Talked about all these things until 6am, but mainly it was how he wanted to maintain his relationship despite it being a long distance one. Cass, I don't know if you're still reading this but I can now tell you how I actually think about it. As long as both sides are willing to try, then it'll work. Even though you'll only see them only once in every while, distance makes the heart grow fonder. If anything it'll make you appreciate each other more and make you treasure every second and minute you spend with them when you do get to see them. Even if it'll be hard and painful at first you can always use your studies to numb the pain and help you make it out. Study hard, do well and spend all the time you want after your hard work to stay with the person you love. Your relationship won't bore out easily, you won't be seeing each other every day and eventually run out of things to do. There will always be something new to excite each other with and if anything I think it'll make the relationship better. I think trust and determination is key. Without determination, you won't believe in your relationship. Without trust, your relationship will be filled with holes and eventually collapse. To conclude, make sure you both want to put in the effort and maintain your relationship and make sure you trust her and know that she also trusts you too. Study hard when you're away (because there won't be as many distractions) so you can enjoy yourself to the fullest when you do come back and visit her :) And if that's not enough motivation, think of seeing her as a reward after studying hard during these months. Surprise her too from time to time, send a small gift over or something that reminds her of you (a T-shirt, toy, letter, anything. Spray it with your cologne too!). It'll bring a smile to her face, trust me. I know that you're the type of person who would use Skype for anything but call her at night from time to time, surprise her again. I'm pretty sure no one would mind receiving a call from the person they like no matter what time in the morning or night it is. And plus, Melbourne isn't that far from Sydney so you can make day trips if necessary :) Just speaking my thoughts, up to you if you still want to go ahead with it. 

You're probably trying to familiarise with everyone in your dorm right now so you'd be too busy for anything but take care, meet lots of great new people! I'm sure you can find another Danny, another Christian and another me :) Study hard and be the pediatrician you've always wanted to be. Do you still remember back in the days when I truly thought that pediatricians were cool and admirable? (I still do hehe) Seeing a grown man interact with children and saving their lives. Ever since then you've set yourself on a path to study pediatrics and now you're actually going to pursue your dream. So much respect for you. And don't forget we're all a phone call away and you know how much I love receiving phone calls during the night LOL so don't hesitate yaaaa. Take care, kid :)

Tuesday 18th February 

Jamie Oliver with the girls!

Lemon lime bitters as usual, it's a bad habit that's emptying my wallet. 

The waiter was so qt omfg whenever he came over to ask if everything was okay he just had to ask from right beside my ear and you know, French accents kill me. Overall I didn't think it tasted that great lol but we did have a pretty fun gossiping/catch up session. Bodelia kept asking about Jess's (Lee) mum getting cancer LOL and then Melissa had to explain that it was just a cyst and Jess was just overreacting etc; Went to JB Hi-Fi because Jess (Feng) wanted to look at laptops. We all chilled at Tom n Tom's for a bit and then I left to go get my ID with some noobs huehue. None of us had a my bus 2 and then we missed 500 buses in the process. Tristan then gave me the 28 business cards that Will Zhan (Mr Sweg) had sent to me HAHAHA Sorry though, I didn't actually know that he would send it and address it to Tina Jew. Then being the silly person I am I didn't bring my driver's license or passport so I couldn't get my ID in the end and only Dan and Brian did :(  Brian then left for Shirley and then we went to Sydney K for an hour and I swear to fuck it was just like that karaoke scene for Shi Won's birthday in Reply 1997. Well for me it was... Apart from that, watching them sing was actually really fun :) 

Tristan then had to leave, Dan stayed at Tom n Toms with me for a while before he had to leave and then the fuckery began. The wait for Shirley and Brian to come was so agonizing, I felt like Andrew for some reason when he was by himself. Couldn't stop reminiscing and yeah that's never good when you're in public haha...

Became an emotional wreck (definitely an understatement) while downing the soju, thank you Shirley and Brian for being there. All I remember is that songs with pretty devo lyrics kept playing and then at one point it stopped (thank fuck) Kobow decided to play "How to Save a Life" by The Fray and for the entire night it was stuck in my head and it internally killed me. Even though the lyrics didn't match the situation, the line "where did I go wrong" kept repeating and repeating in my head and that was the death of me because I literally don't know where I went wrong sigh. 

Shirley then bought us ice cream because Brian and I were both broke as fuck and the lady gave us free glutinous balls because it was getting late during the night and it would've gone to waste anyway :) Then I crashed at Shirley's and the soju hit me after I showered. I made a few phone calls and dnmed with Shirley till 3am... she cried with me too... and it was also her birthday. I'm sorry :( Why do I keep making people cry on their birthdays... first Luan and now Shirley. Then I apologised for not being able to make it to her yum cha lunch thing because of the sudden change in plans to go Chatswood. Claire also called and the first thing she says is, "where's daddy?" Your 'daddy' is going to become a doctor haha
