whatever turns you on

'WHATEVER TURNS YOU ON'. Ever since Jonathan said it in HOI tute, it's become my favorite phrase. Haha... I try to fit it into so many sentences and it totally makes no sense at all.

OH! People actually miss me! And here I thought nobody would remember me... haha. Yeah, Sophie, I'll meet up with you when I get back. :0) same number?

Oh, peeling. Hmm... well, we're supposed to come back from the dead.. and so Jack wanted us to get off the grounds in an 'artistic' way... so we decided to peel ourselves off the ground. Yup yup.

I got thru another Wednesday! I'm so happy. Wednesdays are my pain in the ass days because I have all tutes!!! I mean, they're really not that bad when I'm actually in class... but yeah. Just the thought of being there really annoys me.

Accounting isn't actually as bad as I make it out to be. I try to be rational about it... but I just keep having these sick feelings whenever I think about it. But anyway. Lit was okay... during class time, I flipped over the 'diary of a madman' book and behind it said 'translated by Ronald...Err something' and so I covered the 'ald' of 'Ronald' and showed it to Liz... who whacked me when she saw it. It caused me to go 'OW!' pretty loudly. And Mike was like 'No violence in class!' Hur hur. Okay. U probably gotta be there to think its funny.

I went to watch a drama performance at fourth period. It was a good laugh. Yeah... mine's tomorrow... I think we practised so many times that we're kinda sick of our drama. Heh. Oh wells. After that, Kev, Nick and I went to grab a bite in the Union House. And I got some bubble tea. I feel so cheated. The pearls were so tiny! I want BIG pearls!

Then we had drama practice in College Square... which kinda reminds me. I think I'll make an appointment to get my learner's on saturday. Need to study study study.

Okay okay better go off now.

OHHHHH SEASON 3

YES YES YES!!! MY MUM FINALLY DELIVERED SEASON 3 OF 24!!

I am absolutely esctatic! Yes!!! OHHHH!

After lunch, Kylie came to pick me up and we went down to Marybinougn (is that how u spell it?) yeah, anyhow, I went to taylor my pants.. woot! and Yeah, she passed me some of the stuff that my mumster sent over. Yay... my LesportSac bag is finally here. so happy and she sent me another Ralph Lauren shirt. Double yayness!

I can't wait to go back to singapore! I LOOOOOVEEE SINGAPORE!! yeah, people don't realise how good it is until they go away.

I mean, I feel like an orphan here and the only direct relative I have is my bro and visiting times are like... every 3 weeks. Haha. But yeah. It's nice to see family. :0)...

Tuesday

I have come to a conclusion that I hate coming up with titles for my entries. It's lame. I mean, we can't always be thinking of titles for the days of our lives.... sometimes our days don't have anythingt particulary more significant than anything else. It wouldn't be fair to one event if we name the day's entry after another event if they are of equal importance! Yeah sure, whatever.

It was really windy today... like... the kind of wind that can topple you over. Luckily for me, I'm heavy. Which is reminds me. I dreamt that I was 100 Kg. can you believe it? I was so freaked out in the morning.

Anyways... woke up later than usual. At 8.00 am. well, that was the official time I got out of bed. It seems to me that I've been waking up later and later. I don't know why.

Okay, so first ups was HOI tute, which means drama watching time. Vee was performing today. I think her group's drama was really intriguing. A bit like 'the Others'...you know, the Nicole Kidman movie. Yeah. Then I went to the Leeper Library with KJ, Gavin and Carol. And we had our usually bantering in the tute room about all kinds of nonsense. It's funny how KJ thought I wasn't Christian because he was like 'You don't wear a cross'. And I'm like... 'well, a lot of Christians don't wear crosses.' and he was all 'and you're like the only Christian I know who hasn't tried to convert me'. Oh. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But I don't know... I just don't like to impose my religion on other people because I wouldn't want someone doing the same to me... not that anyone's done that to me.

Anyhow, I had HOI lecture after that. HOI back to back! It makes Tuesday one of my fave days because I have so much HOI. It was kinda surprising because Jonathan was taking lecture today... and he looked so disappointed that so little people came for lecture. I felt quite bad... even though I was there. He actually counted and there were like 20 people. I guess it's because everyone thought Tamar was taking lecture today. I don't know why people don't wanna go for Tamar's lecture. I find it really interesting... all that stuff about aristocracy and stuff. It helps us understand why things are the way they are now.

Oh wells... time for me to sign off. BUBBYE.

Peeeling makes perfect!

It's quite sad... the guy who wrote the poem in one of my previous entries -- W.H. Auden. He's gay. Sigh. Oh wells... how?

Yesterday, I went for Drama practice at Grattan. It was such a waste of time!! (Actually the past 3 practices were time wasters, bugger) Anyway, yah. But we did get to do some peeling. PEELING MAKES PERFECT! I just hope we're not complacent or anything.

Went for lunch with Jas and Hilda... I don't know why but I seem to have a lot of med friends. Why? Why? Where have all you arty farty people gone to? ah weellls.

Then I had dinner with Chris and Dan. We make the worse eggs ever. But the French toast was pretty good. All thanks to Dan. :0). despite the fact that we forgot oil. Quite sad.

Trinity Idol Pics!!!

Kevin and I and Milene and I!! He looks so cute!!! Whahaha!! You did soooooo wellll you guys!!!!

Good day?

I'm so happy! :0)

Finally, got tickets to Trinity Idol! Yay! Thanks Milene!

Went for M&C tute just now. I was quite unresponsive at the first part of the lesson... because everyone else was answering stuff and I felt like I didn't need to say anything. Plus my brain refused to function. I couldn't even answer an easy question like 'why do you think they don't show the face of the jaguar lady?'...ehhhh. yeah. I don't know. So I just kept quiet and stared at the picture until Fiona answered it for me. So good, it took his attention away from me so I could continue my wonderfool doodling.

Well, we got round to talking about pump, the drink. And Ron was like saying something about why buy water if you can get it from the tap. Even though I know the water's clean... I can't drink it! I can be quite paranoid about water sometimes. When I was kid, I HAD to drink warm water. Which means, I would take boiled water and mix it with boiling water before I would drink it. And I was like 'Well, in Singapore, we have reversed osmosis water. Which means it comes from shit." I don't know if he thinks it means the water tastes like shit or it comes from shit. I meant the latter. Newater probably tastes normal and its probably more nutrious or whatever but yeah... I still have an icky feeling about it.

Anyhow, we got into our 'the Pitch' groups and I got Ryan and Jac again! Welcome back team. Haha, you got me again! Lalalala. Plus we have 2 new additions to our group. 5 people! That's big man. Anyways, guess what our advertising company is called? Yes! It's 'THE CRASH FACULTY'! hmmmm why does that sound so familiar? Yeah, Ronnie thought it was clever... yay! All thanks to me!!!!! weeeeeeeee!! *applause* Sorry. I'm very very tired.

Okay, anyhow, Ryan and I went to safeway and I finally recharged my phone. Bought some ricotta cheese and some yummy strawberries. They are soooo big and soooo cheap!! YUM YUM YUM! alrighty, best be going now! ta!

bad day

Today was not a good day at all!! well, it wasn't entirely bad I must say...

To start off, i woke up 15 minutes late!! Yikes! and I was slightly late for class... and it was my oral presentation today! But fortunately we started late, so whew!

I planned to get the Idol tickets... but like, my next class didn't start till after lunch and yah, so I went home and decided to go back to Swanston Street later but I overslept!! so I spent half an hour trying to get ppl to help me get tickets but no luck!!! :0(

Then, I went to Grattan and hurt myself while wrestling with Nick (not my brother) for the hairdryer. Yeah and Jack scolded us (the drama group) for being late. But we weren't late, our other group members were. That old meanie! But Jack said we could get outside Trinity people to come and watch our real performance. Maybe I can get my bro to come and watch.

But Nick, being all nice and seeing how horrid my day was, treated me to cake in Tiamo. YUMMM! Was probably the best tiramisu I have ever had! (Considering I hardly order Tiramisu) Thanks Nick!

Okay. So yes... oh well, my day will soon be all over... and it will be Friday! And I only have one period! Yay!!! And its my second favorite subject after HOI.

He was my North, my South, my East, my West.
My woring week and my Sunday rest.
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song.
I thought love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now, put out every one.
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun.
Pour out the ocean and sweep up the wood,
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

-W.H. Auden

I feel a connection to this poem... it's not the full thing but you know, sometimes when you hear something and maybe it might not be beautiful to someone else but I think the beauty of song and poetry is the connection you can make to it. It compels us and draws us to it.

oh, to your right is an editted picture of Bern, Dan, Huiwen, Steph and me outside the parliament house.

a weekend in the life of me

The weekend went by so incredibly quick! What a shame...

Anyhow, Sunday was a busy busy day. Went to church in the morning and then to Melbourne University Open day. Was alright I suppose. Huiwen and I went to get free lunch. :0) and free popcorn. The media and communications info session was useless. didn't get much from it.

Afterwhich, I arrived early for drama meeting. Drama was fun, surprisingly, I usually hate it. Yeah, I get this really sickening feeling (just like accounting) when I have to attend it. But yeah, my group has pretty much got out act together. But my falling into the bathtub and dying scene is quite painful when I don't land all proper and all.

Came back and went to Steph's room where I took a nap and woke up to make dinner with Huiwen. We didn't stop talking that night... we must have talked for about 5 hours. Steph came over to my place to finish her HOI, while I editted my accounting. Tried to watch a movie but my stupid comp kept lagging... oh well. So I fell asleep but kept waking up to the sound of Steph's dramatic typing and then of course, the printer. Oh boy. Yeah, anyways... I didn't actually get to really sleep till about.. was it nearly 4 a.m.? Yup. Tragic.

Today, we had drama meeting again and we ended up doing crossword puzzles in Grattan. I think we've pretty much exhuasted the entire entertainment section of the newspaper. Then we went for M&C lecture... yay. Haha. I was sitting in the middle this time... so hard to see the slides.

Accounting was as usual. nothing much to talk about. its the class i most reluctantly want to attend. But surprisingly, EAP was quite entertaining. It was presentation day today. I shall be presenting on Voluntary Student Unionism on Thursday. Crap! Tim and I were fighting for Rupert Murdoch as our next presentation topic... I won. Haha. But I said I'd trade him Rupert Murdoch for Broadwalk as a joke. :0P... very monopoly-ish.

And so, here I am. typing and waiting for dinner...

welcome to my blog. Why do I have a new blog? Well, I lost the password to my old one and since I'm not doing anything, I might as well write about my day so y'all can read about it.

Today, saturday it is. I woke up at 8.45am to find myself in Steph's room. Of course I was fully aware that I had slept there last night. I was accompanying her with her HOI. That lucky girl. I wish I had asked for an extension too... but it didn't even cross my mind to ask Jon for one. So I handed in a crappy one-nighter essay. And I saw him looking auite pleased that I was handing up my essay so early in the morn... but he is going to be so disappointed when he marks it. I actually started on Saturday, not progressing very much because it was so boring. Anyhow, I'll be sleeping in Steph's place again tonight, hopefully we'll get House from the video store later.

After breakfast, I accompanied Milene down to Richmond to get some stuff for her room... which I so wonderfully helped to assemble when we got back. Yeah... I was hoping to see a certain someone in Richmond, as creepy and stalker-ish as it sounds. But I suppose hoping to see someone isn't the same as stalking him.

The tram ride back was really crappy. I felt like puking because the tram kept pausing.

I packed up my room finally. It was like some kind of armadillo came out of my closet and thrashed up the room or something. There was papers all over the floor, not to mention clothes and bags and stationery. It was the product of having 5 essays to write. I swear, it was like a marathon. I was camping out on the floor for a period of time.

Anyways, essays all completed. Am relieved. One exam to go. Literature... and I haven't even read the text! Geeeez. Frankenstein, here I come!
