Blabbermouth
SAYO! ;)
So today, early in the morning at 6.30am, I woke up, took a shower and swept off to Uni to do my habitual bit of reading for Legal Theory. I'm falling into this routine where getting up super-early is becoming to feel normal. O_o At least now I know I'm devoting sufficient time to getting my Pass grade for Legal Theory. XD Of all places where I thought I could evade Philosophy, here I am being corralled into doing it. GAH.
Ok I should stop ranting about my studies now.
My aunt told me this morning that she wouldn't be cooking, so I found a good reason to eat out today for dinner (even though I missed, like, 3/4 of Ghost Whisperer). Usually Thursdays are the worst of days, since the last day of uni is when you want it to end the most. But today was really fun. I mean, the last part of the day.
I finally escaped the library at about half past 12 to go catch some lunch. Sat down at my fave corner in QV with my two sushi rolls, and couldn't help but keep glancing at this plump woman sitting opposite me munching on KFC. In fact, I felt kind of put off. So this world is filled with skinny people who like sushi, fat people who like fast food and fat poeple who don't like sushi but eat it cuz they're on a diet. O_o How come I don't see skinny people liking fast food? LAWL. That's easy to answer, I guess. Like, when you're not used to fast food, it feels as though your body rebels every time you eat fast food. Every time I eat fast food, my stomach feels all weird and makes gurgling noises. The last time I ate any sort of fast food was KFC, and I got a bad headache after THAT. >.> Almost immediately after finishing the meal. WTH?!?! Must be because I haven't eaten fast food in a LONG LONG time.
Which is to say, a good thing. I still remember my Trinity days, when I ate KFC once a week and I was ok. Goes to show how toxic fast food is once your body has really purged it.
At that moment, just then, I felt like telling the woman to just leave the fast food and her huge cup of Coke. I felt like telling her, you'll feel so much better about yourself, and your body will feel so much better, if you just stopped and tried to find something less unhealthy to eat. Heck, instant noodles feel better than fast food. And they cost like, 45c a packet (although I eat 2 at a time).
In the end I just kept my meddling mouth shut. Hey, individual natural rights. People have the right to decide what's best for themselves. Who am I to give advice as some random person? I feel I have no authority, and I don't have thick enough skin to approach people like that, on my own. She might sit on me and squish me. X(
For all my talk, I still went to get a cup of chocolate mousse from Breadtalk after I finished my sushi. XD
Obligations was fairly ok today. I'm enjoying it actually, one of the best law subjects I've had so far. Anyway, one of the students brought her baby to class. He/she (babies are so unisex, they look the same from afar) was SO SO CUTE! Like, he/she made gurgling funny noises during class and the lecturer was obviously charmed by the little kid. Haha, our lecturer is such a nice guy! :) I hope more of my Law lecturers are like him in future.
Then of course the baby started getting fussy and irritated. I mean, how can you expect a baby to pay attention to an Obligations class? Hell, even I fidget during class. Can't imagine what the baby must be going through: "What the hell is that guy talking about? How come all I see are words and no nice pictures?! I don't understand why mommy must stay for this boring shit! I WANT OUT!!!". (Ok, maybe something less vulgar, haha) She kinda had to leave halfway because the baby had had enough. ;P Too bad.
During Chinese Politics and Society after that, I managed to PAY ATTENTION! As opposed to my usual habit of doodling ALL OVER my lecture notepad with bad pictures of disproportionate people... LOL.
Because I'm not working anymore, I decided to go healthy and walked to Bourke Street from Uni. Quite an exhilarating experience, when you're all snuggled up in a warm coat and comfy boots. I ended up choosing where to eat (not surprisingly) so we went to the newly-revamped King's Cafe in the Arcade.
HELLO! PEOPLE! King's Cafe is quite a decent place! Why not abandon that Dessert (#%@$) House on Swanston and head there for a meal instead? It won't disappoint, I assure you. Go against the grain and stop being herded around like sheep (i.e. OMG so many people are queueing up there, let's eat there too!) who assume that only crowded places have good food. What's life without a bit of risk? Eating the same, safe thing over and over again is -_-|||. Life's not meant to be safe. (I mean, I totally respect that security is important in a person's life, but c'mon man, it's just food, experimenting a little more won't hurt much) It's said that the bigger risk you take, the bigger the gain you stand to receive. ^^
We stayed there for about 2hrs, haha, cuz we were busy chatting. I'm surprised I didn't eat more air than food! Though I wholeheartedly believe that meals are primarily about the company than about the food. What's a five-star dinner when you're eating alone? Eating instant noodles with friends seems so much the richer. That's why I love people. They give your life colour, when sometimes you just bore yourself out. :) If tehre were no people other than yourself, who'll be there to irritate you, to irk you, to make fun of you, to laugh with you, to accompany you, to talk with you, to help you understand you etc.
HAHA, I know I was complaining and nagging about missing Ghost Whisperer but inside, I know I would have chosen to go out with friends over staying home to catch a TV program. :) I just nag cuz it irriates people I like to irritate. MUHAHAHAHAH!
I'd like to end with a final observation: the new Flinders St tram stop is really cool. Love the additional benches. Love all the people surrounding me and holding me up, too. They're like benches. Always there for you when you need to rest, and fun to "sit" on. HEEHEE.
NARA! <3
...is what I said. Savvy?
