FLY AWAY TO SYD
on the journey to Sydney.
4 years in Sydney is an awefully long time.
Catch me before I fly away, cause I'm having the time of my life.
Friends come and go, but the close ones never part irregardless of the distance.

I ripped this off the NSW Badminton group on Facebook:
"Badminton is the world's fastest racquet sport - speeds of over 200 km/h have been clocked at shuttle impact. Any player of similar level, playing tennis or squash will realise they have to move faster and much more in badminton. Yet it can be played by people of all ages. In many countries children start playing badminton from as young as 5 years old. Such development from grass-roots levels also result in those juniors proceeding to Under 17s and Under 19s national tournaments. On the other hand, there are hundreds of veterans even over the age of 60 still playing to maintain their fitness and keep in touch with friends. In the Veterans Teams tournaments around 500 players over the age of 40 meet to play competitively over different weekends at places like Albury and Ballarat every year.
When it is played at a reasonable level, a badminton match requires highly concentrated actions, which include quick movements, twisting, jumping, stretching and striking at the shuttle. In a typical game, though the court is smaller, a badminton player covers at least twice the distance of a tennis player."

I like the way they make Badminton sound so much better than Tennis. haha.

Friends say I'm mad by taking difficult majors, but I say I'm schizo.
Impressions I give;
First Impression: Cool
Second meeting: Friendly
Third time: Funny
Thereafter: Ridiculous to a point whereby you ignore her.
That said, I still
love all my
friends.
Currently residing in Sydney, my motivation in life to
travel anywhere and everywhere. I have this thing for food too. I love restaurant-scouting. My best friend in Sydney is a cat called
Fuzzy.
He is the cutest thing alive, way better than this bear called Buddy. My household contains of a monkey named
Julius,
and a Lobster called
Lobby. As you can see, I have a thing for animals. My secret fantasy is to shave my head.
Oh, and Badminton is a thing of the past. I'm taking up Golf soon.
Desires!
- Buy myself a degree, with distinction average
- Buy myself a driving licence
- Increase the members of my household
- Skydive
- Polaroid Camera
- Wardrobe revamp
- Furnitures for the apartment
- Soundproof my room so that I can blast my music 24/7
