I can't think of a better place to be than home.. but why do I have this odd longing to be back in vietnam? Do I really want to go back? Or is it just me not wanting to go back to the reality of doing the same old thing every day again.. I think it's abit of both.
I made some new friends, and met some old ones. And even though I only met them a few times, I feel like I'll miss the feeling of grasping for the right vietnamese words, making lots of hand gestures to get my point across, and giving them lots of blank looks when I don't understand something they've said lol. I really wish there was some way of improving my viet so I don't look so much like a blubbering idiot. Well, at least I've got a goal for next time and some good memories to look back on =)
I just got back to melbourne this morning to some really shitty weather, and a room that didn't look familiar to me anymore. It felt strange walking back into my room.. it somehow looked different but I couldn't put my finger on it. I mean, I've only been gone a month, what could have changed?
And OH yes back to the bit about being tagged. I've been tagged by Marlene so here I go:
The Rules:
1. Link the person who tagged you.
2. Mention the rules on your blog.
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them.
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger's blogs letting them know they've been tagged.
1) I can be an organisational freak or a complete slob.
Most of the time (actually it's probably all the time) my room looks like a bomb hit it 3 months ago and no one's bothered clearing the mess. I had 20x20cm of clear desk space to work with all semester long until exams came and I somehow managed to stash my mess elsewhere. Half of my bed is to sleep on, the other half is to throw all the other stuff which doesn't fit anywhere else onto. Books, folders, clothes, bags, you name it, it's on my bed. That being said, I can be a complete organisational freak when I want to be (or when I can't help it). I label things, I go to Officeworks to get things binded, my novels are organised by genre and then alphabetical order by author, and when I'm organising/planning something - like my upcoming trip to Japan - I really get into it (refer to the discussion board I put up for planning our trip with seperate threads for accommodation in the corresponding city, seperate threads for things to do in each city, etc). Oh, and my wardrobe is organised by type of clothing (jeans, singlets, tshirts, jumpers, dresses) and then subdivided by colour. Not completely sure if that was because I couldn't help organising it, or if it was just simply the fact that I was fed up with my wardrobe being crammed full and not being able to find anything. Sometimes I think it's really determined by the flip of a coin. Heads, I'm a slob. Tails, I'm a complete organisational nut. I have no idea how else to determine which way I'll head.
2) I always carry a bottle of water and a packet of tissues with me.
No matter where I go I always have these in my school bag/handbag/whateverbag. I mean, you never know when you might need that sip of water. You could be walking down a street and suddenly get really thirsty, and there'll be no shop in sight. We're in a drought you know - you could die without that bottle of water right by your side. That, and I think my pink/purple Starbucks bottle is real pretty. You also never know when you'll get a snotty nose. Don't want to get caught out, do we? Oh, I've also been known to carry wet wipes around too. And hayfever tablets, stomachache medicine, panadol, etc too. Yeh I'm a real 'just incase' type of person haha.
3) I've watched Titanic the movie 38+ times.
Yeh, I lost track somewhere after 38. It was this weird obsession I had back in grade 5. I just kept watching it over and over again (and keeping count) until I could practically recite the whole damn thing - and I did a few times. Mind you, this was back in the VHS days so I had to keep rewinding the freaking tape. I lost it somewhere now, but that's okay because now I have the DVD. Oh, and I used to sleep with it next to my pillow. Obsessed much? Somehow, I think that now that I've put that up here for everyone to see, I'll never hear the end of it lol.
4) I save my used Metcards.
I have no idea why I do this, or what I'll do with them, but I can't throw them away. Perhaps I'll have enough some day to cover my entire wall.
5) I eat my hot dogs/sandwiches/breadrolls/pizza slices from the outside inwards.
Not entirely sure why, but I can't eat the above from one side to the other. If it's a hot dog or bread roll of some sort, I'll start at one end, then move to the other end, and then switch back and forth until I finish in the middle. If it's a sandwich or pizza slice, I'll eat in a circle until I reach the middle as well. I can't help it, it's just what I do, and mum tells me off for it all the time. I think it may be because I like to leave the best bits for last, and the outsides/ends are usually the worst bits (crust, bits of bread with no sausage/filling).
6) I like to dip my Maccas french fries into my soft serve cone.
Contrary to what some of my friends believe, I think alot of people do this one! I'm positive that I've seen people do it before, yet some people still think its weird when I do it. Tastes yummy though, and I've done it since forever.
Hmm so this has kinda made me realise that a) I'm weird, and b) I have no one else to tag since Marlene's the only person I know who blogs here.. actually I suppose I could tag anyone right? Like, even on xanga? Well, too bad if I can't because that's what I'm gonna have to do lols.
SO I tag the only other people that I know who blog: princesstrang, and j3n_ee.
And now, I think it's time for me to sleep because I am absolutely exhausted.
