Procrastination

Tuesday 30/03/10
day 396: tiring

like i always say 'procrastination is a bitch' but every time i fall for that bitch =\... if procrastination was a professional career i, and a lot of people, would be absolutely perfect for the job. BUT unfortunately it's not =\, just a bad habit that everyone (or most people) has which is not a good thing. i put off one thing and then it just starts to pile up. once i start on something it is much harder to out down. it is just that small 'initiator' preventing me from starting something. i need to find out that special initiator so i could start my assignments for uni. i got a lot lined up and yet to start any =\.

besides that work was quite interesting tonight because there was only 3 crew on after 8! so me sammy girl and daniel was on close with sam sam. luckily it was a quite night =]. was out front all night which was not that great of an experience. i'm quite confident on it now though =].

meeting up with the group for our studio project =]. hopefully i won't be tooo tired because we are set for an early start and a long day ahead =].

Weekend To Be Forgotten

friday 26/03/10 to Monday 29/03/10
days 392 to 395: not a happy kid

it's been a while but not because i was lazy but more like i have not been able to write on the blog. well friday i had to go sam sam's place for a party he organised for erin. happy 17th to erin =]. drank a bit but not too much. fell asleep early that night at sam's place.

saturday i was forced to do a 12hr shift!!! 12 to midnight =\.... because daniel fell sick not long into my shift so he asked me to stayed back. i needed the little extra money so i took it.

had an early start on sunday morning at 7.30 but i slept in for work and did not wake up till nicole called me at 7.45. thanks for her understanding i rushed to work at 8.30 and yeah. stressful day at work.

BRONCOS... arghhhhhh one of their worst starts into the nrl season possible!!! }=[. after the 48-16 thrashing by the warriors on that afternoon we are now sitting second last on the table. with major injury blows and losing a lot of talent we have been on quite a downhill performance. hopefully as the season picks up we will pick some form and provide us with some grade A games.

after work on sunday.... ahahahahaha let's just say i got drunk and the night went out of control =P. we will stick it to that. thanks to asanka == and i still need my groceries back!!!

Volunteering???

Wednesday 24/03/10
day 390: tired

realised i titled last night's blog entry with having my hair tied up but did not anything about it ahahahahaha... well yeah yesterday i decided to tied the back of my hair together so it doesn't irritate me and the mullet is just ugly to look at ahahahahha

well after talking to my friend who actually did the volunteering program last year, i came to a conclusion that i am really keen on going. i mean despite that i might not have enough money to go it would be good if i could get sponsored =D even half of the fares it would be great! my friend said it was worth going and she learnt a lot. most of all the program counts towards your credit points in your studies =D. that's the main point that got me tingly =D

well even though i'm tired i managed somehow to stay up a few hours playing COD ahahahahah because i was eager to level up =P

off to bed and going to that info session for that volunteering tomorrow =]

should start getting off my ass and do assignments =]

Hair Tied Up =D

Tuesday 23/03/10
day 389: new style?

was my day off from uni today and well all i did was slept in =D. because i was playing COD till like 4am in the morning ahahahahaha... received a wake up call from work asking if i could do a 11 to 5 instead of my closing shift. i accepted it at first but then i called back to reject it because i was tired and wanted to sleep in. also i had a info session for some volunteer work that i'm interested in going. of course i did not end up going to it because i was way too tired i just slept past it =\.

well about the volunteering program, well the uni is doing a program where people/students can be an overseas volunteer for various programs in different countries. such as conservation and teaching programs. as much as i have the interest in doing it. i mean i get to learn something at the same time help others. and even better is having to do it overseas!!! BONUS!!! but as always i like to say; why can't i be wealthy??? i don't think i can afford the trip there and back... just a bit too much even trying to save up these days because off my government money was cancelled.

had quite a nice chat with sammy boy after work at the pub tonight. found out that he will be moving out of canberra by the end of the year. quite sad but at the same time happy for him. it's a shame losing such a good friend but i'm sure we'll keep in contact =]. happy for him that his finding his path in life.

well... early lecture tomorrow so better get to bed. NIGHTS!!!! x3

COD GALORE =D

Monday 22/03/10
day 388: tired

well my day started off early with my tutorial presentation this morning and let's just say i'm relieved that it's over. assignment free for a while =D (doesn't mean i don't have anything to do till then just saying i can relax a bit before getting started on others)

had a field trip today for studio for project 3. top of red hill and our brief (roughly) is to make a place for meditation and gatherings. i don't know what's about the site but something bugs me and i don't like it every much.

not a very good end to my day with broncos losing to raiders at canberra =\... i mean i am very very upset!!! lack of defence and lack of ball control in first half cost them the game. was not easy having to live near canberra stadium and hearing all the cars beeping their horns going down the street. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

what was my solution to release this anger??? well i played COD for about like 6hours ahahahahahahah i realised everything there and now feeling quite good =] except i have like RSI from playing it for soooo long ahahahahah

Just Lazy =\

Saturday 20/03/10 & Sunday 21/03/10
days 386 & 387: lack of sleep

weekend has been a lack off sleep but nonetheless it was quite enjoyable (but that is after all the assignment and work stress)...

saturday was just spending time finishing off my powerpoint for the group presentation which is tomorrow =\. after a short notice i had to do the whole presentation again. i mean i enjoy doing things like that but such a short notice it kind of made me angry }=[. did not know how long it took for me to do that powerpoint presentation! like nearly an all nighter! was quite surprised because i had everything in front of me and all i had to do was put it in. i guess when it comes to stuff like that i want perfection hehehehehe... i like to make it all technical and sophisticated but at the same time good for the eyes =P

both saturday and sunday i had to work =\ and both was the 12-5 shift. because i asked if i could do weekend days so i could play basketball after (unfortunately i don't think this will happen anymore because sammy boy ain't doing the rosters anymore =[ ). did not actually get to play basketball this weekend since i had to come home after work on saturday for the assignment and today i went bowling for ally's farewell. wish her all the best in her new job x3.

wish me luck for the presentation tomorrow!!! because all i am going to do is go up and give an impromptus speech =]

Review: Season of Fate

it has been quite some time since i wrote a review on movies/drama/anything so i thought since i have some spare time at the moment i would start writing them again =]

well i will start with season of fate that i finished a while back but did not have the time to write a review for it. first impression of the series when i saw the preview was like 'ermmmmm doesn't sound that great' and i typically loose interest when it come to that 1900s settings. not sure if the time frame is correct but the time when china was influenced by western culture, so like people starting to wear suits and dress more western in fashion. generally these settings gets me off the series...

watching that series was like solving a piece of jigsaw puzzle because they just had way too much going on!!! the war between the two restaurants, the relationship between the 3 main protagonists, the link between michelle's role and this guy with the glasses (no clue who his name is) and such... it was just way tooooo complex for a short series.

michelle acting as a mental patient was just not the right role for her! come on guys!!! it just put me off when she tries to be all innocent and childish when she simply don't have that face for it! i really felt sorry for derek's character... he went through soooooo much in that series and he should of got more than he deserves. but what i was happy with is getting to see Ho Jeh acting again =]. i miss her because the last time she acted for tvb was like back in best selling secrets.

one of the lamest thing was how that guy in glasses got shot in the head in the last episode but still managed to survived ==.... WHAT THE HELL!!! he was shot point blank range with the shooter like a few feet away!!! AS IF THAT WON'T KILL SOMEONE!!!

anyways... the series was complex and all over the place. probably not worth watching if you have not already seen it. however roger kwok did put up some funny scenes that kept it going =]

Oh Weekend =D

Friday 19/03/10
day 385: ohhhhh relieved

what a relief to have handed in my essay for history today =]. the whole day i was just like YES YES YES finally get to have a breather after like 2 weeks of intense adrenaline rush =\. had a pretty cool and relaxing studio lesson so i'm not complaining. just a general discussion with my group for the assignment that was launched at the beginning of the week.

met up with jack and eva tonight for a catch up =]. decided to eat something not asian this time and walked into kingsley's steakhouse. great food there, the steak was cooked quite good and the service was great =]. waiters were coming over asking hows the night and is everything okay. it was great! EXCEPT i thought there was a salad missing on the plate. just a piece of steak and chips are a bit plain =\ needs some greens to garnish the dish to make it a bit more inviting =]. overall is great, would definitely recommended to people and i will sure go back to that place =]

Another Adrenaline Rush

Wednesday 17/03/10 & Thursday 18/03/10
days 383 & 384: feel the rush =]

well this will be the last assignment rush till i get a break for a few weeks before this all starts all over again when i return from my midsemester break =]. i mean it's a happy face for the fact that get a rest and maybe start on it earlier this time but i guess i will be getting a sad face when the time comes and i'm here moaning about my dreadful long nights =\.

well that last 2 week endings have been almost like an adrenaline rush through my entire body. procrastinating and then rushing through the touches before the deadline! woahhhhhh it was intense. seriously, i mean i say it every time, i need to learn to start things earlier! have not worked since yr12 ahahahahahahaha... fails every time that habit =\ not good.

well luckily i know my topic quite well so i could of done most of the writing without much information because a lot of them were stored in my brain already thank you to high school =D. i was confident that i did not have to do an all-nighter and i was that confident i even went out for a drink with ally and daniel after work tonight =]. i had a beer (not too much) because i know what will happen after heheheh (drop dead and fall asleep)

well that's been my 2 days =].... start of the weekend =D rest and putting some finishing touches to my group presentation with simone and shima =D. happy that i was on the right track (however not sooo sure about the case study that i finished tonight but fingerscrossed =D)

Losing Directions

tuesday 16/03/10
day 382: lost

well today i spent a big deal of the day trying to do assignments and i have to say by the end of it i feel like i lose my sense of direction. i simply do not know where to go =\ because in the assignment the topic we chose is something like images that reflect on society. at first i wrote something that well i already knew it was out of topic but then i redid another one. this time i thought i'm not sure if i am on the right track or not =\. i feel like as if i got stuck in the middle and don't do if i should go forward or backward. sooooo confused!!!!

that is all for today

Epic Fail =\

Sunday 14/03/10 to monday 15/03/10
days 380-381: too much sleep little work =\

in that 2 days thats what i felt =\ as little as these 5 words, it has described my lack of uni and commitment to what i am doing =\. on sunday it was probably the worst epic fail of my life by falling asleep WHILE getting changed!!!! i woke up the next day half naked and was like huh???? was thinking do i have glandular fever because i get tired soooo easily! i've slept just a tad toooooo much over this 2 days that i barely touched my work!

so today, wednesday, i need to get on with the work before i get slammed by my group partners and well myself in general.

What A Week

wednesday 10/03/10 to Saturday 13/03/10
days 376-379: tiring week

been a few days since i touched this place and it's only now i that i got the time to write because towards the end of this week was just been amazing busy!!! barely have time to breathe with the assignment coming to a deadline. i never learn do i =\ always having these late nights and last minutes. i'm not sure if the way the pressure forces me to think and things but sometimes it works quite well. but i rather not have that strategy just because it's going to kill me later.

but back to the story wednesday and thursday night was just work and then home hop onto the assignment. i should of took these nights off but i really needed the money as well so i had to do it. also missed out pretty much the whole week of uni =\. hope i didn't miss much. finally got my design up and done =]. i finished early on friday morning but was scared if i had a nap i would not wake up in time to hand it in. had to wait like 4 hours for my presentation =\ all the things i wanted to say was totally deleted by the time i got up to present. quite nervous even though it was in small groups rather than the whole class at the beginning of the class. LUCKY ME i guess =]

i thought i will give myself some relaxation at the end of the week =] went to the pub with daniel on friday night. of course it was a few drinks and playing pool =]. and my saturday was just staying home playing some COD and watching some tvb =] nothing better a good saturday off from uni and work =D

monday 08/03/10
day 374: the usual

canberra day public holiday and because i did not have to work (even though i was dying for a call from work today because it would of been double time hehehehehehehehe)... so what i decided to do for the day off???? well.... staying home doing assignment =\. can't get any more sad than that i suppose my only day off for the weekend and i had to work on an assignment. well not all day because first i had to go grab some materials (that i don't know if i still require them anymore) and of course TVB is always a distraction =\. in the end i managed to get a sketch final model done so i could get some feedbacks tomorrow when i see my tutor =]


hmmm... what else could i say about the day besides that? have to say it's only been 8 days since summer ended and already that autumn atmosphere has already set in =\. getting a bit rainy and the night are getting quite chilly, for instances, tonight is windy and temps only 16 degrees! as low as 11 during them rainy nights =\.

Rainy Weekend

Saturday 06/03/10 & Sunday 07/03/10
days 372 & 373: RAIN

well i kind of fell asleep last night and did not have time to write anything this morning since i was running a bit late to work =\. well the weekend has been just 2 early mornings of work from 7.30 to 3 and 4 in the afternoon. so technically after work i was soooo tired i did not want to do anything after besides just chill. TOTALLY NOT MOTIVATED!!! arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

saturday after work alex, sam and me had a small lunch kind of thing along the lake as a farewell for alex =]. happy that he is moving on towards his goals but sad that he is leaving =\. we even tagged a tree saying "farewell alex" =D. i here wish him all the best back up in queensland with the family and good luck with army training =]. we see you hopfeully before you get sent to training camp =].

today felt like it was 2 days in length! it was sooooo long and tiring just then when i was brushing my teeth i was like "woahhh it felt like 2 days rather than 1". like i said not motivated one bit so did not touch any uni work =\. not a good thing. i planned to go bunnings to grab some materials after work but it was just pouring down rain so i decided to do grocery shopping instead.

that is my rainy weekend =]. thank god it is canberra day public holidays tomorrow =D. get to enjoy my day with a touch of uni work =D

i need to say this every post and hopefully it will one day hit me and motivate me =D. ADD OIL!

Ice Skating =D

Friday 05/03/10
day 371: raininggg

just going to make it a quick dash down with this post since i need to get a nap before an early shift in the morning. well the day in a few words =]. ICE SKATING =] i little gathering for alex before his departure for queesland. sad but happy for him because he get to focus on army training that will be happening soon =]. first time ice skating for like years and it was only my second time ice skating! trying to learn skating backwards but epic fail =\. was quite fun till i got a massive blister on my shins. one of the biggest surprise was seeing my uni friend, simone, there tonight! i was just about to hit the ice and she popped out saying hi! was like OMG HELLO!!!! what's the odds of seeing someone from uni here =D. that was my surprise of the day =D

uni side of the day... finally after soooo many weeks my shelter has finally taken shape and leo (my tutor) has finally said "i like it" to my sketch models. i mean he did say that a few times but it was not towards the final product yet. but today i brought in 2 that could possibly turn into the final product and he was like it's great! i was scared that he would reject my ideas =\.

well that is it for the day =]. had a good one and let's hope tomorrow will be the same =D

So Poor =\

Thursday 04/03/10
day 370: pooooooor

well lately i have been poor and broke! trying to save as much as possible and not going below that 5000 threshold. but maybe that will be broken by next week. because first i need to pay rent and second i need to pay back a friend a fair bit of money =\. i mean i feel bad leaving it for a while now already so i need to pay him back. but yeah ever since i brought out my wish list i have been on the low again. i mean i don't regret my choice just that it's going to be hard saving it back up again.

my internet is still giving me the shizzzzzz so i would just stop my anger here since it's the same issue that i already explained.

well i think that's it for me =] good night!

Wireless = FAIL!!!

Wednesday 03/03/10
day 369: not happy

going to rage about my internet again since i have not done it for a while. i think it's about time i rage again because it truly is SHIT!!! we recently switched to wireless due to the cable one broke and since then the wireless connection just keeps dropping }=[. like every 5 or so minutes it will drop out and then reconnect again. so today i tried to download something and after like 10 attempts i just got tempered and started going nuts. i was like ohhhh my goddddddddddddddddd!!! HOW SHIT CAN YOU GET!!!! it's just ridiculous how bad internet can get down here. i mean i stopped complaining about the speed of it but come on i can't do anything when it keeps on dropping out!

okay... *breathe* alright on a more happier note =] i did some studio work today and after a night of well slow progression... i made something that aims towards the final product. i think it's looking quite good =]. going to stop it there and maybe some do some tomorrow. or might even stop it there and wait till feedback on friday =].

need to start on other assignments =].

Slept @ Sam's

Monday 01/03/10 & tuesday 02/03/10
days 367 & 368: lazy =\

well it's has been a lazy 2 days spent over at sam's place. on monday night after uni i went to sam's place for a little farewell thing for alex. nothing big was just the three of us and sam's girlfriend there. random conversations and a bit of drinks set the night =]. slept over at sam's that night since it was a bit too late to catch the bus and i had no money for taxi (although they gave me money for a taxi but i didn't take it, i would feel bad) so i just slept at sam's house and caught the bus with him back home the next day. i thought it was quite relaxing but back to the uni side =\.....

despite having 2 days off i have not done any work since then =\. but to be honest i am really really stuck at this project. i have done some good sketch ones however since then my mind has been BLANK!!!!! i just can't seem to crack the codes in my designs. i got a new material the other day and started on one model. now i'm working on another and let's hope it goes well for till friday.
