Conclusion: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit.

Love never dies.

Truth Be Told..

... I miss you.

And truth be told, I'm lying.

So I just got back from a weekend at Point Lonsdale, where the Oaktree National Campaigns team had our retreat. Which was basically a whole big session of deciding what was going to happen in the next 18 months and planning for it.

Sometimes I felt a little insignificant. It was hard to catch up with all the abstract concepts and the fact that all of them clearly know so much more about Australian politics and Members of Parliament than I do. And I'm the one on the National team. I wish I had more to contribute. Bah.

Anyway, on to happier things! So the retreat came right after I went back to Malaysia for like a week. Yes, a week is a very short time. But I really only had to go to renew my passport. And I had to come back to Australia early for the campaigns retreat, and also my winter subject which starts tomorrow, unfortunately. T.T

But still, it was a good week. Meeting up with friends and all that. I'm proud to say that my driving skills have escaped the ravages of time.... okay that sounded stupid. I may even have improved a little! Because now I can FINALLY (most of the time) reverse park!! Which is something I was never able to do. No idea why.

I'm feeling kind of blah now. Boo.

Do you feel this way too?

Insomnia.

.


So it's 6.10 AM now. And I still haven't gone to sleep. I tried, I swear! I've been trying to fall asleep since 1.30 AM. I played soothing music, I tried to make myself sleepy by playing Solitare over and over and over again.. I even tried listening to my mum's dhamma talks that usually get me sleeping within 5 minutes, tops.

Evidently they didn't work.

Sigh.


It probably didn't help that I slept at about 7 AM yesterday morning. Heheh. And that I woke up at 3PM.

Oh wells I'm still on holiday so it's all good =D

So anyway. On to some more serious stuff. This year, I promise myself that I will work harder at all my subjects... especially the stupid Psychology research subjects that are compulsory.

Because DAMNIT all I want for my 21st birthday present... is to graduate well and get a good job.

That's not too much to ask for, right?

Pleaaaaaaaaseeeeee?

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools...

I See the Light.

I See the Light - Tangled

All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here, blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here, suddenly I see
Standing here, it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be

And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you

Flynn:
All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
Now she's here shining in the starlight
Now she's here, suddenly I know
If she's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go

Rapunzel & Flynn:
And at last I see the light

Flynn:
And it's like the fog is lifted

Rapunzel & Flynn:
And at last I see the light

Rapunzel:
And it's like the sky is new

Rapunzel & Flynn:
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once, everything is different
Now that I see you, now that I see you

And at last I see the light..

Coincidence.

Strange, but I actually prefer some of Sam Tsui's covers as compared to the original versions.

And just for fun:

You're an inspiration, you know.

Flashbacks.

.. to way back when.

Running away is always the easier thing to do.
