go collect my parcel from the post office at toowong. came online for a bit and then rushed to catch the bus. after collecting my parcel from the post office, felt too lazy to walk into the mall to get groceries and stuff so i just went home. on the bus on the way home, i saw a rainbow! and then that was when i decided to whip out my camera and snap some shots. sweet. the rainbow was so defined that it felt like there was 8 colours to it! it was beautiful. and when i stepped out of the bus, i took MORE photos of the rainbow. and guess what? it was a FULL RAINBOW. it was magnificently beautiful! the art of nature. :) made my day. to top it all off, there was ANOTHER rainbow on top of it, albeit more feint. i guess that was a good end to a stressful ordeal huh? =D the little things that cheer you up.
this was the best angle i could take the rainbow.
couldn't exactly take the "FULL BOW"
can you see the two rainbow?
now it's back to the books and getting a grip of myself! getting up to date with all the lectures and tutorials before i start freaking out! heh. alrighties. that's about it.
