ERMAHGERD

City to Bay results you say? 1hr 13mins! Totally surpassed my expectations, I guess I'm not as turtle as I think I am. Haha.. Definitely a great experience and you'll be seeing this face again next year, people *points at face* LOL. Next years goal? Maybe try to get below 1hr5mins. But who knows, maybe by next year I'd have let myself go and gotten uber cushion for the pushin'. Who knows! Haha.. 

Too bad it rained 6km into the run, so for the last 6km I was freezing cold and constantly having to wipe rain from my face. But it wouldn't have been as eventful if it didn't rain! All adding to the excitement of the run haha.. Never seen SO many people in one place before.. 39,000 people. 39, 000! Holycrappers man. Could have literally been trampled to death, if not for the staggered starting lines..

Anywhoop, onto more exciting news, finally got hold of my b'day nike free runs!! YAY. I got the first pair maybe a month ago, but oh the sadness *sadface* they were too small.. And so now, after  two size exchanges and 4weeks later, I get my size 8.5 sexy mint green nikes :D YAY. hehe. Thanks to all who contributed, for reals for reals for reals. I'll take care of them like they were my own baby. ♥ Feel the love?

Have yet to run in them, since I've been sick the whole week. Oh, the other downfall of the City to Bay, after all the rain running, then tramming it back to the city in soaked out clothes, ofcourse I'd be sick! Fevers are the worst. Feeling cold then hot then cold then hot etcetc, MAKE UP YOUR MIND, BODY! But atleast I'm okay now :) still on the sickly-looking side, but atleast I'm on the recovering end. JUST IN TIME FOR UNIGAMES TOMORROW! 

Uni's from all over the country are coming into little ol' Adelaide for the legendary Unigames.

Come to Lockleys and watch if you have time, people! Support Adelaide Uni ;) 

A whole week of badminton during the day, and themed partying everynight, who could ask for more?

*Fingers crossed for good looking badminton guys* Bahaha. Oh, If only.. if only. It is a widely known fact that it is tres difficult to find guys that are both epic at badminton, and good looking. Please please please, Aus Unigames, prove me wrong!

Before I leave- Ermahgerd! HAHA. Yea.. Kind of been overusing the word abit hey? But damn, its addictive. I can't help myself. I just can't!

Enjoy your week, keep those chins up and smile all sexily for me.

And the bass keeps running, running

Sup fatties!
City to Bay tomorrow at 8am. WHY so early, 8AM? I don't even think I will be properly awake yet! Just hoping I don't have to pee during. Yea thats what I worry about. HAHA.
A couple friends that I know are running are aiming to finish in 1hr15mins. I'm just aiming to finish. Haha. My aim is to not stop running. Getting there with a good time will just be a mega bonus! Now I'm thinking maybe I should have run the whole 12kms atleast one time through before the event.. Last week did 10k with Mish and SY and made it in an hour, so I'm determined to do just as well tomorrow morning. Thats if I don't fall asleep half way..
Thank Buddha my parents are back to wake me up! Otherwise there is no TELLING what time I'd be up. Probably end up missing out on it, wasting $35 and feeling all sadface.
So many things I rely on my parents for.. I'm thinking maybe the coming new years resolution should include something about being more independent. After all, don't we all strive to be strong, independent young women? Yea you do ;) Don't need no guy in your life, don't need no one's help ever blah blah blah. You go, girlfriend!

Always ever grateful for holidays, even though there is a crap-tonne of work to do. Nyeah.. I'll do it slowly. One day. Got my socks, shirt and shorts folded across my chair, my entrants number lying on the table and my mp3 is on full battery. Night kids, have a sexy dream. But not toooo sexy ;)

Turn up the love.

Just popped an ulcer on the side of my cheek, oh hot dayum it kinda stung.
Getting back on track. I haven't blogged in aaages. It's taken me about the whole of August to finally sit my big ass down and write about the rest of my birthday celebrations. You thought the last two were enough? You were WRONG, sir. Wrong. I think its because I feel like I've literally spent the most part of August celebrating my 19th, and thats why I've left this blogpost til the end. Best birthday ever, for reals.
Spent time with all the people I love the most.. My family, bestfriend, uni friends, baddy friends, boy of interest maybe!? HAHA kidding. I think its events like these that remind me to cherish my family and friends, and really appreciate them.. just being there for me. I don't want to brag, but I really do have thee most legendary humans in my life. LOL. Being with people that I can share the good times with. I suppose I didn't realize how lucky I am, to have so many awesome people in my life, in my circle of friends. Smiley faces for EVERYONE.

From my Dad's epic birthday feast, to brunch with Rosemay, to dinner and dessert with my dental girls, to that crazy joint drink up after badminton, to that evening walk along the beach lighting sparklers, to poker with the cool kids LOL. This birthday, although unexpected, has got to be the one to remember.

So much drama, so much food, so many memories and so MANY presents!
Juust a quick warning, you're about to be bombarded with a ridonkulous number of photos with me and my slightly awkward face in them. OH YOU LOVE IT. trololol.

MAN. Almost cried when they told me they bought me Nike free runs. Been wanting them for the LONGEST time. Couldn't bring myself to spend the money on them though.. I think they retail for around $160 out here. But HO MY GOSH look how pretty they are.. Mint green *sigh* ♥ EVEN BETTER in real life. The colour is so eye catching, so unique. Some people don't understand all the hype about nike free runs, and yea I agree. But nike free runs IN THIS COLOUR? Nope, I can't not be hyped about them. I just can't! My first running shoes that arn't old badminton ones. Use them well? I shall. Can't wait to hit the gym with them! No. I can't wait to run City to Bay with them! Haha.. Only just brought myself to register for the 12km run on the 16th Sept. It is going to be l-o-n-g. Never participated in any sort of running event so this'll be a first. So many firsts this year, who woulda thought?
Sometimes you just have to tell yourself, if you don't do it now, when will you ever do it? Just like my laundry. I finally did it today. HAHA.

It's just past 4am so I want to schleep. As you can tell, I'm one of those. Ermahgerd. LOL
So once again, a big WOOPWOOP! to everyone who made August that much more special for me. ♥ can you FEEL the love!? CAN YOU FEEL IT!? Ye. I thought so.

Rainbows and unicorns.

I'm sitting here all metal'd up, thinking about downing some panadol and going to bed..I guess I should tell you about my day :)

Today was fun, filled with surprises (both the good and the bad) and a day that won't be easily forgotten. Why? Cause I got the dreaded braces on, thats why. But not only that.
Today I got flowers from my dent girlfriends Viv and Shannon. I got home-made macarons from one very sweet guy friend. My group all chipped in a couple bucks and bought me a Nike sports bra LOL and then the whole cohort sang Happy birthday in the break between the 11 and 12pm lecture. Gah, I felt so spoilt, for real. Such great friends. +texts that made me smile ♥

They also took me to Cocolat, and fed me before my 2pm ortho appointment. Double chocolate muffin!? Double the fun.
To be honest the process of getting braces put on didn't hurt at all. But now.. hurts like a beeetch.
Eating has never BEEN so hard. I spent an hour an home after uni trying to figure out the hardest food I could eat that wouldn't hurt. DEFINITELY NOT NUTS. LOL nuts. *shakes head* what was I thinking.
I'm hungry but I just cant be bothered eating. Its too uncomfortable and if I bite down in the wrong place my gums start aching. Not to mention the amount of crap that gets stuck between the wires! Gosh dayum, these are annoying. WHO KNEW FLOSSING COULD BE SO GOD DAMN HARD!? What was that? 'Jun, you're a dental student, you should know better?' Oh hells, no. Flossing is off the table.
Haha.. 2 more years to go, people! And now for a picture of the brace face.

Yup, I know. You can't really see anything. And thats the way I intended the photo to come out LOL not a very informative photo. I got ceramic brackets on the top and metal everywhere else. Wonder if they'll let me put coloured bands on the metal ones? If so, mint green, baby!

I came home and after about 5 seconds of looking in the mirror, burst into tears and asked my brother to hug me and tell me that I didn't look that bad. HAHA Such a drama queen. But no, I truly thought that I looked like a monster. Had to fight back the lump in my throat when I looked into the mirror while sitting in the dental chair! Now that I've had them on for abit, I'm alright with the whole metal face thing. and hey, you never know. They might score me a nice nerdy booooy? ;) HAHA kidding. Ofcourse kidding.

Sigh. emotional day. LOL. even at night after lab, a friend that I kinda sorta knew but had only just got to know rocked up at my house and gave me chocolates and a card. KIND OR NOT!? I was overwhelmed with the nice-ness. Don't think I'd ever do that for someone whose not a close friend.

Okay. Should probably stop talking so much

AND TO END THE NIGHT, I shall say, GOOD DAY- BLOGOSPHERE. May you have a happy day tomorrow!

Pre-birthday bash

I'd love to be one of those annoying girls who talk all about their 19th birthdays, but I don't have time this morning. Woke up to my 19th in a rush to go to the dreaded UNI for a whole DAY of lectures and lab sessions.. plus the ortho appointment. I can TELL its going to be a wonderful day ._.
So I'll post some pictures up while I can of the birthday dinner my family held for me last night so that I wouldn't have trouble eating it after I get my braces lol.

Woke up today kind of dreading the whole birthday thing, I've lowered my expectations of this day by oh, so much. But I've gotta say, the moment I opened up my facebook page and started reading through some of the birthday messages, I just felt so much better :) Thanks guys for the heartfelt messages some of you wrote me ♥ It really does make a difference!
Atleast that'll be one thing to look forward to when I come home from lab tonight!

 One last cheesy smile with my uniquely awesome freakzoid teeth..

 Keep chillin' like a villin guys, I'll update later.. maybe post a pic of the train tracks.

Brace face

Tis almost August. Time is going by so uber fast these days!
Guess what people.. I'm going to be a brace face. Yes. I'll be the train tracks, the rail roads, the metal mouth.. Actually, I'll be the metal FACE if I wear my glasses as well. LOL could I BE looking any nerdier?
And just to kick a girl when shes down, why not make the only appointment available on her birthday? Ah yes, I'll be getting braces put in on my birthday in my lunch break before going back to uni where I'll be in lab til 8:30. Then to waddle back home and hopefully not have a mouth too painful to eat some birthday cake.
Happy Birthday to meeeee. *double thumbs up*
I was planning to ask my parents if they'd buy me a pair of nike free run 3+ for my 19th.. but the braces are going to cost a whopping $6000+. Thats the most expensive birthday present ever! On a side note, I'm thinking of specializing in ortho. HAHA. Oh, the money that I'd be making. I kid. We'll see. Not so keen on the extra years of uni involved.
I hope I don't look tooo ridonkulous with braces on. But hey, even if I do look like a poop on a stick, at least I'll be somewhat decent looking in 18-24 months. Ye yee! Positive thinking always eff tee dubs.

First week back at uni, got new tutors- why is it that my group always gets the bullshit ones? But it doesn't matter. We'll make it work, just like we always do, ehy? Going to be dissecting people next week to learn head and neck anatomy :D FUN. Went to watch batman today (which was LEGENDARY, by the way. No joke, please go and see it right now ASAP). Oh, passed both my exams BY THE WAY if you were interested. Well I was interested. Bahaha from what I've been hearing, quite alot of my year failed/borderlined last sem's exams. So all in all, I am for now, a happy chap.

And yes. This has been my life in a nutshell.
Last dent pubcrawl of the year next week. TO GO OR NOT TO GO!?

The Relationship Ghost

I guess now would be a better time than ever to write a blog post about the relationship ghost. I'm feeling particularly thoughtful right now.
The relationship ghost. What is it? Those lingering thoughts that run through your mind as you drive past your ex's neighborhood. The what ifs, everytime you see that persons name pop up on msn/facebook/twitter. The flutter in your stomach when you so much as glance at him/her.
Frankly, I'd like to take a knife and stab your relationship ghost for you, right here right now.
Most people have been through this before. Loved and lost. Therefore everyone who has done so would have a relationship ghost, like extra baggage, weighing them down in the next relationship.
Some more so than others, and some so MUCH that the memories they still hold in past relationships come to rape the next relationship up the ass.
So how much does YOUR relationship ghost affect you? WHY? Is it because you still genuinely have feelings for that person who left you brokenhearted? Or did you make a mistake letting them go?
Do we ever really forget the relationship ghost and give up all the memories tangled up in the messy crap that we call a break up?
Ofcourse, its hard to really ever forget your ex, especially with facebook updating you on every part of their life. Oh, it doesn't make it easier if your ex is one of those "look, I just uploaded photo of the lunch I ate today" kind of people. Technology, what have you done to us? haha.
But in all seriousness. Being held back to that extent by the ghost of past relationships really does not help your situation AT ALL. Sure, remember how you guys used to be, the time you spent together. Reminisce all the happy days you had with them. But after you do that, learn to MOVE ON.
There is only so much sulking you can do, only so much you can hold on to.
Why let the relationship ghost cause problems for your future relationships?
This person you have right now, the one sticking with you through all your bullshit.. Why screw that up.


Ok, well THAT was a post that I hadn't planned to rant on about.. guess it just happened. Guess I'm being way too 'thoughtful' right now. To be honest I just came back from having a couple drinks with friends. THAT might be the problem here. oh yes. ANYWHO I'm all pooped out. nighty night, youngin's. and REMEMBER.
The relationship ghost is a bitch.
