In Hong Kong

Hellooooooooooooo people! I am currently in Hong Kong, as the title suggests. Here things aren't blocked unlike in Guangzhou. Not really enjoying my sister's company at the moment, such a pain in the butt. But it's alright so far. I just arrived this morning at Hong Kong, and so far I went to some opening of some shopping centre. So epensive. Well, stuff costs around the same in Australia. But now I compare prices to Guangzhou's stuff, which is cheappppp. I would right up what I've been up to the last few weeks, except that'll take a while, so I'll leave it to when I come back to Australia. Well I hope everyone is having fun in the land of Oz- really miss you guys :D

24 more hours...

You'd think that because I'm leaving tomorrow, I would have already packed...well that isn't the case ^^" I don't think it'd take me too long to pack, probably only 15 mins tops, so I'll probably pack after a nap tomorrow. I plan to stay awake on the plane because it would be pointless to sleep through the whole flight :D:D Hehe I lovee planes!! I plan to get everyone a little something when I go there, but I can't promise anything great ^^" Considering there are so many people to get gifts for, I hope you don't mind if it's something small or a generic gift that I've given everyone. Well hope everyone has an absolutely awesome holiday and I hope to see you guys next year! ^_____^

Just watched Narnia and came back to find my suitcase full- I haven't started packing -.-" My mum chucked all the stuff to give to the relatives in there already. Now I just gotta find some space to pack some jeans and a coat...

"Heylo sexy."
"I'm sorry but who is this?"
"It's winda babe.!! U out this weeknd?"
" Um I think you have the wrong number."

lol that was the text I got a few moments ago. Lol some people really. It would have been fun to prank her but I don't think she'd appreciate that>_<

One more week!

There's only one more week left before I go! I'm super excited as you can probably guess. Just to let you know, I probably won't be meeting up with anyone this week, because I haven't had time to do stuff I want because I've been out almost everyday. I definitely have to clean my room again, all my clothes have piled up again on my chair-.-" Also all the books/dvds I bought last time are all stacked up on my desk. I haven't had the time to even look at them. Hehe I bought books! So happy XD
This might be my last post for a while depending if I can be bothered updating later this week, so I'll just wish you guys a good holiday, merry christmas and a happy new year :D

Oh yeah, I just remembered that I've seen deathly hallows. It was good. Just that one scene with ron imagining...eurgh. That scarred me bad. Ew ew ew ew.

XD just before, I was watching some chinese tv, and came across an ad for breast enhancement. Basically it was a spray that you spray on your chest which then develops into something bigger. Ridiculous. I changed channels after that waiting for all ads to finish before switching back- and it was still going! One reason why I hate chinese tv, they have really long ads, and ads that play more than 3 times in a row.

If you didn't know already, today I got my learners. Finally. I guess I should have gotten them a few years ago, but it's such much effort to get to vic roads. Well I don't plan to drive any time soon in any case. And just looking at the log book...what a nightmare. I have to fill all those pages??

I was staring at a fly today on the bus. It looked like it was grooming itself then turned towards the glass looking at it's reflection checking itself out. Then it stopped and looked like it was staring out the window. Or it could just be me.

It's not my fault I didn't get to study. You say I had a long time, but to me, it went by real fast. You don't know how stressful the weeks before the break was; I was mentally and physically tired from the endless amount of work uni gave me. So I decided to use my first week of the break to relax and do things like go to the library and chill out for a bit. I thought 2 weeks was plenty of time to study, but unfortunately because of your incompetence, I had to keep going back to the city to help you with the stupid passports. Yeah so maybe I should study once I get back, but for me, I don't think I could because I'm always mentally and physically tired after a day out. Which is why I have to do one or the other. So I'm blaming you if I fail; you're always blaming me even when you don't want to admit your own mistakes and always push the blame elsewhere. Sometimes you don't realise how much I do for you and still I always help out. Be grateful for once damn it.

So I finished my exam T.T I don't know if I went well or not. The multiple choices were easy enough I guess, only 1 or two I didn't know. Short answers, I got most except there were parts I couldn't do. Like the w3c standards or something. Or a loop for javascript. Stuff where I had to write code were on the tip of my mind, except I couldn't write it. So I ended up writing fragmented code where I just inserted bits and pieces.... I'm really worried about that. :/ If they accept my fragmented answers and give me a mark or two, I think I should be able to pass... but if not I've probably failed. Please don't let that be true.

Today I bought my first book. Not a second hand one from the library, not for someone else- but for me. I bought one of those figure drawing books where they show you the structure of the body and stuff, something I definitely need to work on. Despite liking to read books, I don't own that many. I only have those school books, and a few secondhand books from the library (2 harry potter books XD) Quite sad I think. I'd love to buy all these books, but they can reach such a hefty price... Well right now I want to buy some more art books, stuff like landscape, painting, disney art book, animation, etc. and some language studying guides for japanese.
I also bought this watercolouring set for 30 bucks at arts and riot. It's really pretty :3 And it has this special brush pen thing as well!
Lately I feel like I've been spending a fortune... I usually don't spend much on myself, so all this stuff I'm buying feels like I'm spoiling myself way too much XD

crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap this is going to be the first time I've failed ever :'( Only up to wk 8 out of 12 and my exam's tomorrow morning... but my head is overloaded with info, but i'm still trying to write up notes... arghhh...kill me kill me kill me D:

I'm so screwed. I've got tomorrow to memorise css, javascript, general knowledge, html, type/colour. I've only covered general knowledge and html. I thought my exam was on wednesday but it's actually on tuesday!!! @%$!$#%$#^

Isn't this just sad? click here

The other day I was just thinking... if someone would invent a shrink ray, that would solve a whole heap of problems wouldn't it? Just imagine, if every person on the planet was shrunk down to a smaller size, we would have more land, we wouldn't leave such a big carbon footprint on planet earth... would could solve poverty if we left all plantations and such their original size so we would have an endless amount of food. I guess the few problems to this would be the other living animals who live on earth as well.. and we'd pretty much would have to rebuild society from scratch as well.. and if you ever wanted to travel it could take days...

Good news everyone! (lol)
It's finished! We got our passports done! I didn't have to go this time, my dad went there this time. Lol maybe that was the problem. Well yesterday I had to go there to book the appointments because I couldn't follow the steps for booking on the phone. You know those generated messages where you have to choose an option? Yeah those. I selected that number for booking appointments, except the options after it seemed like it was just for information or something. So I gave up because they talked way too much without actually getting anywhere.
Well now I guess I can concentrate on studying, but first have to finish hikaru no go! Apparently I've more or less ditched my studies because I've been tired of travelling to and from the city all week, so I've been watching stuff to pass the time...God I'm horrible. Well I'll just need a pass for my exam to pass this unit soo it shouldn't be hard right?

So today I went back to the immigration office- good news, I got my passport done! Bad news- I forgot to pay for it -.-" Hopefully they won't cancel it or anything; my dad plans to go tomorrow to work on lucy's and rebecca's, so hopefully he should be able to pay for it. Tried getting my sisters' done today, except lucy's name became a problem, so she either has to change it or get a new ticket :/ And rebecca's, because my mum had to get a new driver's license, she didn't have id to prove she was the mum or something -.-"
Seriously, if I have to go another time, I would have met everyone in the office by then.
Well at least I'm a step closer to getting all of this out of the way...

I AM SO FRICKIN' PISSED RIGHT NOW!!!Nothing can describe how I am feeling right now!!! Got mum's license changed, went to the post office, they don't do passports after 2.30pm asdhf;jiuerfjue Went to the immigration office, and I couldn't bloody book an appointment for today!!! So I have to frickin' go back there tomorrow!!! How many times have I tried getting the passport done now? 4 times? 5? And I have a bloody exam I have yet to study for which I have no knowledge at all on- how the hell am I gonna pass now????

Can I just say yesterday was absolute hell. Yesterday my family and I went to get our passports done at the post office. We ended up going into the city 3 TIMES and still didn't get our passports done :/ First time, we were missing a guarantor to watch the signing of some part of the form as well as the photos. So we had to go back to our family friend's place to get stuff signed. I had to go back home to get a bank statement to prove I lived at my address. We decided to take the guarantor with us just in case we missed something. Then supposedly we couldn't get our passports because we didn't have the right certificates because they weren't the official birth certificates and what not. asldjfvaomiowarcs;lmj!!! What THE HELL D:< They're pretty much the bloody same thing why the hell can't you accept it!! And also, my mum's driver license had some spelling mistake so she has to get that fixed and some other crap. >:( If that doesn't work she might have to buy a new ticket. So tomorrow I have to go with my mum to apply for birth certificates, driver licenses and who knows what else. aertmv;oierjua damn terrorists or whatever, thanks for wrecking the system and making getting a passport so bloody hard!!

Thinking...

So, just now, I finished enrolling for next year. Phew. Even now, I'm still not too sure if it's what I want to do. I've got 5 core units that I have to do, and then two electives and a choice in what theory for art I want to do.
For theory, I decided to do a fashion, image and advertising; I would have liked to do something that relates more to pop culture, but I think the units for that are only for 3rd years :/ All the other theory units were alright, but none of them caught my eye.
As for my electives, I chose to do Japanese for both of them. I'm really unsure about this choice though, because from the way I see it, it's sort of a 'waste'. By that I mean not spending my time at uni wisely. I should be studying something that would apply to the field I want to head in right? Sure japanese might come in handy, but it's only basic stuff, so in the long term, it wouldn't be as useful. I really want to do heaps of other units like 3D animation or maybe some more digital imaging units.. or maybe illustration? I could probably take those up in my third year, but that's only two electives! And I'm wondering if I should go for Honours or not...Honestly, it doesn't sound like any fun at all, but it would be good wouldn't it?

Just Another Day..

I'm actually feeling really sleepy right now, despite it only being a quarter past ten. At the moment I'm working on a drawing which I promised Phoebe ages ago -.-" It's not that I don't keep my promises, but sometimes I get caught up in the moment, y'know?
So, I think my parents have finally decided on what's happening for our trip to china. My sister Lucy and I will be leaving on the 5th of December, just after my dad's b'day, and we'll be staying in Hong Kong for the few weeks before the rest of the family accompanies us on the 25th (I think?). We'll stay an extra week so they get to have their time there, and then we'll be leaving for Shanghai. So I think I'll end up being in Shanghai for only two weeks now?

Originally the plan was for Lucy and I to stay an extra week or two there after my parents went back, except we had the language barrier problem :/ But now my mum, worried that we wouldn't manage decided to let us go back to hong kong and stay there instead:D That was what I more or less thought we should have done in the first place, but it would have meant extra costs in flying back. I thought it would have been better if we just flew to Shanghai directly then fly back down to Hong Kong, except apparently it costs more? :/

I don't know, but right now I'm really excited XD Just a month away now! I just want a break from everything else, everyone, and just live in a totally different place. Not that I'm saying I'm sick of everyone's faces, because that's kinda hard considering I don't see you guys that often anyway, but more like just a chance to lose myself in another culture entirely.

I'd love to see my cousins again though :P Being the second oldest on my mother's side, I'd love to see how everyone else has grown. I want to see my oldest cousin the most because, real funny thing is that he's kinda short XD XD Like, in one of the photos he had with my grandma, he was shorter than her XD XD He was probably slouching or something, but still, it looked funny >___< Okay I should stop being so mean :P

There are just so many things to look forward to when travelling, don't you think?

Yay! So it's decided! I'll be leaving on the 4th of December to China!! Still not quite sure when I'll be coming back, but I'd like to stay longer. Problem is that would mean that I would be staying in Shanghai, where I can't speak Mandarin very well^^" So maybe I should come back with the rest of the family? If that's the case, I'll be coming back on the 15th of February I think... sigh.

I am such an idiot-.-" Today I went to the library and I was looking at the dvd collection and happened to pick up the batman movie with the joker and catwoman. Problem is, I borrowed it and just realised that it's in french. /fail

I am so close to finishing now!! I just have to hand in typography tomorrow, and my online journal for my animation sometime and then I'm done with homework!! *dances*
You have no idea how stressful the last few weeks have been -.-" There was an endless flow of homework which required me to actually do homework, so I haven't had a good break for a while. But now that it's almost over, I can actually hang out with friends! :o :o Yay!! Looking forward to see everyone sometime soon (hopefully). Although I guess I'll need at least a week and a half to study for my exam OTL >.> I seriously have no clue how to start revising for that...

Oh I'm a gummi bear..oh I'm a gummi bear...

------*shot*

T.T Today I just realised that one of my projects is actually due on monday rather than wednesday T.T 3D modelling and my animation due on that day, this friday, my typography and website is due... and because it's janet's party.. well basically I have about 3 days to finish everything T.T Kill me now.

...Seriously?

Lol XD I just thought it was funny that's all.

You know what's weird? Have you ever just randomly looked through a friend's friendlist on facebook and clicked on a random person to find people that you know are friends with them? o.O It's so weird how people are all connected in some way or another... yeah okay I'm being real random again... can't really concentrate on what I'm saying because I was watching bones...haha.XD
Well what about our first Saint? You know, Mary? Honestly I just learnt about it a few hours ago from watching an ad. I think I need to start watching/listening to the news again-.- Sometimes when I want to talk about the news with my friends at uni though, they don't seem interested/well informed... I think a lot of art & design students are pretty much into the whole music/photography/fine arts scene. Sometimes it can be hard to fit in :( I kinda want to hang out with some of them over the hols, I haven't gone out with them at all besides one (when I went to geelong). It's hard when everyone lives in different parts of melbourne:/
Well, I'll be heading off to bed now because I'm getting cold feet. Seriously cold now. Go away freezing coldness.

Formspring

Just so you know, I've answered some questions ^^" I kinda forgot about it because no one was asking questions.. but what do you know, there are some:P And quite a long time ago too...sorry^^" And I will totally spam you guys with questions when I get around to thinking of some. So be prepared.

Feeling a little better about my workload although it hasn't changed... But just the thought of only two more weeks of hell makes me happy :)

Praise me... I'm a genius! XD

..
Okay maybe not but so happy that I've got my flash story fixedXD

Just totally downloaded a whole heap of pdf files from scribd <3 Love it.

I am eternally screwed. Why do I do this to myself???? Someone save meeeeee...!!

Tim Burton

So are you guys okay with this Saturday? Help me out with the time though.. I don't know what time you guys like to get out of bed. And did you want to catch up on the train or at Flinders?

Tim Burton Exhibition

Okay I'm going to ask one more time...who wants to come? The more the merrier^^ And we can go do something else after that if you want.. This will be the last time for me to relax before I become a nerd for the next few weeks.

Tomorrow I go back to uni:( I'm kinda happy because then I can see my friends again (been real lonely over the holidays..) but also dreading it because that means there are things due, which gets hectic because most art students don't have exams so they get the advantage to concentrate on their folio/work.
Just wondering.. did anybody do an OHS unit at the beginning of the year? I just found it funny how we as students don't follow them, and the teachers don't enforce them either. Seeing as half of the day, I'm literally just staring at a screen with no breaks in between (well sometimes, but not always), and how I sit on my swivel chair (either slouching, fold my legs, sitting on one leg etc XD)which will probably be the cause for a bad back and poor eyesight in the future.

Scared

Well not really, but kinda. I might have told you this before, but I'm pretty sure there's a bees nest in the wall of my room. I mean, every time the weather gets warm, I hear the whole wall abuzz. And I don't think my parents would do anything about this infestation. But bloody hell, it's kinda scary thinking that the only thing separating you from a swarm of bees. And then there are those slits in the top of the rooms- I wonder if they can get through them? I think that's one reason why I like winter..
Right now they're buzzing furiously..T.T

The past..

Reason for post: reminscing. Out of boredom, I logged into Gaia.. I was curious as to what's changed, and I guess you could say that it's been overrun by advertisements and all this crap.
Anyway, getting back to what I wanted to talk about- my journal. I was just reading through some of the entries, earliest dating back to 2005. What saddens me most is how much of a noob I was. Horrible spelling, emo-ing galore, and a ton of emoticons (..well that hasn't changed), makes me wonder how much I've changed since then.
I hope I haven't changed too much, preferrably just the emo side of me.. I should have gone for help when I was younger -.- I was quite the depressing person back then.. But for some reason since starting uni, I feel that I've changed heaps.
So for your enjoyment, here are some entries for your entertainment:

"Stupid Poem

there once was a cat who thought he was fat, so he sat on the hat but it was actually a mat, so he chased that rat and gave it a pat but got hit by a bat and that is that XD"


"OMG!CAMP!

cant believe it! this week i went on camp and it was the worst! 4 days without a shower!eugh>.< i had to walk up mt. stirling and walked more than 20 kms i think. honestly it was the worst camp ever!! my tutor is just to optimistic when it comes to camp. everyone was soo annoyed cauz she was being tough and so we had to sit through long lectures on stuff. i just hope i never have to go on camp again with my tutor!!! "

"today was the 2nd health day. i did tai bo which was really boring.i felt like an idiot when the guy made us do these dance moves. i hate it when the school organises something that everyone has to be involved in. i am more of a person who stands on the side.
today one of my friends who left my school came and visited. i wasnt even able to say hi properly. everyone just crowded around her and just wont let others get a chance to say hi. i feel kinda sad cauz ive known her kinda longer than some and those who i dont often see talking to her are able to say hi and everything. i guess i dont really belong at this school cauz now it feels like im just drifting apart from most of my friends. i just cant wait to see my friends from my primary school. maybe this will give me a chance to actually catch up with some of my friends.."

and one more~

accidents happen...


today my family and i went shopping for grocerys.. i stayed in the car of course.. well when my parents came back there was this guy who parked right next to us and said u parked over the line or something and my dad said he was sorry but it was kinda hard to back into the space. then the guy said to my dad that he should go back to driving school and they will teach him.. icon_scream.gif so my dad was just waiting for the guy to back out in his card and the guy icon_scream.gif he opened the door and smashed it into our car on purpose!!! so my dad got into the car and did the same thing and they both kept smashing the door into each other... i mean couldnt the guy wait to we backed out so he could get in? does he have to smash our car just because we were over the line a bit? i hope he will suffer! bit harsh of me to say that...whoops... "

--

Yeah just felt like sharing with you guys^^" Gave me something to laugh at least..But seriously, alot of my entries were either me complaining or me emo-ing.. Sorry for you guys who had to put up with me back then^^"

I don't think I'll ever get sick of watch Journey to the West.. Or any canto action/martial arts films XD

http://www.snopes.com/photos/arts/microscopic.asp

Woah! O.O Just imagine making art like that!

Okay I was just looking at one of the tabs after submitting that post, and I clicked on Stats. O.O Okay I'm a little creeped out.. I know some of the views was probably me on my phone at uni but still.. if you thought it of as individuals, how creepy is that??

Video

Does anybody like their fonts? This is a video that we watched in a lecture, which I thought was pretty funny XD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3k5oY9AHHM
I would have embedded the video except it didn't let me -.-"
Also yesterday I found this site called snopes.com. It's fun to read when your bored.

So today I can sorta relax, as next week is finally mid semester break *cheers* Oh how I've missed you holiday! But alas, uni homework kicks in again, stealing my precious time.*sobs* I'm getting kinda scared now actually, I've got all these projects and assignments to do that I'm afraid my head will explode. They're so inconsiderate- why couldn't they just extend the weeks at uni instead of making us rush so bad at the very end? How can you be so cruel? T.T T.T
Okay now I'm going to either read a book or play some BBS. Or maybe watch a movie. Anyways, later guys.

Hello? Is anybody there?

omg javascript,coldfusion and soon ajax...djikjifjkusiefugfderwkmlifg whyy did i choose to be it manager???

TTTTIIIREEEDDD....

Today has been a relatively good day, except for the very end. Thinking that being let out of class early was great, to then realize half way when heading back to the shop that my parents were waiting for me at my uni. -.- The one time I don't check my phone, something like this happens. Trust.

Well today has definitely gotta be a first for me, being able to talk for so long. I seriously did not think it was possible for me to talk so long. I can't say I enjoy talking so much though, it get's tiring. One reason why I prefer being quiet.

Anyway, this morning after the lecture, me and my friend, as well as her friend (which I kinda just met) ended up sitting down and talking. Her friend, I think he was one of those genius kids or something. He said he finished yr 12 when he was 16. Bloody hell. He's already finished a course in animation or something, and this year he's taking vis com. He's already living by himself, he can cook, he's got a full time job, he's looking into invest- omg how can someone already be so accomplished??

Well my friend ended up having to go to class after an hour, so I ended up being left with him till he's class. There's not really any problems or anything, but being left with someone you kind of just met gets a little awkward. //>.
Today I also met someone from my club, someone I knew on the forums, but not really. I wish I was a little more active at the start of the year- that was probably my best chance of meeting the people I talk to online, but because I only sort of started getting active, it's kinda hard to join in when everyone knows each other.

So I'll just end it like that for now, I need to work on my club "sleep deprived students" logo for typography. XD How befitting. TTYL~

4 more days till supernatural season 6 begins! Probably won't start dling it yet though. I'm getting a bit excited, it's nearly the end of the semester, and maybe I'll get to see you guys soon! I really do miss hanging out with you guys, it can get pretty lonely sometimes when you go to a uni in the middle of nowhereT.T

Despite it being spring, I think there have only been a few warm days.Where is all the sunshine mother nature?? I'm freezing in my bed here! I want those nostalgic warm weather that we once upon a time had, where we weren't burnt to a crisp or freezing because of the air conditioner. I want to feel the summer breeze in my hair, the sun shining bright in the blue sky; wouldn't it be wonderful? I miss those days, and long for them. That would be eternal bliss for me. To live carefree with only blue skies and nice, warm weather for the rest of my life...that would be nice.

Does anyone else think this is cute, or is it just me?

341st post

Well so far I've progressed pretty far in the game I think, where Terra walked away from Aqua and Ven. There's this minigame called command board- it's like monopoly, but fun! I've spent most of my time playing it instead >_<

At the moment I'm looking up action scripting for my interactive story (last year multimedia all over again..) except I'm aiming for something better than what I made last year. I wish they gave us more direction into action scripting though, it's like we're expected to know all this stuff already?? So I'm just going to find some tutorial and hopefully create something cool. But it's daunting how close uni's coming to an end, with only 5 weeks to create a whole 3D scene, a website where I'm the IT manager(javascript, coldfusion WTH I don't know anything!), Typography assignments (magazine cover, logo design and some minor), and of course my interactive story.*breathes*

So, if I don't see anybody in the next few weeks, rest assured I'm probably dead at my computer trying to do my homework.

The Golden Compass is a bad movie. I finished reading the book not too long ago to recap my memory, and I just happened to watch the movie today. The girl that was assigned to play Lyra irks me. And the whole setting was totally different from what I imagined. I like my vision of the world better. Who doesn't really? Maybe I should just stop watching movies based on other things. Most can never achieve the same amount of popularity as the original, and pretty much never portray it right either.

Other than that, I'm just about to start playing BBS. Be jealous XD

Peeeeved

I hate you Maya. You and your stupid trim tool. You deserve to dieeee!! Once I've finished this god forsaken project, I am going to seclude myself in my room and celebrate by playing bbs. So take that stupid Maya! And I dread the next time I have to use you for project 2. T.T

HAPPY

I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT!!!! I also got FFXII while I was at it ^^ I wanted to get crisis core and ffvii except they didn't have them in stock..:( But on the site it said they did! Sigh...when will I be able to get those games??

It's Out!

It's out it's out it's out it's out..!!!

Avatar-The Last Air Bender

~I just finished watching the series! Aww it's so good! Even if it is a 'kids' show! Zuuko is so cute >_< It's a pity he only joined in during the last few episodes. But I guess that's why the show is so popular..the characters are great, storyline is great, and I love how they brought in a bit of culture into it too. Sigh~ It's what got me going for the last few weeks. The style, the humour- it's all very light and doesn't feel heavy like other shows. It's a good break from everything.
Okay time for me to get back to drawing my background..

There are way too many things for me to watch..!! Did you know, there's a korean version of Itazura na Kiss that's just been showing? It's called Mischievous Kiss, starring flower boy Kim Hyun Joong from Boys before Flowers :3 I miss watching asian dramas D:

T.T Why couldn't BBS come out on the 4th?? It would have been the perfect excuse to get it too!! And it's coming out on thursday too.. T.T Must.. get!!

"it sucks to be me..it sucks to be me..I said it sucks sucks sucks..etc"

Can anyone guess where that's from? I've got the song in my head..so catchy.
I guess that line could be applied to anyone. Although sometimes I feel more so to me. I really shouldn't complain I guess..but that just wouldn't be me :/
But you know what sucks? The fact that parents don't even know what you want. There are plenty of things that I want yet also nothing at all.. But really, it's more of the fact that my parents don't really know what I like. :/ Just before, my dad gave me money for my birthday because he didn't know what to get. But honestly, I'd rather have an actual gift rather than money. I don't care I can buy stuff with money; it'd be nice just to be given something that I've wanted for once, instead of me having to say what it is.
This week has been horrible, and I don't really think it'll get any better. Celebrating on the weekend will just put me off my animation hw, which I really have to finish. And I don't think alot of them will be at home with all the shopping and stuff in the morning. Kinda feels lonely. I do kind of wish to have a small, informal get together party where it's just like any other day at my house, but with more food. Hmmm....
Well right now I think I'll just finishing reading my book..so close to the end!

I think I shall ignore two people who keep going on about a certain anime without me >:( I really want to watch it, but then I'd be stuck with waiting for each episode, and I probably don't have the time to watch it right now.

So. I guess this week should be interesting. Two main projects due on Friday, and I have barely started. Then on the weekend, I'll either be stuck working on my animation despite it being my birthday and my mum's... hmm what else? I'm really tired and want to catch up with people.. but I need more time. Does anyone want to swap lives with me for a while? I need to stop stressing or else I seriously will go bald.

sorry, internet capped again so probs no post for a few more days. My dad disabled the internet so we could still receive international calls, so i can't even get slow internet. :(

Nostalgia

You guys have totally got to come over for a sailor moon nostalgia session XDXD I've got a few sailormoon isos which I'll turn into a dvd later so we can watch!! Haha it brings back memories...


As for the tim burton exhibition- can we make it in the second week of next month?

Mon ami, do you remember me? Yes..it has been long. Perhaps too long. But I shall release myself from these shackles before the new moon, and perhaps we shall see each other soon... soooon....

BTW did anyone want to go to Tim Burton exhibition? I really want to go, but not alone.. and it will be ending soon I think? Or was it october?

Quick update:

yesterday I fell over some stairs at flinders and now I've got three big bruises. :( Pretty embarassing stuff. Well it's kinda cool cauz I don't remember the last time I've had a bruise..

Also real random, but have I told you my multimedia tutor looks like Leonard from The Big Bang Theory? His hair is a little more poofier but he's got the glasses and everything lol.

So for the last few hours, I've been going through my sassy_starry email account deleting, unsubscribing etc to reduce my cyber footprint. Also wanted to get rid of my email account and all, but it'll take a while. In the meantime, I had a stroke of brilliance. I was on gaia, trying to sell as much as possible, leaving all the better items for a giveaway, when I thought of something better. Instead of giving away all my hard earned virtual gold, why not use it to buy something? Like art? Hehe.. If I can find some good artist who is willing to do some fanart- yay!! The only problem is finding a good quality artist. Not trying to bag some of the artists on gaia, but some charge quite a bit for a doodle. Got roughly more than 2 mil I think so I can probably get heaps of art? Hehe...^^

I'm totally freaked out at the moment. I just so happen to come across my youngest sister's facebook page through my cousin. The fact that she would know so many people, and just how active she is on the net scares me O.O I think I act way too over protective over my sisters, sort of like a parent in a sense, not wanting them to grow up. My other sister, I don't know what to think about her, she's way out of control, but Reb's has always seemed like the one who would be more like me I think. The thing is, I don't spend as much time with her than I do with Lucy because of the age difference I think. She still acts very childish, which is the one thing that annoys me-.- As in she still act's like when she was in grade 2 or something.
I don't know.. I kinda wish I was a single child, that way I wouldn't have to worry about all these things. I'm scared how my sisters might turn out, for better or worse. So many things can happen in a few years..

Sorry I've abadoned my blog for so long, but I'm going to have to leave it for another week I think T.T I think I'm the one who usually blogs often, and the fact that I've neglected it for a while, just goes to show how stupid uni is. >:( It's only the fourth week in, and I'm already so stressed.. just because I do an art and design course it doesn't mean I don't do anything. Okay now I have to go and make a css website or something... TTFN

Mei

Yay I can post again!! Except I won't because I should be doing homework orz XD Gotta finish my 3D model of my usb, write up a summary of my group's fictional world as well as gathering images for it, and finish two posters for my typography class. I can't wait till next week is over..

Currently learning how to blog in class XD I hope these few years have paid off.

You know, despite my internet being capped and all, today it's running quite fast O.O Not that that's a bad thing, but it's kinda weird. Personally I think I get faster internet than my dad's laptop which is connected directly to the cable.

Anyway..some updates. Hmm.. Well I think I've found a class that I'm not going to like- Typography. -.- It was either that or Photomedia. I would have chosen photomedia except I knew I'd need a good camera (and guess what? all the photomed students need to buy an SLR camera!) so I chose typography. I thought it would have it's uses, which would give me a chance to practice and hone my design skills which need a lot of work.
In total, I have around 8 projects for this class- 4 mini ones and 4 major ones. That really sucks. And also, I don't really have closer friends in the class which is a major bummer. There are people I know, but they don't know each other, so I kinda have to stick with one or the other if you know what I mean. :/

So yesterday I went to see Inception. How awesome is it?? There are only a few things I didn't get, like for one, how did they enter another person's dream? Was it because of that tubey thing that sedated them? And who's dream was who's? I think that confused me the most. And the ending.. what a cliffhanger. Lol everyone in the cinema was like AWWWWWWW.... haha.XD
Oh oh and do people ever laugh when they know something funny is coming up? I always laugh because I know what's going to happen, and then everyone else starts laughing after I've finished... It's like when your watching those sitcoms or something, with that laughing in the bg..

Yesterday I had an awesome class. MMD1302. Basically we get to create a story with the whole works (world, characters, plot etc) so that it could be turned into a game/website/animation or anything. We were told it was going to end up being an animation, except my mind is set on turning it into a game >.< My group came up with a few ideas, but I'm thinking it might be a bit complicated and a bit full on. So, I was wondering if any of you guys had an suggestions?

---

Another thing- it seems this virus I still have on my computer tried to hack into my facebook account, and my internet is capped (I'm in the ivanhoe library) so I can't really do too much.:/ None of my antivirus programs can detect it, even in safe mode. My laptop is slower than usual, and the only thing I can tell the virus is doing is that it can some how access internet explorer(iexplore.exe) even though I keep ending the process. Janet, any suggestions?

First day back at uni. Annoyed at the fact that I actually had class even though it stated on allocate+ that there were no classes; which ruined my plans. I had a 4hr break, which meant I had no lunch. So I ended up going back to my parent's shop just to eat lunch and then headed back. -.- But another depressing thing is that I don't have other friends to hang out with now because of them being in a different course and all.
One thing I liked about today was that I got to finally use Maya! First time! Gosh it's so confusing, all the different tools etc. and being told not to take notes doesn't help me take in everything. And it's kinda hard to understand the teacher when she doesn't speak english that well, and speaks a mile a minute. But I've always wanted to be able to make 3D stuff, and it's pretty cool what you can do. I made a pencil, although at some point I stuffed up the top of it so it went over the edges- BUT- I thought it was pretty cool that I could do that. Hehehe.>.<
But there is a downfall with this unit- I won't be able to work at home. :/ Supposedly they have a different copy of Maya from the personal version or something, which means, if your caught, you can get fined $100,000 and the teacher goes to jail. Sheesh. I think it's alright if I use it for the exercises, but I don't think I'll risk it for the projects:/

Fricking annoyed at the moment. And to top it off, I have some bloody adware/virus on my laptop that plays advertisements in the background. Been trying to get rid of it with no luck...sifj;aosiefjuaweoirfjuaw'pe turfdl kjfg;aowejf

I seriously think I have insomnia. I can't get to sleep properly, I keep waking up during the night; I don't know what's causing it. I'm just lying in bed tossing and turning trying to sleep, but my eyes are wide open just staring into the dark. How long does insomnia last for? Hopefully soon.. I don't think I can think clearly anymore..

I think I might finally be running out of things to say... if I did have something to say, I'd just be repeating myself.

Just found a folder that happened to have a collection of images which I totally forgot I had. Now I have to go sort them out.. it's gonna take a while.

You know, I'm kinda excited to be going back to uni soon. I've felt that the first semester didn't count because majority of the units had nothing to do with my course. So it feels like I'm about to officially start uni. I'm just hoping I won't hate it or find it difficult:/
So if anyone wants to know my uni timetable- here it is:

*Tuesday- Lecture 10am (1hr)
- Comp Lab 1pm (3hr)
*Wednesday- Lecture 9am (2hr)
- Studio 2pm (4hr)
*Friday- Comp Lab 10am (2hr)
- Studio 2pm (4hr)

At least I get an extra day free:D But I'm going to be so tired on Wednesdays and Fridays...argh.

lololol vegetables committing suicide?!

Also like to add- i love castiel XD such an awesome character, and the guy playing him, misha collins. Haha he just makes me laugh whenever he's on screen.

Yay for buying artsy stuff from arts and riot!!XD There's a sale on right now so if you want anything, now's the time to go!

Seriously, what are the odds of me getting a teacup today? Which just happens to be the day AFTER the tea party??

Scratch that, it's back on. Sheesh.

Since no one replied because they're too busy, I've decided this week we won't have the session.

Next session on wednesday- yes or no?

I want to see the Tim Burton exhibition...

Just so it's clear, the session is tomorrow. Unless most of you guys can't make it, I'll reschedule. So I guess be prepared to change your plans?:S But I think everyone can make it..?

In regards to the next session, I'm opting for it to be sometime this week perhaps? Please give me input as to when though, seeing as I don't know everyone's availability. Also I think Phoebe isn't available on Thursday and Friday so sometime within the first week. If not, then the week after.

I should stop posting on facebook... I look like I'm talking to myself half the time..

Ahhhh.... everyone's busy again... no one's online again. Soo bored.....

Yesterday I visited my uni friend in Geelong. An hour trip on a vline train. First time on a vline. I ended up with people who sat in front of my seat when there were clearly other seats available, and talked the whole way through. >:( I normally wouldn't mind except I didn't fall asleep till 2pm, and had to wake up 5:25am so I needed the sleep.
When I reached Geelong, my friend also invited her other friend who was really nice :D We ended up walking around the shopping centres, and everything is cheap in Geelong! I didn't buy anything though:P
Well we ended up walking everywhere and eating chips at a beach.. and visiting a botanical garden.. overall I was very tired near the end of the day-.-
And get this, when I took the train back, the same group of people boarded it!! Can you believe it?? They talked the whole way through yet again! I did manage to doze off a bit, although a bit paranoid that someone was watching me..

Can I just say that applying for an adult passport is such a pain in the butt? This is why I need a driver's license... And I need to find a guarantor..

Okay, I need to redo my layout but I really can't be bothered right now. So please forgive me and put up with this horrendous mess.

I had fun guys:D
Except you guys don't eat enough. Or I eat too much. What on earth do you guys eat?? Did you like the cheese and tomato scrolls? If you do, I can make it again next time. If not, tell me what. You make me feel awkward eating all the food //-.-//

Is this not awesome??

I'm just as bored as you are. Sue me.

OMG! YAY! It's been announced that there are two new games for KH!!! XDXD Well, one isn't really new because it's just a remake of the coded ver. that's only available in japan for phones. But the other one is called Kingdom Hearts 3D, basically has something to do with sora and riku... and Nomura does plan to make a kh3 except says it's not the right time yet... Well at least I have birth by sleep to look forward to..XD


oh yeah, the 3D title will be released on the new nds... called 3DS. Basically when your playing games you can see it in 3D (without the glasses!bonus!). And it can also take photos in 3D..pretty cool..

So I cleaned my room. Took like.. 20 minutes? It was mainly the clothes strewn across my chair and all the books I borrowed.. and the paper I used for my last project. So, as you can see, I've changed my profile. Definitely not creative, using one of those preset things, but I can't be bothered. Despite not having any homework or anything, you'd think I'd be a bit more productive. :/

Well I did finish watching the last 40 minutes of the last episode of my lucky star. Something that I've always hated: those extras who can't act. They totally ruin the whole atmosphere for me. For example, the main characters were celebrating the fact that they won a competition that was judged by normal people; these normal people just stand there watching the main characters talk, which no normal person would do in such a situation. They would at least look a bit confused as to what was happening to the opponent and such wouldn't they? And how could they have whole heartedly accept the main character? When she went out into the audience to show the ring, and that girl was just standing there and just spewed out the dialogue... GO LEARN HOW TO ACT!
Sorry if that didn't make any sense at all^^"

Ah hem... So I was thinking maybe next Tuesday around 10-4pm? I don't know if that's too early for you guys, but I kinda just wanted to get most out of the day, or else it would mean alot of sessions.-.-"
So what we've got planned I think? :
* watching Code Geass
* playing FFXIII ( i haven't started cauz I thought you guys might like to see it for yourself :P)
* anything else you want to do

Just to let you know, food can sometimes be scarce at my house, so if you like, bring some munchies or anything, or you can eat what my gran makes-.-" she's made these things called zhong zi (janet you should know what they are!) basically they're sticky rice with pork and green beans and other stuff...

Yeah so I think that's all I have to say..

My room is still messy from my last assignment... I feel so guilty but I really can't be bothered. Maybe I'll clean it tomorrow...no I WILL clean it tomorrow.
Anyway I was wondering, what day would you guys like to come over next week? That is the week when you finish your exam right?

Awesomeness

This post will be a reflection of the last 3 days, so it's going to be quite a long entry. But for some of you, you will be excited for me on the last day (today). Oh and sorry for the whole structure of this post, my head is kinda out of it today..

On Friday, I basically stayed at home all day working on my folio, which i finished on time, but didn't submit on time D:D: My internet was stuffing up again (it's always been a problem, but using this as an excuse seems like a bad one). I tried to get my dad to drive me to maccas to get free wifi, except he wouldn't. >:(So now it's definitely submitted late. I spent an hour and half after 12am trying to submit it still, but obviously it didn't work.

So on Saturday, I had to wake up at 8am and leave, because my parents and I were going to a Japanese buffet with some co workers. We went grocery shopping then went to the shop to wait for them. We then went to the restaurant for the buffet. It was quite a run down place, but price wise, the buffet was worth it. 28 bucks per person which included oysters, and a lot of hot food dishes, and this really, really nice salad. It was real funny though, cauz one of the co workers kept asking for more salad, so we ended up ordering 6 bowls of salad for 8 people XDI ended up being extremely bloated, but thought that I ate my $28 share XD (that's one reason why my parents wouldn't let my sisters come haha)

Around that time, I decided to get my sister to try sending my folio for me, which took forever because she had trouble opening my laptop-.- I admit, it's difficult for people who aren't patient. It was only when I headed back to Fed Square with my friend that she finally sent it. I felt a kind of relief but sort of worried, because I thought maybe my teacher would think my sister's email was spam mail or something and delete it. Luckily I received an email today saying that he received it. :D So no more worrying.
I ended up walking around with my friend in the CBD, and ended up talking alot o.O Seriously, I'm not much of a talker, but she's so easy to talk to. We ended up in Melb Central after that, where we spotted this shop that had jewelery on sale. I'm not usually the type to go shopping, but recently I have kinda gotten into it. But anyway, the stuff there was amazingly cheap. 1 buck each for everything (nearly). Personally, I think that business must have gone out of business so they're trying to get rid of all their stock. :/ But fortunately for me, that meant things were cheap:D Got 9 things in totalXD After that, she treated me to some crepe (the one near the entrance of melbourne central) which turned out to be really good.

(Okay I'll just skip to today because I'm getting tired haha)

Okay, so today turned out to be quite a fruitful day to me. Went out for yum cha and ate heaps again (but i love yum cha food!!). Later went to box hill and got some nail polish because my dad gave my sisters and i money to spend. :P
Not enough though for me to buy a certain game..:P Later, when were about to leave, I pleaded with my mum to get the game. After alot of begging, she gave me the money.XD So guess who is the owner of ..FINAL FANTASY XIII?!?! ME!!!XDXD So guys, when you come over, you'll get a chance to see it!!!
Oh and after that, we went to kmart in northland to get me some boots XD I've always wanted some and now I've some!!

So to sum it all up, this week has been AWESOME!! YAY HOLIDAYS HERE I COME!!! XDXXD
RAH i wanna sleep.

RAH RAH AH AH AH

Did that make you sing the song outloud?

So, right now I'm in bed keeping warm, watching dramas while drawing. I still need about 30 or so drawings, and honestly, I don't think I'll be able to make it. No matter. I know other classes who haven't even done any daily drawings, so I think I should be fine.
Well I'm extremely happy that I got to hand in my design folio. I won't ever have to make stupid models again!! I was actually excited at the start for the unit, but as we progressed, it just got unbearable.

Y'know, I think I have changed. I think it's a good thing. Believe it or not, but I don't think I really hate hugs or taking photos- it's just me being uncomfortable with myself and feel socially awkward. This year so far has come with the good and the bad surprises, but I think it's probably going to be one of the happier years that I will remember.

3327 stars.

Can anyone tell that I've been somewhat restless the past few days? Probably not. I just really want to get my folios over and done with except I'm feeling really uninspired for my studio work. It's my worst unit out of all my other units D: I think I've mentioned this before, but it's because of my final presentation needing finessing or my folio book not having enough references >:( Gosh, I thought this kinda stuff should be testing our imaginations or something, not being able to copy some other person's ideas!!! Why on earth do I need to have some sort of inspiration to come up with an idea? Can't it just come from my own creativity and just make the damn thing?? God this is why I hated vis com. Too many research and development of ideas for my liking.
I really want the hols to start now. I want to start checking out these drawing books I've borrowed from the library, watch some stuff and of course catch up with friends. But nothing will happen till next week is over unfortunately. Oh and I really really really really want to clean my room. So much clutter and ...stuff. God that's gotta be my favourite word.

You know, I think I smile too much when I talk. It seriously bugs me. It's like I'm forced to smile or something when talking to people. Or when I laugh. You know when your laughing, but then feel like stopping but don't because everyone else is still laughing? So I end up fake laughing but think that I'm being way to obvious about it.
Lol.
Well guess what? Today I got my new bed!! Yay!! If you didn't know, since last year, I've been sleeping on a mattress. My old one broke because it was about the same age as me and the steel frame kinda rusted..( i stuck it together with some weird sticky stuff). So now I've got this new bed that's made with vinyl so it's like those fancy sofas; and it has a drawer! That will be useful I'm sure. Now I've just gotta clean up the rest of my room and hope my dad will get around building me a bookshelf:D Haha.

Something you might not know about me. I like watching TW-dramas. Or any kind of asian dramas really. Started off just watching anime, but then branched off into dramas ever since Janet lent me It started with a kiss. (curse you Janet!! lol only kidding. but not reallyXD)
Admittedly, a lot of it is quite soppy and predictable, but I that's what I love about it. Really brings back that nostalgic feel from watching alot of HK dramas. Seriously, hk dramas are so predictable, and they always spoil everything in the openings and previews.
Reason why I even brought this up is because I've been watching a new drama called My Lucky Star. I planned on watching it a long time ago, except never got the chance to dl it. But then I found out it had Jimmy Lin in it so I dled it!! XD Omg he never ages! He looks just as young as he was when he was 17!

On another note..OMG SHIRLEY JUST DIED!! NOOO poor Lulu is all sad again.D,: I need the rest of the episodes now!! But my internet is slow......COME ON 12am!!! Hurry up and be a new day!!
Okay I think I'm done for today:P

Blackswirl_profile

You are black! You are probably an introverted, indifferent sort of person. You aren't necessarily emo or really hateful, though you can be. You just aren't bubbly and happy all the time like yellows, oranges, and pinks. In fact, you probably have a hard time putting up with people who ARE happy all of the time. You are probably intelligent and artistic, and maybe a little bit of a loner. You do have friends, you just don't mind being alone. Gives you time to think. You are a little blunt, and you usually tell it like it is. You are classy, and simplicity goes a long way with you. You can be a little off-beat, your interests may not go with "the norm". As for your friends, you love them deeply. You may not have many close friends, but you choose them carefully. You are incredibly loyal to your friends, and they know they can count on you. You'd do just about anything for them, and they know it. You probably don't show your feelings so much, but you do have feelings. Deep ones, too. You feel things deeply, and you can be passionate - you just don't show it. Your sense of humor is probably a little dark, but you do love to laugh. You can be totally crazy when you open up, but you rarely do. You, in a nutshell: Classy, introverted, loyal, a bit of a loner, unique, edgy, deep, artistic, crazy (rarely), intelligent. BLACK!

I think that described me pretty well.

I am so close to finishing this semester!! Just two more weeks of work and I'm finished!! So, I have this computer folio I have to finish- two more projects and then compiling all my previous works into a folio, preparation for the slide test next week, daily drawing homework (I'm meant to have like, 100 pics (15min at least) but I've only done.. maybe 30?? So screwed.) , and finally my most hated assignment, studio work. I have to select 3 spaces within my uni and put them together to create something different that represents my 'journey'. There is nothing to talk about my 'journey'. It's not like its been any different from school really, and if I do have some sort of feeling, I have no idea how to describe it. Uni's just meh. And it's probably my lowest scoring unit compared to everything else. It's like vis com, all over again except with a class full of people who create stuff that could even be considered top arts design quality :/ So depressing. Well thank god it's got nothing to do with my course. Okay now I shall leave to go to sleep. Watching 'Blades of Glory' is something I don't want to be doing.

God I hate my sister, why does she have to be such a..snob?? She's changed so much- some days she's tolerable but other days it's just absolute hell with her. I wish I went to Doncaster instead, at least that way she wouldn't have turned out the way she has. She's way to easily influenced by others and that seriously has put her off track. Even the way she dresses just peeves me. On the coldest days, she would wear that stupid short sports skirt. WTH. Why on earth would you wear that on a cold day??? Is it really necessary to dress like those yr 9s?? And she's always moody and yelling at people to get out of her room or whatnot. Yeah that may seem like a typical teenage thing to do but seriously, she just ruins everybody's mood. Yeah, she's been through a lot, but because of her, I've had to face things that I'd never thought in my wildest dreams that I'd ever have to face. She's not only ungrateful to how hard our parents work to give her a good education, but she gives everyone at home such a hard time. She's a bloody selfish brat.

at the moment i'm at uni, waiting for my 9am drawing class to start. I'm blogging from my phone at the moment because i have nothing else to do. Anyway, this morning i finished my essay:D i finished at 2 so i only got about 3hrs sleep. Due to lack of sleep, one of my eyes is being demented so i have one normal eye and one demented:/ so i finished the essay, but i honestly think it sucks. I don''t think i was able to express my iwn views enough. Well okay i just leave it at that- heading off to class now.

You know when your on public transport and you spot someone you know? Do you go automatically towards them or pretend you don't notice them? I usually do the latter, partly because I find it really awkward to talk on public transport. And usually those are the times when I actually have time to just zone out and not think about anything... I sometimes feel bad when I catch someone's eye but pretend I can't see them because I just want some time for myself. Just to let you know, it doesn't mean I hate you or anything- just want to be by myself for a while.

I want to go into hibernation.. so sleepy... so cold..

Don't you just hate it when you end up doing nothing on the internet, going back and forth on various sites? I could be doing something constructive but I'm still so full from the big lunch today...

So today, I was just being a bum around the house. I just happened to clean the whole house an hour ago because someone's coming over tomorrow. Actually, I happened to look through all my old schoolwork because I wanted to do a bit of spring cleaning in my room. I looked at some of the stuff I wrote; I can't believe I wrote some of the stuff. :/ But I saw some of the most ridiculous looking drawings ever. I seriously can't believe I was that bad. I will upload a pic of a drawing I did of an 'angry jesus' as my facebook picture. >.< Seriously, I thought it was hilarious.
So besides that, today I also discussed the matter about me going back to China this year.....YAY!! I'm seriously excited! I haven't been back for nearly 10 years perhaps? I don't know why but I think I feel deprived of my chinese culture or something-.-" Because we uni students finish real early in the year, I was hoping to stay longer if possible but decided against it seeing as it would be awkward to talk to my relatives who probably won't understand any english. Hoping to go back with my sister near the start of December to Shanghai first, and spend the few weeks there till the rest of the family gets there. Then we'll travel back down to Guangzhou and Hong Kong and spend the remaining month or two there. Problem is, my sister has to go back to school before Febraury so I might have to go back with her. :( I seriously need a long holiday- been so many years since I've actually travelled a fair distance from Melbourne. Last holiday I went to Warnnambool which was kinda boring, and before that, it was Queensland, back in yr 7 or 8?
Another thing I have to get off my chest- I hate Jessica Watson. Seriously, this morning, I was watching saturday morning shows and then after they finished, every, single channel had a stupid program dedicated to her.-.- And what Kevin Rudd said on behalf of all Australians about her being a hero or something, that does not include me. Her being a school drop out to travel around the world to create headlines for herself is not what I call a hero. Yes, what she did may be commended, but the fact that the media has blown it out of control really.. annoys me!! I don't think she deserves that much attention! On the news after her story, there was a story about a girl who saved the lives of a family after seeing their house on fire. Is it because these kind of stories are heard so often that they've lost their impact? They still deserve more attention than a story about a girl who travels around the world in a boat. Gah. Ok that's enough for today.. -.-

Hahahahah!!! I have Adobe Master collection CS5!!! Can't wait to try it out...

I wonder what makes me 'cute'?

Do I seem like the good girl type? When I think about it, I don't do alot of things that other people do. Drinking, smoking, partying, being able to drive, have a boyfriend, go out with friends all the timeetc.- these are the things that many people do, is it not? I'm not a conformist so I wouldn't do all those things because of peer pressure or anything, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to do those things. It's the image of being an adult that draws me in. I get the impression that everyone around me seems to do this kinda of stuff and it kind of puts me off. I've never really been into that whole social scene because it all seems fake to me, and people just spend their time getting wasted and talk about nothing in particular. It's not like I don't get along with people, it's just that because I don't go out as much, I'm usually clueless about what's happening around me.

And another thing- I hate it when there are things that I don't know, like general knowledge or something, and I'm left embarassed because I never knew about it. It's not my fault that I never learnt that- I feel sometimes because of my background and being the oldest, I've missed out on alot of things in life. I've always felt responsible for everything around me, and I try to set a good example to my sisters (unfortunately, that has failed miserably), always anxious and worrying about every little thing despite appearing having no interest, and I take everything to heart even if it is said jokingly. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. I feel like I'm on repeat, having repeated all these thoughts in my head for a long time..

Please finish in time... rahhh

I feel like a fraud.

Hmm... what to say? I just wanted to type. No one really visits anymore, or at least not often. I'm bored. I hate how I have to read messages on FB just to find out what's going on or whatever- makes me feel sneaky and reading other peoples p.m's, but what else is there for me to do? It's not like people go to the trouble of talking to me on FB. It'd be nice once in a while to get other people messaging me instead of the other way around. Or not getting replies when your expecting them. I nearly always end up being the last one to say anything in a convo. God I hate FB, but what else is there to go on nowadays? The only place I know where people go on would be FB, unless there is some other website I'm missing out on? I guess it doesn't matter either way, I've got alot going on in my life as it is so I'll just try keeping myself busy till the end of the semester.

I'm so cold right now... But there's sun outside!! Why isn't it warm inside?? Stupid house that needs insulation... lol Peter Garett. Well right now I'm working on this collage for drawing class. Basically gotta make an A1 sized collage of some still life objects- the drawing of it turned out okay but the collaging part is sucking real bad. It just goes to show how uncreative I am when it comes to making things.
But before today, my sisters and I (yay for grammar!!haha) made little charms with air dry clay and painted them. :D I've been meaning to do it for a while, except I couldn't find a glaze that allowed it to be air dry instead of the oven kind which put me off for a while. But anyway, I made a total of 7 things. A cat head, yellow onigiri with the face of edward elric, a penguin, totoro, raindrop, mushroom and a pair of random square shapes with faces on them. XD I think with practice, they could turn out alot better. I'm just having trouble with all the small details and finessing (is that a word?) but overall it looks nice I think. Should invite people over to come and join me next time :P

Things I Hate

1. The waiting game. Probably spent half of my life waiting by myself.
2. Remembering embarrassing moments and cringing at the thought.
3. Spending so much money on materials for uni.
4. Waking up early in the morning just as if I was back at school. And getting less sleep.
5. Deciding what to wear everyday.
6. Finding out that my mp3 didn't charge properly the night before and it dies during the middle of the day.
7. Those awkward moments when your with a person you don't really know, but you can't really ignore them so it's like a stop and go traffic light thing.
8. Drawing classes!! The teacher is giving us so much bloody work compared to the other classes who don't even have homework, and she's set an assignment for us.
9. Having nothing to do during the long breaks except go to the library, comp lab or just the grounds.
10. Doubting myself and comparing myself to others.
11. Feeling lost and confused, and not knowing what's going to happen after all this drama..

Wondering why Australians don't like recycled water. Wouldn't that be a better solution to the drought instead of desalination? Desalination is going to cost a lot more which won't do our economy any good. I think we should separate the recycled water from the fresh water so that fresh water can be used for drinking, cooking etc. while the recycled water could be used for watering the garden, washing clothes etc..

...anyway I gotta do my drawing homework..

Am I being filmed? I feel like I've just stepped out of a tv drama or something- all these bad things just keep happening. I wish I could talk to someone about it except I can't- I'm forced to keep everything locked up inside. Having been forced straight into something I was not prepared for, and having to find a way to keep a person see reason. There are so many things that are happening, and time going by faster doesn't help. I just want to stop time and go back to the way things were before- just a few years back and none of this would ever had happen.

I was just thinking, is there something wrong with me? I'm right handed, so you'd think that anything I'd do, I'd use my right hand for it. For example, playing the guitar, I felt more comfortable holding it the other way around instead of the other way. Or the flute. And I've noticed other things like people wearing their bags on the other side and stuff. Deep down inside, am I a lefty?



... yes I am insane.

Ok.. I thought I had something to post but I forgot.-.-"


............


Yeah I think I really did forget... Oh well maybe next time then.

Lesson 1:

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor.

Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel, "

After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.

The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"

"It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies.

"Great," the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"

Moral of the story:

If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.



Lesson 2:

A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.

The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.

The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.

The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"

The priest apologized "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak."

Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.

On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129

It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."

Moral of the story:

If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.



Lesson 3:

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.

They rub it and a Genie comes out.

The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish."

"Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world."

Puff! She's gone.

"Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life."

Puff! He's gone.

"OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.

The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."

Moral of the story:

Always let your boss have the first say.



Lesson 4

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.

A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?"

The eagle answered: "Sure , why not."

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested.

All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:

To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.



Lesson 5

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."

"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.

Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story:

BullSh*t might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Lesson 6

A little bird was flying south for the Winter.

It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.

As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.

The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.

Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Morals of the story:

(1) Not everyone who sh*ts on you is your enemy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of sh*t is your friend.

(3) And when you're in deep sh*t, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

---------------------

Lately I feel like everyone's disappeared from the internet. Does everyone seriously just party everyday or something? How on earth do they have the time? It's also hard to get a reply from people nowadays. No one ever seems to answer my questions, is it that fun to leave me hanging and still wondering? I hate it when people do that. People always seem to do that to me. If you don't want to answer or something, just say that. Don't leave me feeling ignored. GAhh!!
Well I hope to see everyone tomorrow then.. sort of looking forward to it.

Something really random here... I was just wondering what type of face I have. I mean, is my face the kind that is just part of the crowd or one that you can easily spot? You know how you see people in places, and you think of them just as part of the crowd, but then there are those that leave a deeper impression on you because of some unique feature or whatnot. Personally, I'd like to think that I'm just like everyone else and that I don't stand out much and rather be the one observing than be observed. Just like my drawing teacher said, as artists we like to observe people and things so if I don't stand out, people won't notice me staring. :P Haha.. you know those awkward moments when you catch someone's eye if they're staring at you or you staring at them? God I break eye contact as soon as that happens and usually don't look in that direction again >.< On another note, I'm looking forward to the picnic and hoping to see everyone there. There might be a chance of rain but hopefully that'll happen later in the evening.

Yesterday I went out with some of my new friends who I actually just recently met (like like week and this wednesday) to participate in a treasure hunt organized by the anime club and malaysian club. Starting around 10:45am, my group started running around frantically with no clue as to where to find the hidden boxes that would lead to our next clue. We then realised that on the paper that they gave us, there were hidden messages with different locations. He had alot of trouble finding one particular box, which was supposedly taken away by some cleaner which left everyone running around like headless chooks.

Next clue lead us to the Melbourne Museum where we had to find different things and take photos of them. I was seriously tired already, as I ran most of the time. When we finally finished, we headed to the next location, which was Flagstaff gardens. I HATE THE NEXT ACTIVITY SO MUCH!! When we arrived, we all had to face back to back, and then had our feet tied together so we had 6 legs ( like a 3 legged race except with 3 legs in front and 6 in the back). The string that they used totally cut into our feet which has resulted in serious bruising. Seriously, I haven't had such big bruises in years! So then there were 3 other minigames which were alright but nothing special.

We then headed to the 2nd last location which was the bridge thing in myers. This required more photo taking and heaps of running. What annoyed me the most was this one part where we had to find 3 eroded white chairs shaped like the no.3. I originally spotted 3 white chairs, but they weren't "eroded" or looked anything like the no.3 so we didn't take it. But apparently that was it!! we spent ages looking for it, running up and down lvl 2 and 3.

When we finished, we headed to the final location which was some place past big w where there is some fake green lawn. We knew we didn't come first out of the 25 teams competing, but we thought we did pretty well. In the end we came 11th and were given some nice tea. Did I mention that the prizes were a ds for every member who came first, a debit card for 2nd place and movie passes for 3rd?
When everyone finished, we headed to the state library lawn to give out the prizes.

Some really geeky looking guys (all westerners, not asian!)came to receive there first place. I didn't mind too much, overall, I had a pretty good time. What sucked was the participation prize, which was one free game at intencity and a coupon buy 2 get 1 free for gloria jeans which can only be used near caulfield. I'm never going to use them, which renders them useless. Does anyone want them? Will add a bonus $10 bonus game pass at intencity!
Overall it was a good day out, except now I'm aching all over and I can't move too much :/

Yesterday I got to play badminton for 2 hours!!:D:D It wasn't as fun as it could have been though, because I mainly played with my youngest sister, who isn't that great at it. My other sister couldn't come along because she's in pain because of shingles, and my dad left halfway through to get some work done. Well not that it matters now anyway. What I really wanted to say is that I was in a car crash yesterday. It was really sudden, totally unexpected. It wasn't that serious or anything, just a big jolt. I kinda lurched forward because of the impact and my heart felt as if it collided into my chest. But good thing is that it wasn't my dad's fault. Supposedly this guy had tried to do a u-turn when your not supposed to, and my dad was in a slip lane (I think that's what you call it?) so it couldn't have been my dad's fault. Really glad though. Honestly don't think my parents need another financial burden because of some idiot's driving.

I've been meaning to post something for a while, but haven't had the time or too tired to. Uni has been getting better, things are getting busier. The only reason why I am posting is because I'm procrastinating- too much homework. I need to write 1000 word comparative essay due in two weeks, a triptych and a mandala due next week, and daily drawing exercises... I've started on all of them except the essay because I fail at writing. I've made quite a few friends, or rather met a lot of people, and I know all they're names :D So far my brain hasn't failed me in memorizing names>.< I wish I kinda knew the people I was with in O-week though because they seemed like a lot of fun, except I was being quite shy and unsociable so I didn't talk as much till the last few days. *face palm* Somehow I ended up making friends with a lot of asians though-.- Not on purpose though. Not that I hate asians or anything. Just that I don't get to mingle much I guess. I my school friends:( I wonder when will I see them next time...

Well time to get back to work.

It's amazing how fast you can lose contact with people...rather I feel as if I'm being avoided... Makes me wonder what is real and what isn't...

Awww I really can't change my lectures and such around... I'm stuck with going to uni everyday...

Nearly the end of the first official week... Will post stuff regarding O-week at the end of this week.

I hate all this pressure and responsibility... one wrong move and it's all over.

This is one reason why I don't answer phones in the daytime. My gran answered the phone, and it was some dude talking about government rebate something ceiling. She gave me the bloody phone and I had to listen to this guy with a heavy indian accent on a broken telephone line. It kept crackling in the background and it didn't help that I couldn't hear a thing he said. I kept saying that I wasn't old enough or a couldn't take this call on behalf of my parents, and he kept saying it doesn't matter. Also whenever I answered a question he said perfect. Creeped me out. Said that he was going to call back tomorrow to talk about some sort of meeting about the ceiling? Yeah, I'm not gonna answer the phone...

Next week is orientation week!! wahh I feel like I'm starting high school again!

Grandma came back today:P Lots of new stuff:D Makes me want to go back to China real bad. I don't want to start uni so soon, despite the fact that we've had an extremely long holiday. But I'm scared as to what I should expect. I'm thinking that I might not be able to catch up to lectures or something. I hope not. Should somehow record it just in case..

Now my gran isn't come back today... my parents said that her Visa expired. Now all my efforts to clean the house have been wasted! It won't take too long before my family messes it up. They are so inconsiderate.

I'm gonna miss sharing our lunches together..

crap crap crap I forgot!!! I didn't know I had to hand in the art kits' form!! It was due Friday!! WTH they should give us more time dammit! I wonder if I can go there directly or not..

Things are getting busy again. Now I have to pick my gran up from the airport! It's gonna be so awkward in the car because the lady who bought my parents shop is taking me there. I've only met her once, so I'm guessing I'll have to speak chinese. I'm also worried about which gate to wait at and whatnot, because usually I'm with the whole family so I just follow. Is this a level up in responsibility or something?
Anyway, I don't think I'll be having a get together soon...I'm getting a bit overwhelmed with all this stuff that has been thrown at me..

No second round offers for me. To be honest, I didn't expect one. I'm not sure if I mind too much or not. I originally wanted to get into RMIT no matter what but maybe it was a good thing I didn't get in? Technically, I think, Monash does seem to offer a wider range of things for me to learn, instead of just learning things for a specific job or whatever. I'm thinking this would mean me seeing friends a lot less though, and would be a lot of hassle to travel to. I guess this would be a good opportunity for me to rely on no one but myself, and hopefully build up my own confidence level. Well all I need to do is make some friends D: Oh god please let me make some friends!!!hahaha..
Well, we'll still meet up sometime though won't we? I don't want to lose our friendship over the past few years...

I Hate being an Adult

It sucks. It's my sister's bill, why can't she solve the problem herself?? I have no idea what I'm doing, it's not like I learnt it in school. They really should have taught us stuff like that as a compulsory subject. People like me have no clue as to what's the first step into paying a bill or buying a house or figuring stuff out about uni. They should give us a manual guide to show us how to live life.

Noooo I have to start taking my sister to school again!:( Such a pain. Yesterday when we were walking about the hill to the bus stop, they were doing some sort of maintenance work. Kinda awkward because we ended up walking onto the road and wondering if the bus could even stop at all. Then when I was walking back, I saw a little path they left for pedestrians-.-"
So, next week my grandma comes back. This means another full on cleaning of the house by myself again. Why can't anyone help out instead of complaining that I don't do anything at home? So ungrateful. I've tried to not clean before, except no one seems to care. I wonder how they would live if my grandma or I weren't here. The house would be a pigsty.
I was wondering if I should invite some friends over before gran comes back. Don't know what to do though, so give me some suggestions.

Bookmarks

...I have too many. Dear god soo many bookmarks. It's gonna take me forever to sort through them.

(sorry if this doesn't make sense,just ignore)

Don't know if it's because of the recent flood of birthday parties, but I was wondering what I would do if I had a party. My dad did offer that I could hold a party, except me being lazy, I can't be bothered organizing it.^.^' But I had ideas of what I'd do though..
Well, I wouldn't do one of those standing around parties because I'd get bored myself and would have to mingle too much.. so it would be like those parties I guess you would have when your younger hwere you play games and stuff.
I'd separate our friendship group into two teams- as a team you would have earn points to beat the others. You'd have to elect a member of the team to participate in a challenge. To get points..hmm... I think I'd start with a trivia maybe or one of those buzz with your name games- if you answer wrong you have to eat sushi with wasabi as a punishment, then a karaoke with singstar..then some sort of billiard round. Hmm..other games: there was this one in China I remember playing, there is a room full of balloons and you have to pop them all and collect the little mouth pieces. If is a hot day, maybe some pool challenge where you have to collect something and swim back. And then the winning team will get some sort of prize, while the losing team will get some participation thing or something. After that, we could just sit around talking or watch a movie.. Yeah. Does any of this make any sense??? Hmm... maybe I should have a party or maybe I shouldn't.. I kinda don't want my family hovering too much though. So embarrassing..
And my grandma is coming back in two weeks!!!!At the moment, I can't say I hate her that much, because things have become a lot peaceful with her gone. It could be the fact that I don't have the same stress when being in Yr 12 and her constant complaining. I'm kinda anticipating if things will go back to how they were before she left, or will things remain the same. I'm hoping for the latter. Sigh....

Disabling 3G

Okay, so yesterday my parents got my phone bill. Supposedly I exceeded my plan or something which ended up being a bit expensive. The thing is, it wasn't my fault. On the bill it said something about my internet usage, or 'packet data' being over the limit. I've only ever used WLAN or so I thought. Being paranoid, I turned off my phone to prevent anymore internet usage without me knowing till I found out the cause of the problem. Anyway, this morning I woke up being peeved because stupid Nokia decided to make us spend more $. I think I found the problem- 3G. The stupid thing has been draining my batteries and using the internet without my knowledge!! Grrr. So anyway, I think I've managed to delete it after one hour of searching on google with no luck. Now I'm just waiting for the next phone bill. (Oh and my sis racked up an even higher bill than me- about double I think? No idea what her problem is though)

Little Swallow

Anyone heard of the nursery rhyme? I just found out that there was a second verse, and a rather depressing one actually.
An english translation of it:

Little swallow, dressed colorfully,
Comes here every spring,
I asked her, "Why do you come here?"
She said, "The spring here is the most beautiful."

Little swallow, let me tell you,
It's more beautiful here this year.
We've built large factories,
And equipped new machines,
Please live here forever.

Yeah anyway, this was mainly because of this flash I saw..

So today I went to the course information session. I arrived around 20 minutes early, but there were already heaps of people there. Was kinda awkward so I just sat there and stared at a wall. When they were about to begin I spotted Steph, thank god. When I collected my booklet from the pile, there were hardly any people taking up my course. That's so depressing. So basically the info session was a basic run down of all the stuff I've already been through on their site-how to enrol, what courses etc.
Overall I'm not looking forward to having to travel in unfamiliar territory, but I could get used to it.
Anyway, I just finished enrolling into the courses because my mum found my TFN. And my passport. Omg I'm such an ugly kid. That picture was from way back, I wonder if it'll be good enough for my ID?
