Soon to come

Yoz! I think today, by far, was the best day in the week. Yesterday I had my first English presentation. I got kinda nervous, haha, and ended up stumping on my words quite a few times! On the overall it was ok though , I think. Anyway, it wasn't assessable so it didn't really matter. There's a book fair going on in the campus right now. I went to take a look today. It was pretty huge and the books are real cheap. Got to go back there again. Sunday's the last day, though, so I guess I'm going tomorrow. The weird thing is, they even sell adult books and magazines. Haha, I was so surprised to see them displayed. It's a school book fair for crying out loud! Nah, I'm not complaining. :P
I went to my friends' place today, too. Played tennis, haha. for about two hours and after that we went out for dinner. It was awesome. This is so strange, but I think if I keep hanging out with them, my Chinese is going to improve. Just today I met another girl from China. So in the end there were four of us playing tennis and all. Since three are from China, so it's very normal for them to speak mandarin. Well, I kinda joined in. Haha, it's damn fun. Also, I'm thinking of picking up Cantonese too. The girl told me that it's the second most used language in Sydney after English. Unbelievable!
Also, I'm turning 18! My friends are all over 18 now and they were just telling me that when I reach that age, they're taking me to the pubs in the city, where the security is tighter compared to those in the suburbs. Oh man, I can't wait~~~~~~~
Another thing, I'm thinking of changing the whole layout of this blog. Change all the design and colours and everything, you know. So yeah, changes coming by the end of the weekened! ^_______^

The scariest dream.

Want to talk about the dream I had last night. Been having weird dreams for the last few nights. THe most recent one, though, was downright creepy. I actually dreamt of myself dying. Ok, the thing was very stupid, it started like "Resident Evil"...You know, with zombies and stuff? And then there's this one part when I had to run pass a group of zombies. Sure enough , one turned around to bite me at the wrist...
Someone rescued me...but I KNEW that I was dying. It's like, I could barely feel anything. Just there shaking and barely breathing, my vision was so blur too. Suddenly I started thinking about everything, family, friends and all the stuff. It was soooo real, though I'm not saying I died before. I woke up and was so shocked.
I don't know, it's really disturbing...been thinking abou it the whole day.
There was actually another weird dream in the same night, though I can't remember that one. It paled in comparison to the dying experience...

Oh man, today's the last day of holiday~~~ So sad, I was so contented spending time at home, hahaaha. Summing up all my activities during the hols...
Been to the city twice the previous 2 days. Watched "The Extra" yesterday, too...Think it's an Aussie movie. Quite a nice comedy, by the way. Spent the rest of the time at home, though I'm not complaining. Don't know why but everytime I leave the house I always get a little dizzy and light-headed. So yeah, better stay in.
Awwwww school is starting tomorrow...

I am by myself

Playing with the shadows on the wall

Everything is cool

I've learnt to live the way, live this way

Nothing is the same, none will be the same

And I miss you...But who are you?

Like the falling leaves

I am so helpless against the wind

Everything is cool

I've leant to live the way, live this way

Nothing is the same, none will be the same

And I miss you...But who are you?

When I go to bed

I lie awake on my own, on my own

And i think of you

But I'm not so sure...Who are you?

My Song

I know a story, I know a song

About my lonely, unguided way

My heart is weary,my hands are cold

This is my music, to soothe my soul

My life's not real, it's not a dream

It's not a nightmare, yet not the best

So many faces, so many names

And yet I'm drowning, here on my own

Still I go on, all though my own

I wanna get there, though not sure where

My life's not real, but not a dream

It's not a nightmare, but now I know

No hand can save me, only my own

So now I will try, to get up again

My heart is weary, my hands are cold

This is my music, to soothe my soul

Witnessed and accident today. It's only just a while ago actually. Ok, here's the story. I went to the art shop in Oxford St. After paying for the stuff, I left the store and onto the streets. There was this loud crashing noise and like everyone else, I looked. Damn...What happened, or what I think happened, was that a a garbage truck hit a the car on the kerb side. Think the driver was of the car was opening the door when the garbage truck passed by. The split second that I saw the accident, I could see the bits and pieces of the car window chattering. Freaky~~ Think no one's hurt though, so it's not so bad.
Ok. That was it. Now back to my life. Been doing a lot of work. Not sure if I can really say I did much. I mean, I many things here and there. Changing projects all the time. Even though I think I spent a lot of effort doing them, no real results were shown. LOL, anyway, now that I have the materials I need, I plan to finish up my design project.

Let's see... Starting from yesterday, I went to COFA to take a look at their library. That's where I'll be heading to again this Friday to do my design project. Anyway, went to Chinatown and "Thai"town too. Bought me the new F.I.R. album! ^______^ The stupidest thing was probably buying the one with the special dvd. At first I thought it'll be the music videos. It actually turned out to be "the making of..." and I couldn't understand most of it, lol! Money wasted~~~~
Anyway, today was quite draining. Went shopping for food right after I woke up. Posted my mail, too, so Dan you ought to recieve it anytime! My trip to the supermarket, somehow, gave me the inspiration for my design project. Probably the dried leaves on the road, but I've decided to do my project with the "4 seasons" as the theme! Hahaha, good start yeah? -_-"
Anyway, right after I got home, I boiled some eggs. Think it wasn't cooked properly coz my stomach felt quite sick afterwards.... :(
Continued with my design work too, putting all my "seasons" idea down! Yay! So yeah, I watched "Ned Kelly" in mid-afternoon. It's just for my Australian Studies project, actually. I'm doing a presentation on this guy, so I thought it'd be a good start to watch the movie on him! Nah, think it's probably just because I'm a movie buff! Throughout the movie I was jotting down notes. The dvd has one specal feature about the history of Ned Kelly , too, so it really helped to a certain extent. Hope the in info is accurate though, hahahha.
So yeah, fixed myself some dinner after that. Pretty decent dinner this time, too. Nothing burned, hahaha, I was so relieved! About an hour after that my brother came home wih his friends though. They wanted to go to a pub for dinner and so I tagged along. Ate and drank a little. Underage, man! hahaha! So yeah, got home and felt slightly tipsy. Not drunk or anything. Decided to just slouched on the sofa and watched tv. Ended up there for hours lol.
What a long day, huh? Anyway I'm going to the Blue Mountains tomorrow. Heard it's very nice, so I'm really excited!

Thank goodness, today turned out pretty nicely. Had a rough morning, though. I got the little "hangover" feeling from last night. Not saying that I'm drunk, but last night wasn't my best. I was pissed at everything, don't want to thnik about the source of it.
Anyway, as I said, wasn't feeling my best until around noon. My friend came to use my internet. Yeah, her house has neither TV nor the net! Anyway, after that we were so bored. What we decided to do was rent a couple of movies to watch. Got us Mulan 2 and Soul Plane. Both were fun! Haha, by the time they were over it was already about 6pm. She got home while I went back to return the movies. There, I foud the show called "Ned Kelly". Bingo... I have a project on this guy. So yeah, borrowed it.
Oh, tomorrow some of us are going to the city. COFA and after that we'll just hang around. I'm thrilled!

Actually, I have nothing to blog today. Just wanted to write something somewhere, and too lazy to find my notebook and pencil. So yeah, this seems like the most convenient way.
Where to begin... The weather's great today. Not too hot, not too cold. I found myself staring out the window a lot too. It felt so...nice? Not really, though. I don't know, whatever.
Want to listen to Thai songs. Haha, don't know why but just the sudden craving. Maybe homesick? Quite impossible, I don't get homesick.
Got this werid idea of tree and cactus. Tree has leaves that can provide shade for people. It is also good to look at. Two way benefit. Cactus, however, has thorns and not much else. It is like a person who helps others and the one who doesn't. On the other hand, tree needs a certain amount water, sunlight etc in order to survive while cactus can pretty much survive on its own without much of anything. So...it's like the person who helps others also at the same time is very much affected by outside influences. The one who doesn't care for others are then the tougher ones? Whatever... -_-"

Wo De Ji Mo De Ji Jie

Holi Holiday!

Oh yeah! From this very moment until the 26th of April is my holiday! Woo hoo~~~~
Well, not that it's REALLY exciting... I mean, I haven't got much plan on what to do yet. I'm going on a trip to Blue Mountains next Wednesday. One of the other days, my Thai friend is taking some of us to the College of Fine Arts. We just really need to know how to go there, for future purposes. He also knows a pub where they don't check your ID, hahah cool. Three things to do so far. The rest of the time? Maybe try to finish up some projects. A hell lot of work to do for these few weeks. Don't wanna be caught in any sticky situation, you know. Oh, my group decided to do Mambo style (yeah, the brand) for the design presentation. Haha, that's going to be so cool ^____^
So yeah, that's it!

New spot!

Oh hey, everyone. I'm actually using the school com to type this out right now. ^___^
I stayed back in school to finish up with my computer studies work. Now that it's done, and i'm waiting for my friend to finish his, I just wanna kill time by blogging this.
Actually our last lesson was over since 2 o'clock. We went for lunch and met this friend of mine, an Indonesian girl, who can speak 8 freaking languages! LOL, incredible....
So yeah, after that went to the library and bookshop to look for some materials for the latest design project which will also be the final project for this term. Important, huh? None found, though. One of these days we will have to go to COFA (College of Fine Arts). The teacher said that the library there has a huge range of books on design and stuff. The stationary shop also sells most of the materials that we need. So yeah, that'll be my next stop when I go into the city.
We did Sets in maths tutorial today, by the way. LOL, good old times with sets.... Hahaha

So much...

Today is just... strange...
I went through a hell lot of, how do I put it....reflection? Yeah, maybe. I did so little and yet, it was as if I've been through a lot. I'm really not sure how to put it, though..haha
Anyway, I completed the last part of my design work. Totally uninspired, that's the phrase to describe it. While cutting the papers and pasting them, my hands were shaking sooo much I had to stop a few times. I couldn't get anything creative out of my head, too. In the end, I just did it for the sake of finishing up the work...It's due tomorrow anyway. I watched a movie today, again. It was plain awesome! "Before Sunrise"... Ok, it's a little embarrassing for me to say this, being a guy and all, but it's one hell of a romantic movie. LOL...so strange but throughout most of the show, I found myself laughing and smiling....all by myself! *Mad*...Anyway, there's supposed to be one movie before this one called "Before Sunrise"... Actually I should've watched this one first, but guess I'll just check it out tomorrow. All in all, watch it if you have the chance...
Oh... I found myself playing my guitar, too. It had been about maybe...2 months at least since the last time I played it. It was really nice. I returned to writing a lot of my thoughts down as well. Poems, songs...all the BS that I do...hahaha. I kinda miss them.... Again, it's been quite some time since I last do something like that.
I also realised how much of a hazard I am in the kitchen, haha. I was frying chicken just a while ago. The oil was ready, so I put a piece of chicken fillet into the frying pan. It slipped off my hand and dropped into the pan so hard that oil spilled onto me. It was freaking hot. Now, I have burnt marks on my wrist, forearm and chin. Thankfully there's no blister, though. I hate that.

Funny til I can't laugh

I've been feeling really lethargic for the whole day. I got up kind of early, at about 9.30, and couldn't go back to sleep. I ended up watching Resident Evil:Apocalypse, a DVD that my brother borrowed yesterday. Seen it all before, so nothing much. Afterwards I tried doing a bit of work. Spent hours doing things that could have been done in half on any other day. Weird....
Got so bored so decided to watch Troy, thanks to my brother again. Same thing, seen it all before. Multi-tasked: watched and did design work at the same time. Unsuccessful~~~~
Fell asleep after that. By the time I woke up, it was about 7pm. Went out for dinner and stopped by the movie rental on the way back. Returned and borrowed movies, namely Excorcist and Before Sunset. Watched Excorcist when I got home. A nice show, though pretty gruesome.
Gosh... I'm so....not in the mood to do any thing. On tv, 3 channels are showing the royal wedding. Sigh...
I'm trying to think of what to do tomorrow. My mind is blank! There's no plan in my head whatsoever. Damn, I don't want it to be like today. Ok, at least I know I have to go grocery shopping. The food in the fridge is running low and I just finished the last drop of Pepsi. Man, I drank it like I did water...

City tour!

Man, I just woke up from a 2-hour sleep... Went on a city tour with the two borhters from my class after school today. It was really tiring, haha. Their house is, like, in the middle of the city! From the balcony of their 39th floor apartment, you can see so many things!
We walked from the house to places like Chinatown, Darling Harbour, walked on this bridge that I can't recall the name, cut through the biggest park in Sydney which I, again, can't remember the name (LOL). We ended it all in a Japanese restaurant that is so famous that people usually have to line up for the seats. We were lucky, though, we got a seat instantly without having to wait! The whole trip was awesome!
Phew, the first week of school is over... It felt like forever. Don't know why, but it felt like the longest week! It's really fun afterall. Unfortunately, from next week onwards, serious assignments will start to come in! It seems that the Design students are reputable for having the most assignments from the Design studios. I mean, every teacher used this reason to give us less work! They'll say something like, "I'll try not to give you a lot of work because I know that all of you are going to have many design projects in the coming weeks"! My english teacher even said something about us having bags under our eyes, from lack of sleep, so large we can go grocery shopping with when the "Landscape" project comes! Gosh, scary!

Sunshine again

I felt really silly for putting up the previous post. Things aren't as bad as it seems, honestly! Today was like the best day so far ever since I got here....
Somehow, everyone in my class (there are only 10 students actually... 3 from Hong Kong, 2 from China, 2 from Japan, 1 from Sri Lanka and 2 from Thailand) really started talking to one another for the first time. I mean, as a class, you know. What happened was that, today we had a lecture at this really hidden corner of the Uni. All of us had a map bustill, it was pretty difficult to find. There's this guy who said he was quite sure where the place was. So everyone followed him. We went into an auditorium and everyone inside looked so... senior-like. One of the girls asked the lecturer and, yeah, we were in the wrong class. So we had to continue finding the right one. At that point the girls and the guys separated coz one of the only 4 guys went to the toilet. The girls went ahead while another guy, who's also my closest friend here right now, and I waited for the toilet-man to come out. Anyway, we ended up getting lost and couldn't find the class. By the time we found it, it's 15 mins past the time when the lecture began.
After the lecture, there was a lunch break. For once, I went to have a meal with my classmates. It was really cool. They, the two Chinese who are also brothers, said they could bring me on a city tour tomorrow because they live in the city. Of course I wanted to go! Haha.
After that we had a tutorial. While waiting for the teacher, the whole class started talking about getting into the wrong auditorium. It was really funny. Had a really great chat with the classmates.We even exchanged phone numbers and birthdays, too! Oh, and the half Jap-half Spanish girl invited us to her friend's party tomorrow. Man, what a timing. Two plans on the same day. Don't know if I'm going because initially I'm going to the city with the brothers, LOL. Can't believe my luck.
One really really sad thing was, during Design tutorial, the teacher told us that 2 of us are going to be moved to another design class to balance up the number of students in each class. Apparently, the other class only has 5 students. The teacher asked for volunteers and gave us a week to think about it. Sigh, just when all of us are warming up to each other... No one wants to go, and everyone knows that if there's no volunteer...the teacher's going to randomly pick out the unlucky ones... Damn it!

Cyclone ride...

Nothing special today. Maybe it's just, for unknown reasons, I somehow noticed more and more people enjoying themselves during lessons. Jealous? Maybe...
I don't know...Earlier in the morning when I walked to my lecture, I worried about things like "Who am I going to sit with", "Am I going to meet anyone new"...blah blah blah. I'm not a worry-wart, but I couldn't help it. Last year, I wouldn't have such a problem. I have a great bunch of friends. Every morning when I go to class I know there're familiar people. I could even plan what to do after school, you know? Like where to go and stuff. Damn it, now it's like...I just want to get classes over with and just go home. Sigh...
Still, it's just the first week right? Hope it's going to get better real soon. I'm just not really used to this.

School School

Wow, two days of school went by just like that! Haha, meeting new people in most of the different classes too.
Beginning wih yesterday. Had English, math lecture and Design lecture and tutorial. Math was soooooo boring. Throughout the whole lecture, we studied about numbers (whole, natural, rational etc)!!! Man, can you believe it!? Hahaha... so yeah, had math tutorial today, too. The teacher asked us to do excercieses based on what we've learned from the lecture. Man, the bore. English lesson was kinda fun, though. Learned about the different forms of language. Basically, it's quite similiar to letter writing whereby you have to use a formal tone and stuff. Design, now, it was so long. For the first hour the teacher talk about the different aspects and elements of design. Also it's principles and examples. Balh blah blah, haha, and after that it was down to real practical work. Got my first asignment, too.
Today, mostly we did Computer studies. The last 2 hours of the day was spent by the teacher teaching us the basic programs of the computer *yawn*. Later we had to write a letter with proper format and stuff. All pretty basic stuff, actually. Glad!

Ready or not, doesn't matter!

So, mate, tomorrow's my first day! Wow...can't believe I'm saying this but, I have to prepare my school materials later. How long has it been? Oh haha, guess it doesn't really matter. Ready or not, tomorrow's the day.
Let's see, English tutorial at 9.00-11.00. A break in between and then Maths lecture at 1.00-2.00 followed by Design at 2.00-5.00! Oh, haha, happens to be the longest day of the week, too!
Oh well, have to get use to the new lifestyle...

Progressing

Hmm, what can I say! I mean, not much is going on, actually. Except for, maybe, my brother's friends come to the house often to do their group work and research. Sometimes it gets kind of suffocating to have so many people in your house all the time, but I'm not really complaining though. It's totally cool by me.
Oh, made a membership for the DVD rental store nearby. Haha, that's where most of my money will be going off to, man! Seriously it's kind of expensive and I really need to control myself not to borrow movies all the time. Anyway, felt really embarassing today when I went to return the DVDs. There was supposed to be a returning box in front of the shop. I, of course, didn't see that and walked directly towards the counter. On my way through from the entrance to the counter, there was this detecting device that you see in supermarkets. So, yeah, the alarm went off! LOL, it was so funny!
So....lesson learnt!
