Sleep. Or lack of it.

I suffered the most amazing bout of insomnia last night.

I tried everything.
EVERYTHING.

I tried watching an entire season of Heroes.
I tried reading half a book.
I tried staring at my ceiling thinking thoughts so my head would be clear.
I tried singing myself to sleep.
I tried reading somemore.
I jumped online and chatted to people and read somemore.

Next thing I know... it was 5 in the morning and the sun was rising.
I buried my head under pillows...
nearly died.
Came out and it was 6 in the morning.



The only good thing is, I got to chat to Brad.
I miss him. :(

Tests

Life is funny like this... it throws you off course when you least expect it to.
But like I've been told time and time again and what I keep telling myself,
"God does not give you what you can't handle."

So, I can handle this. I have other options
but I just have to sit down and decide what I want to do.

Having faith is hard when it's continually tested.

I'm sad...but I'm okay.
I'm confused...but I'll work through it.
I'm hurt...but I'll heal.



Thanks for your support across the seas. Love you all!

Failed. Again.

I didn't get accepted into Monash.
I had all hopes of getting in but didn't...
Guess I should have realised they wouldn't want a failure like me.

Back to the drawing board.

A chapter of The Jo Book.

Hi loves,

Well, I was reading a friends blog post about new chapters in this crazy thing we call life. It got me thinking about my own new chapters in life that I have experienced over the years and what chapters I'm next about to page through.

I think that I have not handled very many things in my life as gracefully or appreciatively as I could have. For example; moving to Australia.That was probably the hugest, thickest, most complex chapter in The Jo Book.

The heroine was forced to move away from her family, who she loved so dearly and could not even bear the thought of living a day away from; her friends, who she knew would always be there for her through thick and thin because they were those kind of friends who are hard to find; her love, who she just recently found and loved with a new kind of love so different from the rest that it broke her heart to even imagine not being able to hold him again.

This heroine kicked, screamed, gave a fight all in order to not go to the crazy country Down Under. Her mother, however, insisted that it would be "good for her future", "good for her life", "good for her education".
So, she left everything she knew and loved behind to a land that was full of strangers and strange creatures.

Everyday was a new, frightening day for this heroine of ours. She lived her days passing time thinking about how wonderful it would be to go home. She locked herself up in her room looking through photos and reminiscing. She spent her nights crying endless tears. She spent her dreams restlessly dreaming about life back home.

Even after she made friends in Australia, she could not accept the fact that her life was now here and not anywhere else. She HAD friends who loved her, she HAD family who would always be there, she HAD lots of cute potential heros around.She refused to see that the life she had now was perfect, no complaints were necessary.

Unless you were a spoiled, selfish, unappreciative little brat like herself.

A few years passed and she found her hero. Her hero was an amazing person, with a heart of gold, will of steel and the charms of an angel.

The hero and heroine lived a happy life together in love for 2 and a half years where she learnt how to live life, how to enjoy it and appreciate what gift has been given to her. Hero had a wonderful relationship with his and her family which made the heroine realise just how loving the family she had with her, there and then, was. She knew she had family in her home town, but her family who was with her was just as important. She realised how her friends there was just as important and loved her just as much as her friends back home. She knew that her love for this hero was beyond the love she experienced before she left. That was when she realised, how lucky she was to have two sets of lives that were just as important as each other.

Now, this heroine was living the exact same life she would have had in Malaysia except, she was in Melbourne. She has a group of friends who would do anything, a huge family that she can go over and see anytime, a fantastic relationship with her parents and brother and a boyfriend who loves her.

The end.


That's ONE chapter of my life. I don't think I'm ready for the next.

Love love,
jo

This is my Melbourne...

Hi all,

Back in Melbourne and loving it.

It was probably the worst flight I've ever been on in my whole entire life. All thanks to this one guy who was coughing his lungs out so hard that I could literally hear the pleghm being tossed around in the back of his throat from two seats in front of him.
Gross.

Mum and the Pinnocks picked me up from the airport after I was harassed by the Customs officer who thought there was meat in the Yee Sang (long life noodles) I brought back because on the ingredients it said there was "Pok" in it. It was like "Hirisan Pok something something". Lol.

Got home and hung out with mum and then later in the evening Jordan came over for dinner. We then went to Vic Market to meet up with Roy and Samantha... too bad for me that the night market was coming to a close. So we headed off to Rooftop but didn't manage to go in because we weren't on the "guest list". Fucking guest list my ass. They just didn't like the fact that we were wearing hoodies. Bah. NO MORE ROOFTOP FOR ME.

We went to a much cooler place anyway. St. Jeromes is a fucking wicked place... if you get a table like we did. It's not really that nice when you have to stand around in people's way and people fall on you. Ha.

Tonight I went for a house cooling party and it was good catching up with people and making new friends. I got home at 1.30 (about an hour ago now) and have spent my time watching Spongebob on telly with a glass of wine. Classy, eh?

Pictures will be up soon. Too much of shit to do before finding time to sit in front of a computer uploading pics.

Alright, off to bed before i pass out.

Love love.

5 more days!

Hey loves and lovelies,

I've only got 5 more days till I leave on a plane to go back home for another 11 months. It's quite scary because I have no idea what I'll do once I get home. I'm scared I won't find a job. I'm scared I won't get accepted into uni. I'm scared my life will fall into a massive shit hole and I won't be able to get out.


In other news, my left hand hurts like crazy. Specifically my middle finger. I don't know what I did to it but it really really hurts. Feels like my finger is about to break off or something.

I'm waiting for Angie to pick me up so I can eatttttttttt dinner. Hurray he just rang he'll be here soonish. I hope.

On Saturday, me and a huge group of people are going to play with elephants at Kuala Gandah! We get to feed, bathe and ride the elephants. All for free! Isn't that fantastic? Who's going... well there's me, Thayne, Mae, Megan, Laila, Nicky, Derrick, Kristie, Jon, Joanne, Celina, Amir and Jacq. Belle and Parin might come but I'm not too sure yet.

I'll be getting my tattoo soon! Hurray!!!! BOO for Sheyna who was supposed to accompany me but now can't because of her back operation. :(

Alright, this finger is killing me. So i'm going to go now...

Love love,
jo
