- DearS at Borders -
Random point: I hate womn2205 lecturer.
Have I ever ranted about how extrally poor I am, and that I went shopping with Mich on Wednesday AS AN OBSERVER, and accidentally turned into a participant and bought this uber fantastic green apples top? At the moment, hitting minuses and borrowing from my also poor brother.
So many errands to do today, on top on getting some work done since this weekend AND the whole of next week will definitely be unproductive. Went to borders to look for 'graphic novels' as a pressie for Loong.. hope he doesn't read this. But then I did sms him and ask him if he reads 'DearS' manga. So that probably gave it away, considering I was complaining to him about getting him a present. But I had to read it over to see if it was good material. I sat there and read manga. Me? Manga? That's a very odd scene mind you. Not that I don't like manga or anime, but I never really got myself into it. I think someone is going to lend me Death Note. *Hint*nudge*cough*.
During my errand session..I realise that you don't get respect from old people if you wear a French Connection shirt. Everybody else seems fine with it. But when I was in the post office renewing my driver's licence, the lady talked to me like a delinquent child. The nerve! So I decided to act like one:
Me (nice at first): Hi, I'd like to renew my driver's licence..
Old Lady: (takes the sheet, looks at me, looks at sheet)
Me: um, I want to choose the one year renewal?
OL: Why don't you have to pay? How come? I don't get why you don't have to pay..
Me: Umm...I think it's 'cos-
OL: Where is the fee? Why don't you have to pay?
Me: 'Cos I don't! I'm pretty sure it says zero dollars because I don't need to pay it.
OL: Oh, you're probation. Ok, you'll get your card in the mail.
Me: (mumbling) duh...
OK, maybe I wasn't as rude as I thought I was.
Anyway, in wearing a black shirt and jeans to the city, there were a few people dressed for beaching with towels and all. Mann, what great weather for the beach today. 29 degrees! Aww, and I'm stuck at home doing errands and homework.
I went to the Jay Chou forum last night and I stumbled across a little thing where it was saying fans loved track 2 'Ting Mama de Hua' from his latest album Still Fantasy. They loved it so much that they cried when they heard it. Now before I say what I'm going to say, you have to get the lyrics before giving me shit. But I cried too! It's such a great song, I'm going to make my brother learn the lyrics and sing it to mum on her birthday. And maybe make him enter a karaoke competition. Mwahahaha...
Ok, back to errands.

- Write PEN fifteen on your arm. -
Today I had the letters P-E-N written on my arm, because I was smart, I avoided the 15 that Alan insisted I put on the end of those letters.
Why haven't I been blogging lately? I've been avoiding Blogger, so I don't get myself tangled in blogging. It is ever so distracing. I'm not gonna fix the video I uploaded...I'm damn slack. And I don't know when you're gonna get your cd back caroline, considering I have to put all those videos onto your cd..
Anyways, today I actually stayed in uni for 3 out of the 5 classes I have on Thursdays. That's pretty damn good. What good weather we had today. Summer is approaching. I'm getting that summer urge to wake up early and go jogging, walking around my neighbourhood, go to the beach (how odd), to slack of uni and sit on the oak lawn getting fried under the aussie sun. Stupid urges.
I think something good happened to me during summer, because everytime I see sunny blue skies, I have this old school feeling. It's so hard to describe. I don't know if it's just reminiscent feelings or what not. I - don't - know.
On another note, certain people/person are having mid-life crisis and is driving me nuts. Nuts I tell you! I'm going to burst and rebel on a count of insanity.
Mcw is coming. No comment...but come to Spring Feast everyone. It's on Thursday 6pm near the Oak lawn. EVERYBODY is welcome. It's pasar malam u-dub style.
Cocktail is tomorrow. Sigh. Why is it so hard to go somewhere to get drunk and arrange rides to and from the city? No, drunk is not the word to use. I do not intend on getting drunk. I just need enough to drown out some pessimistic thoughts. And some sorrows while we're at it. But not too much that I'll have to regret all the crap I will cause. I just don't want to care. Why did I put myself on the line anyway?
Lets hope nothing goes wrong then. If anything does, everyone's going to know about it anyhow.
I think that's it. Nothing else interesting in my life. Nothing in the vicinity of *ooh*aah* exciting. Don't worry, I'd let you know if there was.

- I am not a feminist -
And I'm damn proud of it. I've done a few feminist units and man do they suck eggs. Especially self.net, since it triples up with Women's studies, English and Communication studies.
I got my self.net essay back and I got a credit. Not surprising 'cos that's what I usually get. But for the stupid coordinator to question my motives on why I must disparage the feminist content in my research was highly inappropriate. The effin' coordinator is an effin' feminist!!! My friend also got the same mark and a similar comment. That was so uncalled for.
Some of you may think I'm stupid. Why didn't I just go along with it and be a feminist for a day to get better marks from the stupid feminist coordinator? Well, it's becuse I can't argue the feminist point of view, 'cos I don't agree with it. And I just plain and simply don't like it. And me and my friend had a good half hour bitch about it after tutorial.
Which leads me to where I am now. Home. Skipped the rest of the day. On a feminist rage. Even bitched about it to mum.

- Long Black coffee = Long Sleepless night -
Note to self: long blacks have two shots of coffee...not suitable for evening coffee over chit chat. After effects include NOT BEING ABLE TO SLEEP. Blardy hell.
Taken by yours truly prolly after the first course or just before the second course.
Compare that picture to this one:
Still the same? Damn straight...it's called 'being-able-to-control-your-alcohol-effects-when-in-front-of-you-parents'.
Niss and Kath, I don't think they'll appreciate me putting up the other picture we took...
Me and Rong Chyi, who called me before we all got in to take pictures in the hotel foyer just in case she didn't see me in the ballroom, and guess what? Our tables were situated next to each other!
I like this pic..caught Alan the poseur! Mwahahahaha.
This pic I like to...pretty Shirls.. :)
With Angeline..good ol' high school friend :)
Erm..drunken Ronnie..an anonymous said he looks like LEEHOM:
Three and a half words..
In my fkn DREAMS!!!
Jasee... high school mates too..
Emm...high school..acquaintance..hey who knew, people grow up. Turn out nice.
Blogger's being a retard right now, so this is just part one of pics...still have a few to go..but man did this take forever! All my study time gone.
KTV night tomorrow at utopia!! Go people's ..

- Whinge, cry, sulk.. -
Eh, so much for post-ball post. Sorry peoples..I know by the time I get around to it, I won't be in the same mood I was in when I was at the ball. I will get to putting some photos up soon...
Meanwhile feeling dreafully tired and suffocated. I just need to tell everyone who must put up with me at uni to beware. I'm going to pre-apologise if I say something really stupid and mean to you. I know it's unexcusable. But I'm deeply and truly sorry. Because I feel at outburst creeping up on me. And I'm scared I might lay it on one of you guys. But I'll try my best not to. Please dont be angry at me.
But knowing all this, blogging is my outlet. It helps to clear my mind and say what I want to say without saying it literally and making myself feel like a dumbass. The difference between speech and digital print is the blur of private and public of the digitalisation of print.
I'm a person who is not black and white. I'm quite grey, really. And that means I confuse a LOT of things for myself as well as for others. In my essays, sometimes I get told that I like to run around in circles before I sit down and tell it the way it is. So in that case, I blabber but get to the case. Marks taken off for blabbering.
So in returning to my point, I like to blog because it saves me from explaining myself through speech. I will say right now to everybody that I'm having quite a rough week. But this also means that I'm trying to deal with it and I will be shy in sharing my thoughts with you. So just letting you know that I don't have to have people asking me what's wrong because the answer you're going to get is the same I will be giving each and one of you.
I'm fine.
I'm blogging this 'cos I need release. I'm in no need of comfort. Thanks though..
I hope that wasn't a waste of time...and I also hope that didn't come out to look like a whinge session.
I have class to get to now..
BIG shoutoutz to SHIRLS who turns 19 todayyyy....happy happy birthday luv!

- Over my head -
Post-ball post can wait. I'm in so much pain right now. Pain from all the frustration that has come of me from working on all my Communications projects. Pain from all the late nights of last minute work. Pain from the pit of my stomach where the problem is unknown. Pain from taking meds I shouldn't be taking. Pain from making choices. Pain from everything.
Pain is what makes you stronger. It always does and always will, even when you think you wont make it through, you'll have the guidance from people who love you to pull you through. Because that's what they do. Everyone is there for you and we all just take them for granted.
Why do we have to wait until someone tells us we're dying 'til we manage to take our lives into our own hands? Why do we wait for destiny to run its course? We're dying since the day we were born and must make the decisions that can decide our fate. Because fate does not come to all of us like it does in the movies.
Oh god, it hurts everywhere. Even mummy can't make it all better.

Aiyohh, few hours to the ball, and I'm blogging? Heehee, self-confessed remember?
Well, I'm eating now, since the menu is set to come out pretty late. And I'm not good with an empty stomach. Done my hair and my nails and will do my makeup and redo my hair later. I want my hair extra straight so it looks rebonded. Not like it's gonna turn out like that anyways.

I love my nails! Look...
I know it's small and blurry, but that'll have to do.
Meanwhile, this is my retarded mask...
The pink goes with my dress, and dragonfly is my mini theme.
Maybe I should where those dragonfly earrings...
Ok That's it...I'm still eating...but I think I should really start to 'get ready'. Its such a fuss...you'll be hearing from me, post-ball fatigue..

- Question -
Let's say you're the pharmacist in a chemist. I walk in, browse around and walk up to the counter with a pregnancy test thingy. I then start to ask you questions about it, and as any one would, you want to know if the pregnancy test is for me. Will it be rude to ask you wonder? But you ask anyway, pretending it's protocol to know this stuff so you can give the right information.
But I say it's not for me. So is it in your right mind to believe or not believe me? Is that a prejudice against us young people from buying pregnancy testers for other people?

Might as well blog now or else will never blog later. Later is always a bad time.
He doesn't know it, but Michael will get a post on him! That's right, it's to test your claim on you un-arrogant self.
I used to work with this guy until he mysteriously just left without telling anyone, leaving me with a bunch of losers. Emm..jokes. Jokes. Anyways now he's stalked me down and rumage through my messy memories, and I remembered that I said to myself, the next time I see him, he will be receiving a beating from yours truly. He doesn't seem to mind, probably because he's taking it as a figure of speech... I might not bash him, but his hair will be spoilt. Mwahahahaha. I know no one gets that, eh, I'll leave it that way.
Well some of you guys should know your persuasion is useless on me. I guess, especially when your offer is to be at uni versus my being in my warm comfy bed. Anyways, guess what I'm doing tomorrow ( this) arvo? Applying for a job. Yep that's right people's. He bloody persuaded me to apply for a frickin' job. When I already frickin' have one. He even fixed up my resume. That darn bugger.
Will this mean the end of e.c? See, sometimes I can be spontaneous. My future is now unknown. I guess it always was.
There's like a day and a bit 'til MSU ball. That's like, soon. And darn Mich ain't gonna make it. *cries* Everybody's cryin' for you hon'. I think I'm prep'd. It was a toss btween straight or curly, but I've settled with straight hair. Good ol' straight hair, I missed it dearly since all my rebonding has grown out.
Michael, Michael, Michael... missed you dearly as well!

- Tell someone who gives a f...k -
I know I said I was going to go to sleep, but blogging seemed more of an attractive option.
I know, self-confessed blogger. Shush peoples.
And the things I blog about! Anyways, can someone tell me if that Cassie song 'Me and you' is a new one or what? 'Cos I had it a while back...and I just heard it on the radio...and they made it seem like it was new.
But what kind of blogger am I? The lazy one..who wants to blog, but is too lazy when already beginning the godamn post. I always have ideas. But I wanna go sit in my luxuriously comfy bed and literally sit there until I figure that I actually lay down and get some shut eyes. And while my eyes are shut..I think about all the crap that makes me the thinker that I am and always was. Only thinkers know what I'm on about, but I've made progress and taken the advice to not think so much. 'Cos it just causes more pain than resolutions. Which means I get to sleep so much more quicker these days.
Blog-reading + blog-writing = fragmented blog..
How boring is my blog, was reading another blog..and he blogged about how readers complained his blog was uninteresting. I just go for the pictures. So what are the takes on my blog? No photo's like I promised. All gibberish, and according to a few, a whole lot of whinging.
My answer to everything?
Is bah.

- Would you trust a picture? -
How much do pictures portray the real thing? Would you base your opinions on what you see from a photo? Well most of us do, disregard what they say about, 'never judge a book by its cover'. In a books case, I always judge it by the cover, and it's what draws me to the book, the cover gives me and idea of what the book is, and if I see it is sci-fi or hardcore fantasy, I wont read it.
Back to the photo. Knowing that people these days llike to photoshop pictures is an example why you shouldn't trust pictures. I get so many of those emails where the photos depoct something extremely awesome or absolutely outrageous. Most of the time you can tell if its real or fake. I heard this story from one of my work colleagues that they got this email about a magician who was performing tricks in a local park. He asked this one girl to lay down on the bench and two guys on either end of her (head and feet) while he did his magic thing to split her into two. When he told the two guys to pull, this girl literally tore into two parts from the torso, no blood..just two parts. This of course was illustrated with pictures and a narration.. but my colleague seemed so convinced. I just didn't get it. WTF? It's completely stupid. Apparantly she screamed and tried to run away with her hands pulling her body weight. What a load of crap.
There was another story, but that one is obscenely vile and I picture that the photo's she got were pretty much close to porn. Let's just say it was a scary fettish..
And then there's that site I got from Thanh, called Worth1000. Haven't looked at it, but I know it's something to do with great photoshopped pictures. Or something...
Finally, my own pictures. I have pictures, that will not be displayed because of the comments received, that have shown some things in a completely different light. It is because of angle, lighting and clothing material. Nevertheless, I can justify the truth with my own words. But some choose to believe what they want to believe. Oh well, it's my word against yours. As long as I am not perceived as I shouldn't be by the original commenter, then it's ok.

Back to the photo. Knowing that people these days llike to photoshop pictures is an example why you shouldn't trust pictures. I get so many of those emails where the photos depoct something extremely awesome or absolutely outrageous. Most of the time you can tell if its real or fake.

- Corruption -
Today in tute, an interesting point was raised about the word corruption in relation to the way it works in China. I never thought I'd see corruption in this light.
We were discussing, or actually, the tutor was telling us how corruption in China should be seen more so as a traditional way of doing things rather than dishonest proceedings or a perversion of integrity. It is rather logical to trust your family and friends than anyone outside this degree of intimacy. In doing so, we would usually seek to take care of them before anyone else.. and it has just been easier that way. Also, the system of debts was amongst the topic, whereby when you perform a favour for someone, they become in your debt and the next time you need something done, you have somewhat an authority, or some kind of advantage over the other person for your own favour to be carried on. And it is such a more efficient system than that of the Chinese political system aparantly, so it's no wonder that there is corruption. This individualist ideal is also an influence from Confucius who stated that as Chinese we should put ourselves and our family first (ie. filial piety) or the way my tutor put it, 'Love ourselves before we love others'. That's the best thing she's said all semester! Anyway, this of course was argued by Maoists, who said (in her words again), 'Why can't we love everyone?', this relates to the structures of communism where everybody is one and yadda yadda...
But don't you just love the Confucian way better?
That's corruption for ya. Confucianism...or maybe not.

- five-oh -
Hit the 50th post today. 50 posts full of crap... the wonders of..yours truly.

- Un-photoshopped -
Yep, that's right. With all this talk about photoshopping, and people photoshopping people or themselves..I figured out today which picture everybody would hate the most.
Passport photos. No airbrushing, no photoshopping. Just good ol' natural YOU. I got mine taken today, and my face is so blotchy. It's yuck and I have eight of them for god know what reason.
Anyways..didn't rock up to uni. Again. Lot's of falling asleep on my bed while reading. And since I can't be assed doing work still, I'm going to watch tv. And work on my presentation later in the night...and rah rah...all that crap. Know anybody as lazy as me?

- To Blog or Not to Blog -
Duh, I'm blogging. Cliche, I know.
Shouldn't I be doing my work, I know!
But I realised what the 1st of September was...hrms..yes...too busy to remember how much I was waiting for the event. Sorry, sorry.
What a weekend it's been. I'm so tired, there's no time to do my work (but there's always time for blogging?). Falling further and further behind.
I think my dad got a great FD pressie. He get's to organise my trip. Man, I get to go everywhere, but just few hours ago...KL got cancelled, and I only get to go if my cousin's can take off work to take me. But I know they'll want to go for the post-Chrissy shopping. And that means last minute shopping for me plus...last minute to splurge all the money I have left.
Um..no, that wasn't the present I gave to my dad. He has my daughterly-love. Muahuahuahua. And the wine and wine glasses for his empty bar.
I need something. I need some change. *sigh* Everything is piling up...mcw is on my back again...and I need the stuff done soon..damnit!

- Mirror song.. -
She wanders here and there, and you're wondering if she's having a good time... of course, you are, anywhere with her is all that matters.
But soon you see, her face lights up as she runs the other way, runs the other way to someone else and not you.
She introduces him as her good friend, but what do you care? She's the one you want and the one you care about, but she doesn't see you.
Now you wander here and there, watching her from above, and you know she's having a good time... because she is with him. But you lose yourself in all the emotions.
Does her happiness matter, or you own? Who's do you want to sacrifice? So you sacrifice hers, because you know you can show her. Show her how much she needs you, and how much you need her.
And in the end... you lose her forever. To him.
Unknown song, sung by unknown guy. Was watching it and reminded me of that other story of a song I told. It seemed like the reverse..quite weird..but yeah..I tell it as I see it peoples.
Was going to blog about something else..but I don't want to throw in something completely different to the genre I've set now...
