another engagement!

more on that but first...

Justin - wow, that really touched me.. dint realise how much me being there in that lab and the same table u were demonstrating for, helped ya out heaps.. thinking and reflecting abt it now just helps me grasp the meaning of it.. perhaps i should spend more time thinking things over.. hmm, something for 2006..

Sam, Mel - ah my active sleeping habits.. still can't remember that incident, Mel but then again it's become a common thing with me.. not the screaming bit but the active dreams..

anyway, it's good to just kick back and watch a bit of TV after a very active and tiring day.. the beauty of summer hols.. this avro, had my last ever gym session with Matt, and since we decided to do every machine, we made it two hours long.. Chan, his mate from Nelson was down for the week, and so were Shannon and Joe.. and eventually Jian.. in fact everyone i knew seemed to be at Unipol this afternoon from 2 to 4, i.e. Soo Sian, Ruth..

and Christine who was in my pharmacology class this semester, who i didn't speak to during class.. but she recognised me, and we talked abt exams, summer plans, flatting, papers next year, and her pigtails.. the pigtails bit was prob more interesting than the usual first-time-see-student talk.. i dint want to seem boring and thought she looked p cute with her pigtails.. she was quite friendly, eh.. anyway may see her in toxicology - which is part of pharmacology - next year coz she's doing that and neuroscience.. a nice way to cap off the student year though, talking to another student, especially a girl who i recognised but dint really talk to this year..

i guess one gripe i have abt 2005 is my finishing, i.e. thinking of ideas to talk abt, yet unable to quite properly express it in words.. when u read this, u'd think i'd prob had a problem when talking to Christine.. in fact, it went p well, and she actually waved to me as she walked out of the weights room - i think coz there was no guy left or right as she waved..anyway don't have that finishing problem with guys, just girls, esp Lizzie.. always have heaps to say before i actually talk to her but when i talk to her just seem to suddenly hit a block.. a bit frustrating but maybe i'm just a perfectionist.. another thing to work with in 2006..

anyway dint actually do all the machines in the weights room coz some of them are just repeats of the same thing, just perhaps of older tech.. but did cover everything apart from my back which i don't really want to risk before heading off to Cromwell.. i must say this year of weights has gone v well for me.. remarkably well, since it is my first year properly doing weights.. from prob 30 kgs i'm now able to bench 65 kg and maybe 70 kg which is 15 kg more than my own body weight.. and on the abs can do 45-50 kg.. sorry to boast, but since it's my blog it's worth noting down, as i head into 2006 and hopefully another year of weights.. except next year there'll be no Matt :(

after the weights, went body surfing and boarding with Joe and Shannon, who btw is now engaged to his love of long time, Laura, if u dint know yet.. anyway it was a p warm day despite the high cloud.. and it was real good fun.. the waves were huge.. had to learn how to body surf watching Joe and Shannon.. man it's hard.. esp when u can't wear ur glasses into the water.. just makes u more conscious and weary of surfers with boards.. it'll be a nasty one if i collided with their boards.. trouble is without my glasses, i'm short-sighted so hard to tell how far the surfers are from me..

got back just after 6 after all that and now writing this.. a day worth blogging.. and there'll be a few of those in Central Otago.. just need to find a computer for this.. kinda like Sydney.. tomorrow, got painting job and may go skating.. during my free time, learning how to draw ppl.. i really can't.. so that's why i'm practicing..

anyway if u haven't posted yet:
