this week would be the 12th week of classes since uni started and boy is time ever going by so fast nowadays. finals period start in 2 weeks and i'm not even sure i know half of what i'm supposed to. everyone seems to be getting into gear and revving their engines and even bar on the hill has an event next wed labelled as "the last chance to party before exams". heh talk about setting the trend.
ikea. been the highlight of the past few weeks as erik and i journey down to the world's biggest furniture manufacturer for not furniture but food. erik who happens to be swedish has been getting homesick and suicidal lately as he's stuck in the hole of a place called ourimbah which is where our campus is unlike me who managed to escape to newcastle this year for greener pastures. hence upon finding out that something from his motherland is just under an hour away in syd, bang! next thing you know both of us are wolfing down meatballs with lingonberry jam and acting like kids in a candy store as we prance up and down on beds and chase each other with sticks between our legs that have horses head's on one end. and when he finally ends up in the real candy store he goes crazy and grabs everything he touches with a maniacal look in his eyes. its funny how much joy one can derived from something when one is pressed and pegged down outside his comfort zone. i feel alive. oh and one cool thing: most products in ikea which have cool-and-sometimes-tongue-twisterish names actually have meanings. really interesting how common terms in a foreign language appear novel at times.
splendour in the grass tickets are going on sale in 2days. really wanna try to make it this year as it's the premier camping music fest which would be showcasing sigur ros, vampire weekend, the fratellis, wolfmother, band of horses and the vines; just to name a few, this time around. and the second lineup has not even been annouced yet. it's gonna be dear though with at least 200 bucks being needed to be forked out. ohh boy.
