Haw haw.

Sup Gee

So right now I’m on this huge as mega hiatus lately from tumblr and life itself (NB. Tumblr is not the equivalent of life itself) and that is because I’ve been in Sydney for this past week!

I shall blog about my trips and stuffs like that when I have the time to, I mean seriously, right now I’m using some sort of plug in USB internet thing and I can’t go psycho and use up all the data on tumblr. Harr harr.

At this precise moment, I’m sitting on the mattress on the floor of my little cousin’s room and I can hear him say “Shut Up!”. That silly, obnoxious kid….

Anyhow, tomorrow I’ll be boarding a flight to Melbourne and I shall have super duper heaps of fun (as much as possible, I hope).

So I shall post things (spam, more like) like a billion times a day when I get back to Brisbane.

Ciao everyone!

a new career scope...?

So yesterday I was in the kitchen cooking and preparing to make fettucine carbonara right? Until I got kinda peckish and decided to look in the fridge for food and I found …. –drumroll-

PRAWNS.

Oh my god. Prawns! You never see a bowl of fresh prawns in the fridge and so I just sat there and dogged all my cooking responsibilities and just sat there and peeled prawns and ate them and I ate about half of them.

But eating the prawns isn’t the point about this, you see…

Because while I was eating these prawns I was in some sort of mental trance or something else as dumb as that and I was just thinking.. one though after another and it was like so much brain powerrrrrrrr! Haha I kid

But yeah, I was just spacing out and thinking while.. uhh.. eating prawns.

And I thought about university, what I’m studying at the moment and I thought .. Okay, so right now I’m studying business and psychology as a double degree and I thought ‘Yeah, I’m gonna try and get into human resources and its gonna be awesome working with people and other things that HR does that I haven’t found out about yet’. So to me, it just sounds really appealing working in HR.

But then I thought about these holidays and how I’ve been planning so many parties, get togethers, reunions, birthdays, those kinds of things. And I thought… maybe… I’m good at being anal and planning things.

So it struck me, that what if I took up event planning as a career? What does it involve? What do I do? The first things that came to mind was stuff like funeral planning and wedding planners… but I’m not too sure… I’ll have to look some of this up…

Event planning seems a lot like human resources though. Considering in really large companies the HR departments tends to organise trips or events that’ll keep the employees motivated to work and its all about positive psychology in the workplace and that… but maybe event planning is more suitable for me?

I’m not sure, I’ll have to look up this stuff on the uni website and what courses I have to study to get into such a career… But then again, there doesn’t seem to be much demand of event planning here in Australia since event planning has always seemed more of an American thing since they’re always so time constrained and money rich, you know?

Hmm.. I’ll have to do some research on this.

But while eating prawns, this kind of subtle epiphany doesn’t happen too often. I’m glad it did, I’m a lot more open minded to the idea now :)

DogDay & ToDay



30 Dec

DOG – DAY
Last day of spring.

Harry potter, shopping at myer (Jessie & storm), funhouse (mr. fluffy) and borders (Shakespeare). Yeah dog day was epic.

1 Nov
First day of summer.

Village with andypandy and alex. Maccas, crazy clarks, bought aquarium things & a background and a huge as mega slushie, watched kdrama ‘you’re beautiful’. Damn it was a good day.

Can’t be bothered explaining stuff… too tired and sleepy from this tea…

Byebye.

My book fetish ;)



You know.. someone once asked me how many books I own. And at the time, I actually didn’t know.

But I’ve cleaned up my bookshelf, arranged all my reading books alphabetically by author and seriously tidied up the whole entire bookshelf (I can’t say the same for my room though). But I just finished and I counted all the reading books I own and the official count is fifty-two!

But that’s excluding all the children’s books (eg. Guess how I much I love you – the four piece season set) and the picture books (Graeme Base! ♥)

Phew… I spent the day cleaning the oven today as well… God it smelt like crap. Seriously. And I think I might have tasted some of that oven cleaning spray/fluid thing because it was burning my eyes and my mouth tasted like shit for half an hour. Yuck.

Tomorrow I tidy up my desk and start filing away old uni lecture notes and assignments (I’ve already filed away half of them). Yeah, I can be really anal about my books.

I dunno if I’ve ever told anyone before but I’m not the superstitious type or anything, but I’m really superstitious about anything regarding books.

I’m not sure I know all the superstitions about books but my mother always told me never to step on books because it ruins your knowledge and learning or something similar, something like disrespecting the book. You can imagine my face if I ever step on a book. It’s pretty dramatic (in my head).

I hate breaking the spine of my books too. Like… I take so much care how I hold the book so that the spine doesn’t crack…. I hate being so reckless with my books.

I remember once in primary school I was reading a book and I had to put it down to help my friend do something and I put the open book face down on the table. And just that moment, the librarian walks in and asks ‘Who’s book is that and why did they leave it there like that?!’ And I was a total bookworm when I was a kid.

(I got an award for the most books read in a year and I visited the library every afternoon. And not only did I borrow books from the school library and the public library but I borrowed books from my Scottish teacher Mrs. Choo who had a subscription to the Horrible Histories magazines.)

Immediately after hearing the librarian say that my heart literally sank and I was so embarrassed and ashamed of myself for treating a book like that. Now I’m just seriously anal about the way I treat my books. I even tag them… with a little pink sticker of a teddy bear part of a sticker book just to show that they’re MY books and no one else’s.

I remember once I was in Vietnam and my little cousin was reading a childrens book too and he couldn’t read a word and so he got mad and threw the book and started jumping on it! I remember raging and I was all ‘NO, DON’T DO THAT TO THE BOOK, YOU’LL RUIN YOUR CHANCES OF LEARNING’. My cousin was about 6 years old, and I was about 14 years old.
I guess I’ve always been anal about books. Hahaha

Well ciao everyone! I’m gonna sit on my butt and do the usual stuff (ie. Surf the net, watch ranma, be a bum etc)

PS. Did I also mention I fell out of bed this morning? HaiYen called me about going to Sunnybank tonight and I got up out of bed so fast I fell because my foot was caught in my quilt. Silly me >_>

Has anyone seen this?

This is tonematrix and it is so freakishly epicly awesome.

You click/drag your mouse over the squares and you can make pictures and music using it. It's so cool!

For me, it reminds me a little of the sound of rain. What do you think?

The face I make when mum gives me chores to do on the holidays.

dun dun dunnnnnnnn...

Woke up this morning to a text from paris asking to meet up at inala to pick up my birthday gift and hang out for bubble teaaaaaaaa!

So I got up and rushed and pissed my pants getting the bus stop on time to inala, but I missed the bus by two minute and had to sit around for half an hour waiting for the next bus = =

But I met up with her and we had bubble tea together and I opened the gift which was a very lovely clock on a wooden board with some sort of inscriptions, a butterfly and lavender painted on it. It was so pretty and so very nice of her :)

We shopped for a beach ball and talked about stuffs and went to centrelink with paris and her aunt to do stuffs and later met up with Yvonne and they headed off to indro to go shopping while I had to go find my mother so that she could drive me home. –cringe- (I swear mum didn't believe me when I told her I was with Paris.. sheesh)

But turns out we were heading to lena’s place and so I just hung out with lena for the whole entire day watching Julie & Julia, walking around the lake and feeding ducks stale bread and basically just being idiots haha it was rather fun.

Then lena drove me home and picked up max so he could stay over her place. And…. I was left outside my place… for almost an hour. Parents weren’t home yet and I didn’t have the keys to my house so I was locked out for quite a while and I really needed to pee and talk to paris (she wasn’t feeling well). So yeahhh…

But everythings alright now.

My vision is kinda blurry at the moment though, probably because I’m so tired.
I’ve been sneezing and all… I just sneezed twice just then. But yeah, I’ve been sneezing all day (I just sneezed twice again just then). I think I might be getting sick or something as equally ridiculous… Ugh.

Oh came home today and Vy left a gift at my place too. I shall open it now…
Hold on.

ZOMG. They’re SPEAKERS.

Edifier brand speakers, M1250. Ooohh…. Prettyyy shall try them out tomorrow morning. I think I’m gonna clean up the mess I made with the wrapping paper… hehe

Ciao everyone!

Sleep...

I had a dream last night where I was going to die. I always have dreams where I always end up dead.

This little boy was coming to stab me to death. He carried a decent sized knife.

He came close to killing me. Cut my hand, my legs and the back of my neck. ‘Marking’ me, so that he’d remember to come after me again he said.

I’m afraid to go to bed tonight.

Flora



It’s some girl’s birthday today and she got a bouquet of roses.

Roses are lovely and all but they die real quick.

I prefer prancing around in a field of dandelions and those tiny budding yellow flowers. They might be weeds but they’re gorgeous.

Although, personally, I really like roses and the lily of the valley. ...And those tiny yellow flowers of course. :)

Oh Dear...


Crinnnnnge....
Wrote this last night...

So I was reading my stupid trashy magazine and I don’t know what kind of mood I was in. But I was reading an article about stories of how people met and got married. And I kinda thought, ‘Hey, that’s a nice story, I wonder how mine will work out’

Hmm.. maybe it’ll never even work out. I’ll turn into a crazy dog lady! (because I don’t favour cats as much as dogs).

But I kinda thought… ‘Eh, I’ve been keeping it inside me for a while, I need to put this down somewhere’ so this is probably going to be the worst, most, single mushy girly crappy post I’ll ever write in my whole entire lifetime (that isn’t spewing with happiness and smiles).
If I ever get married…

We’d have a history. Our own story to tell, how we met, how we got together, the troubles we’ve been through, the arguments, the complications… everything. And when life is all over and done with, that story is going to be the only one I’ll never tell to anyone else but that significant other.

We’d play the ‘Penis’ game together. For as long as possible, or until we lose our voices.

We’d teach each other, learn from each other.

We’d cook, play video games, watch the clouds go by together.

Share the love of pokemon (and Pikachu, specifically).

We’d share secrets, our own personal jokes. We’d say the stupidest things to each other.

I think it’d be adorable… if my guy got on one knee and said ‘Pikachu, I choose you!’

I know I’d forget from time to time, but I know I’d be very lucky to have someone like him.

He’d put up with my stupid, unreasonable habits, mental associations and my stubbornness.

The wedding would be at Maleny Manor at dawn. The photographer would be Max Wanger.

The honeymoon would last a lifetime.

But in terms of travel, we’d go to Paris for love and breadsticks, London for the city lights and fine cuisine, Italy for pasta and the architecture, Rome for the wishes, hope and art, Greece for the weather and beaches, Japan for the sushi and culture.

Then after that we’d go relax at Cayo Espanto off the coast of San Pedro, Belize in Central America.

Have a few children, a dog or two.

We’d be so horribly fond of each other.

And I’d love who I am with you. Whoever you are.


Something like that. Maybe. I wouldn’t complain.

Was gonna... but not anymore


Formal photos came out as well.

And I was gonna post something here tonight... But it's really crappy and mushy... And I'm too wussy to post anything like that... And it's awfully personal.. So I'd rather not for now..

I swear, I really hope no one reads this anymore. I like being anonymous.

Blob

^My pretend-to-look-good face

Gosh

Went to Inala today to run errands with the mother and ended up buying a magazine & tekken 6 on PS3.

Will trade social life for couch time playing Tekken.

The magazine however, was a total waste of money. $8.50. Goddamnit, why’d I even buy it? Oh duh ‘Oh it’s the holidays, I haven’t touched a magazine in a year, lets buy one for the hell of it’
Tch, I’m going to finish Memoirs of a Geisha.

The artificial colours of make up, clothes, celebrities and fake shit hurt my eyes.

Anyhow, I need to post some pics of clubbing at KK yesterday night here. I wish Yo would put some photos up, I want to see themmm! Rahr.

Will post some photos tomorrow… Gah, blogger takes ages to post photos though :(

Alrighty, I’m off to bed. I feel so stoned after reading that magazine. I swear my neck even hurts straining to look at all that photoshopped crap.

Ciao.

OHMYGAHHHHH... Flub


OHMYGOODNESS

I was meant to write things up here but I got this sudden wave of laziness and I’ve been resorted to watching futurama and movies and lying in bed until midday doing literally nothing. I’m not even reading my books.

…. WHYYYYYYYYY. I wanted to read but I’M SO FAT AND LAZY.

Anyhow.

Gosh how long ago was this… -opens daily planner-

16 Nov
Jason’s formal.

Met up at southbank, strolled around looking like a bunch of douchebags with my mother and took photos of things and stuffs like that. Took a horse carriage to the Citigate hotel and had fuuuuuuuun! Reception was really nice, met some of Jason’s school friends (of whom I’ve never mentally recalled their names before) and Annie! That girl is so sweet (and badass) hahaha

Speeches, buffet dinner and danced the night away. The formal was so much fun! I wasn’t really expecting anything (because my formal was kinda bad) but it was fun! And my feet really hurt by the end of the night.

Nomnomnom.

18 Nov

Woke up at like 10.30am with a text message from Nghi. I first heard my phone vibrate under my pillow and I was like ‘EURGHHHH.. NO… LEMME SLEEP’. But I picked up anyway just in case it was something important, and I’m glad I did too! Nghi texted asking if I was doing anything later in the day and that we should totally go shopping haha.

So I was running a bit late when I got to the city but when I got there Nghi was with YO! My twinnnnnn! Gah, I love them both so much ♥

So chyeah, ran into them outside starbucks with this guy called Daniel and he was very nice and visiting from Sydney! Isn’t that lovely?!

So yeah, we went shopping here and around for gifts for Nghi and then went to Hazel tea and literally stayed there for like two hours playing UNO and Jenga.

Dude, we seriously built the highest tower in Jenga haha it was the best. Then later this Anthony guy came and joined us and he was super cool too. And he’s from Sydney too :)

So then after bubble tea and much mental conspiracy over Jenga, we went to walk around and let Daniel sight see the UQ dental building and here and there. It was pretty awesome because I hadn’t even seen some parts of the city!

And so chyeah, after a lot of walking we got really tired and decided to head to Fat Louie’s for a few drinks. Hurrhurr, I’m horrible at that dice drinking game… :(

I was so confused and with the alcohol, it kinda made my head spin more than it should have haha but then after Yo pwnd us all, we karaoked at Fat Louie’s and Anthony shouted us a round of drinks. Haha Those guys are the best xD

Then after that we strolled around some more and then headed to southbank to stroll around to Max Brenner! But the line was too long so we went ice cream shop hunting and found Gelato (which wasn’t the BSA sponsored ice cream shop we were looking for) and finally found Movenpick (the one we were looking for) and had a shared plate of six scoops of deliciously decadent ice cream. My god… It’s so GOOD.

Then after that we kinda all headed home because we were exhausted and full of ice cream :)

19 Nov

FLC GRADUATION

MY GODDDDDDDDD, I LOVE YOU FLC. Everyone cried. It was adorable. The most unlikely people were crying and it was just epic! Hahaha, I had to sit outside the school for like an hour because the ceremony was running a little late but saw a few people outside so I said hello to Quynh and Sarah and it was so cooooooooool! Then hugged and took photos with everyone else and it was all very nostalgic :)

Then saw david and had a whole BOOHOO-make a scene- kinda thing going on before he dragged me back into school to say hello to Thuong and it was so awesome seeing everyone again :)

Got to see EVERYONNNNNE and David hugged the school. Like literally got on the ground and hugged the school… So I sat on him and took a photo. And everyone around us crowded around and took a photo too. Isn’t FLC just the loveliest family ever? :)

Then after that we went to Maccas to get ice cream and waited for the bus and headed to the cityyyyyyy. Met up with Nhu and Jason and had congratulatory hugs and went to karaoke and fully belted out every song. It was epic.

Then after that I had to spring to the bus stop to get my ass to sunnybank for dad’s birthday dinner at buffet. Teehee, ran into My-Lynn at buffet too (lena didn’t seem awfully happy when I said hello though…) AND… Get this. Chi Hien My and Anh Huu as well! It was the greatest! :D
Chyeahhhhh, then after dinner we all went to the funhouse and went totally crazy and it was an epic day. Haha

21 Nov

In the middle of the day mum’s like ‘LETS GO SHOPPINGZORZ’.

Well she didn’t say it quite like that precisely… But you get what I mean

But ran into Nhu and her mummy shopping and I crashed with Nhu for the day :)
During the shopping trip I bought Keds (my first ever pair!), a singlet and a pair of shorts hurrhurr, I’m going to be so broke :)

And was a lazy bum all day pretty much.

22 Nov (TODAY)

Read my book. Sat on my ass. Watched futurama & Ranma. Zomg my download finally finished! I’ve got all the episodes and movies of Ranma! –social life goes and dies-

And I should be doing chores later on… Because I gotta shower and get ready to go clubbing tonight! Yay! First time at KK… I hope I know what I’m doing.. Hehe

Gonna meet up with Nhu and Kerming early in the night first though… so we can play tekken… hehehe Then hit up fat louie’s maybe karaoke then KK later on in the night…

I hear its going to be crowded though and Lena’s all ‘we gotta go early or there will be a big line’ which sort of translates into ‘I don’t really wanna sit around playing tekken and talking’ but nehhh…

Oh guess what? Tonight, an ex boyfriend will be around! Woohoo! haha haven’t seen him in YEARS… Say… two or three years now? It’ll be nice to see him again and ask how he’s doing haha

Yayyyyy I get to see Yo tonight too maybe if we run into him. Teehee us twins are the best :) Can you believe they tried to sell us off to the strip club on Thursday night? The guys were like ‘WE’RE SELLING THE TWINS TO THE STRIPCLUB, A PACKAGE DEAL!’ Damn those assholes. Hahaha!

Well I gotta get up off my ass now and do something useful maybe. Haha keyword, maybe. Hahah

Ciao!

ALSO, you can see the formal photos at my PUBLIC blog, here.

bow chikka wow wow

I am the bomb.
Hahaha



Went to Mabel Park formal last night, and it was awesome. Seriously. Harr harr, shall upload pics and put up things later when I can find my camera and stuff, but for now I think I gotta go do some chores and prance around in my underpants.




Yeah, I'm not wearing any pants ;)

Sup.

So like, Saturday night we had a party yeah? A conjoint 18th birthday party at alex’s place where we raved and ate BBQ foods and stuff like that. It was pretty awesome. We hung out, played with sparklers (I failed lighting them), lots of food, groupies of the coolest people ever (sadly, not all my favourite people were there) and lots of ‘HEY, HOWS IT GOING, HAVEN’T SEEN YOU IN FOREVERRRAHHH’ and it was pretty damn awesome.

I got to Alex’s place pretty early, and met Kelly and Lou and we all bummed around helping here and there where we could and Lou did Alex’s makeup and straightened her hair. Then later, I was targeted by them both and got my hair curled for no apparent reason.

After that people started arriving and it was pretty coooooool to meet everyone again. We talked about our battle scars and such long lost memories for a long time. Then there was the food and cake and sparklers.

Then after that we bummed sipping our alcohol-free beverages, and put on our fancy shoes (No, we didn’t throw them at each other, but it would’ve been awesome if we did) and started heading out to the bus to hit up the Met in the Valley.

An hour on the bus and meeting into a bunch of chicks who could sing ‘Hakuna Matata’ and causing an uproar of horrible vocals from our group, we finally reached our destination. Strutting around the city looking for a bus to the valley, we finally arrived at our FINAL destination.

Then more strutting around the crowded streets of the valley, we headed to the Met where bouncers were standing around outside checking our faces on our IDs and making sure we paid the $15 entry fee….

The music was loud, the people were loud, throats became sore throughout the night, drinks were passed around (and expensive, rip off drinks too, might I add). After a drink, we all headed to the Dragon Room and just danced for pretty much two, almost three, hours straight.

After another drink (or two, or three in some cases), some waist groping (thankfully, no ass groping), a few random ‘hello’s, bumping in strangers, stepping on peoples feet, the euphoria on the dance floor was so epic. The lights, music and alcohol really gets to you.

I can understand why people love going clubbing so much. But the pain in my feet and the spinning in my head wanted me home. So we all headed off at 2am, arrived home at about 4am.
Stumbling into the home, the parents were asleep.

The next morning, the questions came rolling in.

Did you drink? What did you drink? How many drinks did you have? Who went? Were there any boys? Was it fun? Did you dance?

So many questions they asked, and such horrible looking eyes I saw in the mirror! (I didn’t remove the mascara before going to bed.)

Chyeah it was a good night.

And also, today went to centrelink, city with Nando, and came home and did more centrelink form filling out crap. Man, it was boring and lame as and made me want to die.

But seeing Yo today was really cool. I mean, how many times do you get to run into your twin in the city, no? He says he’s gonna drag me to KK, that super asian twin of mine… I’m so not going to fit in. I’m too much of a loser!

Anyhow, I’m going to go to bed soon, its midnight and I have Jason's formal to attend to tomorrow….
Hair & make up, I have much to sort out before I go to bed actually… Another late night… oh dear….

Reminds me of my formal… forced smiles are horrible.

See you soon people, I hope I don’t suicide from over exposure to centrelink and make up.

Ciao.

upon completion of my first year at uni


^Balloons received on my 16th birthday. The picture on the purple balloon is a diagram of Dinh patting me. Haha.
We used to have a little contest in school, whenever we saw each other the person who patted the other first would win. And we'd sometimes get really competitive about who won hahaha



Well now that exams are officially over, I’m ecstatic! And also miserable, too, but hey you can’t have everything.

But I have now completed my first year at university. My god, how time flies. And now it’s already the holidays!

I have many plans for the following weeks and its going to be so exciting if mum lets me out and actually lets me do the things that I want/plan to do over these coming holidays.

First things first! TODAY. Zomg, I had my stats exam today and it was so not fun…. Gave me the hugest headache in the world and I literally could not see the words on the paper in front of me. Thank god I brought my glasses though, but my brain hurt so so much. But I finished the paper in the end…. It was awfully complicated for a few measly calculations… but rah, I wish I could punch the exam paper in the face (if it had one).

Then later met up with Paris, Amanda and Nhu after my exam and we all crashed and went to BWS to buy Tom some JDs as his birthday gift. Then after that we went to go eat sushi and the guys got bored waiting at the guild bar for ages so then we all met up and went to play tekken and waste our lives (and money) on violence.

And then after much tekken time, we finally went to coles to buy meat/steak/salads for the BBQ later at Zach’s place but turns out we were all heading to southbank for the BBQ instead so meh. All the BBQ places were taken so we just walked around and splashed about in the kiddy pools for a while before we settled down onto some grass and literally did nothing but throw slices of bread at each other.

It sucks coz I had to leave before anything fun happened because the mother expected me home early – or risk my chances of going out tomorrow night… but yush, it was sad to leave.
Aaaaaaand tomorrow is Tom’s 19th hurray!

I think it’s time for bed now… I’m exhausted…

I have many quiches to bake tomorrow and a lot of sleep to catch up on… I wish I had better time management, so then I could fit in sleep and study at the same time but alas, I cannot. And therefore stay up until the early hours of the morning for no good reason at all.

Well, goodnight. Ciao.

LOOOOOOOL

I love Calvin & Hobbes and economics. Hahahaha, love this comic (because I actually understand the economic theory of demand and supply behind it). Best academic comic ever xD

threeeeee days of things that happened

Oh yeah! And I forgot to blog about what happened the days following my birthday didn't I? I knew I forgot something. I didn't want to write anything about anything at all on tumblr because I was worried people might be like 'UHH.. THIS GIRL IS AN ARROGANT ASSHOLE'. But I guess writing here isn't so bad.



Sunday night (7 Nov) (HAPPY 19TH NGHI ZOMG)

HaiYen and AiVan came to visit meeeeeeee and came bearing with much happiness, hugs and a package. That package happened to be the one and only, Adidas Vespa collab kicks. (SO PRETTY). Big thanks to Ko and Peter for pitching in, ohmygosh, I love you guys!



We hung out for a while and just talked about crap and caught up with each other. And then me and AiVan went through her oral examination. Teehee, AiVan was roleplaying as a pharmacist and I was the customer with rabies/rashes/sunburn/warts/mites/etc. Then we went on a macca's run for chips. Hehe



Monday (8 Nov)

Woke up at 8am with Alex calling me and saying 'GOOD MORNING HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WE'RE OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE'. She came with pancakes, caramel, a japanese teapot and teacups and a CK tshirt. And we hung out and chilled for a while before they both had to leave because Alex had an exam later in the day :)



Went to Indro with the mother to pick up my new iPhone4 (It's not that big a deal really, its like any other phone only with games and fancy stuff) and then headed out to the city to wander around for a few hours, read my geisha book and shop for books for gifts for Alex and Nghi. Aesops' Fables and The Wind in the Willows, has anyone read the wind in the willows? It seemed like a nice gift for Alex but I have no idea what the book is about hahaha



Then I continued to wander around and then later ran into Nando and Kong and we bummed like bums and went to see a movie and head home.



Tuesday (9 Nov)

Nando came over and we hung out for part of the day and didn't do much at all but it was rather fun anyway haha.



Haha, I have the best friends in the world. :)

So happyyyyyyyyyy! (And sleepy).

Rawwwr! Cram time!


Buahahahaha. I feel so sleepy... but must study... urgh... hardcore study for the tomorrow and the day after... then I'm totally gonna go own that stats exam on friday afternoon and then go crazy with anxiety and happiness afterwards.

Anxiety for the awaiting the final grades and the organising the party. And the happiness for the completion of my first year at university. Gosh, I hope I don't die.

I just got my results from Intro to psych 1B as well.... Urgh... I was two marks away from getting a grade 5... Stupidest thing ever... TWO GRADES. COME ON.

-dies-


At least the past three days have been epic :)

Fishing, getting sunburnt because I was napping. Book shopping, wandering and movie watching on Monday. Nando visiting today.

Rawwwr, life isn't so bad. :)

Walruso

This is Walruso. The creator of this estranged walrus was Nhu back in the days when we were 16 and used to doodle in the margins of our maths books (in the later years, we doodled everywhere on any spare surface of the book, mind you).

He's a walrus with asian eyes and he motivates us to do our math during classes. Isn't he cute? ...In a strange twisted kind of way.

my taxes & errands face

This is how I feel right now.



That's the face I put on when my mother tells me I gotta go do my taxes and run errands with her.



And I mean errands as in, useful time consuming errands that don't involve her buying me food in exchange for my company.

Thursday, November 4, 2010


HAIII MAI NAMES LEANNE. AND I'M HERE TO BLOG ABOUT THE LAME THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO ME THAT YOU HAVE NO INTEREST IN.


Can you believe it's been two and a half years since this blog? How fast time flies! I remember being in my second last year of high school and I wanted to start blogging/writing/rambling because I thought it sounded like a good idea at the time and I felt I really needed to vent.


And what better way than to keep a diary right? But as much as I enjoy hand writing things, it always gets really tiring to always have to hand write everything and it's even more boring when you're handwriting things AND recounting them.


(Remeber those days when you were in primary school and the teacher gave you a whole hour to write a 50 word summary of your weekend and your weekend would actually be imaginary and totally unrealistic? Eg. 'My weekend was fun. I played with my dog and I throwed a frisbee and he catched it. My dog is smart' ...Yeah, I never had a dog. Ever.)


Well, hand writing a recount is just lame, so I decided to start a blog so I could type up my life instead.


Every single candid post in this blog has totally been unedited and left to grow moudly with regret of happy (deluded) and sad (realistic) memories of friends, rivals, academics, old flames and just useless crap, basically.


Looking back on ye old archives in this blog makes me cringe at what a stupid person I am. And I'm not gonna lie, I avoid reading my old posts because I know I'll feel ashamed of myself for thinking with such immaturity!


But nonetheless, I keep posting updates of my crummy self that makes total nonsensical sense.


HOWEVER....

-conspiracy-



There have been a few posts I haven't put up here because they've just been repeats of what I've already posted. But in the span of two and a half years of this blog, there has been something I've kept hidden my own little diary blog.



Because you see, there are these two guys who are really awesome. And stuff happened, and then everything exploded. (Bits and pieces of my brains have exploded and fallen everywhere and I don't have much capacity to think, let alone deal with interpersonal conflicts.)



But I'm not going to elaborate because I know I'm going to look back on this one day and think 'My God, was I messed up or what?!'



Eh. Oh well.



Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. This wasn't a post so that I could fill in on any missing details. This post was so acknowledge the passive awesomeness of this blog and how long it's been with me over the years (and many more years to come I'm afraid, because I'm still too lazy to handwrite in a diary).


So, Blog, Man tits, selfcondition.blogspot.com, thisasian, whatever you prefer to be called (personally, I prefer mantits the most) you have been such an epic passive little thing thats kept me alive over these years. You are my own personal autobiography and I love you. What would I do without you?


You serve me as a calendar of the past, remind me of upcoming dates, preserve memories and make me cringe. You're like the best daily planner I ever had minus the time schedules and the boring class timetables!


You're the best.



Kudos, Mantits.



Ciao ♥

Looking back on this blog over the past two years, reading it again makes me cringe at what a stupid naive person I am.

But I guess we're to learn from our mistakes, yes?

I wonder what kinds of mistakes I'm going to make this time.

Oh... another thing dear blog, I think I'm going away this holiday.

one year of stories and memories



Hello life
Nice seeing you again!

and it was a very nice day out with jasonface yesterday!

It might not have been the best day ever because of whats happened a few days back, but it was still very very very nice indeed.

It was our first anniversary, you see. It’s been exactly one year together, and what a year its been!

And to celebrate we spent the day together. we went to dome for breakfast, eggs hollandaise and atlantic salmon for me and the ‘big breakfast’ for him and two hot chocolates between us. Breakfast was especially yummy that day because I was so hungry… I hadn’t slept and eaten well for a few days and so food tasted especially good that morning.

And then after that we walked to someplace and Jason wouldn’t tell me where.

Turns out it was the gardens and he’d stopped into a shop to buy some bread to feed megaduck and his friends the ibii (or ibises) and his other ducky friends! Too bad it rained a bit because the ground was wet and a bit yucky and we fed the ducks and ibises and Jason even managed to pick up a baby ibis! It was awesome, I wish I’d taken a photo but I wasn’t holding my camera at the time :(

We also saw two iguanas swimming, a really big fish and three eels (momma, papa and baby eel).

I really wanna see megaducks wifey. She’s a girl duck and I’ve only ever seen her once at the gardens… she’s white and rather pretty. I wonder where she is and I wonder if they’ll ever have baby megaducks… we’ll call them miniducks… the babyducks I mean :)

And then after that we walked around the gardens and went to the mangroves and there ai-van called my phellytone asking me about what I wanted for my birthday. And I really don’t want anything, that is unless divine intervention can get me really good grades then that would be the best. (but its not like that’ll actually happen)

And we talked for about half an hour with ai-van on the phone and it was so much fun! She wished us a good day and we said the same. boy do I love ai-van and hai-yen, they’re the best :)
And then after that we made our way to the train station and took a train to coopers plains

where we boarded a taxi headed to someplace mysterious because jason wouldn’t tell me where we were going so he covered my face with Kiki….

But in the end I found out where we were going. We were going ICE SKATING! How lovely :)
It’s been a long time since we’ve been ice skating together and every time I go ice skating I always feel this rush of nostalgia for some reason. But it was very nice :)

I stacked it four times and it always sucks because Jason is always a better ice skater than I am! Yes I know, I’m competitive… but one day! One day I’ll be awesome at ice skating hahaha :D
He almost fell a few times… stupid butt.

I fell four times… and once into a wall and scraped my knee, so much that it was kinda bleeding a little bit and I didn’t even notice until Jason told me. And the other time I ran into a high school boy. He wasn’t looking where he was going and I wasn’t either … so I ran into him and we made a pile of twisted legs and arms on the ice and I couldn’t stop laughing ahahaha! I say it was a failed attempt to hold me up. No one can hold me up, when I fall, I fall face first… its terrible = =

Then after that we went back to his house where I could get my knee bandaged up in one and a half bandaids

‘lets put two on it for the lols’ says Jason

‘why? That’s gay!’

‘FOR THE LOLS’

What a stupid butt. I think he cut the second bandaid into two pieces and then couldn’t get the sticky part off of one end and gave up putting it on… hence the one and a half bandaid on my knee

Then after that we headed back into the city where we had dinner at vapiano. Linguine carbonara ftw! It was so yummyyyyyyy *droolage*

The guy who made our meal was very nice too …and very persuasive too. That coca cola costed an extra $3.90 and yet I bought it anyway hahaha silly me :)

And then after that Jason was still hungry so we went to the asian place and had beef with rice noodles and it was rather yummy!

Then we headed to max Brenner where we stood in line for an hour and had a chocolate soufflé, a chocolate lick and some extra vanilla ice cream. Nom nom it was so good… I love the chocolate there. But I think I should stop going there its been two weeks now and I’ve been there four times… and its burning my finances! Not a good sign! I have a formal to pay for damn it! D:

And then yush, we took the city cat to north quay where we climbed a fence and sat around the turret thing underneath the road into the city. It was a really nice night :)
Then after that we walked the bridge to southbank and took a bus home :)

It was very nice being out with Jason because its been a while since I’ve seen him. And the last time I saw him it didn’t really go very well… but I guess things are all good now so that’s great! :)

Today its our one year and one day… so technically today is our 366th day together

Hahaha three more days and it’ll be 369 days HAHA yes I’m so immature :)

Anyway I’m gonna sign off now and proofread my portfolio and then print off the final copy to hand in. I’m so glad I finished this early! It means I don’t have to go into the city on a Saturday just to hand in a silly assignment! HURRAY :)

Anyways! Ciao everyone! Have a lovely day :)

law of attraction



So its been a while
Yeah yeah, I know I know. But its not like anyone reads this thing anyway right? Lately that’s how all my openings for my posts on this blog is like hahaha my tumblr is much more interesting because its me actually trying to write something new and interesting every time I post. Whereas this blog is more a blah, imma write what I think, ‘thinking out loud’ you might say.
Well… what is there to recap over lately?

Hmm last night I went out with paris and nhu, third time at max Brenner this week. Gosh I’m horrible, been eating a load of crap lately

We went to the markets, bought jewellery (retail therapy, yeah its been a while since I’ve made contact with you retail therapy, I don’t really need you, so technically you’re my booty call when I need a pick me up), ate chocolate at max Brenner (white chocolate chai tea, two chocolate soufflés and waffles), walked around southbank yelling ‘RIDICULOUS’ (emphasis on the ‘dic’ part of the word) and just strolling around talking nonsense all night basically.

Ran into quynh last night as well, she was at a birthday outing for some girly girl and everyone was dressed all nice nice and such. It was a very nice night out, it’s good having some fun after stress and all that kind of emotional junk.

Hmm… then nhu went home after southbank and me and paris hit up the city again to have pasta at Vapiano and strolled around drinking coke and talking more nonsense and then deciding to see a movie but alas, my father did not let me see a movie and refused to let me stumble home at past midnight after seeing ‘eat pray love’ or ‘let me in’. so instead we dawdled around outside the cinema talking about our insecurities and preying our eyes on good looking men.

Then we proposed to go stalk some of these good looking men. But we didn’t because we were running out of time and the bus was gonna arrive in 20minutes, so then we decided to go talk to some guys and ask for their numbers.

The stupid boy, he was probably too young for us and he wouldn’t give us his number anyway. I’m sure he’s gay, but his asian friend in the red tshirt with him was much cuter. And he knew what was and wasn’t a good opportunity.

But other than that nothing much has been happening lately… hmm..

In exactly one month however, I will be attending the boyfriends formal. Chyeah, wonder how that’ll turn out. Maybe it’ll be the same tedious thing like last year or maybe it’ll be different. Whatever the case, planning it is stressful.

I like to feel in control and letting Jason and his friends do all the planning and without me knowing it…. I should be happy I don’t have to do anything but I don’t know whats going on and it worries meeeeeeeee…

I should be okay
But damn
I haven’t been feeling great lately…

Law of attraction… think good things, and good things will happen. I hope this phase doesn’t go on for much longer… I’m falling apart real slowly.

University, assignments, emotional junk. Bah who needs that kind of stuff, it should be rolled up into a ball and thrown in the bin. I don’t need this.

I need ice cream. That’s what I need.

Ahhh….

THIS IS SILLY.

Happiness


You know, despite having a heap of assessment due and behind on my working schedule, I feel inexplicably happy for some odd reason.

It might be the fact that since the holidays have started I began to sleep again.

Mmmm... sleep is damn good. Should do it more often!
But now I really need to start writing this, I really really do truly hope I pass this piece of assessment. Seriously I have no idea what I'm doing! I don't know if this piece of assessment worth 20% is a good thing or a bad thing... is 20% a lot or a little?
To me, it's quite a lot . But thats probably because I'm afraid of failing...

FLABBERGHASTED!
Hello, its been a little while hasn’t it? I hardly write in this blog anymore because I don’t have much of a life these days. It’s all about studying and group meetings!


Lately, I’ve had this huge as reality slap in the face. I am such a lazy fart and I don’t do anything apart from study, eat, sleep, laugh like an idiot and play tekken.


It’s shocking, considering I thought I might have been a bit more active… but no. that’s it. Hahaha


I’ve been looking forward to a lot of things lately though!


Tomorrow is going to be me and Jason’s 11 months together. You know what that means? Almost a year! How crazy is that? Time goes by so quickly. It was only yesterday we were just hanging out at Mt Coot tha with Lena and Dinh and Sam. And now BAM, in your face, 11 months later.


Pretty crazy isn’t it?


Oh and mid semester break is next week! After this week… so another week of hardcore uni work – lots of studying to be done! Then a week off uni!


What will I do in that time? Write my lab report, write my speech, play frontierville, bake/cook things, clean things (my room especially), and probably go to Tet Trung Thu (Moon festival) I’m so excited!


I love the moon festival! I have this obsession with singing the tet trung thu song over and over again when I don’t know the actual word to the song = = and it’ll just keep going on as ‘tet trung thu, em dot den di choi’ over and over again. And since the pitch is so high I don’t even sing the words…


So it’s more of a ‘tet trung thu, em DA DA DA DA DA DA!’


My mum gets annoyed at me doing that all the time. Even more when I decide to run around the house yelling at the top of my lungs so that the whole neighbourhood can hear :D
But it’s pretty awesome :D


I dunno why, but I’ve been really happy lately. Stressed yeah, but happy as well. Probably because I have lots of hope of getting all this assignment stuff done. Even though it’s a speech and a lab report I haven’t started researching yet (let alone writing it). But hey, at least I’m enjoying what I’m doing right? I think its frontierville and tekken, its barely keeping me alive :D


Oh I made a tekken card by the way. Its awesome! My character is Alisa obviously (because she’s the bomb) I can’t wait for Monday to come around to play tekken with nhu :)


I look forward to Mondays and Fridays all the time now :D


Anyway, I should get back to summarising my notes for PYB102! Then research Taiwan and film/tv industries and then start on my lab report… Bummer.


Hahaha Oh well, it’ll be alright :)

Ciao everyone out there on the big world world of the interwebs!

friday night with nandopants :)

nando trying on my glasses, haha xD



the ugly chicken thing from the kinder surprise


the qantm cat!



Wheeeeeeeeeeee I totally forgot to blog about my night with nandopants!
I finished uni early on the 10th of sept (because I skipped my lecture because it was the suparr gay) and left the lecture with Rachael and she went home and I went to the public library to look for a newspaper for a particular article in it for my unit research.

Texted nando, turns out he was on the way to the city – talk about timing! And then we met up at the public library. Turns out there are more than just the one entrance. Theres apparel three. So he was standing at the rotating doors, I was at the automatic doors and about 15metres opposite each other before we realised hahaha

So then we went newspaper looking for but found none :(

And then went to qantm so nando could pick up his timetable and then went to get ice cream at Copenhagen (my first time!) tiramisu ice cream for me and the Copenhagen honeycomb something something for nando. And it was naiiiiiiiiice. Yum…

And we sat there eating ice cream and talked about tattoos, asian parents, manners, dropping ice creams (HAHAHAHAHA nando’s story as a kid, most hilarious story ever), bailing out in shops after barfing/spilling coke over their merchandise, etc etc.

Then we went to check out to see what movie was in and ended up going up to the myer centre (only to find that weeny kids had taken over the tekken machine, damn.) and that most movies were in 3D – it turns out neither of us like 3D hahaha. Then contemplated on going to the southbank cinemas and ended up at qantm again looking for a computer to check cinema times.

After waltzing around looking at everything, the computers didn’t work so we left and went to use the useful computers in the middle of the myer centre and turns out a lady was finished with her computer that still had 17minutes on it so she let us use it – saved us two dollars – thank you nice kind lady! :D

Then we couldn’t be bothered because all the cinema times didn’t suit us so we went to see a movie at the myer cinemas instead and stopped by 7eleven to stock up on $15 worth of candy and chocolate. Pods, snickers, Pringles, a bottle of water, a kinder egg…. Hahah

Then after the movie we went to eat sushi at the usual place. Oh and we opened the kinder egg as well, it turned out be an ugly looking chicken thing that we didn’t even get to piece together. It sucked, so we left it on the sushi conveyer belt as a surprise for anyone who wanted the poor ugly chicken thing :)

Then after that we just stood around and talked and went to the cinema seats and continued to just sit there and talk – or sit there in silence. It wasn’t awkward, it was a nice, comfortable silence – I liked it.

Then after that we took the bus home together and I stole the window seat haha, I even offered up the window seat at some stage, but nando was such a gentleman and didn’t mind at all :O
Then we poked each others faces and cheekbones and I poked his super flexible freaky thumb and did fortune readings on the lines on our hands trying to predict something really dumb.

All in all it was a really nice night. I like nando, he’s so different :)

And who would’ve thought it would be so comfortable to just hang out and talk all night? :) it was the best haha, and I also got my harddrive back and I’ve been listening to all his music. Its really good music too. Jazz, swing, alternative, surprising really, but I like it…. So different :O

Nandopants, he’s so cool :)

But at the moment, its 2.16am and maybe I should either go study or go to sleep. So ciao for now worldwideweb!

Ciao
Goodnight and dream sweet. :)

the new tumblr blog has distracted me from my personal life



Mkays so since I started the new tumblr blog I haven’t been updating this one as lately because it seems so mushy and personal. I like being not personal sometimes I guess. Who knew?
Not too much has happened in the past two weeks but. Lemme check my calendar…

So on the 20th august, Friday night, we all took Ai-Van out to Sono’s for her birthday dinner. We had sushi, teriyaki chicken, beef stuff, some lotus pod things, tempura udon and yush.

It was a very nice dinner only the sushi was all sashimi and aivan couldn’t eat a bite of it. So we got it cooked and it was dandy :) the sushi came in a boat and it was awesome – Jason and Peter replayed particular titanic scenes with a chilli powder spoon and a chopstick resting block. You have to say it was an entertaining night. Too bad we had to go home early because Ai-Van and Hai-Yen had early curfews. Ai-Van drove me home that night and I also got to take photos of the beloved yam tree at UQ!

PS. Technically it isn’t actually a yam tree, I believe yams grow in the dirt. But to me they’re very yam like (whatever the hell yams are anyway).

PPS. that very day was also our ten months. Hurray! ♥

And then lets see..what happened on the 21st. AI-VANS REAL BIRTHDAY. And she went to vote haha election poor Ai-Van. At least it was a memory to remember in the future :)

And then on the Monday I met up with nhu and we went all out binge eating. We had nandos, sushi, krispy kreme and other things that I’ve forgotten… but we spent heaps and ate heaps. So much that we could hardly walk to uni afterwards.

Then came Thursday – research participation for psychology school of counselling at KG. even though it was scheduled at 4pm I left home at 7am to catch a bus to city then garden city to see Jason. We made fettucine carbonara with a new recipe this time and it was rather nice. Jenny liked it too. And then rah rah and we parted ways by 2.30pm while he had work and I had uni to go to. I rather miss him.

Thus came Friday night – an impromptu pool night with John and Kyo. Lost my phone at cue city too that night; I was on the bus home and realised and then had to run off at roma street and fumble around the train station to find my way back to the city. Manager of the cue city charged me five dollars to get my phone, I panicked and then realised he was joking. What a funny guy :)

Then the dreaded Saturday. The marketing mid semester exam. The content was very easy to cover and easy to understand but for some odd reason the exam was much harder than I expected. But it turned out alright I guess. Met up with nghi afterwards and went for lunch/dinner and saw Scott Pilgrim vs. the world. It’s a pretty epic movie. Something like tekken crossed with white people, add a dash of Michael Cera and geeky 8bit sounds and flashy lights and you’ve got a good movie with heart right there. Much more epic than I would have thought.

Ran into monica, nghi’s friend that night. She was in the city by herself and I figured it would be fun if she could come to the party with us but she decided not to. And since she tends to hang out in the city by herself nghi joined her and I took the bus back to inala to get picked up by alanbutt.

Alanbutt picked me up at maccas and by then I was super sleepy and decided to power nap in his HOONDA (the name of his car – I named it harr harr). We were talking about uni and how gay life is at the moment and before we knew it the cops were tapping at the windows asking for our ID. Alan asked if there was anything wrong but the policewoman said it was fine but she was just doing her job. Kinda freaked me out a bit but it was alright, they returned our IDs after checking them on the system and alan drove me to John’s 18th

Got there, called Kyo outside, said our hellos and goodbyes. Had two drinks, ran into Long, Tu Phuong, Duy, Colin and that girl from the darra reunion who I met again at psych research participation. I met Khoa and Jimmy too that night. They were nice. Party was alright. Duy had one too many shots and barfed everywhere. Darra reunion girl was grinding with everyone – male or female. Jimmy and Tu Phuong cuddled up in corners. John did his rounds checking if everyone was having fun. And Kyo, Khoa and myself spent the night looking after Colin.

He was shittalking about Lena, me, how shit life is, how one person can be so needy, how one can’t look after her own best friend (FYI. We’re not best friends anymore I don’t think), how he has to deal with his family rah rah. Then cuddled up to everyone asking for hugs. That guy cannot handle his alcohol, poor guy, he had work the next morning too. Damn.

Arrived at 8pm, left at 9.30pm. didn’t stay for long because Colin was so drunk. Oh yeah, and Jimmy tried to start a fight with Colin too. We bailed yeah. Luckily alan was so ready to pick us up. He drove me and Colin home. Colin cried in the car thinking about how he wants to suicide so badly and how effed his family is… and then proceeded to punch the window of the car.

We got to Colin’s place and had to open the door for him. Carrying him up his driveway, each of us holding him up. Oh and then he proceeded to punch the wall. I hope he’s alright now though.
Well anyway, Sunday rolled around and I spent the day in bed studying and watching pokemon. Didn’t do much at all until I got a phonecall from Ai-Van about her birthday dinner at buffet gardens. Sucks that Hai-Yen couldn’t come because she was sick :(

Ai-Van picked me up at 5.40pm and we went to buffet gardens and had heaps of fun making three hot chocolates (after the machine failed and ran out of chocolate powder) and running around eating as much food as we could. Took a few photos too andddddddd then hit the funhouse and had heaps of fun. In total we got approximately 1500 tickets! We played deal or no deal twice. The first time we won 100 tickets and the second time we won 1 ticket. Because we are just so awesome xD

Ai-Van took home a diabolo, a set of board games, a lot of mentos mints and I got a bouncy ball with a bunny in it :) best night ever, it was so fun to be with Ai-Van :D

And then today, went to uni sick and had breadtop with Nhu and accidentally missed my tutorial because i thought my tutorial started at 2…. When it ends at 2… luckily tiffany said I had nothing to worry about and that everything was under control. That girl saves me in tutorials I swear.
Anyways, I’m tired and my eyes are getting blurry and I should take some medicine… I have an exam this Friday and I’ve had to take the day off work tomorrow… which means no income… fail… assignment needs to be finished too… wish me luck

Ciao.
PS. The new tumblr blog is right here

PPS. i just got my marketing results back. 33 out of 50
which is the equivalent of 66%. you know what that means? i have five marks off getting a 7... oh well, i'm grateful for a 6 :)

life is beautiful (somewhat)



today, I went into the city early to hang out with AndyPandy and Alex and play pool and Kyo too :) funny that Jerry was working the same day so we stopped by to say hello

I missed Kyo! Its been ages since I’ve seen him! Just oh too long! And he looked way awesome in his waiter uniform from tafe! I even got to wear his apron and play with his order book! :)

We played pool for about an hour and a half or somethings and then hit the funhouse for some tekken and waited for nhu to show up at 2. When she got there we tekkened for a good 35 minutes (when I promised andy and kyo we’d only tekken for 10minutes) but turns out everyone wanted a go at tekken!

PS. Kyo is ownage. He’s gooooooood.

We then went to pick up some foods at macca’s and then made our way to karaoke and went crazy for an hour. Finale song – We’re all in this together (high school musical) its funny how we all knew the lyrics but andy bailed half way through the song coz he had a bus to catch to get to his lecture on time at 5pm. Twas fun anyway :)

Then after that I went to my own lecture and guess who I ran into after I missed the loop bus? Anthony Dinh! Haven’t seen him since AGES, and it was good seeing him again. He went to go buy a rose (for him to eat, as he told me) at Perrotts florists. $10 for a single rose there, not SO bad, but still overpriced, I’d rather draw a rose on a piece of paper and use that as a gift instead. Dinh was buying a rose because today (16 august) is chinese valentines day!

I wonder what its like in China right now… hearts beating faster and faster, people getting together, nerves are running high…
I remember valentines day this year (2010) … jasons birthday and chinese new year were collided into one day. The fateful little day where I made cookies that got squashed in its own container. The fateful little day where I told Jason that it was absolutely compulsory to tell my dad about us.

But anyway, dinh walked me to uni because he was meeting up with someone at QUT in Z block so I sneaked into my lecture an hour late and then went home after that. Saw Tom today too, didn’t recognize him for a second but it was very nice to see him :) I also ran into Channy and we took the same bus home together…

BTW, Channy is Kyo’s friend from Centenary SHS…. I’m really willing to say ‘HI, I’M A FRIEND OF YOUR FRIEND, WE’RE DOING THE SAME COURSE AND WE EVEN LIVE NEAR EACH OTHER, FREAKY HUH?!’ but I’d sound like a total pedostalker and such. I also am such a wussy and can’t muster the guts to say hello anyway.

But nothing too interesting happened today.

Tomorrow I have work, Wednesday, 9am research participation followed by usual classes, finish at 2pm. Meet up with Nando to exchange CDs & maybe meet up with Kyo too. Thursday to go shopping for a zipper to be sewn onto the dress I bought YONKS ago… and Friday, full day at uni, buy Ai-Van’s Gary and celebrate Ai-Van’s 18th for her pure awesomeness. It will be fun. :)
BTW, my life sucks. Jason hates me, I hate myself, the world is beautiful.

Goodnight all
Ciao!

the ekka, /sarcasm








I just got back home about half an hour ago from the so called ‘ekka’.
It was alex’s last minute idea that we go to the ekka on the last day because apparently after 8pm they let you in for free! So me, Nhu and Alex all packed our stuff and headed out to central – alex’s mummy drove us :) and later met up with Nghi at the train station
We stopped for starbucks and I supposedly lost my gocard (which turned out to be in the floor of alex’s parents’ Toyota aurion)

Stood there waiting for a train but then asked some train worker guy and realised that the train just left one minute ago was the last train for the night! HURRAY. So after having a good laugh and bullshitting we headed to Krispy Kreme and Nhu had a doughnut and we sat around being sarcastic about going to the ‘ekka’. Haha I forgot how much I missed Nghi’s sarcasm. Nghi won’t be Nghi without it! :)

And then after that we went to go karaoke for two hours and ran into Min and Sue! We talked for a while~ Sue is studying Nursing at UQ…. Wow… she’s so naiiiiiiiice xD

Then we got a room for karaoke and me and nhu had juice/milk tea in a popper. And it was really yummy hahaha :)

We sang lots of songs and heaps of fun doing My Oh My (Aqua), Nghi singing all this pro Coldplay songs and belting it out to I believe in a thing called love and summer of ’69~
Until alex had to leave and half an hour later me and nhu sprinted to our bus stop and nghi went to catch his train. On the bus me and nhu talked about shit the whole way – and it was fun. LOL then stopped by macca’s, I had a happy meal and nhu had chips and something else and nhu’s daddy drove me home and here I am now reblogging today and falling asleep quite slowly.
Hmm… I think it’s a sign that I should go sleep

But today was really fun because I wasn’t expecting to have so much fun. And being all BLEEHHH lately, it was a really nice night to relax a bit without having to worry about too much :)

Well I’m gonna upload some photos and then head off to bed and continue with my studies tomorrow morning. Tomorrow haiyen and aivan are coming over at 7pm and we’re gonna try our hand at zumba. This should be interesting, maybe I’ll take photos. Wish us luck for tomorrow – and especially for my uni study… geh.

mid semester :(



I dunno why but lately I’ve gotten the sudden urge to binge drink. It’s probably my mood. Lately its ups and downs like a crazy roller coaster. When I’m alone and studying everything I’m uninspired and unmotivated; but when I’m out with other people i’m all positive and happy and its STUPID.

I don’t know whats going on. I must be confused.

Haven’t been able to sleep normally for the past 2 weeks either. I might have to start taking those pills again… RAWR I don’t wanna >_<

Gonna attempt to study language and speech for Intro to Psych 1B…. and then start on my marketing brief. Its due in 3 weeks and I haven’t started…

Ciao

yesterday, today, next week :)



YESTERDAY went to UQ to meet up with Ai-Van and practice singing An Trang Tre Tho!
TODAY met up with nhu, had sushi played tekken. Met up with Paris and Wendy, had bubble tea and Pringles and stalked Declan (coz Paris thinks he’s a hottie). Met up with Jerry, had sushi for dinner and he bought me bubble tea – Jerry’s shout. What a nice guy :)

Had a good day today, can’t wait for Sunday to come around! HaiYen and AiVan are coming over and we’re gonna try our hand at Zumba. I don’t know if it’ll fail miserably or turn out really well, I guess we’ll see. But it’ll be so fun to be together us three again. I really missed it… yeah…
Can’t wait for next Friday either, AiVan’s birthday is going to be so exciting! xD

Don’t really feel like saying much here tonight… Me and Jason still aren’t quite on speaking terms. He doesn’t seem to like my opinions and thoughts and I don’t seem to warm up to his attitudes. I wonder where this will lead… its our ten months a week from now.

I better finish making the ***********.

Goodnight, ciao.

*off to study*

ekka - brilliant & dismal?

the moon & its neon lights


My day – brilliant & dismal.


Woke up today and read the new book I borrowed out from the library called Beautiful Malice by Rebecca James (really good book for something that sounds very cliché) and mum walked into the room and told me that dad left home to go somewhere and I lost hope that I could change his mind to let me to go the ekka. Instead she told me she talked to dad and in the end he let me go, on the condition I come home early….


So I called Jason a few times to ask about things, and I knew he wasn’t too happy. i wasn’t sure what to think, he didn’t seem excited at all…


But we met up and I said hello to Jenny and his little cousin, Nam; and greeted Jason with a hug. But still he didn’t seem happy.


We took the exhibition train to the ekka and walked around and went on the breakdance ride, played the camel racing game, hooking ducks (won a blue frog for Nam!) and watched Jason play poker! It was really fun (in my opinion anyway) and I think Nam and Jenny felt the same. But clearly, Jason didn’t.


Then we went around to the showbags and Jenny bought a hello kitty showbag, and so did Jason for his friends birthday, and I bought two pokemon showbags (for me and alex) and walked around for a while before getting confused.


Thinking about it now, we didn’t do much at all and it took 3 hours just to go around. I think our mood was really dampened today. I really wanted to see the animals, but I didn’t want to say so because of Jason and I think Nam and Jenny were enjoying themselves before we stopped outside the departure train station. I think this is where it all went downhill….


Jason was irritated and bored – and I hate it when he feels that way. It makes me feel like he doesn’t give a shit in the world about everyone else and just cares for his boredom and nestles against it and once its gotten to that point, nothing can tear him away from being bored.
He didn’t smile all day, let alone laugh. All he did was shake his head and whenever he spoke the words cut and they hurt.


He asked jenny what else she wanted to do, but only an idiot wouldn’t realise that Jason was horribly irritated and who else (with a functioning brain) would truthfully happily answer someone who asked a question with a tone of voice that was irritated and impatient? Obviously, Jenny just said ‘I don’t know’ and Jason just got pissed off and asked Nam and me about what we wanted to do.


At this point I wanted to step in and tell him to lay off Jenny, tell him that we’re not going to get anywhere with him having an attitude like that. To me, the way I see it, Jenny wasn’t treated very well and that upset me.


But I didn’t, because it wasn’t the time and place for another argument and somewhere something was ticking inside my brain (the empathic side of my brain, obviously) and told myself that he was just tired and having a bad day and this was just the result and that Jenny could understand the same.


Well I sure hope she did, but after that we went to the city and Jenny and Jason played DDR after eating sushi at Alan’s.


Even Alan noticed Jason shitty mood. We left and he said goodbye, being polite and all, but Jason didn’t hear him or something but Alan knew and I had nothing to say but smile apologetically and wave goodbye on Jason’s behalf.


We went to see a movie after that – Knight and Day. And Jason didn’t see the movie with us either. The movie was good and we all enjoyed it which was really good! I thought since Nam was from Vietnam he wouldn’t be able to understand everything and really enjoy the movie – but I was wrong, we all liked it and said it was good in the end! :)


Then after that we walked to southbank and strolled around. On our way back to the bus station though I ran into Tommy, I hardly ever see him so it was good to bump into each other. But I’m pretty sure Jason’s mood plummeted after this. Because Tommy came up and we had a little greeting hug and asked how about how we were – small talk stuff. But Jason walked off as I introduced Jenny and Nam.


Jason certainly isn’t over the ‘zone’. The ‘zone’ where I have too many guy friends and my habit of having to hug people.


I’m not even sure what to feel anymore. Sometimes I think, maybe he should be a bit more mature and have a little faith in me. Because my friends are friends, I’m not the type to be unfaithful; and to me love is love. Friends and love are big difference (romantically, that is).
But on the other hand, I can understand to an extent how he feels and where he’s coming from. If he were going out with girls and hanging out with girls all the time… well I’d accept it, but sometimes I probably would feel uncomfortable – especially times when I feel insecure.

Well anyway, I really like his little cousin and it was really good seeing Jenny today. Despite the bouts of anger and tears welling up, I think it was a good day overall.


Tomorrow I’m going to uni from midday – 1pm at KG to do some research participation with S. Mautilik and earn 1% of course credit and then meet up with Ai-Van at UQ’s lolly shop at 2pm and we’re gonna go pick up Nam and Khang from school and it should be super fun :)


By the way, my mood was quite deflated today at the ekka and i cleared out 2/3 of the memory on my camera to take heaps of photos (with the expectation that everyone else was excited too) but instead I only took two photos…. I wonder if I’ve lost any photos… I really hope not


Well ciao and goodnight

PS. I didn’t even get to tell Jason my whole story about the cuts in my finger. The story really was fun… but I guess he didn’t have the heart to hear it today…
