FLIES!

fly

fly fly...

It's spring and all the flora and fauna are "waking up".

Yes, this includes the Musca domestica or commonly known as the house fly.

buzz buzz buzz...not like a bee but like an annoying house fly.

Never in my life have I been annoyed by a fly so much! The flies here are not like the ones back home in Malaysia or shall I say, the tropics. Back home, the flies fly around food or dump sites. Basically, somewhere dirty or yummy. You would still get annoyed by flies but only to a certain extend. Ok, to get my point across, THE FLIES HERE FLY AROUND YOU!!! THEY STAY WITH YOU THROUGH OUT YOUR JOURNEY TO UNI AND THEY'LL STAY AROUND YOUR HEAD! not just landing on your shirt or bug you while eating lunch or something but also while you're walking from one lecture hall to another! THEY STICK TO YOU!!!!! Another point I just thought about...you can feel the fly landing on your skin. Some flies in Malaysia, they're so small/light that you can't feel them...but here, you can. every single one of them.

and they say that there'd be more later in the year and troughout summer =S

This is an Aussie slang regarding flies: -

Aussie salute - brushing away flies with hand

you won't understand how i feel unless you've experienced it here yourself... =( *snif sniff*

OCTOBER

It's already October!!!

WOW!!!!

almost the end of the year..................

how time flies......................

that was cliché (hmm...)

anyway, october seems to be a month of mixed feelings and i think this feeling of joy mixed with dread would be more extreme further towards the end of the year.

you know why????

I'll tell you anyway. hehehehe...

1. my brother is turning 19!!! oops...am i allowed to announce to the world? keke. and for the first time, i'm can afford to buy a present for him with my own "hard earned money". I shared with my older sister. I'm so excited about the present. I really really hope that he'd love it.


2. I'M GOING HOME TO MALAYSIA SOON!!!!!!!!!! YIPPEE!!!! Something to really look forward to. It's not like I'm super duper homesick (I don't know why exactly I'm not =S) but the thought of bullying my younger sister, hugging my parents, living in the comfort of my own home which i grew up in for 20 years of my life, eating authentic Ipoh/hawker food, seeing old school friends, etc, is just......wow. COUNTDOWN = 68 DAYS!


3. the negative part of "October" is that exams are drawing very near. Got loads of tests due, and finals are coming! It's not really a negative feeling though...nothing can beat the dreadful feeling of STPM drawing nearer (glad that's over).
   

Well, there you have it. October.

Picture:

Can't wait to sit on the couch at home and just laze about...i miss that couch =(

i miss sleeping on it.

but of course in this picture, i wasn't sleeping ^^
