It's Week 6 here @ Monash University, Australia. I have just "gained" an hour due to Daylight Savings, that means NOW.. u n me, we are 2 hrs apart!! (Unless u are reading this in Melbourne!) Yipppee.. Doesnt really makes much of a difference, really.. Other than feeling that time passes by like pheww... speed of lightning perhaps?! Currently, to date, i have 3 assignments due next wk, between Tues to Thurs, and 1 test Assessment on Monday. So tat's like 1 per day.. This would also include one of my closest friend, coming down to have her holiday on the busiest week of uni life... Doubt i can bring u around my friend, but then i shall try to make it up to u on Friday, k?!

Anyways, the past week has been pretty hectic. I have been more than overwhelmed with the amount of work pushed at me by my lecturers. But more importantly, i have had a conversation with one of my fellow colleagues which have left me disturbed for currently, days... You see.. we were casually updating each other about what is going on and around our flats. Apparently, the conversation got in abit more deeper with each of us sharing our current updates of uni life. Somehow, in between those lines.. she said something like.. "You'll prob trying to be an Aussie too." This was actually the specific line that got me shocked n traumatised right there n then. There she was, an Aussie, a colleague, someone who i wld regard as a friend.. But there she goes saying im trying to be an Aussie.. WHY?! Why i ask her?! And she says that it is how i talk and how im leading my current life.. im like.. WHAT THE FUCK?! I told her.. "LOOK!! I was born n raised to speak English.. Ive been learning English even before i went to Kindergaten".. (Note: She has an Indian bf who apparently learn English in primary sch!) So yeah... I was kinda pissed.. Kinda still am though.. I mean.. Do i really potray myself as trying to be an Aussie?! Cmon!! We, Singaporeans, speak better English than them and that is what she was prob afraid of.. She prob thought, like all like-minded ignorant Aussies (sorry Aaron!), THAT Singapore is a low-life country who cant speak a word of English.. or the FACT that she thinks that we arent, in her eyes & mind, "western-ised".. i mean.. HELLLLOOOOoooo!!~ I think both Singapore & Malaysia have been exposed to more than enough Western culture than we ought to.. Well, more for Singapore that is..

SO yeah.. Just when i thought i Aussies are slowly not being as ignorant & arrogant.. God has been kind enough to hit me back with another one.. Remind me once again.. Why i never bashed this girl up?! oooOOOoooo yeah.. She's my colleague.. One thing's for sure is that I will NEVER see her the same or give her the respect that she prob doesnt deserve, EVER again!!..
