Little Baby

Fucking yummy Thai food and dessert

Coconut icecream and sticky rice! UGHHHH!

Day 28 Maccas Meal & Bubble Cup

I bought a pair of Carhartt pants today. My second Carhartt item actually, due to the outrageous prices on them. Today Carhartt was on sale. My grey comfy tight fitting work pants were $80 down from $199. Vince bought a pair of jeans for $100 on sale. Such good quality and comfy fit. I want a puffy Carhartt jacket too. Similar to the one MJ has.

I tried something different at Maccas today. The McFeast burger and their Shaker Fries. Shit. We paid $18 for two burgers and fries (one small and one medium). Shit that didnt even include drinks. I could go to St. Albans, eat a good cooked meal and still have change left over.

I tried a new bubble cup today. I usually get my blueberry, apple or taro but today I had 'starfruit' and it wasn't a 'fruit chiller' or 'ice blend' it was a 'snow flake'. Different. And Pleasant! I like... very milky :)

Maccas & Bubble Cup

It was a sunny day. Me and vman went on a date to the city. We drove, well I drove, in and parked at QV. We walked past Jwow and had a little giggle at the floating cow decor. Vince had breakfast at Don Don's, we strolled around Melbourne Central to help vman find some clothes.

I try to help him shop but I feel like i do all the work for him. Ugh. Can't you find ur own clothes and ur own sizes? On the other hand, I like picking out stuff for him. Sometimes I pick the right stuff and he tries it on :) or i pick something he initially doesnt like, but after i force him to try it on, he ends up liking it. Then theres a problem with his sizing, it's difficult to find sizes for him because he's so big. e.g at Carhartt when all but one sale item failed to fit him. I guess that makes shopping for vman easy because we can eliminate brands based on their sizing.

Vman's Brand Elimination List:

Saxony

Jeans from That Store

Roger David

Off to Myer to find vman's niece a birthday present. The Tinklebell she wanted cost $100. Wow. We had to find a substitute.

'Remember when you were a kid and you ask your parents to buy you this toy that you reaaallly want... nothing else they bought would matter. They say they will buy it. But when you open your present you find a cheaper, much cheaper rip off of the toy you wanted? Sometimes its not even what you wanted'

Sorry Angel. We got you Zooballs. I found this toy that Phuong had told me about. You pressed its stomach and the mouth would open. It sung out tunes. It was so cute. Me and vince were playing with it for 10 minutes like gangstas giggling in the toy deparment. I was very tempted to buy it... but im sure the novelty would wear off so I recorded it for memories. We exploited my Myer Team Member discount.

Hours of Fun

We went to vince's bro's house in Derrimut for Angel's celebration. We ate filo spaghetti for dinner and fresh ube macaroons for dessert. By this time i was beyond bloated. And not to mention tired as my nocturnal sleeping habits were slowing changing into a normal persons'. Vince dropped me home about 9:20pm.

Day 3: New Nails, Wound, Stain, Transport

It's only 8:32am (yes I have woken unnaturally early) and already the event of the new and different have occurred.

1. Blue nail polish. This is actually a massive change seeing as I refuse to have anything but white or light silver on my nails. It just looks cleaner and sophisticated. Opening the bathroom cupboard, I instinctively reached for the white nail polish, then stopped when I saw the blue. Okay fuck it. I had a little shock this morning when I woke up. In the dark with this dark colour on, it didnt look like i had any nails!
2. My unnatural awake up time of 7:14am. I got out of bed at 7:52am. Its a glorious 21 degrees today. The sun is out. The sky is blue and in a few hours the clouds will clear. Surely it isnt winter. Bring on a warm spring and an even warmer summer when clothes wont be necessary.

I've got plans today to head into the city. I'm not driving to the station bcoz I'll be drinking. Post office. Bourbon training at Papa Goose, Flinders Lane. Drop off these Nikes to an Ebayer on Franklin Street. Meet up with Phuong, eat at Cafe Vu, Little Collins Street. Cycle around the city and Alexander Gardens with Melbourne City rental bikes. Excite!

My birthday is tomorrow. It's going to be 22 degrees. Let's runamuck

_____________________

It's almost 1 am and I just got home. I have a 2 job interviews tmrw, a 12:30pm with sketchers and a 3pm with Witchery in Crown Casino. I think I will attend the latter. Just like I was decked out in Zara for the Zara interview, I will be decked out in all Witchery. Except perhaps the shoes and of course underwear.

I went on a massive journey today.

Bourbon training and tasting at Papa Goose, Flinders Lane

I ended up getting tipsy half way through the 2 hour training. After it finished, James announced that we were going to a wine tasting at Fed Square. Okay!

Zinc, Federation Square

So here I was in my acid washed jeans, oversized knitted jumper and backpack mingling amongst these wine heads in suits and ties. Again I am out of place. I swish around my wine glass, smell (the way I was taught to at bourbon training - it came in handy), then taste in tiny sips. Pause, and deliver a verdict with adjectives such as 'floral', 'light', 'sweet', 'sharp', 'strong', 'dry'. The portfolio booklet in my hand helped hide my alcohol-blushed face. James said I pulled it off well.

Don Don's

Shit! I spent too much time drinking and giggling i forgot I needed to be somewhere at 5pm! An ebay buyer wants to buy these shoes so I call him up to say I will be late. Oops. I dont know what this guy looks like, all i know is his name, phone number and that he is probably a fobby asian. I stand at Don Don's, he's even later than me!! How will i know its him?? I looked out for lost asians standing around Don Don's and looking at me with questioning faces. I asked one of these randoms:

Me: 'Are you here for shoes??'

Random: 'Sorry?'

Me: 'Are you here for shoooooes??'

Random: 'Ahhh no..'

Ugly ass shoes

Okay so no. Eventually my phone rings, I see a guy infront of me with the phone to his ear. Yep. Him. He had a cute little puppy on his leash that I bent down and pat, so fluffy! This asian fob tried to get away with a $5 discount because I didnt have change for him. Why would you NOT bring the right amount with you?? I told him to follow me to my work and I got change for him.

Fed Square - a 'new' means of transport around Melbourne

Phuong and I utilised our free Melbourne Bike Share Passes courtesy of the State of Design Festival. Riding a bike proved to be challenging as I have not rode a bike in years, literally. I was too scared to ride on the roads, I didnt want to by run over by a truck or screamed at by angry drivers. I rode on the pathway, I would pay a $45 fine! We rode to Alexander Gardens, the NGV International and to the ACCA. I wanted to make a wish in the NGV fountains but I feed most of my coins to the Myki machine. I did have 5c though, I threw it in. That should do it.

The weather was cool but pleasant and the night lights on the trees, buildings and streets were so beautiful. It was really a good feeling to be riding your bike around melbourne. Phuong and I stopped to take photographs here are there. It was our scenic tour of Melbourne on a warm winter's night, and we could go wherever we wanted!

We stopped at a playground, Phuong's newly named 'Bark Park'. We spun each other around the spinning things till we felt we were going to throw up. Phuong fell on the floor and all the bark stuck to her wooly jumper and literally covered her lower back.

'Do I have any bark on me??'

We rode along the South Bank and it was so pretty and peaceful.

Then we got tired and set our minds on some $9 steak with mushroom and chive sauce, chips and salad at Lions Hotel, Melbourne Central. We rode our bikes up Swanston Street and I felt like a celebrity. At the end of the ride, I discovered a cut on my hand, my ring had broken and my calves, thighs, and abs were hurting. Why didnt I stretch?? I also had a new red lipstick stain on my new white jumper, Phuong's kiss mark.

So sad. My ring broke.

Note to self: bike riding is NOT as cruisy as you think it is, its fucking hard work.

1,000 Pound Bend

Melbourne was a glorious 27 degrees. that came out of now where.

Sun from my kitchen window

A pleasant surpise in the mail - the watch i bought on ebay for $1!

I had my 12 hour recovery sleep and headed into the city - the only direction in which i go. i met up with kylie, my bubbly energetic friend from high school, got tipsy at the rooftop (perfect day for it).

Rooftop relaxing - drinking wine out of a plastic tumbler?

We walked to 1,000 pound bend for a rip off bagette. but it was a very cool place with very cool people. I love their logo - Alex Trochut cudnt do a better job.

Our bagettes and view from the smoking area

Then off to my first exhibition at my uni!

London Paris Study Tour 2011

Jean-Dominique Bauby & France

I just watched an incredible movie about well-known French editor for Elle Magazine - Jean Dominique Bauby. The film was called The Diving Bell and The Butterfly. Jean-Do lives an eventful, luxurious and high roller life with lots of girls and money. He suddenly suffers from a stroke that leaves him mute and paralyzed from head to toe. The only physical movements of control was that of his eyes. He's right eye ends up getting 'sewn up' since it wasnt functioning properly and was at risk to disease. The camera films from Jean-Do's point of view, so you gradually see the doctor stitching up the eye, until it is only blackness. The viewer feels Jean-Do's frustration and fear as he screams

'Go away! Don't touch me!'

but of course, no one hears him and he can't move.

Exercise

It seems life is pointless and recovery progress is slow. A speech therapist teaches him to communicate: she recites the letters of the alphabet (the most frequently used letters first). Jean-Do blinks when the desired letter is said. The therapist will write it down and continue with the next letter. Soon a word will form, then sentences and paragraphs. This process is very slow and frustrating for Jean-Do who has to keep his eye open for the whole time - even when he naturally feels like blinking!

Repeated letters

This movie doesnt focus so much on the negative effects of locked-in syndrome, but more on his optimistic point of view. Jean-Do acknowledges that he still has his imagination and memories in tact and often uses these to escape reality.

Where should i go for dinner today?

he closes his eyes and imagines he's at a fancy restaurant dressed in his sleepwear. He is eating delicious food, then smiles at a pretty lady across the room. He signals for her to come over, and she does. He feeds her some oysters and drinks some wine. He says to her

"Fancy seeing you here.."

Jean-do's body in a 'diving bell' submerged under water, an image frequented in the movie, symbolises his physical state of immobility while butterfly images symbolise freedom in imagination and thoughts.

The viewer feels more comfortable with Jean-Do's ease of his condition and it is easier to see this movie as inspirational and comical. When pretty lady's are in his presence, he looks to their exposed flesh and we hear his naughty thoughts. its funny bceause these girls have no idea what his thinking.

Pretty Girls everywhere

In the 2 years that he suffered from lock-in syndrome, Jean-Do writes a book. The 'feminine' version of The Count of Monte Christo. It will take him 3hrs using the communication strategy of his therapist to write 1-1.5 pages. The book was published and 2 days after, he passed away from pneumonia. He dedicates the book to his three children, and wishes them:

Many butterflies

Its a touching story. I want to buy the book. But would i would i still buy it if it didnt have a happy ending? I realise people only want to hear about real issues if they have positive aspects to it. Sad but true. This is the fourth french movie i have seen and i will say that I love them. There is some kind of sweet charm to the french, i love the sound of the french language, and the gentle humour they seem to have. There is a touch of cheekiness, subtle and usually innocent. And when the topic is not so innocent, there is a twist that convinces you that it is. This kind of charming and cheeky humour makes me smile, unlike the 'laugh out loud' crude and 'in your face' humour of the Australians or English, or the immature 'not so funny' humour of the Americans. Four French Movies

1. The City of Lost Children
2. Tais-Toi
3. Amelie
4. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

I am now in love with the French and anyone who can speak French. I want to go back to Paris. French movies communicate that 'love knows no boundaries'. I associate my favourite french scenes with the gentle tickle of the autumn morning sun. I wish i wasnt so intimidated by the French when i was in Paris. I want to see the side of France that i see in the movies. I wish i was still in Paris.

Dizzy

Ever since i came back from my holiday i want to have fun, go out, meet new people and do different things. my life is usually spent cooped up in my bedroom and in front of this computer. when im not at school, working at Jwow or homeworking, i am at home wishing i was out somewhere. i would like to go out with PEOPLE and not do things alone but it seems my people are either busy with family/bf, working, homeworking, too tired, have no money and blah blah blah. ive been out to the city by myself because there's no one to go out with.

but i feel vulnerable going out by myself, even if there is no reason to feel so. i worry about where i should eat, where i will go, how will i get home, where will i rest when i get tired.. Yesterday wasn't going to be one of those days.

I woke up at 2:30pm after a restless night (i ended up sleeping on the floor at 7:30am). i msgd my workmate so we could kickback since i missed out yesterday. we ate dumplings in the city (prawn and spinach yum!) then headed to Rooftop Bar for some drinkies. its was such good singlet weather, about 30degrees. we drank vodka, lime and & lemonade to compliment the weather. and also Red Sangria - quite strong. and finished it off with Slo Gin and Lemonade.

We headed to Match Bar where our manager from Jwow was working. it was trippy to see him behind the bar. We had a Gin and (orange) Juice with a slice of fresh orange and a Vodka and Cranberry. yummyy.

We met up with a few friends then headed to Loft Night Club where my friend was DJing. I never knew sneaking a bottle of Gin and orange juice was so easy if u walked in with the DJ. usually they search your bags and pat you down, but we all breezed pass the security guards for free. there was absolutely no one in the club. NO ONE. it was 10pm which i thought was when people rock up - apparently not.

After Loft, they all headed to Brighton Beach to kickback. there was a welcomed cool change by this time and it felt so nice to be by the beach.

i ended up getting home at 4am - dizzy from the mixture of alcohol and second hand smoke. And vman's cut at me because I went out with all boys. He's decided we should break up.

Sangria Weather

Productive day.

Work 9:45am - 2:45pm

(1 hour lunch at Ramen Ya)

Changed my U.A.E. Dirhams for Australian dollars

Camera inspected at Micheal's Camera house

Visit Phuong at work

Accidentally discovered where Nga works

Explored Spencer Street for bargains and found none

Took the train to St. Albans to meet up with Vman

Bought some groceries

Went home and made Sangria - perfect for the 28 degree weather

Later cooked some buritos

i craved Ramen Ya since I was overseas. It was difficult to get good asian good in europe, even in Dubai! i missed my Chicken Katsu Don Bento box so I got just that. I love bento boxes and their cute little compartments, everything is so organised. hehe. i had lunch with James and Aaron. they spoke about finance, the economy and foreign currency. I didnt understand most of it due to the jargon and unfamiliar concepts but i did learn a thing or too.

in Dubai i wanted to give my left over dirhams to sheila. it was about 500 dirhams. i told her it wasnt much and that she should take it. sheila and paul insisted that i take it back home and exchange it to dollars. i was reluctant and said it wouldnt be much anyway. today i changed it into dirhams. i didnt search around for the best price like i normally do. i was surprised that the lady offered me $113.40 AUD for my dirhams. she asked me "is that okay?" im like "YEAH!" hahah ignorant me.

i fucked up my camera when i was overseas. i dropped it twice in the British Museum bcoz i was tired and it slipped thru my hands. the flash isnt working at all, viewing pictures is a fraction slower than normal, and it randomly resets to factory settings when you turn it on. its so annoying bcoz i hate the sound of buttons and shutter! i want it fixed, bcoz this camera is meaningful to me - it was my 18th birthday present and the first big thing that i acutally went out and searched for myself. the guy at Micheal's reckons my camera was borderline repairable and beyond economic repair/right-off. WHAT? i dropped it twice, paid $522 for it and its a borderline right-off? these manufacturers do this on purpose - those fuckers. imagine how much waste we would produce if everyone dropped their camera twice..

i love coincidences. i visited phuong at her work. then went next door to the bargain book shop, i love bargain book shops. i thought the girl at the counter looked like Nga. but i wasnt going to call her name out if i wasn't 100% sure bcoz ive been mistaken before , its embarassing. i saw her face from a closer spot and it was her! i havent seen her in ages. it was good to talk to her and keep her company :)

the weather was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. i like taking the train on days like these, i sit on the side with the most sun, and stare out the window. i like the yellow tinge and glaring sun. i take off my sunglasses to feel the warmth on every part of my face. i hate how the train goes into the tunnels bcoz it blocks out my darkness for the next 10 minutes. trains from flinders to sandringham also go through a tunnel.

I don't mind going through the tunnel

because I know there is sunshine on the other side.

on these train rides i get my best ideas. tonight when i get home, i will make Sangria and Buritos for Vman and we can dine on the decking in my backyard in the setting sun. Some groceries I bought at st.albans. the rest i improvised back home. i sourced the Plums and Kumquat from my very own backyard. picking fruit off a tree reminded me of when I was little. it felt good preparing food knowing u got the ingredients from your backyard :)

Reaping the benefits of what you sow

Literally. The sangria was good, but it needed more taste, more fruit flavour. the sangria at the bottom tasted better than the sangria at the top, probably needs to set for longer then. i forced my parents to drink a glass. mum ate the mint in the glass haha, no one eats the mint in the glass. i think she liked it even though she said she didnt want alcohol. she ate everything in the glass.

Mum: I'm going to get DRUNK on this!

Me: You wish

Some Sangria ingredients

The Alchemist

Burritos for two

Bentot Burrito Maker

It's NYE tmrw. its going to be 40 degrees, total fire ban and BEACH WEATHER. me and vman are planning to beat the crowds and go at 10am in the morning. have lunch somewhere then head back home before the peak hour. NYE will be spent without Vman just as Xmas was. I'm going to my friends party in Kings Park. I hope it will be good.

The Festive Season

It's a beautiful 28 degrees in Melbourne, blue skys, sun shining brightly, gentle breeze rustling the leaves on the trees, birds chirping... this is fully beach weather. except my tummy has grown slightly out of proportion to my hips and bust. its not easy loosing weight or toning the tummy, i dont really know the right or most effective way to do it. i do walk heaps. 1 hr of walking a day is apparently what a healthy person needs. yep, i walk 1 hour a day. ive been walking more than 2 hours a day when i was overseas, but my tummy didnt seem any flatter.

how typical of us to want fast effects, without putting in a decent effort. its a no brainer, but discouraging to think (for lazy people like me) that nothing comes for free. no pain no gain. damnit.

Last night we had a celebration for Vman's dad b'day at vman's joint. there was so much fucking food it was glorious. fried pieces of chicken that reminded me of KFC, sinagang, grilled milk fish stuffed wrapped in banana leaves with diced tomatos, prawn ukoy, lamb and pork BBQ, soup, ube dessert, sticky date pudding, fruit salad and cream... it was amazing. i think my tummy is gradually expanding to normal size after it has shrunk in London and Paris. please give me the strength to control thy eating and what thy eat.

I have work tmrw. jwow is closed to customers til the 10th of January or there abouts due to a refitting of the interior. i hope its gonna be crazy, i think it will be crazy. i suspect more work and responsibility as everything jwow was, will be improved and upgraded - included customer service. tmrw joel wants me to help with the refit, not sure exactly what I will be doing - lets hope none of that tradie stuff bcoz thats what we pay them for. this is will be a good opportunity to get mums glass bowl back, i hope the watermelon that was contained in it hasnt moulded so badly. i will also change some U.A.E. Dirhams into AUD. im running outa cash. i need to make some more $$ or find a higher paying job. damn my holiday and spending mode.

Extravagant Spending

Dubai's Atlantis Hotel on

at the tip of the Palm Islands

A Quick Note

Making that money,

earning that cash

ive spent well over 3hours listing shit on ebay. I know i should wait for optimal times to list, and research similar items to those i am listing for effective keywords but i cant be fucked. i just want the money, and i want it now.

i have a fucked up body clock. its so confused. and so am i. help?

im looking at photos of my holiday in QLD and SYD i want to go back. i want that lifestyle. i want to always have fun. this weather is going to be such a bad influence on me. i just want to be FREEEEEE

this weather also brings out the rebel in me, and the 'fuck it, just do it' attitude. the thoughts of getting a tattoo and my nose repierced seem so much of a possibility. and why should i be stuck in all day doing homeowkr when the weather is so good? i might even skip skool to hava little nap on the grass outside, or on the bench. i think of the sun as a good thing, i want to expose as much skin to it as possible, i want to be a dry sponge soaking up a river of water, submerge me with sun!!!

China Town, Brisvegas

Marketing.

Sunny, 27degrees, light breeze was the weather today. got up quite early (9:15am) to catch the 10:09am train from watergardens. travelled to Glenferrie for my marketing lecture and class. got back my mid semester test results and found out i did really bad, and so did the rest of the class. yay. i got 18/30 thats 60% thats about a pass or credit.

the subject of marketing is annoying, there are so many terms with the most simplist definitions, it defeats the purpose of having terms! for example

Target Marketing Selection : process of choosing a market to target

Marketing Strategy Development : developing strategy

Marketing Intelligence : any everyday info about the marketing environment

Marketing Information System (MIS) : process used to gather information

it makes everything difficult to understand.

I applied for a bartending position. its gona be a very cool job, IF i get accepted. I handed my resume and personalised cover letter to this nice man named James, shooked his hand and everything. I hope it was a good impression, i told him it took me two days to write the cover letter. i told him not to forget me. tmrw ive gotta go to femme and notify kirra of my application and my intent to leave once i get accepted. i hate quitting, i cant find the right words to say, especially to kirra =(

Central Station, Sydney City

Xxplosive - Dr. Dre

I've got all this homework and i feel like i cant get it all done. i dont know where to start and i dont know exactly what to do. i know the end result, but how to get there? i do however, know the secret to get things completed and off my chest, that is to JUST DO IT.

today i was meant to get all this homework done, but it was such a beautiful day and i just wanted to laze around my room and listen to music, which is what i did. then it was time vman finished work so he came over here and we kick backed for a bit. most of the time he spent with my dad, trying to fix the new internet connection on my new computer. i was eating in the kitchen, watching Deal or No Deal while anio tried to wrestle mum into a headlock. mum was too ticklish for it to be successful.

vman's sister left for Thailand today. her flight will leave 17minutes from now. shes gone for a month to learn Mu Thai there, a form of martial arts. wow. i wish i could be as independent as that.

as i write this blog i listen to dr. dre's 'xxplosive'. i love this beat, its so gansta with the high pitch guitar bend, i dont think i can get enough of it 'when i met you last night baby, i blew your mind'. i downloaded 29seconds of that song on vman's phone and assigned it to my phone number so it plays when i ring him. i also love the song by tupac 'never had a friend like me'. the beats i tend to love have guitar playing in the background, usually the same notes over and over again. its weird how i dont get sick of guitar repetitivness when i cant stand the doof repetitiveness of techno music. that just does my head in. other good beats with a guitar in the back ground:

- Angie Martinez 'If I Can Go'

- Fabolous and Tamia 'Can't Let You Go'

- Baby Bash and Frankie J 'Suga Suga'

- Method Man 'Gotta Have'

i find these songs so laid back and cruisey, perfect for a lazy sunny afternoon as the orange yellow sun sets. perfect for a fruity cocktail overlooking the beach from a high rise pent house. ohhh how im influenced by these hip hop film clips. thats the life i wanna live.

Xxplosive - Dr. Dre & Nate Dogg

Perhaps i will save this photo to my desktop to remind me where i wanna end up.

back to reality. and so is sheila. that's wat her facebook nic says. fkn shattered. id be too. thats how you feel coming back from a mad holiday. depressed. leave the dreamlife behind and snap back to reality. i wonder when it can always be the dreamlife.

work tmrw. its a short 6-9pm shift with nadya, my favorite working buddy. after that i am finally going out for the night. woo hoo. i love getting dressed up and in heels. it adds to the whole experience. vman says tmrw is one year since i meet him at hush. one year already? it doesnt feel like it, feels like we met just a few months ago. its good that way, it keeps us fresh and young. i dont have anything pretty and new to wear tomorrow. i have plenty of heels that i havent worn, but im lacking in the sophisticated night time dress department. its time for me to buy another little black dress. my one and only got ruined in QLD when i washed it with a fluffy white towel. now my dress has white fluff stuck to it and the only way i can get rid of it is to cut it off with scissors. cb.

i want a tattoo. one that spans from across my back to the top part of my arm and shoulder. or perhaps a meaningful quote, written in Edwardian script across the top part of my back. but then i wouldnt see it?

What a Beautiful Day!

The weather was perfect! The sun, nice and yellow, shining gently on my skin. It was pleasantly warm with a light breeze of no cooler or warmer temperature. MMM it was good.

I woke up early (7:30am) to catch a 8:22am train at watergardens. I have 30minutes before i leave my house. I need 20 minutes to do makeup, hair and figure out what i wanna wear, 10 minutes to eat and quickly brush my teeth. My bag should be packed the night before so i dont waste time packing it or making my baon. I like to take some time getting ready and sometimes i dont wear the first outfit i put on. but changing several outfits means less eating time. When i dont stick to my time limits i end up having to run for the train as soon as mum drops me off at the station. Sometimes i make it, and when i get on the train i cant breathe for 2minutes. Today, I did not make the train. and what pisses me off the most is that i get shit from mum for the whole ride there, i hate her and her 'SEE?? I TOLD YOU SOO!' 's they just get on my nerves. Hypocrite.

Well it didnt matter that i missed my flinders street train. because my sandringham train was late 20minutes. so i was about 15minutes late for my 1hr lecture that prolly went for 15minutes overtime anyway. so boring. since im repeating the subjects i failed last year, im hearing the same information and the same jokes from the same guy all over again. I was quite impressed how he could memorise the jokes, i feel somewhat betrayed that each lecture isnt taylored to each lecture group. the lecturer is very convincing at being interested presenting the same material over and over again.

When i came out of the room, i found some pleasant surprises outside in the uni courtyard. FREE icecream with chocolate topping, FREE sherbet sticks, FREE airbrush tattoos, and $12 posters. I bought two, 1 for a present 1 for me of the Tiananmen Square scene where a man stood infront of a line of tanks as a war protest. I love this photo, it means so much to me. I think it could speak for itself.

Tiananmen Square

June 5th - 1989

I think that caption destroys the poster. I dont want to read words when i look at a photo, i wanna read the photo by myself. I think the words are distracting. I asked the poster sales guy, if they had a version where the photograph wasnt cropped out. I've seen a zoomed out version of this photo, its much better because there are more tanks lined up. And the last tank isn't in line with the rest. the version below would've been better even.

Anyways, here are the pictures of my fake tatts. I got two =] you should seen the look on my mums face when she saw the one on my back! hahah. she did a double take!

So Lazy

today its 45degrees its prolly still 27degrees right now and i cbf doing anything but sitting on my ass watching toni braxton on youtube. i also need to do some homework but all i can put in is half my effort. this weather really makes my eyes droopy even though i've had ample sleep last night and even a 2hour nap before. tmrw is 36degrees not as hot as today. hopefully the trains wont be cancelled tmrw because ill be in the city.

Ears

This time last year. i havent been on the internet for over 2weeks now, since my wireless connection wasn't connecting! and i couldnt be bothered fixing it because i didnt have an administration password on my downstairs computer. dont worry, its still not fixed. today we booked the tickets to SYDNEY and QUEENSLAND. 10days and 9 nights in total, first jetting off to Sydney, staying on George Street. I LOOOVE sydney and i cant wait to get back there. It's gonna be everything I know it will be, exciting, adrenaline-rushing, bright-lights and activities. We plan to climb the harbour bridge, speed boat around darling harbour, take a double decker train, monorail, visit the little chinese garden and the powerhouse museum and SHOPPING. after 5nights we jet off to the Goldcoast where we will visit MovieWorld and Wet 'n' Wild. and thats about it. I dont really know what to expect in QLD but we shall see in time. We leave january 29th and come back Feb 6th. ill miss two days of summer classes hopefully i can catchup before hand. My earlobes are red and sore from my unbelievably heavy earrings that I bought from Diva for $5. poor little holes, how u suffer for beauty.
