maxi tune, exams and relationships

2011-06-19T23:35:00.002+10:00

Had another weird set of dreams last night. Might've been from the lack of sleep I've been having lately, could've been from the massive amounts of soft drink I drank as well... Anyways, had a dream I was versing ppl at maxitune and daytona, then suddenly I'm receiving marks I got from some weird exam. I failed English and English Language (scared shitless at this point), I got 100% on Chemistry (should've realised it was a dream then), and failed physics (I don't even study physics :S). After this, the dream shifts to a zombie scenario (I'm far too obsessed with this theme). Shooting zombies with a hand gun with seemingly unlimited ammo, whilst trying to keep the front door locked. Wasn't scary, in fact I saw characters from Seinfeld for some odd reason O.o
But yeah, another one of my vivid dreams that may perhaps be a sign of some deeper internal conflict I may be battling, or perhaps I'm just dying for more maxitune and zombie games.

And regarding the relationships part of the dream, you'll know when I tell you ;P

ConneXions Conference + Day 1 of my fast from facebook :/

2011-04-03T20:23:00.003+10:00

Learnt so much during my time in camp last weekend. New friends, new ideas, new perspective on life, new songs :)

Also agreed to give up facebook for a week instead of food (it appears I do idolise food ><) so currently reading comics, chatting on msn, doing some prep work for assignments, and getting ready for uni tomorrow xP

Only in springvale entry2

2011-03-20T18:05:00.002+11:00

There seems to be a variation of English in Springvale. On frequent occasions, when you ask a person a 'yes or no' question, the response they give is irrelevant to what they actually want: "Would you like anything else?" "Yes" (walks away). "Would you like anything else?" "No" (moves to another section and points) " __ kilos".

ahh if only I were a full time linguist, I'd be able to make a living from studying this strange phenomenon.

its past 8pm, my friend is working the deli all alone. A customer comes up, asks for 10kg of drumsticks. My friend asks why he didn't inform the deli earlier (please note ppl that you can make an order in advance especially if you're making large transaction).
The customer replies sarcastically, "you think i'm so free?"

the irony of this situation knows no bounds.

why do we do it?

2011-02-24T22:22:00.001+11:00

Is there any point in trying again and again? It was once said that Insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different outcome every time.

Perhaps I am crazy.

Just keep swimming~ you'll get somewhere in the end; you'll get no where if you quit now :)

If I can't apologise for being wrong
then it's just the shame on me
I'll be the reason for your pain
and you can put the blame on me

Live and let live, why can't we just abide by that code. Revenge and hatred are such wasteful concepts, but we still harbor these feelings anyways because it's so much easier to hate someone than to forgive them.

Well I'm going to take the harder path for a change.

to whom it may concern

2010-11-03T22:30:00.004+11:00

Here's to this water
wishing it were wine,
Here's to you my darling,
wishing you were mine.

9 hour Induction

2010-10-30T19:35:00.002+11:00

8am to 5pm...............omg i was sooo freaking tired throughout the whole thing, and then there was the cheesy movie we had to watch 'welcoming' us to Woolworths >< wouldn't have been so bad if my seat was right in front of the screen - facing the opposite direction -_-

I wanna go karaoke

walls wherever I go

2010-10-18T20:49:00.002+11:00

Writing original songs are so freaking hard now. I just found out that several lyrics I was working on have already been used by many many r'n'b artists already T_T e.g. "It was just a dream". Sighs. Even some titles I've been working on (Let me be the one). There's no way I can possibly write a song that's completely 100% unique now that there's so many different artists out there flooding the market with their stuff.

whoever started the branch of phonetics and phonology can burn in hell

2010-10-08T00:40:00.001+11:00

i'm sorry linguistics: I'll never be able to tell you what an allomorph or allophone is; I won't be able to distinguish the pairs of consonants in phonetic english (let alone foreign languages). I will however, be able to tell you the difference between connotations and denoations, I will be able to show you multiple examples of a euphemism and dysphemism no matter what the word may be. I can easily (and with a straight face) explain what double speak is using several examples from many literally texts as well as current media articles. So why the fuck won't you assess me on that instead of fucking Daga and Hungarian >.>

(8)And I need you now tonight and I need you more than ever
and if you only hold me tight we'll be holding on forever.
And we'll only be making it right 'cause we'll never be wrong.(8)

I can't believe I missed this song on glee >< but thank you 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' for bringing this song to my attention. If you haven't already, I highly recommend watching this movie :D

~now is the winter of our discontent~

2010-09-20T22:52:00.001+10:00

I'm not bloody God ffs, I'm only human >.> How do you expect me to do all this crap by myself? I have stuff to do too; I have issues in my life too. They might not be as severe as yours, nor may they be similar in context as yours, but I still have them nonetheless.

bio essay is dead :D

2010-09-12T21:27:00.001+10:00

spent the entire day today just working on my bio essay. That's 1408 words written in less than 24 hours, over 10 different scientific journals read through as well for the sweet sweet info found within. only one problem now: im afraid to submit it :S

Pool tournament

2010-09-03T20:44:00.002+10:00

Annual Asean pool tournament last night at Princes (some pool club near caufield campus). Rules were faily standard, unfortunately it was a tournament and not round robin, so first round were elimination rounds :( My partner and I lost the first game, won the 2nd thanks to a fluke shot, and lost after a lead of 2-3 in the 3rd D: we were soooo freaking close, if only i hadn't screwed up my shot, we could've pocketed one of the two, and then gone on to win....
but oh wells, we had like 5 hours of pool afterwards anyways.

Monash Golden Key trivia night

2010-08-19T19:21:00.001+10:00

we came 2nd, lost by 4 points at the end....but we still got the first prize coz the winners wanted our prizes (trading ftw). Now we have free hoyts tickets :)

that is all.

vivid dream post no.2

2010-08-05T23:07:00.002+10:00

lately i've been having some pretty freaky dreams. I dreamt that i was an exchange student over in japan, i dreamt i was in a music comp (and i can remind quite clearly the tunes that were played), i dreamt i was in another zombie appocaplse..only this time i had a friend who had a gun, and we escaped to the air port and flew away to another (apparently) uninfected country.

i think im reading too many comics :S

wong fu productions, why are you soo right :(

2010-08-01T00:33:00.001+10:00

just watched 'nice guy' after christina told me to. it's soo true and sad :( nice guys do finish last, take me for example >.> but do girls really like jerks? i'm pretty sure we can't generalise there, but still...i've only seen a few couples where the guy isn't a jerk or a cocky bastard hmmmmm......

(8)我願變成童話裡你愛的那個天使張開雙手變成翅膀守護你(8)

2010-07-29T19:47:00.002+10:00

yes yes i'm far behind in asian music, but i still love this song, even though i need google to translate the lyrics for me >.<

i feel like i should learn chinese just to be able to sing this :)

(8)I knew I wouldn't for-get you and so I went and let you blow my mind(8)

2010-07-25T22:21:00.002+10:00

it may have the same progression as every other popular song out there, it may have the exact strumming pattern as I'm Yours throughout most of the song, but Soul Sister really does lift my spirits up when i need it most :)

2010-07-08T21:24:00.002+10:00

just felt like it was time to post something up again. been out to city once, been to chaddy three times, and glenny once. attended four b'day events so far (Jason, Ella + Lina, and Nalanda's i guess :S), and wishing i could invite my friends over if they all weren't soo busy :( its been ages since i had some friends over just to hang out, i wonder who's free tomorrow...

no more exams

2010-06-28T19:28:00.002+10:00

finally i can begin relaxing without feeling guilty for not studying :)

last exam

2010-06-23T19:09:00.003+10:00

had a nice chat with my japanese teacher today. According to her, "the ones who do not need to worry always come to me before exams and ask me questions, but the ones who do need to worry don't care". Basically, i only need 15/100 on the exam to pass the entire unit... possible distinction here i come :D

goals for sem1 exam

2010-06-10T21:44:00.001+10:00

50% for bio
33.3% for chem
100% for jap

all of this just to merely pass my subjects ><

better start praying soon :)

Ultimatum

2010-05-30T12:30:00.003+10:00

why do i have to stress myself over you (collective)? (its rhetorical) "don't care for people who don't care for you", does that quote sound familiar to everyone?? well its something im going to listen to now.

I thought things could go back to how they were, but nothing will ever be the same again. sometimes I think its my fault for the way things are now, but now I couldn't care less what you do with your life, thats it: i don't know who you are anymore, you don't know who i am either.

another one of my random thoughts

2010-05-21T22:40:00.003+10:00

just came to me after some musing and pondering (and brooding), why do ppl ignore others? Do we gain some sick sadistic pleasure from ignoring ppl who want to talk to us? You can never fully understand the pain and hurt that comes on the receiving end of this immature behavior. Sadly i have to say im probably an expert on the feeling; i know too many heartless ppl who clearly don't give a shit. The pain should be less, and really i should be able to get over it; after all maybe they're really busy (all year round), maybe they have work to do (liking pointless groups on fb and talking to others), maybe they forgot and didn't notice my blinking window..time after time...
why do i post this though? its not like they're going to see this, the only ppl reading this will probably be my only real friends who will have already heard my ranting already anyways. The ones that truly matter are always out of reach, but oh well, i don't really count for anything right? its just jun-wen, what he has to say is pointless >.>

awesome new book

2010-05-18T01:28:00.000+10:00

if you haven't seen or read it yet, i sincerely recommend Maus to everyone :)
real story about the author's father's survival of the holocaust. its not cliched or unoriginal in anyway, seriously ppl if anyone sees this post (i can still hope can't i?) please please read it :D

things i heard/saw/did last night

2010-05-14T20:55:00.000+10:00

girl on a bus pleading with a friend to beat up her ex, random adults talking about their knives (yes on a train), a begger needing money for some food (accidentally gave him $4+ >.>), random salsa dancers joining the dance floor at cocktail night (due to an absence of bouncers or any type of security xD), and a long and deep convo about life and its many mysteries with metro ticket inspectors at midnight. that is all :)

:3

2010-05-12T19:06:00.001+10:00

just came back from an interview with a korean guy wanting to improve his english... i may be a little forward here, but I may be looking at working three jobs this year now :D

~what a wonderful world~

2010-05-06T19:46:00.001+10:00

gonna be recording some cover vids at uni tomorrow (finally ><) so hopefully i'll finally have some vids to post on this blog :D

ASEAN ball

2010-05-04T20:56:00.002+10:00

That day was hectic. First i arrive at uni late so i can't withdraw money out before my tutorial :S, meaning i had to miss the earliest bus that would take me home in time to go out again to see Iron Man2 with Quang. but oh wells...
anyways, got to glen station around 5ish and met up with quite a few other ball goers as well as andrew and ben xD
ball itself, food was alright, drinks were weak (had about 6 mixed vodkas and sohos)
after party wasn't all that great..i mean seriously sif not sell shots >.>
fortunately we were lucky enough to be able to spend the night at lois' friend's apartment at uni lodge for the night. me and kevin stayed up all night watching harold and kumar, and played a game of pool on the dodgy tables in the basement

ball tomorrow

2010-04-29T00:01:00.002+10:00

yay, asean ball finally on tomorrow but im not pumped for it :( ...everything's tied up with my (un) employment issues. next week i gotta beg a friend for a job at his restaurant, it doesn't matter if its in toorak, at least i'd be working and earning some money >.>

:S

2010-04-23T23:45:00.002+10:00

i think im becoming bipolar D: but in a weird way: happy songs piss me off, and sad songs make me feel better :S that and when i hear ppls problems i come back to life, but if i hear how freakin awesome theirs is i feel like shit again...and i have a lot of happy/sad songs...

mmm

2010-04-22T19:37:00.003+10:00

am i justified in saying im one of the nicest ppl in the world? coz either that's a fact, or i know a lot of jerks >.> i may hate your guts but i still have the courtesy to reply to any comments and questions you may have. do my 'friends' give me the same courtesy?? idk if i should begin to cut ties with these ppl, there's a small chance that they really might be that busy, or that their msn doesn't recieve my messages.. w/e...i guess i'll give it another week before i confront them, it'll be about time anyways

~one week's cap

2010-04-22T00:51:00.002+10:00

its been like 9 days since my last post, so here's a rough blog about what've done since. shopping with cousin, playing piano almost everyday at uni to try and get rid of the stress, no luck with any job application still, and planning out details for asean ball :) life has been getting somewhat better, the ups and downs aren't as bad now, but still...i feel there's very little holding me back from just snapping and yelling at some ppl around me (physically and internet-wise). Im sure that once i find a job all my problems will be solved. if you wonder why that is the case, then clearly you're not in the loop, and please don't ask, unless you're really in the loop and just forgot :S

>.>

2010-04-13T22:11:00.003+10:00

sometimes i just wonder wtf is wrong with ppl these days. idk if its everyone in the world or just the select few i'm 'lucky' to have met T_T. I can understand if you have something else you need to attend to, i can understand why i need to be ignored sometimes, don't worry about it, i don't give a crap right!? its not like it hurts me to know that you see my messages and know that you don't even bother replying

just to clarify, i'm ranting about a former friend who just decided to ignore me for the past two months without any reason. I was on camp so i didn't have a chance to chat with her for a few days, things were good between us before that, and when i come back...its just cold shoulder ever since :(

I just wanna know, WTF did i do!!?? did i annoy you? im sorry, did I irritate you? im sorry. why treat me like this without letting me know what i did wrong? and how the hell could i have done anything wrong!? i wasn't even there :S

you know what the worst thing about this is? i don't hate her, i can't bring myself to be angry at her, yet im angry...its just not fair :(

karaoke-ness

2010-04-06T20:34:00.002+10:00

almost an epic fail today when we found both karaoke places closed at 12.30 today :S so we just bummed around glenny eating, chatting, playing cards, then having heart to heart conversations xP fortunately ktv was open at around 2 when we passed by again, so yea...it was ok. song list was kinda small, and we weren't told that the cost covered food as well so we starved for 2 hours and wasted $130 >.>

All Nighter wackiness :)

2010-04-02T10:02:00.002+11:00

so after the awesome ASEAN lounge night, i decided to pull an all-nighter with a few friends. All was going well, until the creepy old guy who gatecrashed our event came up to us and asked us if there were any other clubs around the area :S... I was like WTF!? who is this guy??? so yea, nice way to start off the all-nighter. Next thing we knew, we were in crown casino, looking for a game we could afford to play. In the end we settled for pokies (such a dodgy game). Made a net loss of $4 though, so i'm not too sad :P after bumming around a bit more and eating kfc (again T.T) we wasted time by walking up and down swanston street XD. In the end we made our way to Mcdonalds coz it was warm, and they had free wi fi :D. And it is there we met a drunk (i assume he was drunk coz of his manner) guy and we started having a pretty good conversation; he even bought us hash browns :S. being 6.30 now, we went back to flinder street station, and there a drunk idiot drew on me with a permanent marker -_-. I was soooo freakin pissed off then, but it was just me and my friend, so we couldn't start anything :( but seriously that guy and two others were pissing off the entire station by drawing on ppl. Where the hell are the police and security people??? shouldn't they be looking after the stations as well as the streets? ahh well, thats just one of my thoughts :P

yes as my post clearly shows, i need a job :( anywhere would be fine (except for fast food due to my eczema). applied at like 20 places in the past few days, so i expect at least 20 replies otherwise my faith in the commercial industry will disappear... XD

fun as week

2010-03-27T13:12:00.001+11:00

I was on such a massive high from sunday till thursday :D i found everything so much more funny and was soo loose and relaxed about stuff. missed practically all my lectures (even the ones i found interesting), played heaps of pool, and started to pick up my gaming again at intencity. now all i needa do is clean my room, start studying, and buy a new jacket for outings ;P

awesome camp again :D

2010-03-21T19:02:00.003+11:00

omfg asean camp was awesome!!! 8D the games, the drinking, the funny random convos, and the dancing. got pretty drunk on friday night, but managed to control myself in so far as to not puke or do anything absolutely stupid. Had sooo many shots of tequila, whisky, and vodka in cabin 7 (the best cabin for parties). next night though...shit i got smashed sooo bad XD half a cup of pure vodka mixed with lemonade first, then 3 cans of udl, 2 shots of whisky, and a shot of absinthe. my memory of the abc party is a little sketchy at some points, but what i do remember is i danced, i drank, i took two puffs of a cigarette (i was drunk, i didn't realise what i was doing :( ), i talked my head off, and i somehow managed to get to my bed safely after all the partying :S i'm still a little hung over atm, so i cbf typing out everything else that happened on camp, if you were there you know it was awesome, if you weren't, make sure you're there next year :)

ASEAN camp :)

2010-03-18T21:26:00.001+11:00

packing all my stuff for camp tomorrow, should be fun i hope :)

(8) in the circle of life....(8)

2010-03-17T23:10:00.003+11:00

yes random posting again, just listening to old disney movie soundtracks now :) very very peaceful and calming stuff. had a great time at badminton again tonight getting all my frustration and pent up energy out during all the rallies and smashes XD idt i'll go to my jap lecture tomorrow morning though...sif wake up at 8am if i'm going to sleep at 1am :P

hehehehe =3

2010-03-16T21:08:00.002+11:00

almost missed out on a kanji test this morning when i woke up at the exact time i should've been outside at my bus stop xP. Luckily the test was in the 2nd half of my seminar so all was good, except for the fact i didn't study for the test, so i'm hoping for a pass now :S. ahh today was such a nice day. After meeting up with a few highschool buddies during my 3 hour break, decided to go home, eat lunch, facebook, then rush back for my bio lab. We got our marks back from our last lab prac, and i'm pretty disappointed with my mark (11.5/15) :(. Most ppl on my table got less than 10, but still...i thought i aced that prac write up. gotta type up my science report for this latest prac; strangely my group is the only group in the entire lab to have negative results Oo' so its gonna be a pretty interesting write up ;P

saturday relief

2010-03-13T20:01:00.000+11:00

omg i love being able to sleep in finally. I would've loved this feeling more if the council workers outside didn't decide to start clearing the nature strip with their loud machines at 9am >.> so anyways, today was full of: napping, reading, gaming, eating, jamming, and preparing for the hw cram tonight and tomorrow :) I also managed to get 35minutes of driving experience in the afternoon :D so i'm on my way :3

yay for work

2010-03-10T22:37:00.000+11:00

i was in such a cbf mood today: cbf going to my chem lecture at 11, got to my philosophy tutorial a bit late. The ASEAN comp day thing was so so, i came late so i missed out on the first stage of the comp, but still, it didn't seem that interesting. after that, bludging and pool-ing till 3.30pm, thats when i had to bus my way down to work :D. Looks like i'm only teaching one kid how to play guitar, just a few issues atm: he has never done anything musical in his life before, so i have to teach him music theory too D: but oh well, $30 for teaching guitar basics. So from next week onwards it'll pretty much be $30 p/h from 4.30 to 5.30 :)

first day of work tomorrow

2010-03-09T21:26:00.000+11:00

Finally get to start tutoring guitar, only problem is I have no idea how fast or slow i have to go with these kids :S (and to all you dirty minded ppl out there...screw you:P). Gonna start with the beginner basics: names of strings and frets, and i'll try to teach them hot cross buns. hopefully that'll take up 45 minutes :)

woot

2010-03-08T19:13:00.000+11:00

well today was supposed to be a public holiday (labour day), but apparently it doesn't qualify as a university holiday :( but oh well. I managed to get most of my required texts, just missing my biology text book but i should get it in about 1.5 months :) Other than that, the day wasn't too bad; almost slept in a few lectures, had more interesting discussions in philosophy lecture, and had my first chem lab tute. It was bad :( not many ppl on my table, and not many of them are ppl i can really partner up with :S

YES!!!! passed the test

2010-03-08T00:22:00.000+11:00

my dodgy method worked XD got 44/50 without using the dvd; just used my memory (they didn't change the questions, and they showed you the answers to past attempts >.>). I am now allowed to do practical work in the lab :)

soooo tired

2010-03-07T17:59:00.000+11:00

gonna try and finish a safety quiz for uni. I needa get at least 80% to past, only a few problems: I don't have the learning material necessary which would make this test a lot easier, I can only get the learning material tomorrow, but i have lab work tomorrow too -_-... Luckily i'm allowed to try the test as many times as i want, so i'm going to record down the correct answers, and try different combos every time i fail :)

some guys have all the luck

2010-03-06T22:28:00.000+11:00

been talking to an old friend recently, he's got girls constantly coming into his life asking him out all the time...and i just wonder WTF IS HIS SECRET!!?? He's not a flirty type of guy, very down to earth, a bit strange sometimes, but he's not a player :S so what is it that gets him all these girls. I guess there really are real mysteries in life.

problems with the net

2010-03-06T01:17:00.000+11:00

Had to delete all my gadgets coz of a stupid trojan virus spreading everywhere. If anyone has problems with: "http://deplayer.net/ptp.html" just delete all your gadgets, it should fix everything up alright :(

days of our lives :P

2010-03-04T22:22:00.000+11:00

well...yeah, today wasn't too bad: first japanese lecture and tutorial. I have the same teacher for both things, and she is a gun XP. Even though the things we're going through are topics i learn back in yr11 japanese (3 years ago ppl -_-), i'm still having fun, coz i'm safe in the knowledge that i should theoretically be top of the class already XD.

posting on tuesday night just before i go to sleep

2010-03-02T23:44:00.001+11:00

things i've done since my last post: went to my first uni lecture, did my first uni music audition, went to that cny festival in kingsway, saw heaps of familiar faces now and then, and got my Ls (about freakin time). so yea, life seems alright for now, wish i could get a job right now though; the guitar guy hasn't replied yet, neither has the ESL tutoring agency :( ... can't apply for any fast food place either coz of my eczema (and Uni has all these posters advertising jobs at fast food restaurants -_-). why do they mock me so :(

AMAZING RACE!!!!

2010-02-27T21:07:00.000+11:00

ahh such an epically awesome day :) First had to wake up at 6 in order to catch a bus at 7, in order to arrive at the starting point by 8.30 XD Had no breakfast, and was almost dead tired when I finally arrived at the church. But it was soooooo worth it. Teamed up with Ruttanunt, Stefan, Calvin, Weiji and lead by our fearless (and laid back) leader Anthony. I won't tire you all out with all the details about all our challenges and everything that happened. I'll just let you all know once more that it was epically awesome; soo much fun and funny things were seen and done :P more on this day another time, for now i gotta rest

Arts orientation

2010-02-24T22:38:00.000+11:00

Well life seems to be getting slightly better. I joined soo many clubs today at uni: Science Society, ASEAN, Chinese Culture, The Big Band, Philharmonic Society and a Christian Community group. I still need to join Table tennis, Japanese club, and the video gamers society if i can find them in time :(... My timetable is sorta sorted out, i've got to buy the books for philosophy separately since my.monash is still screwed up -_-. anyways, tired and hungry from badminton now, i'll write again later.

life with a capped net

2010-02-23T23:28:00.000+11:00

went over my bandwidth limit on the 19th...and my net's plan only refreshed on the 25th, so I thought "six days, i can last that long" no biggie right? but as Murphy's Law states: everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. soo what do i find out today? My uni timetable has a clash between 3 subjects on tuesday. And even better; i can only change one of those subjects, so no matter what i do, two subjects are always clashed. So i decided to do what a friend told me to do and re enrolled into different subjects. Did practically nothing. My chemistry and Japanese clahses on tuesday no matter what i do, so stuff it; i'll just skip chemistry and download the info later coz seriously, i can not be bothered with this crap. of course i still have to go back to uni tomorrow to check with student services to see if there's anything they can do, coz my booklist is screwed up as well since i re enrolled. so yea, just a few more days and my net will be uncapped, but until then... FUCK YOU CAPPED NET =,=

boredom strikes again

2010-02-18T00:21:00.000+11:00

i'm just going to skip my entries for valentines and chinese new year coz really i just cbf. might get a job working with the salvation army tomorrow (or later this day), will be volunteer work so i won't get paid, but apparently they're awesome as referees. as my fb status said recently, i'm going out everyday yet i'm still bored...i really do hate these holidays. If i had a job maybe things would be different, but for now, i'm just bored crazy every day. msn doesn't really help much either, most ppl i wanna talk to are just never online, and some that are online just aren't the ppl i wanna talk to at this point in time. i miss the good old days when ppl you knew were your friends, and ppl you hated would leave you alone out of mutual respect. thats something our society lacks these days: respect of any sort. I'm ranting now, please forgive coz it is 12.26 in the morning as i type this, so yea...

peace y'all

Camp 1 Day 2

2010-02-15T17:49:00.000+11:00

jeese, its been so long since the actual day itself, i can barely remember anything about it XD anyways most ppl were hung over from the trivia night last night. woke up around 10ish, ate breakfast, then we all had to go down to the barn for some 'drama games'. It wasn't too bad, mostly acting and scenario type games, my personal favourite being 'Honey I love you" :P After these fun and invigorating games, we all went back to the main camp site for some 'free time'. Lunch was served soon (bbq). After that, SALSA DANCING CLASSES :D. I'm sooo happy i've finally learnt a real dance. There were more guys than girls, so there were some odd pairings but oh well, it was all good in the end. My memory of the rest of the day is a bit sketchy, so i'll just jump right straight to the main event: Karaoke night and theme dancing :) OMG it was such an awesome night. I know i've probably told most of my friends what happened then, so this is for all you ppl who aren't my friends (i'm jk, you're all my friends i hope :S). I had about 3 cups of mixed vodka at the start of the night, but what i didn't know was that they were serving double shots as opposed to the usual single shot when mixing vodka with other drinks, so after 3 cups (6 shots) i was tipsy already XD I only found out they were giving us double shots after my 5th cup, by then i was practically drunk :P But enough about my drinking. I sang Right here waiting for you with christina, then when i was a bit more under influence, i sang Save Tonight with a few friends. After all the singing we just danced the night away (4am to be precise). I sobered up at around 3, and did not suffer a hang over when i 'woke' up the 'next' morning which i believe is my miracle of the trip :)

Camp 1 Trivia Night :)

2010-02-11T19:20:00.000+11:00

ahh the night of nights, we were told from the very beginning that this would not be a normal trivia night, and damn it was weird. We were awarded bonus points for doing acts of incredible finesse or incredible stupidity. The questions themselves didn't matter any more; most of us were too drunk to really think properly anyways. There were strippers, hair combers, jugglers and a singer (with yours truly). My family came 3rd out of 11 which is a pretty good effort. After the trivia we had a little dance, although the songs did really suck at the start. I tried getting to sleep, but seeing how i was in room no.1, which is right next to the main hall, sleep only came when the music stopped, and the ppl all went back to their own rooms, which was roughly 2 or 3am.

Camp 1 day 1

2010-02-07T17:35:00.000+11:00

I am now regaling anyone who's bothering to read my blog what i did on my epic three day camp with Host Scheme of Monash Uni :D. Cutting through all the boring bits (waiting for ppl, waiting for bus, bus ride, bus got lost, bus ride, arrive, intro speech) i had a pretty freakin awesome day. Tennis courts were kinda shit, i wish i took some pictures to show you all :(. All the D notes on the piano were missing for some odd reason, so no point in playing that. We were all placed into different groups (families XD) so i was fortunate enough to be placed with family number 2 with Celia and some other guy i keep forgetting the name of :( but still an awesome dude. Once we arrived there we did some group activities to break the ice i guess (or waste some time till everything got settled down). I got room no.1 with jeremy, ella and christina, so we didn't have to share with any other randoms. My family was on clean up duty so after dinner (tacos T.T) it was time to clean...woot. After this: some free time, then TRIVIA NIGHT XD such a memorable night which i will explain in my next post when i have time :)

rainy humid day :(

2010-02-04T20:19:00.000+11:00

damn today was tiring. my muscles still ache from last night's badminton session (i'm really out of shape). marched my way to wavos at 2.30 to do some shopping before catching a bus to glenny to meet up with a few friends. Fortunately the rain had ceased by this time so walking around wasn't too troublesome. Played a game of pool (watched ppl play 3 more) then did some more shopping at the centro before calling it a day and caught a bus home, and then it started raining again...just as i got out of the bus =.=

hot hot hot

2010-02-03T23:32:00.000+11:00

had to go for a dentist check up this morning, which meant walking to waverly gardens in the heat, waiting for the bus to come in the heat...after the check up, waiting for a bus again in the heat, then walking home from waverly gardens in the heat. Damn i wish i had my Ps, i really should've gone for my Ls 2 years ago >.>

hungry :(

2010-02-01T18:29:00.000+11:00

went back to school today to pick up my stuff: certificates, awards and my Borders voucher. Would've been done in the morning if the office was able to issue me a visitor's pass, but unfortunately, being the first day of school and all, they were too busy...So we had to come back again after school instead, 6 whole hours later T.T. Walked all the way to glen waverley library with Lawrence and Ye leng, and who should I meet there but the one and weirdly Fred XP who was cramming some unfinished holiday hw before school began (lucky glenny kids, starting at 11 *continues grumbling incoherently). Once in the library i began wasting as much time as possible (1hour), and then it was of to lunch at China Bar. Please note readers, do not go to China Bar for their kuey teow, there's not spice in it at all. The nasi goreng was O.K, not great but ok. Even after eating we had only wasted about 3 hours (it was 12 now). So to use up the next 3 hours we played two games of pool with David to have even teams, and when we grew bored of this we crashed at Ping's place, which is conveniently located a few steps away from Brentwood. So once the bell had gone, and all the students headed off home, we made our way over the oval, through the portables, and into the SLC to finally retrieve our long overdue papers. Seeing all my old teachers was quite interesting, the most popular question being "how are you going (uni wise)?". ahh yes, catching up with them all was fun :). Anyways, long story short (relatively), I'M STARVING NOW!!! HENCE THE TITLE OF MY POST!!!!!!!!!

soooo bored and annoyed

2010-01-31T12:51:00.000+11:00

my capo is officially MIA, possibly KIA, i'd hate to think it went AWOL. sigh...i guess i just have to buy a new one

sunny day inside

2010-01-30T11:40:00.000+11:00

I still can't find my capo T_T after a whole week of searching i have no idea where i could've put it :( so no practise vids or even practise songs as i can't play in the key i sing in, and its just too much hassle to play barre chords all the time.

apocalyptic dream

2010-01-28T15:26:00.000+11:00

had a really weird dream last night/this morning: I was trying to trap an unstoppable creature into a cage specially designed for the said purpose. So while i'm trapping the thing, i get a phone call, or telegram, or some sort of cue letting me know that some ppl are outside looking for me, and the name given was Lisa Pitch :S ( i rememeber this because the name was spelt out infront of my eyes as the person told me the name). The funniest/weirdest thing is that there were two ppl outside to meet me, and they looked like two of my friends; one i haven't talked to in about 4 years, the other one i haven't seen for a while, but talk to over msn often enough. So i get asked if i had witnessed any supernatural phenomena occuring recently, and then suddenly it becomes apparent that we're all part of some anti occult agency (sorta like Hellboy, or Supernatural) and that i was some sort of specialist on biblical myth oO. I said no, i have not seen anything out of the ordinary, "why?", and one of my friends (well the character that looked like my friend) pointed to the sky and said what about that. all i saw was the sky and the moon (even though it was day time), and the sky was changing colour, like it was turning deeper and deeper blue, then my friend said that the moon was as bright as the sun even though it was day time. I know that this doesn't really seem that freaky but for some reason in my dream i suddenly grew afraid. It was then i asked whether this was a sign of the end of days (idk where that came from) and apparently it is :S. So we go into deep discussion about symbology in the bible, and i come to the conclusion that maybe this isn't an act of God, but instead its just the sun going through a sunquake or a solar flare but either way we'd all be doomed coz either situation would end up with the complete destruction of the Earth. So funnily enough it was the end of the world anyways. At that point of realisation, heavy winds and intense heat rays decended upon the area i was at, and then i woke up :)

Thank you for reading one of Jun-Wen Lim's weird and wacky dreams.

Australia Day celebrations Part 2

2010-01-28T12:08:00.000+11:00

I got my call from the police while down at docklands with the others, I could barely hear the officer on my phone coz of all the ppl around. but anyways it turns out it was about the ticket offence all those months ago back on the train and i'm just thinking, WTF IS WRONG WITH CONNEX!!!! I can't believe they'd forward the matter to the police, how freakin up tight are they T.T anyways i'm let off without a fine or record, just a little warning not to use cards i find on the floor again...

so back to Docklands :) the sand sculpture thingy was pretty small, with just a few sculptures :(. After this dissapointing display we headed to Harbour Town >.> and didn't leave until everything was closed. This was pretty much the last thing we did for the day; we went back down to flinders to catch our train which was about to leave in 2 minutes. we got back to my cousin's place at around 6 or 7 i think (kinda blur about the exact time coz i was so tired :P), cooked and ate mi goreng, plus some badly burnt nuggets (i took off the burnt parts of course). and so i ended the day with sing star, and then it was off to my actual house with my other cousin, arriving at ~10, not toooo late xP.

Australia Day celebrations Part 1

2010-01-27T19:21:00.000+11:00

went down to the city with my cousins and friends. I was expecting a lot more activities to be going on down in the city centre but all I saw really was a lot of tourists. Starving and tired, we ate at Melbourne Central; KFC, Subway, sushi, and bubble tea :D. our first stop was the botanical gardens. There were heaps of stalls and other things to see there. walking around in the sunny weather, we saw all these vintage cars parked in a row on display, we saw an air show courtesy of the Australian air force, and we saw massive lines at every food stall (especially the one for ice cream :P). Afterwards, I played chess with Joshua in an authentic park chess table. There was a giant chess set set up as well for us enthusiastic players. After this it was down to docklands for some sand sculptures :)

first wedding

2010-01-25T11:42:00.000+11:00

Just to clarify my title, it was my friend's wedding, not mine :P. The ceremony was quite interesting seeing how it was at a Russian Orthodox church, and the only weddings i've ever seen were either on tv or in the movies. There wasn't any seating plan as such; no side for the groom and side for the bride's friends, instead we all stood inside the church and witnessed the beautiful ceremony up close and personal. Unfortunately (but obviously) most of the ceremony was in Russian XD so I didn't really understand what was happening a lot of the time, but you could get the gist of what was going on. One embarrassing note: I didn't realise that people would attend the ceremony in such formal attire; I was the only guy not wearing a suit :s but oh well, there was the reception to look forward to. Once again, CONGRADULATIONS ULYANA AND VLADIMIR :D

decisions to make

2010-01-23T19:42:00.001+11:00

after spending most of my afternoon looking for my TFN, I finally manage to get started in enrolling into monash uni. After sifting through all the doublespeak a.k.a the 'fine print' i'm not stuck at deciding which units I want to study for the coming semester. To make matters worse, I have to decide for two seperate faculties due to my course being a double degree :(

Australia day Playday at chaddy

2010-01-23T15:36:00.000+11:00

Despite the stifling heat, despite the lack of sleep, despite my monetary issues, I decided to go to chadstone's Intencity for their 'Australia day Playday'; 5 hours of unlimited play from 7-12am. Expecting hardly anyone to attend (because of the hours) I went there with a few friends with high hopes. WHAT PARENT IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WILL LET >10Y.Os OUT THAT LATE AT NIGHT TO PLAY GAMES!? Most of the machines were hogged by noobs (yes I know they're most probably noobs because of their age, but still they are noobs >.>). I have to say that me and Jeremy were probably the best gamers in the arcade that night, this isn't being arrogant, its just the truth. I actually had to wait to go on DDR and ID3...and here i was thinking only pro people still played DDR to avoid embarrassing themselves. However, there was some good stuff out of all this weird crap: I got the 11th rank on Time Crisis 4 (look for my nickname), I got a high score on Big Buck Hunter (not bother looking for my name, no one really plays this anyways), and I finally finished Akina stage XD

wonders of monash uni part1

2010-01-21T23:26:00.000+11:00

We found an arcade and pool room in the basement floor near the food court O.O !!! this is the greatest find of my life so far; I don't think melbourne uni has a pool room (at least any i've seen yet). me and kevin played for an hour, i got totally owned XD. so in parting, Monash Uni clayton campus is practically a mini mall. Everyone should go there instead, screw melb uni!!!

what a day

2010-01-21T23:20:00.000+11:00

had to go to an arts info session at monash uni today. Thought i'd wake up at around 9.30 to get ready but instead i get up at 11 >.> ruining any plans of a good breakfast. In the end the session was a bit of a waste; didn't really learn anything new or vitally important. All the info will be put online anyways -_-

what to do, what to do...

2010-01-20T20:45:00.000+11:00

i find my family life connecting with my social life more and more often now, idk if i should be relieved or worried :S there are people i wouldn't intro to my family members; not coz i hate them or anything, they're just people i wouldn't introduce >.>, but still i see it becoming more and more inevitable that these two worlds should collide, and sooo, what to do :(

poker problems

2010-01-19T23:22:00.000+11:00

Playing zygna poker on facebook as usual, and i can't help but feel like the games are even more rigged than usual :S I've lost to several statistically improbable hands :( why does zygna hate me

-_-

2010-01-19T11:21:00.000+11:00

Just woke up now, decided i'd do the cliche thing and post it on my blog for all to see xP Things i got planned for today: sleep more, do w/e chores i got left, eat heaps, catch up on my movie watching and gaming, and hopefully score 100% on a practise L's license test :D

Post no.3

2010-01-18T00:04:00.000+11:00

Slept on the couch in my rumpus room tonight as my cousin got my room XD. I stayed up watching: House, Boxing, Gone in 60 seconds, some weird german football match, then Resident Evil. So by the time I managed to fall asleep it was around 4am...and i had to wake up in about 5hours time -_-.

musical friday

2010-01-15T18:14:00.000+11:00

woke up around 10am today, not too bad seeing how i usually wake up at 12 or 1pm :P. My unofficial cousin came over for some guitar jamming and attempted covers. The rest of the day was filled with french toast, bad singstar playing, and facebooking.

~i wonder if this is what a blog post is supposed to look like o.o

Post no.1

2010-01-14T22:56:00.000+11:00

my very first post on my very first blog :P
