New Start Of A New Year

sunday 28/02/10

day 366: tired

barely getting sleep last night i had work at 7.30 in the morning this morning =\. well as always all my morning shifts are tiring! and i had to stay till 5 in the afternoon =\. well i did not mind it as i need a some extra hours to pay off things. i finished work but what supposed to be a good afternoon with maybe some basketball turned out to be ruined =[. my friend just told me to stay back till he goes on break so we could do something in between his break. so i was like yeah i'll stay but we just ended up going outside for a chat ==. by the time i started making my walk back home it was already like 8pm and by then all the people are gone. oh wells

well i have to say it is not easy trying to design something when your mind is not up for it! i mean when you have that mood you can go on a roll and think of all these concepts and ideas. however, when that is not around hoe brains are just malfunctions and decides to not kick into the design mode. well the point was i wanted to rant about here is that I AM TOTALLY BLANK!!!

well okay new year but same goals!!! study hard!!!

28/02/10

ONE YEAR!!!

thursday 25/02/10 to saturday 26/02/10

days 363 to 365: happy

well before i start writing anything else i have something to say, well already said but i shall repeat myself =]. IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE I MOVED OUT!!! and im happy that the year went by as happy as it could of been =]. may the rest of my time here remain as happy as it is =]

well have not blogged for a few days maybe due to the tiredness i have been especially after a few drinks =]. i really need to start cutting down for the sake of health and money =]. well on friday i met up with a friend that came back from overseas =]. had a lovely dinner at sizzle bento =D KOREAN BBQ =P yummmmmy yummmmmmmmy!!! quite pricey but i guess once a while isn't bad =]

played some bball after work today =] have not exercise for a while so it was a good work out =]. hopefully i could play tomorrow just depending how dead i am after work =]. another night of minimum sleep because i got work at 7.30 =\.

well off to bed x3

my goal for tomorrow... get off that ps3 and do some uni work!!!!

Field Trip =D

wednesday 24/02/10

day 362: tiredddd

had a field trip this morning for architecture technology at the forest industry house. well i thought the talk was a bit off the topic of architecture but nevertheless it was quite interesting with all the information i got =] insightful.

only thing was... i had to wake up at 7am!!!! i have not done this for a while =\ and had to admit it felt quite chilly this morning. but thanks to jordan's coffee that kicked started my day =]. and that i got carried away from my pain in the ankle from standing up too long =\. way too much pressure on it.

work tired me out even more with like 6hrs of standing up and esp tonight when the pub down the road is just busy as due to uni nights. busy busy busy with under staffed =\.

on another note =]... fingers crossed for my labour club application go through and i get a call soon =D

I Did Some Work =D

tuesday 23/02/10

day 361: proud =]

alright so it is the day of the week where i get my day off from uni and luckily today i even got a day off work!!! win win situation i love it =D. well supposedly i was going to wake up early so i could have a full day but obviously that failed from a late night ==. so i woke up as late as usual and my day goes along them lines of ps3 and uni work... ohhh and tvb of course =]

well im pretty proud that i actually did some work rather than bumming around the house doing nothing! what im not happy about is maybe i did not put enough time into work... but rather spent a lot of the time watching tvb or playing ps3 =\... need to push myself but i reckon i did okay today. the 4 sketch models i made ain't the crappy ones and i reckon it did carry out the concept quite well =]. ADD OIL!!!

Some Work =]

monday 22/02/10

day 360: interrupted =\

uni was quite productive today!!! i am pretty happy with myself for being productive during studio. i made some sketch models. but only one really counted and started on another one that i broke last week. it took a while but in the end i finished it and it was a bigger version of the one i broke.

well after that i pretty much just bludged my night away... well i intended to hit the bed early tonight so i could wake up tomorrow early and get a full day. got interrupted just as i was about to hit the bed =\. my housemate came in for a talk and we went outside and talked for a bit before one of them asked to play the ps3. i really hate football (soccer) games because i really really suck at them but he insisted =\. why not basketball ==. i never win in football!!! NEVER like i have never won a fifa game or related games in my entire life with a console!

well yeahhhhh hopefully i can get up early and just spend the day or atleast most of the day doing studio =].

ADD OIL!

Weekend

Saturday 20/02/10 & Sunday 21/02/10

days 358 & 359: contemplating

the weekend itself was well can't really say fun but was reasonable =]. pretty much just worked all weekend till sunday where i got the afternoon off after work =]. despite sammy boy being sleep deprived he still managed to come out for a drink with me because well he said to me and biancya that we did a good job today for little "trained" staffs on the job. i mean i was quite happy with it since i get paid for it and he came out back to help whenever he could. so no complaints =D. nevertheless it was tiring and stressful, so that afternoon/after work drink was relaxing. just chilled for a a few hours =D.

well the weekend on that side was good since i got to work, meaning i get money =D... but on the other hand, the more important side of things because of work i get worn out too much and hence i could not concentrate much after work to get some uni stuff done =\. i've been thinking should i start getting a day or something off the weekend so i could do my work. nevertheless i really need to kick myself into gear or else i will be falling wayyyyy behind!!! not a good start and yet like i say it every time i need to commit myself but i always end up failing =\. i just need to TRY HARDER!!! ADD OIL!!!!

GAR YAOOOOOOO!!!

Presentation

Friday 19/01/10

day 357: ordinary

hmmmm... i just realised as i was looking at the days i've been counting since i came to canberra... not sure if i remember it right or not but i came here on the 15th of February 2009... how come on my count it's on 357 =\... about a week delayed??? i'm not quite too sure, i might be just having a bad memory =].

well i had a presentation today about my studio assignment. nothing formal just a small presentation about our concepts and how we have transformed the image or drifting our ideas from the picture as well as getting some feedback from tutor and classmates. i'm not sure why but i was quite nervous getting up to speak to the group today! i mean i kind of got used to it during first year. maybe it was the first one in a while and to be honest i was not confident at all with this presentation (then again when am i ever confident =\). walking to that class was soooo much of a hustle because i had to carry so much stuff and then i had to carry that to work! lucky i had a lift back home. thanks asanka =]. i kind of felt bad having to walk out of the room when there was still people presenting =\. i did not want to but the class finishes at 4.30 but when i left the room it was already 4.45 and i had work at 5 =\. sorry to the people who i did not listen to your presentation. forgive my rudeness.

Stressed???

thursday 18/02/10

day 356: tired

not sure what to write as my entry title, i mean i had one before earlier tonight but as the night went by i just forgot =\. an unexpected late night tonight after starting to do my studio work at like midnight and thought i can't give myself in without doing some work. i mean i just came up with some crappiest stuff a human being could possibly imagine but hmmm what can i say????? this assignments been soooo stressful and it's only been the second week since the assignment was launched =\.

i thought i was a bit stupid today for not catching the bus to and from bunnings as i had to cover quite a long distance especially on the way back where i had to carry a fair few equipments. only brought a few things and it cost over 50bucks!!! this course is surely money consuming =\.

Satisfied =D

Wednesday 17/02/10

day 355: warm =]

just going to be a short entry tonight since there isn't much to talk about. had a huge craving for instant noodles tonight after coming home from work and the club =]. well i was a bit hungry as well so obviously i took the smart move and that is to satisfy my stomach =]. it tastes like heaven!!! seriously things tastes sooooo much better when your craving them and even better when you're starving.

yes i was at the club again... slowly becoming like sam and being a regular customer there. well i guess it's okay yo just sit and have a few drinks with the friends after work. my type of outing =] i prefer that than going out clubbing where it is loud and crowded. well i guess it is okay as long as i control my drinking and well my money =]

Avatar Again!!!

Tuesday 16/02/10

day 354: okay lar

well the day was not too bad =]. i woke up super later since it was my day off from uni =]. met up with jordan and muse at uni to do some assignment work, and it went quite well. managed to make some sample models exploring something about my subject =]. only thing was i had to rush out of the house this morning (well afternoon) when jordan came to pick me up for uni. i did not even get to finish my brunch =\.

watched avatar in 3D again tonight. still agreeing to the things i said a while back in my review on it =]. AWESOME MOVIE. the first ever movie that i actually went to the cinemas TWICE to watch it. five star without a doubt =D.

well one of the most important thing was late late tonight when i called work after movies to check my shift for tomorrow. sammy boy asked me to do a morning shift and i thought i had uni at 3.30 so i said okay i can do it. but then i realised i did start at 12.30 and i called back saying i can't. it was not a problem at first but later i thought... hmmmmmm i feel bad for accepting a shift than saying i can't do it. then i thought "maybe i could skip the lecture and go work" but after a few minutes i had a big think about it actually because i am quite desperate for money these days after getting the tv and ps3 (i mean i don't regret it just that it leaves me a bit tight with money). but my decision was i just can't do it. i cannot go past the guilt that i came here solely for one purpose, and that is to study hard in uni. i know i have not done enough to prove that and maybe this year is the time. i made the move to canberra to study in a course i like and i don't want to disappoint my parents. i mean skipping one lecture might not be a biggest problem but like the saying it only needs once and it will turn into twice then it keeps on going =\.

SOOOO... my conclusion. go to uni and attend my lecture! despite it is double pay it is not worth risking a future over the present. i cannot play this game of risk. too hard =\. also it really made me think about my INITIAL GOAL =]. funny how little things could turn out sooo big =]

ADD OIL!!!

Day Of Relaxation =]

Monday 15/02/10

day 353: content =]

never thought i would do it but i decided to take the night off from uni work and everything to just enjoy a lovely night =]... i mean i was just playing the ps3 for like a few hours =D. supposedly i should be doing my assignment but i guess with all that stress i wouldn't of done much anyways. i need a break even though we came back from a long holidays ahahahahaha...

either way already done it!!! can't change now =].... means i need to work even harder tomorrow =].

guess my sleep early tonight just turned into another normal night =]

Happy Chinese New Years

Sunday 14/02/10

day 352: sun came out

well it has been raining for maybe the past like 72hrs but it finally stopped this afternoon before i had to go to work. the sun even came out for a bit before it was overpowered by a group of dark clouds again.

well i already said it last night but i will say it again tonight. HAPPY YEAR OF THE TIGER! ALL THE BEST x3

well i did not get much sleep last night =\... keep waking up =\. people get hangovers from drinking but me? i get little sleep because i need to get up all night drinking water then going to the toilet ==.

day 350: not a happy chap =\

if my stress level was measured in metres i think mine would be about a few KILOMETERS!!! my brain is just not working at the moment!!! i am seriously sooooo out of this uni business and sooo stressed because the face that my brain and me ain't working together =\.

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

kind of feel better but still stressed =\.... soooo tired tonight after uni and work =\. work was just non stop work. had to stay back after close well to do front close =\... but i got to get a massage after =D that made me happier =]. but i had to stay back for another 30min or so because just as we left the alarm went off. the only one i knew to call was sammy boy. luckily ally came back this way and saw the stores alarm was set off. i had to stay back to make sure everything was right. thanks sammy boy for coming down despite that it was you day off.

ASSIGNMENTS!!! TOOO MANY!!! cannot handle it =\..... this studio one is just digging my brain juice =\ seriously i have no idea what i need to do =\... soo far it is not a great start to my second year. many more of these sad smiley's to come =[.

hopefully i could get some directions tomorrow in my studio class =]

Job Hunting

wednesday 10/02/10

day 348: quite stressed

although i did not do much uni stuff today but that does not mean i'm not stressed about uni =\... that assignment is doing my head in!!! seriously... and to make it feel better i got like another 2 assignments for design history today =\.

the good thing about today was i found out i did not have to buy a textbook for design history =D... i was soooo shocked when i walked into the lecture room today to see the lecture hall to be filled with students!!! was like 350 students in the lecture hall and some had to sit on the ground! like i have not seen this much people in a lecture room before =\.

followed the group to the mall for their good vibrations shopping after... to be honest i was not interested at all because i had no part of it... i only went because i thought i had work after uni (well for like a few hours) but i thought well they would be there for a bit and then i could wonder off and possibly do some uni work before uni. but noooooo.... they stayed there forever looking for there outfits and stuff so i did not get a chance to even take out the spare notebook i had to draw some ideas =\. oh wells.... maybe something will pop into my head tomorrow =D. hopefully =]...

anyways!!! need to rest up. nights x3

Don't Like UNI!!!

Tuesday 09/02/10

day 347: stressed (already!)

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh despite being my day off from uni but was not my day off for work =\... had to do a 12 to 8 today because alex went to his army interview. on a good note CONGRATULATIONS to ALEX on making the army!!! i want to wish you all the best in the near future =]. please don't get kill =].

but yeah back to my story... uni is barely 3 days old and i am already stressed to the tip!!! this assignment is soooo hard especially when my mind is quite blunt =\.... it assignment wants us to drift from one idea to another till we eventually come up with something totally wicked ahahahahaha... you see i like to go straight to the point!!! arghhhhhhhhhh hope by the end of the assignment my mind will be adapted to think more creative =]. ADD OIL!

Back To School

monday 08/02/10

day 346: depression =\

it's that time of the year where everyone just goes "awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... this sucks because we need to go back to school" =\... first day back and already hating it with a lot of passion =]. launch of project 1 only took like 20mins into my first day back ==... seriously!?!?!?! what is this!!!! at first it looks super interesting and cool till i started thinking about the next step =\. we need to transform a picture we choose into a shelter. kind of like using that picture as the main source of ideas and inspirations. IT'S HARD!!! trust me not easy trying to get something out of something you probably see like everyday...

decided on using a picture of a bird of paradise flower =]... thought that looked cool and got some things i like about it. but but but... when i got home i was doign some research on the flower and seeing some more pictures, i was thinking "OH EM GEE!!! kill my brain cells!!!" i even set my wallpaper as a bird of paradise flower == been looking at it and not inspired at all!!!

well wish me luck x3

Final Day Of Holidays =\

sunday 07/02/10

day 345: sad =\

sad day today not that anything happened but the fact that my long long holidays are coming to an end =\. AND... it was not a good end because i had work ==. i wish i had the day off so i could just chill at home and watch some tv and play some ps3 =]. though i did watch some tv and in fact watch a few episodes of season of fate =]. one hell of a complex storyline that i don't even know how to explain it later when i write up a review ==.

not sure if it's from work and all that working to work... but my ankle hurts really bad =\. cannot put too much pressure on it =\.

so uni is starting tomorrow. my perspectives this year is to keep up my first years results but hopefully improve it alot more =]. put a bit more effort into it and get hopefully more distinctions then just credits. ADD OIL STEVEN!!! GAR YAOOOOOO =].

Not Much

saturday 06/02/10

day 344: hmmmmm

another day and another shift =\.... it's just the same routine everyday... work, sleep and eat ahahahahaha... but it's all about to change on monday when uni starts again =\. well the past few days the night has been quite chilly. get that shivers down the spine every now and then. my housemates been using the ps3 more than me =\ and i was really upset this afternoon when i went to play my MW2 and realised that my housemate erase the saved games on my campaign =\.... ARGHHHHH... guess it gieve me more time to practice =P.

MATT's back to work!!! miss him since like 2 months ago when he went on holidays =]... thank god he wanted to swap shifts with me so i can do close instead. not sure if day tires me out too much or what... because i have been quite tired the past 2 or 3 days when i worked days =\....

Rush Hour

Thursday 04/02/10 & Friday 05/02/10

days 341 & 343: tireddd

well there was a rush hour last night hence i did not post anything on the blog because i realised i had yet another close and open =\. after doing close i wandered off with my manager into the labour club and ended up staying there till 3.30 in the morning!!! he was just having his usual drinks and gamble while i was just there to chill and chat. it was quite an enjoyable night despite knowing i have to work in the morning. well... hence i did not drink =] but you can still have fun without alcohol =]

i was told on thursday night that i would have that fatty (i know who i am talking about ^^) on open for friday and saturday... i was sighing all night saying how shit it would be... BUT BUT as i rushed to work after coming home at 4am and quickly had a shower (still managed to come to work early =]) i walked to work seeing sunny instead of that fatty =].... immediately i say to myself THANK GOD!!! it ended up to be a good shift =] even though we got slammed at about 11.30 while my state manager and how new restaurant manager-to-be here =].

it was MW2 as soon as i got home (not sleep ahahahahahahaha...) but this time on ps3 and a full HD tv =D. totally crisp clear images. thanks to sammy boy for letting me borrow that game =]

Wooooooo Happy =D

wednesday 03/02/10

day 341: =D

the wait it over and i finally brought my tv and ps3 =D! but then again i was quite disappointed that i gave a saleperson nearly a $1500 business and he did not even give me a reasonable discount!!! }=\... i mean barely over 50 bucks discount on a deal this big is just a disgrace =\... at least give me a bigger discount or throw in some extras. i mean i got that like over 30 dollars worth of stuff just from buying a pair of shoes that cost 200 bucks ==. that's how you do business that guy was just like "it's the cheapest you could get it =="...

but nonetheless.... i paid it off and it left a big hole in my wallet =\. hope it's worth it =D. surprisingly i have not played the ps3 that much yet because i brought a football (soccer) and basketball game from flipside and my housemates been on that soccer game for a while since we started playing ahahahahahaha... i just loss interest after a while because soccer games isn't my cup of tea at times especially when im new to consoles =].

well my day has been a great one but also a harmful one xD

Was Quite A Nice Day =]

tuesday 02/02/10

day 340: weather was not that bad =]

well what could i say about today??? the weather was not too bad at all =]... woke up a bit late to realise a bit later after that my armpit area is super sore from that intense work out the night before =\. i mean it felt GREAT but there's a price for everything =\. well got to watch some of my tvb dramas before work =].

work was not too bad despite having to work out front. and just hit the labour club after because daniel is finally 18 so we just want to show him around. well sam showing him around because tonight was only my second night =]. great night just chilling with a few drinks and talking =]

COD ahahahahahahahahahaha... totally addicted these days. i can't get as good as these other people but i am getting better and better =]. anyone reading this and have COD. add me: SteveAND90 =]

Hottest January Day???

Monday 01/02/10

day 339: hot???

i not too sure about this but i was watching the news before work today and they said today was meant to be canberra's hottest January day... huh??? are you serious??? to be honest i did not rant as much as i normally would. like i mean it was hot and all but it did not feel as hot as some other days this month. maybe it's just me =]. well recovered from an unexpected night with alcohol =\... apologies for that short post because i could barely keep my eyes open =\.

wants to reinforce my message last night. HAPPY BDAY to my brother from another mother, ANDREW LE!!! love you long time =P. hope you had a great day. best wishes this year and stay safe! x3.

well O-week started today and i thought there would be something going on around uni because of that. so i thought i would make me trip to work earlier so i could see what's around uni but ended to be be nothing ==. the uni was, you can say, it's dead ahahahahaha... maybe it's just the first day =].

well i had a really really intense workout tonight =] seriously never been so worked out before. i feel great =]
