so now what?
I tried explaining to Cody how light and free I felt.
'Course you do,' he said. 'You're banjoed out of your head on free Pina Coladas.' (It had become the holiday catchphrase.)
'You've given up on men,' he said. 'You can't do that.'
I tried to explain that I haven't given up, merely reshuffled my pirorities, but I didn't do a very good job of it, probably on account of being banjoed out of my head on free Pina Coladas.
But it didn't matter.
Happiness means not having to be understood.

Todays mail yielded some interesting post. One of which was another job offer but the first of which taps into the IS side of my double major (which I neglected and didnt think about till this offer, as the jobs Ive been looking at and have been poking at me have all been fully accounting related),and one was a cheque from the Australian Tax Office, with my taxes returned. Yay. I earned a good amount of money working part time in accounting in Perth, and my taxes returned, converted to Malaysian Ringgit or Philippine Pesos, is a good amount of money. Its a nice windfall and I can buy myself a nice new phone and/or do some shopping or buy a holiday. I dunno. But yay, money.
My brother is a silly teenage boy. Watch the proof below:

He is the last one, with a bucket on his head. Yes. Its hard believing we are related sometimes. But he's a lovable fool and I am tekilapopped.
The other day, in my mail, was also my official "YOU HAVE BEEN CONFERRED" letter from Curtin University, Aus. How nice. Its essentially the last award pic letter I scanned up for you all when I was boasting. :P er, showing. Except it now states what my major is (Accounting & Information Systems double major for any future employer and/or curious friends/people who dont pay attention and still believe I have completed a different major). Im too lazy to scan it up. :P
I also finally secured a place to graduate in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia, this May 11.Background update, studying at Curtin means you can choose where you graduate, in ceremonies all over the world (well okay, Hong Kong, China, SIngapore, Malaysia, Perth or Sydney), probably to accomodate the vast number of international students, all at different times.
You get the same certificate no matter where (so I suppose thats where the money goes, to have an Australian Degree) you graduate, you can even choose to not have a ceremony, which is what I was half tempted to do, but my mom said she'd murder me calmly in my sleep if I chose that option.
It was hard deferring the graduation to there, stupid emailing of many people who said it 'wasnt possible' as since I finished in Perth, I was eligible for the Perth graduation, but I am stubborn, so well afterd email after email and calls here and there, I did it. Honestly prefer graduating with my batch and my classmates and friends I began with and supported to graduating with a mass of people in Perth who really dont give a flying duck about me. My parents didnt mind either graduation ceremony, the Perth or the Miri one, and said it was up to me. I wanted Miri. So yay that now I can.
I also want to show off to vast numbers of unbelievers that I am done and theyre not. That I didnt fail and have to shift courses, that I did spectacularly despite my haphazard study ways and my tendency to be an airhead and a danceholic and club enthusiast. That Im done. DONE! HAHAHAHAHAHAAMWAHAHAHAHHAHAA
*ahem*
I figure I can be a lazy ass till at least May 11. I dont really want to find full time work until then, but lets see when a)my parents get sick of my face mooching off them (nah, theyll just want me to do the asian thing and earn a living with my degree) or b) I get bored of being a lazy ass.
Being someone used to the adrenaline filled lifestyle, has it been hard not doing well,much of anything? Strangely, no.I keep thinking I have about 50 years of work ahead of me anyway, and this will be my final vacation till I get all career focused.
Plus, my mom and dad? Pretty darn awesome. I cant believe it took me 21 years to realise.
And randomness:
I lackphotoshopping skills/patience. I will probably do a proper picture post soon. As these photos? The photos are months old. Months. But I really miss the people in the photos with me.
Yet life. Well, life moves on.
