Hallo! I'm not dead!

With The Hero in Langkawi

Hello all :) Yes, it's been a while, but this time I actually have an excuse for not writing for ages. So to save time, here's a summary of what I've been doing for the last six months or so:
- Work
- Work
- Work
- Study
- Study
- Work
- Study
- Exam
- Work
- Stress-induced migraine.

Actually, to be fair, "boyfriend" should be in there too, self-dubbed codename "The Hero". Haha, don't roll your eyes too much dear reader, it might actually be justified! Or not, hehe^^ (Actually, it is because he is a hero for putting up with me and not complaining about having to share my time with my studies.)

So as it turns out, studying in one city (Masters of International Law at UTS) whilst working in another (Admissions Assistant at the University of Wollongong) and dating someone in a third city (Canberra, 3 hours away) is not such a great recipe for a peaceful life. But it certainly keeps things "interesting" and challenges your time-management skills (or whatever of them exist).

Oh, so I should apologise here if you haven't heard from me in a while and are wondering if I'm still alive - sorry for being a terrible friend! :)

Which is not to say that I haven't had time for the occasional holiday, namely Langkawi! It was only for about 8 days in my mid-semester holiday break, but it was long enough to relax a bit and enjoy some quality time with The Hero.
There were also lots and lots of "cute" monkeys (read: cheeky bordering on aggressive) and lizards, and since Langkawi also has a crocodile farm featuring a lot of deformed crocs (I'm guessing they are a result of a fair amount of inbreeding), we saw some interesting freak animals amongst all the cute ones.

Oh and of course we had some very yummy food! I won't go into too much detail since most of my photos are on Facebook and yes, I have recently realised that I may take excessive amounts of food photos. MAY. But the Thai restaurant at the Berjaya was AMAZING, and a good distance away from our cabin that it gave us a nice walk backin the evening to digest everything we'd eaten (ok, scoffed).

So apart from that brief interlude, the previous summary has pretty much applied. Due to graduate in July of 2014, but hopefully I will find a job in Sydney next year, or possibly Canberra (if I can transfer to ANU) which will solve at least one commuting problem. We'll see how it goes I guess. In the mean time, am enjoying my job (the people I work with are pretty good, and that's even considering that they don't even know about this blog!^^) and law is proving pretty interesting, so things are manageable in a hectic kind of way.

Well that's about it for now - sorry for the lack of food-related pictures and also the lack of cute fat animal pictures! I'll make up for it next time, promise ;)
