- Endlessness -

Days and days and days. Don't you just hate it when you get woken up from a good dream? 'Cos it just so happened to me. My boss decided to wake me up at 8.45, while I was still sleeping =( . I only agreed up 'cos I said he could abuse my shifts in return for one Saturday off for my friend's birthday party, which turned out to be... interesting. Anyways, that meant I had to cancel my day out with Caroline and Noelle. But hey! They came down for lunch(ish) anyways, with Mich. How nice of them. Hahaha..sorry guys...I'm not sure if I'm being sarcastic or not.
I also got another interesting visitor/customer which I regret to say I was a bit rude to. I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to be...you took me by surprise since I haven't seen you in a while.
After work, the guys came back for me ( >_<) and the day was quite over already. They got shopping done *cries* I want shopping.

Everybody is leaving Perth for somewhere exciting. Have fun guys. Actually I don't mean it 'cos I'm ever so envious.

Bah. That's enough for the day.

+someone needs to take me to those places with loud music so i can cry my sorrows away

- Blue skyes and Rainy days -

Post exam trauma: semi-boredomness. What to do, what to do. I have rooms to clean and things to organise, but they don't seem to be happening. Four weeks hey, that'll be gone in a blast.

I actually don't feel like blogging today.

Apologies to Sarah and co., I'm really sorry I didn't make it, Sarah I called you later 'cos I went with my mum just to see if you guys were around, but nevermind I guess. Mi-ahn-e !

- YES! -

Exams are finally over!!!!!!!
Ecstatic as hell. So excited that I went to play badminton straight after. Well actually some work guys organised a badminton session, so I decided to head over, since I had at last finished my exams. Wasn't so bad by the way. Didn't play for very long and didn't try as hard 'cos I don't seem to be hurting all over.
Now that it's holidays, I don't know where to start, what to do first, who to call. Maybe I should start cleaning the whole house of my crap, of all the loose pieces of paper left around the house when I was 'studying'.....an burn them.

I need more shoes. I need a pair of sneakers now, since I have accomplished my Converse hunt (*shines*). Also compelled to get some Keds, after that little blog topic I did for Communications. This is for the people who love their fashion:

It's quite good I guess.

Look what I found:

- Flying away -

I'm in such a blue mood..
I just finished exam number one!!

Started off like such a dodgy day. I woke up on time with my four alarms set at 6.20, 6.35, 6.40 and 6.45..prepared I say! Anyways.. I was all prepared and calculated exactly what time to walk to the bus stop since its like f-f-freezing cold in the morning...BUT the bus left. The first frickin' time I missed the bus, and I have an exam!!
So like I ran home to drive down to uni, hoping I wouldn't get stuck in peak hour traffic.
Driving means no last minute cramming...I was reading in the car..quite dangerous. Not like it helped or anything.
And the exam? It was devastatingly horrible. I don't think I answered anything with 100% positive attitude...most of the time was, omfg two hours to do all this?!? Well, I tried to finish as fast as I could so I could get outta there as fast as I could. Happi-nesses that it's all over. I'm a bit more relaxed for tomorrows.

I have 120 Flybuy points. How slow and sad.

My great-uncle just passed away at a very old age. I didn't know him too well. Rest in peace dear great uncle. Makes you think about the wonders of young age. Live well peoples.

I have a story to tell..I wonder if I should tell it.
Last night when we were all eating dinner, it was me and my bro left at the table and mum was telling us to hurry up 'cos she wanted to wash the dishes. Then my bro says,
"Leave it to jie, she'll do it." So mum leaves it and she threatened us that since he mentioned it, the dishes better get done, or else. My excuse has been the same for the last month or so,
"No no no, I have to study! Exams! Tomorrow! I'll do the dishes every day after my exams!" But mum had already walked off so it was between me and bro.
Me: "Loser! Do it! Ni kai jui jiang de!"
Bro: "Nuh, you're doing it, you're doing it! Nuh!" So I reach over to pinch him while he keeps swatting me away. Then after we're done eating, we put our dishes into the sink and he runs off.
Me: "Oi! I need to studyy! Go and wash the dishes!!"
Bro: "Nuh, you have to do it! Do it!" Then all of a sudden he puts his fists up, like he's ready to fight.
Me: "Yeah? You wanna fight? I'll give you a fight!" And I run towards him, but he runs into the corrider and into his room. It was then that I realised what he was doing. Protecting his pillow. He hadn't done this in ages. When we were younger, everytime he pissed me off, I'd grab his pillow. But he was quite protective of his pillow and wouldn't let me near it. So I jump onto his bed and start slapping him on the face while he kept laughing and trying to push me off his bed.
"Say you'll wash! You do it! You do it! Say it!" By this time he's laughing so hard he can't talk properly.
Bro: "Stop it..my chest hurts, stop it!" I'm laughing furiously as well.
Me: "My back hurts! I have back pain!"
Bro: "Ok! Stop! Ok, I'll say it....you do the dishes!"
Me: *slap* "Just do itttt!!!" *slap*slap*slap*
Bro: " Okok, I'll do it. Stop." And in an instant, he stops laughing, gets off the bed and looks at me,
Bro: Ok, you can get off my bed now, and don't touch my pillow." But I just sat there, all the other times he'd stop playing and would literally drag me off his bed cos I'd be just sitting there cos I can't be assed getting off at that particular moment, and he would drag and push 'til I was on the floor. His mood changes real quickly and it kinda scares me. It made me wonder where all our youth has gone. Kids these days grow up too fast, they don't seem to want to enjoy the immaturity that they are entitled to. Their youth has died from the consumerism and media of today, and can only rely on the small sparks that will never produce fire, to remind them of what it used to be.

Later on, mum looked at me,
"Aren't you doing the dishes?"
Me: "Nuh, I won."

Sorry for the long post, once again.

- End of the world -

I shouldn't be blogging because I am way behind on my study and I have an exam tomorrow morning. But so many things have compelled me to post everything down.

Michelle's comments on books reminded me that I just finished 'Mao's last dancer' by Li CunXin (yes, just before I go to bed each night, which is probably the reason why I finish study early to 'go to bed'). Not surprisingly, it was such a good read. The length of the book tells you that you'll be going through the story of his life the way he lived it. All the ups and downs, you almost literally live it with him because of the way he portrays himself and the extent of description given. It's so good that, it almost gives you hope that you can be somebody too. But in reality, not everybody can be somebody. Most of us will be living life for ourselves and with our taken-for-granted lives, and will have no such motivation as he did to succeed in a world as the one we live in.
The book provided me with a deep self-reflection to realise that I once did have that spark to achieve goals that I thought were unachievable for myself. To have gotten where I wanted, two and a half years ago is still a shock for me that I can't even see where I had gotten my motivation from. To see the way I try to motivate myself now (or even not at all at some times), shows me how much my 'Self' and esteem level, as well as how I look on life now, have all deteriorated. Quite sad really, because now I have no goal in life, and I see that I am aimlessly achieving for an unknown reason.

These few days have been real bad. I've been heaps 'emo-tional' and I can't really figure out why. There's too many things going on at once, and I have gotten myself tangled in my troubles and sadnesses and confusions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I managed to somehow...'finish' up studying and catch a bit of the soccer last night. I think Australia's quite a good team to have kept up... until the second goal. I might have been frustrated when Fred kicked a confirmed win for Brazil, but I knew this would finally end Australia's arrogance. You know how many bloody times I've seen Cahill's and Aloisi's goals?!?! Bro's with me there.

There's something I'm forgetting, and I can't quite put my finger on it.
There may be a person's name to mention but I can't quite REMEMBER YOUR NAME. mwahahaha, evil-nesses. You should know who you are. I wont give you the satisfaction of mentioning you name, yet I will give you face from not insulting you in each and every of my blogs, ok?

- Today, tomorrow and forever -

I was just browsing a couple of random blogs, and I was wondering, who would want to read a shit load of crap? Sometimes I find it hard to read other people's blogs, especially when they write an essay. An essay godamnit! Ok..I know I'm being unfair. I mean, some of the 'essay' blogs are quite good, I just can't read it all.. so now I'll try to write less.. and thats why maybe photos and pix are good, because they distract readers and break up the text.

Do People actually read my crap? Do you actually 'read' it? 'Cos I guess people I don't see regularly don't mind reading about day-to-day happenings. Any suggestions on what I should blog about? Or change about my blog... but not that I might carry them out, but I'd still like to know.

Hrm. Ok. I just realised I left out a few 'happenings' of a few nights ago that I could have blogged about. Oh well. Too late now.

I know... no pics today.. essay-blog-peeoples...don't hate mee!

- _FuLL HouSe_procrastination -

OMG, one week since I posted and ONE FRICKEN WEEK of NO STUDY!!! Can you believe it?!? ...Well, actually I can 'cos I know that's how lazy I can get. Had to work yesterday ("had" to, there was a booking) so I missed out on Australia vs. Japan. What a game... we heard screams and shouts from outside the restaurant... but what could you do... and then one of the guys went outside to do something and came back in saying that it was 3-1 ... Australia. Wow. What a shock. I mean that's great for Australia, I guess.

Meanwhile, progress in study, none.

Today I drowned myself in hours of K-drama... >_<>AND I guess I have to give it up to Rain (Bi) who apparantly won an award for his role in this show. I give up Noelle... Rain is cool!! He's hot... in his 'Rain' kinda way.. well haven't quite finished the series yet.. but stilll.... I recommend it!!


Full House Cast (L-R) - Han Eun Jung, Kim Sung Soo, Song Hae Gyo and Jung Ji Hoon (Bi a.k.a Rain)

And study? NONE as yet..

Oh yeah, and I finally got my camera.. and all this time..this is what I managed to get...


Oh well.. a camera is a camera.

Well...after one week I think I shall start some decent study now..

- Glorious Gloria Jeans -

My Goodness, I'll be running out of witty titles soon, lol. Had my in-class today! Boy, three and a half pages in 50 minutes is impressive all over again. I mean, not compared to PnL in high school, of course, but do you how long it's been, since I wrote a godamn in-class essay?!? Well, I did finish in time..so I guess I'm pretty happy. Except for the part where me and Celien figured out almost everybody had incorporated, in some way or another, their essay into their course reader. That was damn annoying!

Celien: " Yuan lai shi wo men cai na me ben!"

I'm not going to translate that for those of you who don't understand.

Anyways, was thinking about going home, since today my mum had given me specific instructions to be home before six (which she denied when I got home). But that day in Claremont where I didn't buy that black and white scarf that matched my top that I bought really bothered me. So I decided to go to the city to find it. Niss was with me, and was contemplating on going. So we flipped a coin. Coin flipping is extra cool, 'cos it's like, 50-50! If it was heads, she came with us (oh yes, Alan was there also..), and guess what? It was heads, mind you everything has been turning up heads lately.

Well...we didn't find the scarf. Very disappointed. But we went to Gloria Jeans in Borders, and their coffee is actualli pretty nice. But I had three sugars without tasting it first though. Neverless, still good.

- Latte-less Tuesday -

I haven't had my latte today. It feels weird, no coffee but I'm not a caffeine addict. Valentino's latte make me take three sugars, but uni and Dome latte's only make me take two.

I have an in-class essay tomorrow..and the progress of study is damn slow! Why can't I study? I think that's why I worked yesterday, better than sitting around the house looking hopelessly at the end of time. Lets hope it all goes well..


This pix was taken at Sinnie's pre-birthday get-together *winks* and I just have to mention that dude behind me..which happens to be my brother is "Machi" obsessed. Machi-Jayc huh? We'll see about that. For those guys who don't know what I'm on about, that three finger thing is the 'Machi thing'. But yeah, I said that the day my bro becomes a star in Asia, I get to be his manager and we'll be giving out free concert tix to those who have been loyal since day 1 ..heehee..that's you, Ryeei, right?

Did I embarrass ya bro?

- Musical inspiration -

Today, I feel like a pink mood. But I'm not quite in the pink mood. Work really drains you. I mean, at times I don't mind working around the people I do, but there are the frustrating times. Maybe today wasn't rather the frustrating day, but something about it didn't make me happy. Though I' m not quite sad though..

Well holidays are coming up soon, so that's defintely something to cheer about. Many friends to catch up with, many good times to be had.

Mind you there'll be many short little posts 'cos even though I need musical inspiration, there will still always be small little distractions in my head that would compel me to write, but knowing this is a very public piece, it's not really the place I would like to express my deep dark secrets and desires..

And on that ending note, I'd like to ask everyone what their deepest (and far-fetched if it be so) desire is... expectin' responses!

- Welcome! -

Hi everyone! As you can see, it's my first official post! But it is still under construction because I guess I'm just not quite satisfied with it yet. Just wait 'til I get my long awaited camera, *cough*cough*, and there will be plenty of pictures to fill my picture-less blog.

A note to all you pro-bloggers, please don't critique my blog, it's my first time and i'm very sensative 'cos I know all your blogs are so PRO ! And to all the others, use my 'chatter box' tagboard! It's cool! I know I've already started but they were just to try if it worked!

I guess I won't be updating you with every miniscule detail of my life, and post as I do, whenever I feel like it. Knowing that some of you will be sure to read this, not every miniscule detail can be blogged about. So don't be pouty if I left you out. But be sure to read between the lines. I will make it difficult for you. Hahaha.

Well, yesterday was the last-day-of-uni, and weren't we all pleased, 'cos I sure damn well was. Noelle had planned to go out for dinner and we agreed on Taka's *yum*yum*. But there were a couple of us, and I guess I should apologise to the people who missed out, I guess we didn't see you around uni? *sorry! pleaase don't be sad!* After a satisfying dinner, I had to use my free pool-ing hours so we went to play pool, and fortunately it was quite empty so we could freely make fools of ourselves. Mind you that was just us girls, sorry to Dan and Alan who had to suffer the humiliation. Then after, and I'm not sure who mentioned (honestly I don't remember, don't laugh Noelle) that we should all go karaoke. So we did, and had ourselves two hours of screaming matches, dodgy songs (and the backgrounds that go with them *shudders*) and FUN!! What a way to end the crappy semester. Well don't know about you guys but I had fun.

I'm all blogged out, even though that may have been a short (?) one. But thanks to Kath and Niss for takin care of me today, sorry if I sour-ed your day! And of course, how could I forget to mention A-Lan, as they call you..Thanks!
