Yes, people. I am updating.

Shock!!

*grin*

As those in Taylor's already know, I have been back recently to interview people for my Journalism assignments - which, if you're curious, are two hard news stories, both 300 words each. This may sound simple, but I assure you, according to the teacher's guidelines it is most definitely not. I challenge you - do you have the bravery to walk into high end stores in 1 Utama alone, and ask for interviews even knowing that these people will usually reject you? That's what I had to do, and although 8 out of 10 shops refused to talk to me, at least I tried!

Which is quite an achievement for a girl who used to get up on stage for a storytelling competition, and immediately forgot half the words because she was so scared.

I've come a long way since then. ;)

I have blisters on my feet thanks to my pretty but utterly useless for walking new shoes, which is why I'm lying in bed instead of doing my assignment like I should. *coughs*

Okay, people have asked me about Monash. Evidently people didn't bother to read the facts about Monash that I posted earlier, but since I'm so nice, I'll repeat them for you. :P

Monash costs 81k (for Bachelor of Arts) over 3 years. If you go to Australia, you pay the same number, but in Aussie dollars.
Monash has wonderful infrastructure. I haven't seen Taylor's new campus yet, but if I'd stayed at Taylor's I'd have gone the second year and not be able to see the new campus anyway. :P
Monash lecturers are awesome. But so are Taylor's lecturers, so please, seriously. Stop giving them grief.
Monash is really a place to study, which is good for me :P

Truthfully, yes, the classes have been really interesting but they've also required a lot of focus. If you don't listen during the lectures, you're pretty screwed in tutorials. *cough* They're not easy readings either!!

Monash students are also..quite different from Taylors. Very competitive and *cough* are a hell of a lot more hardworking than meeeee. But no, there are no Sams or Sarahs or Siew Lings or Viviennes or Patricks here :P

On a side note, HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY to Vivienne!! Everyone wish her happy birthday if you see her! Sorry I couldn't make it to your party! (Use the glitter la, I'll show you where to buy it :P)

HAPPY I-don't-know-how-old BIRTHDAY to Jared, whom you all will not know because he is my Achaean friend :P Don't get too drunk and fight again!!

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY to Leng Jie, who doesn't read this blog but was my Police Cadet senior! Stay pretty and happy!

Also HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY to Kaley!! Have a great birthday and may all your wishes come true!

Phew, I think that's about it. So many April babies!
