personal time zones
Two down and two more to go. Time is passing by too slowly for my own and everyone's liking. The hours and seconds really do slow down during exam periods and everything else in the beginning of the semester till the week before SWOTVAC goes by in a second and a half. Just can't wait till the following Saturday after this weekend before I'll be cosying up in my own comfy bed, sipping 3-in-1 Ipoh White coffee, couching in the living room and enjoying football at its world best in the comfort of my own home.

For now, it's crunch time as I've got to focus the rest of my brain power to the last two papers of the final week of the exam period. Easier said than done.

The last three weeks have been spent couped up in the Peter Waylen tutorial room in IH where approximately four to six of us will gather in the bright sea blue walled room, every day and night to study, play, listen to music, and watch random video clips and animation thingies on our notebooks. It's got a lingering strange smell now, reason being the multitude of people moving in and out of the room every hour and in addition to the various food being eaten in it including pizza, almost every night, coffee, milo, tea, and an assortments of chips and biscuits. One could get really fat and stuffed from just hanging round there every day. That person would be me. The pounds have really been creeping up on me. Damn winter seasonal hunger pangs.

World Cup fever is here and well alive in IH as well what with the Australian team qualifying for the WC in what seemed forever. I'll be on the red and yellow side once again supporting the Spainiards as I did four years ago. As most would already know by now, of Spain's slaughtering of Ukraine where they went down crashing with 4-0. If only I had managed to watch it but alas no. Well, at least I can comfortably and confidently say that they would be able to get into future matches when I'll be back home enjoying the beautiful game. And I didn't know that there existed so many Iker Casillas fans in IH as well. Hooray for cute Spanish goalkeepers!

Moving away from the world of exams and football (not soccer, damn it!), life has been pretty interesting. A few people have permanently left IH already. Them being the Med students going off on their third year research study thing in the UK for a year before returning to the University of Melbourne to complete their degree but I doubt that they'd be coming back to IH. So, it's almost as if I might not see those two again. Unless of course I make the effort to visit them in either Penang or Singapore where I'm in the middle of the two places. Heh. The end of the semester is approaching with the exchange students leaving in about a week time. Most will be returning to the USA, China, Canada, Japan, or Britain. Must remember to get their contacts before they leave too. It gets quite depressing after a while when you see people you've just met and they're going already. Even though it's only been three months, it feels like you're known them for a year or so. I suppose time really does pass at different modes and phases in a college.

Speaking of college, the amount of people in IH has been reduced to about half the people as it used to be. The main reason would be the people leaving for greener pastures or yellow if you want, and also people finishing exams earlier and faster. By this time next week, there'll be only three 8-seater tables filled during meal times. And I'll be around to witness that. It's pretty sad. Hopefully my next semester's exam timetable won't be as skewed as this one. Oh man. I'm starting my quoting of random QM2 notes now. Perhaps, I should return to it soon.

Like now. On a last note, watch more football, dress warmly (if you're here down under), study hard but play harder, and will return with my last post before I leave for home next week. Ciao!
