i had swimming class today, it ain't good. we were doing breaststroke. the hardest stroke of all. i drowned!! luckily one of the girls spotted me!! fiuh~ seriously, i was useless. everything that the coach told me slipped out of my head.

after lunch i had tennis. yuph! i was the dummiest in this class as well... i didn't know how to serve.

after that class. my mind screamed I CAN'T STAND THIS!! I MUST BETTER MYSELF.. so~~~ as i reached home, i practice my serve. for one and a half hour... THAT IS HOW SERIOUS I AM TO IMPROVE MYSELF. and yeah~ alhamdulillah... i can serve now...

swimming?.. i'll train on Friday.

so, yeah... impossible is nothing INDEED

i think it was my 3rd week here that my fluorescent lamp went off. Lauren immediately popped into my room and fixed it.

works like a charm

my room is cleaned every Wednesday, so i wrote on the mirror that my mirrors were not sliding smoothly as it suppose to be. then Lauren again dropped in and fixed it in no time...

another reason why i love staying in St Catherine's College, GREAT SERVICE

OWH MY GOSH! it is already a week that i haven't update my blog! i guess i was so busy without realising it.. ok ok.. urm.. i still have heaps of work to do now, so i am just going to mentioned the hightlight of today and tell the rest of last week some other time... PROMISE

today I FINALLY DROPPED my math 1040.. i couldn't stand the class... seriously, it is just a waste of my time... the syllabus is just a repetition of Additional Math.. and when i talked to the Student Adviser, this unit doesn't give me much choice in my second year... so~ why bother.

so~ i swapped to human movement 1103 which is the 'personal health and fitness'.. yeppie!! guess what?.. most of the time for this unit i will be jogging around and gyming... ISN'T THAT GREAT????...

ok ok.. i take three units of human movement (1101, 1103 and 2250). let me tell you what i am doing in combination of these units in a week

mondays: running
tuesdays: extra swim class
wednesdays: tennis and swimming lessons
thursdays: weight lifting class
friday: extra swim class

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh my dream timetable
just lovely

i am a little bit grumpy today. i had not enough sleep last night. i attended my math 1040 lecture. i went to human bio 1101 lecture as well but i slept during the class.

i was soooooo grumpy that i need to do some MORE shopping. sooooo i went to Harbour Town.. YES where else should i go! of course i went to the ADIDAS FACTORY OUTLET... there were some more Stella McCartney's design coming in... (sexy/sporty) bags, beautiful beaaautiful tennis tops... aaaaaaaahhhhh... but!, i bought the old shirts, fiuh~ i'm not in the mood to take picture of them... maybe when i wear 'em then i'll take one...

later today, i attended extra swimming lesson (for the dummies) THAT IS ME!! hahahaha... Chris, my other coach, she is a FANTASTIC coach... she just immediately knew what was wrong with my movements... who would've thought that all this time, my timing for breathing in and out was wrong..i was struggling with my Freestyle but after that lesson, i was ready for more. alhamdulillah. i swam more than an hour! usually i swim (intensively) for 15 minutes... such an improvement, Don't you think????...

oh yea~ on saturday night (when my swollen eye gets worse and worse) i couldn't study because the pain just went into my brain (more like a migrane) so, i decided to join Fiona (organizer of the show) in the theatre room, along with Linette, Vicky and a couple of other residents. we watched Moulin Rouge. OH MY GOSH i never knew that this movie is sooooooooo romantic! i never got the chance to watch the whole movie when i was in Brunei, but laaaaastnight............. MOULIN ROUGE IS THE MOST ROMANTIC (with comedy) I EVER WATCHED. PERIOD. you guys~ i cried!! and most of the time i thought of my boyfriend... huhu... that movie just made my night

Dariah; 4:46 PM

wow.. my weekend?.. hm... ok.. i had an early weekend

it started on friday

last friday, i went to Harbour Town with Nadia, Evelyn, Linette and Vicky... we went to the city by bus and took a train to go to Harbour Town... we arrived there around 7.30pm..

Vicky went estatic as she saw short dresses in one of the shops... she bought one there and as we browsed through other shops she got excited to see beautiful shoes that obviously calling her name. and yes, she bought one too.. Vicky is a quick shopper i must say. THEN~~ we went to ADIDAS FACTORY OUTLET wohoooooooooooooooooooooo.... what happened?.. it was my turn to go crazy... i tried out lots of tops and pants... it was so much fun shopping with Vicky and Linette, they were so efficient!... they know what looks good on my and what is not... and they pick up the colours that best suits me! hahaha.. thanks girls! you girls ROCK MY WORLD

after so many turning and twirling.. i bought these~

long violet pants, brownish purple skirt, purple shirt and white long sleeve shirt

hmmmm.. you guys might say.... "WHY DID SHE BUY THE SKIRT!! WHEN WILL EVER SHE WEAR IT?..".. teehee... well.. i'm longing to wear skirt with pants underneath... then, i saw this unresistable skirt designed by Stella McCartney who did a FANTASTIC job... the skirt is just a MUST HAVE item for me... she is currently designing Adidas clothings, shoes and other accessories.... i totally love her designs... I ADORE YOU STELLA!!!

ok ok.. cool down daria cool down. hahahah.. i felt guilty that Linette didn't buy anything from the shops we went.. it was 8.50pm ( the shop closed at 9) so we dashed to the one of the shop that was still open... fiuh~ she managed to get blouse there and she loved it.

so that was basically the hightlight of Friday.

sunday on the other hand, we (Nadia, Linette, Vicky and i) went to Subiaco Market. it was Nadia's plan.. she wanted to buy fruits that are not available in St Cats.. i planned not to buy anything because i am satisfied with all i have in St Cats.. but all of that perception changes as i sampled one of the sweetest plum i ever tasted. yuph~ i bought a kilo of 'em. as Nadia and i about to leave the market, i realised that we lost track on Linette and Vicky. so we went back in. they stopped at the Honey Booth. Nadia and i decided to join in... the staff insisted to taste some of his honey products... i have to say, they taste so goooood.. especially Tagasaste... he has lots of flavour which i can't recall right now. after few more testing, i bought Tagasaste.

the staff said that this amount will last me for 6 weeks. he recommends to consume honey twice a day.. the honey contains all of the nutrients and good for detoxing our system... so, that is mostly the reason why i bought it.. hehehe..

lastly, Sunday

i didn't do much... i woke up at 11am, had lunch then slept.. woke up at 4pm and had dinner at 6.. i studied for 3 hours.. chatted with my buddies and just before i went off to bed again, i chatted with my boyfriend :) heeeeeee.... owh yea~ my eyes were swollen starting friday, and it gradually got worse over the weekend (i've got migrane too).. Linette gave me lots of medicine.. and today, i am totally fine.. alhamdulillah

i recived a replied email from 'Tennis Only' store... they have the tennis i want (small grip handle)

it took me 15minutes ride by bike. it is located on Stirling Hwy. i love the store~ Why?.. the shop is filled with ADIDAS... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH... MY CANDY SHOP.... but those ain't cheap because all of 'em are original...

i love love love my tennis.. it is PINK.. HAHAHAH... the staff there gave me two tennis balls for free~ teehee.... and he didn't include any charge on setting up the strings. the tennis is brand new, so initially there was no string attached... and he picked the high quality string... so happy...

my racquet costs alot... so i'm going to use it alot... alooooooooooot.. hehehee... but no regrets... i super love it.. it is light... comfortable, powerful.. YUP.. this is my new baby...

Dariah; 8:20 PM

in the morning i had lectures (human biology 1101 and human movement 1101) it was ok... abit sleepy in both lectures. i i-lecture my math 1040 again today. i love math but the lecturer makes the lesson sounds so science-like. it is like, you know when the science lecturer trying to make sense out of chemical reaction? that was exactly what she did. and she mumbled most of the time. she sounded like talking to herself. that is why i preferred to i-lecture it online.

ok lets move on... i had an hour break, then i had human movement 2250. i super super love this class! why?.. today, our lecturer talked about kinematics; all those vectors and scalars, and some other math topics (trigonometry) I GOT SOOOOOOOOO EXCITED. aaaaaaahhhhhh.. so glad i enrolled for this unit.

after lunch, Veron dropped by to collect her stuff that i borrowed few days ago. i slept immediately after she went out of my place. i was so tired from the tennis class yesterday and to make it worse, i am having period.. which means, i am having period pain. as i get younger (not older) hehehe, i realised that the period pain just gets more and more painful. huhu.. it really does... maybe that is why adult having "pms" hmmmm... me?.. i don't know.. lets see... teehee..

i ranged my boyfriend just now.. i am relieved to hear that he is ok now. alhamdulillah, i prayed for him everytime... we've been together for a long time now... but whenever i want to phone him, my heart beats so fast.. and when we ended our conversation, my hands get cold... it has been like that from the first time i phoned him. aaaawwwww... hehehe
