Scrogen.

1. scrogen
a mixture of nuts, lollies, dried fruit and other items of food that you take with you when you go hiking. It is an energy mix.

It's been a while.

Such a long while that I struggle to remember the font I used. Bodoni? Courier?

I'll settle with Georgia since I'm currently crazy about Ray Charles' "Georgia On My Mind".

Just came back from my pENG road trip (Warnambool-Grampians-Castle"Nice town.Nice people" maine ) ! Too many words to describe the amount of crazy-whacko-you-have-to-be-there-to-fully-comprehend fun that we had!

A couple of highlights before I forget :

- Sleeping through a storm in Warnambool with Team Sexy

- Hiking up Mount Staypleton

- Playing Big2 and eating scrogen up in the clouds (near the peak of Mt Staypleton with the other non-daredevils not willing to risk our lives for a "good view" )

- Making Mars-coated S'mores

- Playing UNO cards (Aussie and M'sian style hahah) in Castlemaine

- The hours of belting out Britney and Timbaland tunes in the Team Sexy van.

- Playing Taboo in Nunchuk.

- Being taken care of in Warnambool when I was feeling feverish. ( Must remember how Min told Pat he was going to drive me around to help me sleep better as an excuse to let me drive around in the Trajet. Heehee.)

- Antique shop in Castlemaine! Someday I'll get my hands on that vintage Bob Marley plate.

Random thoughts:

Must use fluffy grey robe more often. Very comfy.

Nose is still troubling me.

Second day of WeightLoss4Idiots diet. Fruits only. Going crazy! At least I'm back to pre-road trip weight.

Kung Fu Panda with pENG tomorrow after Road-Trip-Photo-Swapping session at my place! I want Happy Cup! Must make sure Jeanniebear is going.

Krissy and Harriet's birthday in approx a weeeeek!

Must not get hooked to steaming hot Lipton tea.

Earl Grey Tea tastes foul.

In Che Che's office now. It's a cloudy day today. Hope it doesn't rain.

Off to meet Stu at Flinders in 12 minutes.

Baddy with pEng tomorrow morning! Yayyy. I miss them. I have no movies to bring to our cook-off/movies night at dingus's place on Saturday. Thought of making my mango pudding. Hmmm have to go dig up the recipe.

Leadership dinner was pretty fun on Friday. Getting there and getting back wasn't the most enjoyable experience. The train broke down halfway to Glen Iris, and we had to climb down the step ladder of the train (it was pretty high up!) and walk on rocks! Luckily Tian and I brought flats.

Convo to remember

Milinda: Tim, we might need to carry Vanessa off the train.

Tim : Hey, I don't usually ask this. But how much do you weigh? Just so I know how much to prepare for.

Btw, I climbed off the train all by myself perfectly well thank you very much. Sure there was a little stumble and I almost fell but the point is that I didn't need a piggyback ride hahah.

Would have been fun though.

AND I'M FREEEEEEE

For the next three and a half months.

Oh holidays. How I love thee.

Been on Facebook since 2am.

Yes, I've fallen into the bandwagon. ARGGHHHH THE SHAMEEE.*covers face*

Nah not really, it's SUPER FUN!

It's 6.36am now though.

So THIS is why people say it's addictive.

Will be going for my jog in half an hour!

YAYYYYY I've missed having all the time in the world to do all my random things during my unearthly hours.

Most recent happenings:

Right after Structures, my last paper whoopdeedooo!, the PEng group went down to Brighton Beach for some beach volleyball, beach cricket, sand-castling, swimming, frisbee-ing, cartwheeling, and a whole lotta fun!!!

And I bought 3 awesome books for 25cents EACH at the Monash Library's second-hand book trolley.

YAYYYY

Both of them are hard covers and one of them has the awesomest cover EVER! So pretty *goggle-eyed* Can't wait to immerse myself in them. Thanks Quyen for telling me 'bout it!

I know a certain Starbucks employee that would be a teeny tiny bit jealous. *cough*Neng*cough*

Okay time for my jog! Today's plan?

Tiramisu and shopping.

I'm so happy I could cry.

Time theft

In an hour and twenty minutes it'll be daylight savings.

It goes like this...

1.58am...1.59am...3.00am

The only instance where the world's mathematical sequence makes no sense.

Great. Dahlah everyone's running out of time trying to cram for exams.

Oh well. Just don't forget to adjust watches, mobiles, clocks, iPods etc etc Melburnians.

Especially if you have an exam on Monday!

I don't think the examination board will accept "Forgot to adjust my watch to daylight savings *cue: sheepish grin* " as an excuse for being late.

Camouflage is so last season

Since I'm no where near a Study Mood cloud, I might as well get all these thoughts out of my head.

These past few days has gotten me thinking, how far would you go for a guy?

They say there's a fine line between fighting for what you want and plain ol' Desperado-Ville.

Then how come they don't teach us these things in school? How for the life of us, will we ever know when too much is too much without a meter of some sort? When we play coy, we get the feeling that you're backing out because you don't feel our interest. Then we feel bad ie. "Shit. I should have (insert what we would have done if we listened to our heart) instead of (insert what we ACTUALLY did by listening to our head) ". So when we do decide to reciprocate, all of a sudden you've lost all ability to respond.

Have guys really lost that drool-worthy I-will-go-all-out-for-a-girl persistence? What happened to those days where the males would trek across mountains, swim across oceans (fine these days we fly but you get what I'm saying), fight dragons (or opposing parents) just to get to the girl they love?

Before the label Boy-Basher is forever imposed on me

, no I don't think that the the aforementioned male species are extinct. I think it's in every guy out there! You don't know it, but as smashing as you may look in an outfit or as big your bulging biceps may be, all every girl wants in her guy is plain and simple.

100% commitment

A promise that we will remain the only girl in your heart and that you will protect us with whatever strength you can muster.

In return, you get our hearts. And that, as my chimui's mum once said, is the most invaluable thing a girl can give. Why you ask?

Because we can't take it back! Once we've given it , you either take care and preserve it or you break it.

And THAT guys, means a whole lot.

So, I know males hate ball-busters. How a girl can be the one to take the lead in the relationship. Making the first moves. Asking for the first date. Expressing our feelings first.

If you don't like us doing that, here's a handy tip.

Do it yourself! If the girl's at all the least bit decent, she won't put you down and snigger while poking fun at how you're still wearing plaid in 2007 to her friends. If she does, then she's not a girl you would want to be in a relationship anyway! If you're upset because, daymn she was a hot piece of ass and you had a bet with your friends you could bonk her at the night's end, then really, YOU are the piece of ass

and I suggest you grow up before you ever attempt any contact with a girl again. Capish?

I know there's lots of you out there, camouflaging your authentic traditional values with (believe it or not it turns us off) male ego and that I-am-so-macho-cool facade. It's not cool anymore! We ain't 5 year olds where you pull on my pigtail and spit on my birthday cake as sign of your crush for me.

Don't even get me started on the whole nonsense of "being shy". Fine, then DON'T be a man. EVER!

Hmmm I kind of lost my plan of action here but my point is

I LOVE the guy-girl relationship. That tingly warm fuzzy feeling that it brings to the two, the way that short moment of eye contact seem to last forever or the subtle message that is sent through a smile.

But the absence of that firey passion of pursuit is making me have second thoughts.

I need more convincing.

*I'm ever hopeful though! My Last.Fm group is not "People who believe in magic rainbows because they're optimists" for nothing y'know?

Okay. Back to vectors and planes in 3-D for me...

Over and out!
