500 days of Summer, Autumn and a lil bit of Winter!

May 23, 2011 by thejessicat

 

I must admit that when I first arrived in Melbourne, I had a pretty hard time adapting to the weather.

It was temperamental and yet excruciatingly cold when the sun sets!

 

They say its very likely to experience 4 seasons in ONE DAY. That's how unpredictable it is.

 

The sun shines brightly during the day but the cold wind is enough to give you chills anytime

 

And you call that Summer? Yeah, I arrived in mid February – when it was in the middle of Summer.

I'm sorry, if ya think Australian Summer this year is anything remotely close to any other day in Malaysia, you're terribly wrong.

 

You would never want to be caught dead outdoors in the early mornings

it's FREEEEEEZING!

 

As mentioned, it's not too bad during the day but being typical Malaysian, I'm so used to wearing very

little clothes that I actually forget about how cold it is outside

 

A random mini green pinecone we found.

Whose palm is that btw?

 

 I spend the days indoors with my housies in the West

 

And my mates from the house next door!

 

Always up for a drink or two!

 

As fun as it is in the West, I spend more of my time in South now

I'm glad to have made an awesome bunch of friends there. Love them much!

 

The route between West rez & South rez

 

Sunny days for the Summer, but it never gets anything close to 25 degrees celcius

 

Chilling by South 9's porch

 

At the uni lounge deck with some of my mates!

From L-R : Levan, Todd, Devin and Deanna

 

Without realizing it, the days of Summer are over and we are now in the midst of Autumn.

 

The leaves on the trees has turned yellow in preparation to fall

 

Bright yellow, vermilion orange and deep, scarlet reds beautifully scattered on the ground

 

Different trees shed their leaves at different times.

This tree, for example, was a tad late in joining the rest of his kind, but boasts a beautiful, burgundy hue.

 

Walking by this tree after classes, I can't help but to stop in my tracks

and admire Mother Nature's wonder

 

One morning, as the sunlight peeped through my window and in the near distance, I spotted a tree with bright red leaves.

Seeing that red is my favorite colour and the fact that I never once noticed this tree just outside my rez, I whipped out my camera and bolted through the door in my pyjamas.

 

Excuse the straight-out-of-bed face and hair!

I just had to take a picture with it immediately πŸ˜€

 

Here it is again. The rare, bright red ones standing out from the crowd.

Be inspired. I know I am. ;)

 

As of now, it is nearing towards the end of Autumn and we are expecting Winter to arrive soon.

The days are even colder than before and the nights bring frost to the grass and mist to our mouths.

 

Every night hits below 5 degrees celcius and I spend all my time right in front of the heater now.

The roaring warmth helps to keep me from freezing my arse off.

 

 

Branches are left bare and empty for Winter

 

No wonder it's so cold. You can actually feel the chill in the air. I soon found out that it was already snowing at Bendigo, some 4 hours away.

I can't wait for my snowboarding, skiing and tobogganing trip up Mount Baw Baw with my mates in late June when the blanket of snow are inches and inches thick!

 

Here's to hoping it will snow in Melbourne city or Gippsland too! πŸ˜€

Not that I intend to freeze or frostbite myself to death, but simply because I've never seen snow before in my entire life!

Back to School party! Bring out the nerd glasses, uniforms & join us for some nasty lessons tonight?

March 4, 2011 by thejessicat

 

It's time for some night classes yo!

Care to teach this keen student a thing or two she doesn't know? πŸ˜‰

 

Show her what you've got.

 

LOLOL Aight, enough shitting. Classes really did start already for me this week.

If you bother to know at all, I'm taking Media Audiences, Cultural & Communications Policy, E-Journalism and Writing Techniques this semester.

 

I had half the mind to skip class the next morning…..

 

After these "classes" last night *wink*

hubba hubba! πŸ˜€

 

But nnnnnno!

It's mind over matter. I didn't just come here to knock myself out and party every night.

I also came here to earn my Bachelor's degree. *beams proudly* πŸ˜‰


So I managed to drag myself outta bed thanks to this compelling yet annoying force of a conscience I have. Grrr.

 

Anyway, let me introduce yo some of my "class"mates for tonight's party!

Where fun is our major and alco shots are homework πŸ˜€

 

Verity and I after getting all dolled up πŸ˜€

 

I'm loving how Abraham looks tonight! πŸ˜€

Say hello to the preppy schoolboy!

 

We started having some fun on the kitchen counter ala girls gone wild πŸ˜›

It was fun! Since back2skool saw most of us dressing up as sexy students and teachers

 

can you handle us? πŸ˜›

Deana looked hawtttt in her costume!

 

double take!

 

And speaking of which,

I swear Absinthe should be made legal in Malaysia!

That green fairy hit me like a bullet train. Seeing stars? I love

 

Absinthe, the motherload of all drinks

SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

EVERYBODEEEHHHHH!! πŸ˜€

 

SKYY Vodka was in the house too

 

Kon looked sharp that night too.

Something reminded me of Harry Potter LOLOL  πŸ˜›

 

After our pre-drinks session, some of us were already smashed before even getting into the party!

Easyy mate, easy!!! πŸ˜€ The fun hasn't begun just yet wootwoot!

 

Nerds on the loose!

What's the equation? Do the math.

 

LOLOL Danny was so tipsy that he made everyone kiss him!

On chat yesterday, he didn't believe me when I told him he was doing that all night!

 

I wish someone would vouch for me muahahahaha

 

Thankfully, Bardha backed me up!

Yes Danny, you did kiss everyone last night hahahaha

 

With Jade and Todd resting on the couch!

 

My feet hurt real bad that night.

Might as well go barefoot and looking like a homeless person but feeling comfortable! Hmph.

Sometimes I wonder, why do girls even bother wearing high heels or boots when on the inside we're all hurting beneath that glamorous facade πŸ™

 

My point illustrated.

 

Anyway, I tried shrugging my pain aside in hopes to enjoy the party.

 

I am not walking on pins and needles I am not walking on pins and needles

I am not walking on pins and needles

I am not walking on pins and needles I am not walking on pins and needles

I am not walking on pins and needles I am not walking on pins and needles

I am not walking on pins and needles

 

That mantra struck me that very night. Hmmm… it has it powers πŸ˜›

 

Took off my 4-inch high heeled boots, danced and head-banged the night away with Kon

 

What could be better than having good and fun company?

I was feeling very moody for the 1st hour of the party (don't ask) but gradually, I was cheered up and ended up enjoyed myself so much! Woot woot!

 

Allyce, me and Kon

 

I don't even remember when this photo was even taken.

A friend sent it to me. I look so smashed & cross-eyed it's not even funny LOL

 

The party ended pretty late, just as it did with Monday night's beach party, but I didn't stay that late.

A few of us headed back to rez earlier for some snoooozes πŸ˜‰

 

Thank you for reading boys and girls, class is dismissed πŸ™‚

See you during recess! xoxo

Back from Uni Night Beach Party! Monash Gippsland campus is rockin’ it hard

March 1, 2011 by thejessicat

 

I had the time of my life again.

Just got back from the 1st big uni night of 2011 – Beach Party edition!

 

My babes and I on the high!

 

Having a summer good time!

 

It was just impressive how we party revelers possess the innate ability to dress so little in our beachwear given the temperature at the moment was 15 degrees celcius.

It was a rainy night too, walking all the way to the uni club from our rez.

 

 

Don't we all rock? πŸ˜› Awesome *dusts shoulders* yes, of course we do! πŸ˜› πŸ˜›

All and anything in the name of partying!

 

If I remember correctly, there were altogether 8 of us pre-drinking at the rez first

Bardha had some bourbon, so we downed some glasses and shots of American Honey

Tastes fab! πŸ™‚ was really smooth yet strong at the same time

 

 

It's ALWAYS better to drink first and rock up the party semi-smashed.

Only then, you'll actually have a better time!

 

Besides, who goes early to parties anyway? πŸ˜‰

 

The uni club was decorated in beach balls, beach umbrellas,

hawaii-themed everywhere, full-bloomed flowers and more!

 

I swear he could pass as the mascot of the night

 

 

I'm really, really smashed and wanna head to bed quickly but this energizer bunny is still feeling really in ecstasy of excitement and likened to a big ball of electricity now.

I can see the morning after is gonna be a tough one to haul myself outta bed.

 

We gonna rock this club, like it's dynamite!

 

Get on your sunnies, beach balls and summer love together!

Introducing you some more of my party mates and buddies πŸ˜€

 

Erin and I

Josh Swift and I

Matching hawaii floral girls Bardha and I

Thanks babe! xx

Josh, Josh and I

Mossy and I!

Bardha, Erin and I

Verity and I xx

 

Hardcore partying always end up in things getting destroyed, missing and if you're lucky, no paramedics.

But then again, what's a party without some danger field involved? πŸ˜›

 

Lotsa people passed out but this one went unconscious! *gasp*

 

My sunnies broke into half and I was so sad!

But Josh was awesome enough to give me his pair for keeps πŸ™‚

 

Yay! Now I have another pair of sunnies -not red though- but still! Enough to cheer me up

 

I won't lose it, I swear! πŸ˜€ Thankewwwww xx

 

 

and it goes onn and onnnn and onnnn~

I throw my hands up in the air some time~


 

 

Saying a-yo! baby let's go~!

I wanna celebrate and live my life~

Saying a-yo! baby let's go~!


The party didn't stop till almost 3 in the morning!

Now that's more like it. Totally quenches my needs for partying back in KL

 

A few DJs that were brought in to spin the decks for us

 

 

Move, move, shake, shake now drop drop drop DROP!!!

Damn right, I'm gonna lose my mind.


Okay so truth be told, I slept off halfway last night while writing this blogpost, so I continued in the morning. hehe. So good morning! πŸ˜€ As expected, it took a whole lot of effort to get me outta bed. Wooozy!

 

Another night ending on a high note

I could get used to this

 

Three cheers to the kick-ass MUGSU (Monash University Gippsland Student Union) team who worked hard to plan it and make this party a rocksome success! πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€

Looking forward to tomorrow night's Back2Skool party! I love theme parties

 

Bring on the nerds, canes and chalkboards πŸ˜›

A day out in the sun flying kites by the lakeside at Taylors University! Thanks to Churp Churp

October 19, 2010 by thejessicat

 

Okay okay!
 

I reckon I have blogged enough about my maniacal never-ending nightlife for the time being already LOL πŸ˜›

So here's something a little different for the day. Something fresh, "healthy" and sunny – completely not dripping with booze of any sort!
 

 

I went kite-flying in the humid – yet windy – afternoon sun!
 

 


 

By the lake with ze huuuge kite! Pretty & colorful. Loves!
 

 

Having returned from another night of mayhem at Zouk the night before, I was surprised I didn't wake up with an after-party hangover.
 

Thankfully I managed to get outta bed, freshen up & got out the door in record time! Didn't wanna be late for Nuffnang's Glitterati+ meeting in the morning and subsequently, this Churp Churp 'Fly Kite' outing.
 

 


 

I see my Twitter profile pic on the Churp Churp bunting! πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ Do you?
 

If you don't have me on Twitter yet, it's @imthejessicat hehe
 

 

 

So yes, the Glitterati+ meeting was good. The word is finally out and open to the rest of the Nuffnangers. I've been one of the pioneer members of Glitterati+ for quite some time now and it has been a fun ride indeed. Hence, I do urge all active Nuffnang bloggers to join as well! πŸ™‚
 

Right after the open meeting, we had a short campus tour around Taylors University Lakeside Campus. No wonder they're so proud of their Uni! It's omfg-outrageously-fabulously-impressive.
 

 

 

Makes you go, whaaaadd have I been missing in my tertiary education years?
 

Why was I born so early? This campus is magnificent! *jawdrops*
 

 

Here we are by the lakeside at Taylors Uni. See those buildings on the left? One of it is their library.
 

 

And on the opposite side, there's the "commercial" area of the campus. Here I am standing by the walkway. Can you believe that beside me lies a Starbucks, Subway, Old Town, Wong Kok Kitchen & Face2Face Noodle house, among the many others?

Looks like im standing on a pier right? πŸ˜€ With the whites, the balcony & the water in the background 

Waiting for my ship to arrive LOL!!
 

 

 

Lady luck was on our side today as the weather was just perfect for a kite flying activity!

I was a little paranoid though, fearing that it would rain or end up being all dark and stormy ;(
 

 

BUT I WAS WRONG! Look at how merciful the weather man was to us?
 

 


 

Pretty kites Green Octopus, Smiley Bat and Rainbow soaring up, up and above! πŸ˜€
 

 

 

And what's that dangerous creature below I see still alive in Year 2010???
 

Dood, you're like supposed to be waaaaaaayy extinct with the other bros and hoes of your kind πŸ˜› πŸ˜›
 

 


 

Wrong era, dragon! This is 2010!
 

Not 800 b.c or some ancient milestone where you giant lizards belong
 

 

 

It was plain to see that almost everyone was having fun playing outdoors – instead of  ramming their fingers on the keyboard – for once!

Kite flying. Such a classic! Prior to this, the last time I ever held a kite was with my late grandpa when I was 6?
 

 

I would scan my 6 year old self flying a kite for you if I could but I don't have it with me as we speak πŸ™ bummer.
 

 


 (pic credits to Mohd. Zaid)

But here's the me flying a kite 15 years later! All grown up πŸ˜€
 

 

 

 

Hey! Kite flying is not easy okay!! You think DOTA only need strategy ah!? πŸ˜›
 

Skills are needed to recognize the direction of the wind, how much force used to pull the nylon string and so much other kite-technicalities I don't wanna even go there LOL.
 

I took forever to beam with pride upon seeing my rainbow kite soaring higher than the buildings! πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€
 

 

hahahah yes Tim, I know it was hard to get it up & to make it stay up πŸ˜› πŸ˜› ahem.

For girls hard also! *giggles* XD

 

 

 

I do admit though, I had problems with my kite! ;( I can haz emo kite. It kept tangling up all over my hair, my wrist, my body & even my shoes! Maybe my kite was the black sheep of the kite family, who prefers to be dragged on the ground instead of flying high in the sky.
 

 

WEIRD KITE.

sucks to be you kthxbai.
 

 

 

But nothing stopped my attempts! In fact, I ran like sorhai (madp*ssy) all over the place while yanking the nylon string of the kite trying my utmost best to let it stay up in the air!


LOL Simon was also running like sorhai trying to get his Smiley Bat kite flying in the air

 

While I was struggling after numerous attempts (my kite never stayed up above for more than 30 seconds!) I decided to pop into Starbucks for an ice-cold Java Chip. Perfect for a sunny day! Was drenched in sweat you would never believe me! πŸ™
 

 


 

"Ima happy kite!  Smiley kite! Nothing can ruin my d…a..yy.. uh oh. wait.

I'M CRASHINGGG INTO TAYLOR'S LIBRARY! I shall put Osama bin Laden & his Al-Qaeda clan to shame!"


 

Haha. What can I say? I had an amazing Saturday afternoon despite only having 3 hours of sleep.

As expected, I headed home to zonk out for a couple of hours before heading out and about again πŸ˜€

THANK YOU CHURP CHURP FOR SPONSORING US SUCH A FUN-FILLED DAY!

Much love
