Stonefest To The RESCUEEEEEE...

friday 30/10/09

day 246: very content

have to say today (well not technically as writing this post) was like a dream come true. literally i wanted someone to pinch to me so i know im not dreaming. i was at the uni computer labs when my tutor/course convener, Duncan, walks into the labs tell everyone who was there that he is going to give us an extension and the spread the word. i was soooo glad and happy that we had an extension because there was sooo little time to finish these 2 assignments. thank you soooo much to stonefest that gave the reason for the extension =D this is because the computer labs and probably uni will be closed during the course of Stonefest and since not everyone have CAD at home so Duncan just gave us extra 2 days. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY =D

well it's nearly 7am on saturday morning as i am writing this post... that's correct! i just did an all-nighter =\... many to come in the week =\

Lost My USB =\

thursday 29/10/09

day 255: not happy

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh soooo upset at the moment!!! i totally forgot that i had my usb in my pocket and now i lost it *sobs sobs* i wished i had put it in my bag or something when i got it back from mustafa =\.... REGRETS REGRETS REGRETS. i either lost it in class or at work =\. lets hope i find it tomorrow *fingers crossed* (but the chances are dim)

Woo Done Something Atleast =]

wednesday 28/10/09

day 254

well first off i had an exam today and i cannot be more confident about a test than this one =]. there was only 2 questions that puzzled me but i am sure the rest should be right =]

well tonight as i was procrastinating i managed to do some CAD work... the night was like dragged to as long as possible =\. a bit at a time and taking long breaks to watch tv or something =\. but in the end i got something done! so it was not as wasted as it could of been.

my aim is to finish this by friday since it does not have any researching so the rest of the weekend can be used for the pavillion project =]... if this goes to plan i should, and i repeat SHOULD, survive till monday =]

Drawing Down!

tuesday 27/10/09

day 253: tired

well i finally finished my drawing homeworks and just finished redo-ing all them little thumbnail pictures caroline sent me for the historu test tomorrow. WISH ME LUCK!!!

so after tomorrow it's going to be some epic all nighters =\. i probably won't be showing up to the CAD tutorial tomorrow. for a number of reasons; get some sleep, do my assignments, and since i don't have anything to show there is no point =\.

well nights x3

sunday 25/10/09

day 251: both happy and angry????

the good 'happy' thing was that i went to before 11.30 lastnight!!! believe it.... i cannot believe myself either because i was soooo tired after coming back from work. i was meant to finish at 5 but stayed till like 9.30 =/. such bad influence from them guys AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA... i just happened to called home and then went to sleep.

what is the bad thing??? well im really reallly angry that i did not get much work done over this weekend and considering the DT assignments are due in a week... i am really f**kkkkked!

embrace for 1 intense week of DT and then another for studio!!!

Happiest Day For A While

saturday 24/10/09

day 251: happy happy happy

tonight i realised something quite important and something that made me very very content. well let's begin from the start. i cutted my finger on the way out from work after doing close but did not realise it was that bad till i started walking home. so i was walking home with asanka with my fingers dripping down blood... and also encountering some drunk guys from the bar that thought it would be funny to start throwing things at us =\ (im am sure if i was by myself i would of got jumped =\), so when i got home i facebook status wrote "loss a fair bit of blood on the way home from work" and andy wrote "got stabbed much" i thought he would got my joke/sarcasm when i replied "yeah drunk k***ts, had to do a runner =]" that smiley gave it away really. but i guess he did not see my reply. so not long after i got a text message from him asking if i was okay and what happened. when i received that message i was like always know you were a true friend and now you just proved it to me with that caring message. i was very very happy to see that message (even if i was really stabbed) i found out who is a true friend =]. well as i already said i always knew he was one but even after moving away for nearly a year friends back home still cares. it also shows they still have me in their hearts.

thanks my brother from another mother x3

well that concludes my days message. what could i say something bad turned out good =].

Forced

friday 23/10/09

day 250: think i caught a cold =\

was just an ordinary day.... friday's no uni and then i had work. work was only a 3 hour shift but i was FORCED to stay back till about midnight because alex daniel and sam was dirnking at the park =\.... supposedly i was only going to stay for like 1 or 2 hours after work but they did not really let me go esp daniel =\. soooo there goes my night wasted =\.

i am now all sobered up and cannot go back to sleep =\

Midnight Workout

thursday 22/10/09

day 249: sunny/hot

as much as the uni work is stressing me out with the assignments are drawing nearer and nearer towards that deadline =\... i had not a bad day. uni was reasonably calming and work was okay.

i don't know if it was me or was something else but i could feel quite a hatred atmosphere around the work place tonight =\. it felt very hostile and everyone was just by themselves =\. well as the night went away it became better and after close me, daniel and sam just walked to the lake and we did some midnight workouts!!! well it was mainly them two that was working out i really just sat there because im just too lazy and unfit/strong to workout =\. another thing is that i got a lot of uni work to worry about other than trying to get a toned body AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... but i am however, planning to workout after this semester ends =]. wish me luck =]

Late Late Dinner

wednesday 21/10/09

day 248: summers coming =]

i suppose i can say today was the hottest day of the month! and possibly the hottest october day for a long long time with temperatures reaching 30 on the thermometer! was soooooo hot walking to uni esp.... that is the only thing i hate about summer =\ i get sweaty quite easily so i really really don't like that aspect =\.

is it awkward to eat dinner or actually just eating a meal at 3.30am??? well i thought it was normal in a way bu at the same time really awkward and not good for my health =\. i thought it was normal as i slept during the night, by that i mean before midnight, and so when i woke up it is kind of like a jet lag thing ahahahahahahaha... the awkward moment is having to eat at this time of the night!!! and surely that cannot be god for your body!

well i finished a mini part of the studio work that is due tomorrow =]... it was not something big just submitting in the design concept and the drawing schedule. not sure if i did it right but hope i did =].

Tired Eyes

tuesday 20/10/09

day 247: fairly hot

the summer outfits are out =] today was fairly hot, to the top of 26 degrees =], soooooooo warm. was just absorbing that sun on the way to uni =D. i went to that commonwealth place kiosk once again this afternoon with jason for the DT assignment...

Interesting Talk

monday 19/10/09

day 246: warm/hot

was just another ordinary day with uni and work... but i just an interesting talk with my housemate, moon, where he wanted to know about architecture a bit more. because it is thinking of doing this course or interior architecture after he graduates from his current course. well i gave him some advice not much since im still new to this course so i hope i helped him out a bit.

the pressure and stress levels are climbing with the nearing of the year for uni... need strive for the best till the end of the semester... then i can think of some relaxation programs =P

Warm Day =D

sunday 18/10/09

day 245: sunny

finally it felt like spring after weeks of rain and clouds... the sun is finally back out again and the day was soo lovely... UNTIL i was called in to do a 3 hour shift from 5 to 8.... lucky it was only 5 to 8 because that place was boiling!!!

exam this week on wednesday and i barely done that booklet =\ i am soooooo dead ><... wish me luck guys =]

Slow Progress

saturday 17/10/09

day 244: sunny

one of the sunniest days of the month and i was stuck at work getting slammed for 2 hours that felt like it was 5hours! as usual that place is like hell.... soooooo hot!

i am making very slow progress with uni work... after coming back from work i had a nap and then started working on my history booklet as i found out our exam is on this week... i need to complete this book so i bring it to class for that exam. slow progress though =\

day off tomorrow so i need to complete some of them tomorrow at least! need to be committed =='

Sun!!!

Friday 16/10/09

day 243: finally some sun

woahhhh today was like the first time i saw sun in about 2 weeks! but it went to cloudy again as night falls =\.

my shoulder felt like it was dislocated this afternoon when i was going to uni to hand in an assignment. it ached sooooo bad!!! all the muscles around that place just crunched in one point. i was fairly sure that was a knot forming, so i was like massaging around it and putting pressure on it to try to get rid of it... it it much better now but still aches a bit.

went to commonwealth place after handing in my assignment to meet up with jordan and luiz for the DT assignment. i kind of got loss after getting off the bus and took me quite some time to find it ==. and then me and luiz got loss again when we were on the way home ==... he missed an exit and we ended up at holts, higgin and that area AHAHAHAHAHAHA... luckily we had a directory and led it back to my place... phewwwwww!

Stop Raining!

Thursday 15/10/09

day 242: rain rain rain

well i was late to my tutorial for studio today and was not informed about the lecture that was on (there were notes on the doors and stuff but i just happened to missed them =\)... we were at intensity today during our in between class ahahahahahahahaha was pretty hilarious =D fun time fun time... drawing class today was MESSY!!! had to work with charcoal which was a mess...

arghhhhhhhhh have sooo much work to do and yet i get side tracked way toooo easily! spent a lot of hours doing nothing =\...

have to meet up with friends for my DT assignment where we need to measure something... =\

had to cut down that history essay by a fair bit tonight.... about 1000 words worth of cutting =\.

Up For No Reason =\

wednesday 14/10/09

day 241: gloomy and cold

i can't quite find the answer why i am up for at 4am in the morning... i was not doing anything for uni (well not yet anyways... will be up like every night soon when the semester nears to a close) well was very very cold and wet today... i thought the sun would brighten up the day during the afternoon but it was not out for long till the rain made the day dull again.

felt a bit sick during work with some headaches.... may be from the heat of the place that caused it... had a few drinks and some talk tonight after close. good time good time =]

Pressure Time

tuesday 13/10/09

day 240: dull

muscle still aches =\... well i finally got a plan design for my retreat i was playing with it and just changing it around and stuff today and last week... just had to confirm that the shapes i was exploring was not soooo awkward and stuff. went to coffee club for lunch today with jordan, muse, simone and shane after studio... me and simone just shared a topped wedges and yummm yummm yummm.... fresh wedges with cheese and bacon on top *drools*.

the aches kind of made me just want to rest and not do anything... so when i got home i did nothing and just went to bed =\. i had this magnetic football thing and placed it on my bed so my knots could lay on it.... not sure if it made it better or not but oh well...

i hate wednesdays!!! got uni sooo early in the morning =\

well tonight when i was looking at the day count thing and was thinking yesterday was 339... no way!!! so i scroll down to realised i made a mistake a few days back... only picked it up tonight =='.

Muscle Knots

Monday 12/10/09

day 239: sore =\

here we are at work again =\... and yet again my back is sore BUT tonight i think i've found my cause of the sore backs when i wake up in the morning =]. well i might have found that out on the weekend but i just did not look into it. well i've been asking some workmates to give me massages this couple of days and all of them say i have knots... was saying and thinking to myself "what the hell are knots??????" so tonight when i was saying this to my workmate while giving me massage that i will google it tonight after work. so i did and realised that muscle knots are actually points around your body where the muscles are constantly in strained and cannot be relaxed. so maybe that explains my constant sore back in the mornings when i wake up. if that is the case then i have had these knots for a long time!!! imagine the size!!!! well apparently i have a really big one just under my right shoulders.

well after work i had a little talk with daniel while we had a little bit of drink... (it was not much he just wanted to finish off that little bit of vodka left over from lastnight) i did not really want to because i had uni tomorrow but then he would of been drinking by himself so i just said yeah why not... only a few though.

Work BBQ =D

Sunday 11/10/09

day 238: rained then sunny =D

after that epic 16 hour sleep i was awake for the whole day =].... went to work and then was just waiting for the end of my shift so i could go to the bbq... it ended up with not much people turning up and me, sam, daniel and erin there till really late. hours past sooooo quick seriously... we all drank quiet a bit and i think all of us were fairly smashed =\. i did stuff i definitely would not have done if i was sober and i won't go into details with it. but overall best night i had in long long time =]

waiting for the next bbq =] (which is in 3weeks time)

Sleeping Beauty =]

saturday 10/10/09

day 236: =]

well im writing on sunday because yesterday 2 days ago i did close and then the next day i had to open. sima (come open team leader) called up at 12.15 telling us she cannot do her shift that was like 5 hours away. ally was going to do it for free but i said i would do for her because i did not what her to drive back home and then drive back in a few hours then do close =\. plus it was her bday and she already had a bad night... did not want her night to get better. i had a fairly good open actually... i got to learn opens =]. i finished that day and stayed for ages doing some logo for the managers =] and then i drove all the way to fyswick for stock (yes again, we have been running out of 4inch bun like every night ==' ).

then i walked home with matty and went to bed for 16 hours... that's right 16 HOURS!!!...

Happy Bday Ally!!! <3

yoooooooo ally my team ally manager =].... happy 23rd just reminding how old you are ahahahahahahhahaha... was going to ask you to go out lastnight because i had that itch to and your bday was a perfect excuse =] but i did not have your number =\.

well i know you did not have much of a good day with work and stuff... but still hope you had a great day =]. i did close then open just because it was your bday so you should be happy =]. and you got a lovely necklace from sammy boy.

well best wishes for the rest of the year =]. x3 love you

4 Hours In-Between Work???

friday 09/10/09

day 236: cold night!!!

had nearly an all nighter lastnight finishing that stupid history essay. well happy i finished it. went to bed almost at 6am and did not wake up till 2pm this afternoon. my friend messaged me at like 10 asking about his assignment. i was soooo tired that i did not bother replying. sorry!

work... just the usual at work.... had subway tonight!!! tried our specialty the 'manwich' (a subway we made that pretty much just had all the meal on the bread roll with bbq sauce). not bad... was actually quite a good creation =]. someone on opened called up tonight after close saying she cannot work open tomorrow =\. at such a short notice we could not replace it... ally was going to come in to do it for free but i said i will since it's her bday =]... this leaves me with only like 2 hours now before walking back to work. i did not even bother bringing my bags and stuff back since im going back in like a few hours ==.

Mission Accomplished =]

thursday 08/10/09

day 235: quite content =]

why am i content??? well i was given a mission a few nights ago to finish the history essay by lastnight... well i failed at my first attempt so i tried redoing that campaign again tonight and was awarded the 'accomplished' feeling =D. its only nearly dawn ahahahahahahahaha but it is all good i got it done so i don't have to do all nighters the night before it is due. that leaves me with more time on other assignments as well. there was some distractions throughout the night.. youtube wa sone of them! spent a fair bit of time on failblog ahahahahahahaha...

i was suppose to go out tonight but my mustafa never replied to the message i sent him =\. he told me he was going out but then after that i did not get a reply when i texted him back. oh well... at least i got my essay done.

Misson Unaccomplished =[

Wednesday 07/10/09

day 234: not very happy lor

i failed in my mission to finish the essay i said i would finish last night =\. i simply drifted as soon as i went to read the books and by drifted i meant i just fell asleep =='. i guess i have to finish that tomorrow night.

did not get up to much today besides uni and then home... weather was soooooo cold today! was almost like a winter day. weird weather these days =\.

Warm Afternoon =D But A Cold Night =[

Tuesday 06/10/09

day 233: quite a nice day

first day back after the long weekend... which meant it was the start of my weekend because i am not working till friday =]. lecture and studio today which was not tooooo bad. managed to get some idea with my tutor for my retreat project.

after uni i came home and made a lovely lunch (pasta). as i was about to go for a lovely afternoon nap in a sunny weather i realised i had to measure something for my CAD tute tomorrow. because i did not have a tape measure i had to go buy one from the mall before doing the measurements. however, alex said we might have one at work so i went to check if there was one. INDEED there was and that saved me about 15bucks =]... just borrowed it from work and shall return it on friday =].

i ended up having like a night nap and did not end up doing any uni work =\. this is soooo bad because im fairly behind in uni. i will need to finish that essay tomorrow. MUST MUST MUST!!!

as stuffed as my laptop is i nearly stuffed it up even more tonight when i installed this sound driver slavce asked me to install. before was the sound stuffs up every now and then but after installing the sound was completely removed. luckily i system restored the laptop and it works now... phewwwww

China's 60th Anniversary =D

as you may already know 1st of october is the national day in China. this year was the 60th anniversary since the founding of the People's Republic of China under the leader Mao-Tse Tung. it was this day where the newly chairman of the central people's government of PRC made the declaration for a new regime.

in the speech he gave amongst a mass rally he declared "the people throughout China have been plunged into bitter sufferings and tribulations since the Chiang Kai-Shek reactionary government betrayed the fatherland, conspired with imperialists, and launched a counter-revolutionary war. however, our PLA, supported by the people throughout the country, fighting heroically and selflessly to defend the territorial sovereignty of the fatherland, to protect the people's lives and property, to relieve the people of their sufferings, and to struggle for their rights, has eliminated the reactionary troops and overthrown the reactionary rules of the National Government. Now the war of the people's liberation has been fundamentally won and the majority of the people throughout the country have been liberated." (in the courtesy of http://archive.timesonline.co.uk/tol/viewArticle.arc?articleId=ARCHIVE-The_Times-1949-10-03-04-002&pageId=ARCHIVE-The_Times-1949-10-03-04). He proclaimed the founding of a new republic and that Peking, or now known as Beijing, as the capital.

back to the present, celebrations for this big milestone started at late september with performances collectively called 'revival road', it was a metaphor that portrayed the journey we (the chinese people) went through for national independence. Then there was a National Day reception at the Great Hall on the eve of the big day. in the morning of the 1st at Tiananmen Square, President, Hu JinTao, opened the proceedings with a speech. Then is follows by the tradition parade by the Military with civilian activities and pagentry afterwards. Firework display on the evening of the day with more performances. the celebration goes on for a few days and mid-october there will be an exhibition at the beijing exhibition centre (if anyone is in china during that time definitely worth seeing). the celebrations captured the stories of history that went through for independence and beyond leading up to this milestone. as chinese myself, i am very proud of this milestone but i did not celebrate =\. cannot really feel that atmosphere when your a couple of millions of miles across the pacific in australia =='. i wish China and us all the best for eternity; the country, prosperity, recognition and peace, and for the people, health, health and more health... after that prosperity and so the eradication of poverty in china.

Double Pay ^^

monday 05/10/09

day 232: happy =]

was my 5th day in a row that i had to work =\... good thing is that i worked all long weekend so i earn some good money but the bad side is that i did not get to do anything during the long weekend. well i got double pay because of labour day public holidays ^^ im sooooooo happpy!!! i have not worked this many days in soooo long. =]

but yeah my long weekend was spent on working. summed it up nice and short =D.

Can't Complain

sunday 04/10/09

day 231: cold/rainy weather

well did pretty much nothing besides staying at hungry jacks from 11am till midnight ahahahahahahah... i finished at 5.30 and stayed for footy. i ended up missing the second half of the finals because i was up at woolies buying things. oh well, melbourne won and was quite predictable. no biggies!

it was a total disaster at work this weekend with everything breaking down. the computer system crashed tonight and we had to write down and use a calculator to get orders! how hi-tech is that!!! i was doing some front today running orders and took one order =]. very hard =\.

funny how matt see a friend of his at like midnight!!! what is the odds of that!!! we were just having a talk on the main road before leaving for home. then he saw this guy and called out his name... was his friend and we ended having a chat for quite sometime next to the road =].

Daylight Savings

saturday 03/10/09

day 230: gloomy, cloudy, raining

before anything else i just wanted to say summer is here because daylight savings start at 2am. so tonight before going to bed put the time one hour forward =].

okay i finally got my net fixed. yes it was down again. this time it was my antivirus program. it started on friday where i could not browse anything... i only could sign on msn and listen to chik chuk 903. before calling my brother i tried restarting the router and stuff (like how i fix some minor problems) but failed. there is always problems with the internet down here =(. so i called my brother tonight to see what he can do... he eventually gave me the solution and that was there might be something wrong with the security. so i turned it off and the problem was solved! but till he calls up to see what's wrong with it, i will have to have no security on my laptop =\.

well i was very very very pissed after work today because some douchebag stole my money! we all knew who it was because a day or two ago that guy took 70bucks off taj (a workmate) but he got busted for it by sammy boy (well semi busted). we were sooo angry and all wanted to bash him for it!!! not happy!!!

Floriade: Body, Mind and Soul

friday 02/10/09

day 229: not the weather i wished for =\

first things first, my internet stuffed up yet again on friday so i did not get to post till tonight when i found out what was wrong with it and i shall tell you after this post.

well on friday i went floriade with ah mui stephy! i missed her sooooo much, i have not seen her in soooo long. so i asked her to go floriade with me. the weather was not promising as i woke up and the sky was cloudy =\. it was cloudy for the rest of the day and it started to rain when we were about to leave floriade. it is smaller version (and i guess a less better) of the one in Netherlands. i forgot it's name but that one looks soooooo beautiful. but floriade was beautiful too! lovely walk around looking at flowers and some interesting landscape garden designs =]. the flowers were placed in a way to create patterns. its really hard to see when your on the ground but when i was on the ferries wheel, i saw the aerial view and it was a pretty stunning view. was quite disappointed with the weather but i guess i can't wish for everything. was good enough to see ah mui, i missed her. good day good day.

Happy Bday Amy <3

just want to say happy 21st to amy!!! so sorry i could not make it tonight (whatever you were planning to do) because i had work and then after was tired... but yeah hope u had a blast tonight and the rest of the long weekends =]. stay safe while enjoying yourself! best wishes for the year. x3 mwahhhhh
