battle scars #205

i kind of didn't want to post for today yet

because i want everyone to read my epic post about the Strokes

so go read below if you have not

go! go! go!

---------------

so if you have read it

then you would know i was quite battered and bruised from it

here listed are my battle wounds:

bruise on my left hip:

it actually looks better in the photo

than it actually is.

imagine the dark pink bits

well, theres bits of purple in it.

and the whole area has a tinge of purple/blue/brown.

finished imagining?

yeah, that's how it actually looks.

random dot bruises on my knees

funnily enough, they're the same shapes as the cut outs from the barrier in front of me.

which makes sense

and explains how i got them in the first place.

i also have a friction burn on my right wrist, which hurts to touch

and also my chest hurts, especially on the left side.

i told you the crowd was brutal.

THE STROKES! #205

i clearly am not actually posting on this actual day

since i got home at 1.30am

but since i need to keep the 'one post every day' thing

i'll have to back track.

so, me & emma saw the STROKES

at festival hall

and well, we weren't planning to get there as early as we

actually did

its just that i took the bus to the city at around 4

and my bus passes the venue

and i saw people there waiting already.

so i freaked out, & called emma.

& didn't go to friday afternoon training like i was going to

so that we could go sit at the door.

so after rushing around mc to get our supplies.

ie. dinner, random snacks & taking our last bathroom break before we go there

we ended up getting there around 4.45

and sat down at door 11.

and we were second at our door

well there was a couple, and then us.

and we sat & waited

& ate

& took photos

& waited.

well, at about 7 we finally got up & was let in.

not before they told us that cameras weren't allowed though, which was very sad for me.

and also, emma had to 'cloakroom' her bag.

which took agesss, because she kept having to go back and forwards because she forgot things. and i had to let a couple of people in front of me.

luckily, it was not detrimental

because i managed to obtain a floor spot in the front row

next to the couple that was at the same door as us

and this guy that emma manage to befriend during the course of the concert.

and we waited quite a while, til we were forced to get up

and everyone RAN to the barriers.

and me and emma still managed to keep our front row position along the barrier.

then Gypsy & the Cat came out

i was glad i did listen to some of their songs beforehand

because i knew them when they were playing.

they were pretty good.

& the drummer was awesome.

seriously, emma described it as being orgasmic for him.

lets just say, just by looking at him you wouldn't think he was just playing drums at a concert.

& the bassist, was just this afro guy.

and he was just like chilling.

which was pretty funny,

especially compared to the drummer.

and i also liked the lead singer :)

i didn't manage to get photos of them

because the security guy was standing right in front of me

so i didn't want to get caught and everything.

after Gypsy & the Cat, there was more waiting

since they had to remove drum kits and set up

and there were these sparkly drum sets.

and i didn't think much of it

because i thought there was only going to be one support act.

but the lights dimmed again

and much to my surprise it was 'the Like'

(surprise because i read somewhere that they weren't supporting the Strokes for melbourne. just for sydney)

and odd too, because i used to listen to them

i have a couple songs from their album 'Are you thinking what I'm thinking?'

but the stuff they have out now

or what i heard is that they've gone more chick rock

more like The Donnas now.

i really like the chick who played keyboard

she had the cutest hair.

also, during their performance

some of The Strokes were watching them from the side

:)

after the Like, more waiting.

then the beginning of 'We Will Rock You' stand playing

and the enslaught began.

everyone went nuts and lots of pushing.

and being in the front row, I was being pushed into the barrier in front of me.

I was in pain a lot of the time because of the pushing

a few of the times, I felt my lungs getting squashed

and the thing is it didn't alleviate during the course of the concert

it just kept going

to the point where people in the middle of it

wanted to get pulled out to safety by the security guards.

and some people even had their arms completely around me

as in, for a few songs when they clapped

they clapped right in front of my face

at least i think it was a chick though.

and then there was a point, this other chick shoved past me

and managed to squeeze into the front row

and she was fully shoving me

i was very pissed off

i tried to elbow her.

and kick other peoples legs away.

YES.

it was brutal.

the most brutal concert i've ever been actually.

at points, i felt a little violated.

but that aside, it was a pretty good concert.

though i would have enjoyed it a lot more,

if i wasn't in pain a lot of the time.

so, to the actual band now.

i was standing directly in front of Nick the whole time,

who was massively awesome at guitar.

and was always my favourite member.

and he truly cemented his position as my fav member by his awesome guitar skills.

truly amazing

♥

& i think nikolai fraiture is now my second fav

he was so cute

just like calmly playing his bass.

he looked like he was just chilling, you know?

and he was dressed cute.

haha.

albert hammond, jr. was a cool cat in a white suit

i thought he held his guitar funny.

i felt like he was kind of holding it like a ukulele

julian casablancas was pretty awesome too

being all cool, in his sunnies

and he had like a green streak in his hair

which i thought looked funny.

& i didn't quite get a good pic of fab though

i was limited by the capacity of my phone

which isnt very good at all.

bummer.

but obviously fab had awesome drumming.

(i was tempted to say he had fab drumming, but that's just wrong to say. haha.)

though i did manage to get a lot of pics using my phone

(at this point the security guards weren't worried about the photos anymore. but more or less, people not dying in the mob)

but i realise now that i was taking them in the wrong mode

so 80% of them are too small or pixelated.

sigh.

here's the set list as well:

i keyed it into my phone while they were playing

so i'd remember

New York City Cops

The Modern Age

Hard to Explain

What Ever Happened?

You Only Live Once

Soma

Is this it

Vision of Division

I Can't Win

Reptilia

Last Nite

Encore:

Juicebox

Someday

Under Control

Heart in a Cage

Take it or Leave it

i was so glad they played 'Heart in a Cage'

i went a little bit nuts

(not that crazy though, because i couldn't, due to being squashed to oblivion)

as i mentioned before, Nick was freaking awesome in Heart in a Cage & the other songs with crazy guitar solos.

and i'm also glad that they played 'Is this it'

:)

but bummed they didn't play 'The End has No End'

and i felt that ending with 'Take it or Leave it' was a weird choice

i would have expected it to be 'You only live once' or 'Reptilia' or something

it was also strange they didn't play '12.51'

but it was still a pretty awesome night

despite the pain.

i think it probably rates as my second or third favourite show ever

not sure which one

but if i wasn't in pain, and the crowd weren't so crazy

it might even have come first

and so Yeah Yeah Yeahs is still my fav show

because i was still in the 2nd row & i could go nuts & i touched karen o :)

but it was pretty EPIC.

and i mean, the Strokes was my ultimate

the ONE show i wanted to go.

so it was a pretty amazing experience for me.

♥

more about what happened: here

#203

i had a terrible nightmare yesterday

i dreamt that i completely slept through the strokes concert

as in i completely missed it because i was still at home sleeping

luckily it was just a nightmare.

♥

gypsy & the cat #202

still not over inception yet.

haha.

been listening to Gypsy & the Cat

they're pretty good

a Melbourne duo that have been compared to Empire of the Sun

i can definitely see why

they do kind of sound like them

but less upbeat, and less electro (i think)

but their sounds are richer.

there's something a bit more there, a bit more depth perhaps?

also, in Til tomorrow the lead singer sounds a bit like Liam Gallagher (Oasis) singing Wonderwall

they'll be playing as support acts on friday for The Strokes

which i am uber excited about :)

i also like it when i like the support

because there hasn't been that many times where i've quite liked the support as well as the band

its usually me having to sit through the support to wait for the main act.

but yes, they're pretty good.

but there's another band that they sound like

but i just can't put my finger on it

damn.

INCEPTION #201

man, it was good.

i really want to see it again, to pick up the details that i probably missed the first time.

and i have a

new crush now.

along with alexander skarsgard.

joseph gordon-levitt is cute :)

i loved the moment (which was one of very few light moments in the movie) where he was like

"gimme a kiss."

haha, cute :)

anyway, if you are going to watch it

(& yes, i highly recommend you watch it)

stop reading here

------------------

what i have gathered from doing some extra reading and thinking about it:

some sites i have gathered from include these: #1 #2 #3

interesting facts:
- Ariadne is named after a the mythical Ariadne who helped Theseus escape from the Minotaur's labyrinth read more here. there is the obvious connect here, with the mazes and you can see most traditional labyrinths are circular, like the one she drew in the movie
- Mal in latin means evil, i also read somewhere that it might have meant unfortunate, which makes sense with her convinced that she is still in dream state and tragically commits suicide because of this.

my take on the ending:

it is obvious that the director wanted us to be left hanging and we can choose which ending we wanted for cobb.

for those who don't want to think as much, or want a happy ending, you can choose to believe that he woke up back into reality, and that the top totem would eventually stop spinning.

and there are other evidence that might support this theory:

when cobb is in reality he does not wear a wedding ring, however in his subconscious he does wear a wedding ring. in the last scene, he does not have a wedding ring on.

it is also damn well possible that he woke up on the plane, then went through the airport and back to his children. Saito seems to be powerful enough to deliver on his promise.

the totem also looks like it might stop spinning, but then again it has spun much longer than any other times when he is in reality.

so the other option is that, cobb is still in a dream in the last scene, probably in a limbo.

because 1. as mentioned the totem has spun for a long time, much longer than any time in reality

2. his children look exactly the same throughout the movie, wearing exactly the same clothes as in his last memory of them. but we know that quite a while as past since he has seen his children and so they must have aged if in fact he did get to see his children again. (though however, if you check on IMDB there are two sets of children who play the kids, so perhaps they did age and the fact that they are wearing the same clothes is messing with our minds. also, someone else notices that their shoes are different to previous visions of them in the film, but one might still question why the kids look the same despite the different shoes. since the different shoes may just be a slightly different projection as it has been a long time since he has seen his children, but the projection is largely the same)

	Claire Geare	...	Phillipa (3 years)
	Magnus Nolan	...	James (20 months)
	Taylor Geare	...	Phillipa (5 years)
	Johnathan Geare	...	James (3 years)

3. we do not see cobb go through each dream levels, but he wakes up on the plane. this is strange because for all the other characters, the each woke up from each level before they came back into reality.

4. also, when he does wake up there is no dialogue and everything around him seems like a blur. also, everyone is sort of smiling at him, and everything is happening as he would have expected it to, thus it seems like cobb is filling his dream with his projections of reality and how he would expect it to be in real life.

but the question with this theory is that, if he is at the end in another limbo state, how did he get there?
and the other thing is that since when has he been in a dream? from the beginning? from the plane?
I thought this was an interesting observation to support the possibility that he has been dreaming all along: (taken from: here)

Directors drop visual hints as to their main character’s true nature all the time. Remember the scene when Dom looks into the mirrors with Ariadne and we see that endlessly repeating image of him? That’s Dom’s reality. He’s lost within all of these dreamworlds and he doesn’t know where he is.

Mal keeps appearing in every one of Dom’s dreams to break them up. If this interpretation of “Inception” is correct, then Mal is not a projection of his guilt, but a protector. An angel of sorts. She is part of Dom’s subconscious, yes, but she’s there to help him wake up, even if he thinks he doesn’t want to. She is trying to provide that kickback for him.

This interpretation is supported by another Nolan-dropped clue. There was a scene with Ariadne where Dom joked something about “Why would you want to wake up?”

i thought that was pretty interesting, especially with the mirrors that i had never thought about til now.
i also like the thing about mal being protector of his dreams, kind of like how fischer had his security to protect him as well. it does make sense, kind of. except for the fact that in the second scene if mal was protector of his dreams, why would mal be talking to saito, instead of killing him?

in my mind, i think these are the two possible endings: he is in reality, or he is in a dream state at the end. but there are some more theories here.

but in the end, no matter which theory, he is no longer paranoid about whether he is in reality or not, since he walks away from the totem before he truly knows whether he is in a dream state or reality. but throughout the movie he constantly checks, with a gun in his hand whether he is still in a dream, as if he was still in a dream, he'd shoot himself to come out of it.

but in the last scene, he simply doesn't care because he is satisfied with this 'reality' where he can be with his kids.

funny mommy #200

ZWEI HUNDERT!

i know i spelt mommy the american way

but i didn't want it to be spelt mummy

like the ones in tombs

because i am actually referring to my mum

not embalmed dead people.

and i wanted it to rhyme with funny

but yes,

emma came over today

and the funniest thing happened

well me and emma were playing like guess who and cards

whist on my bed

and we started playing big two

so i got my mum to play with us

i also must add

that for those who have not met my mother

she just looks and dresses like a normal asian mother

and its pretty funny

because i know plenty of parents

who get all caught up about cleanliness in the house

like you can't eat in your room

or on the couch

or whatever

but my mum's very laid back about this

she eats whilst in her own bed

and so there she was in front of emma

eating chocolate

and leaving chocolate crumbs all over my bed

and then

whilst we were playing big two

in front of emma,

my dearest mother,

let one rip!

HAHAHAHAHA.

and it was very loud as well.

and emma was absolutely hysterical

:)

workstuffs #199

so a lot of you know

i always work on saturdays

(pretty much always)

and i used to do the 10-6 shift

but now my boss has wanted me to do the 9-5 shift

because it gets pretty dark at 6 and stuff

but the weird thing is that

though i'm working the same amount of hours

as when i'm working 10-6

9 til 5 goes so much quicker

which i definitely love.

i think because after i get back from lunch

its usually around 2

and i only have 3 hours left

and i have already been at work for 5 hours.

yes, i quite like this shift much better.

♥

#198

sorry about not being on time with posts and everything

just been feeling very run down

and have not completely got better from my sickness

and also, need to get back into the habit of uni

and study and everything

so,

bear with me, please :)

creepy woody #197

http://www.collegehumor.com/article:1806994

go to link

and listen to the audio

:)

creepy.

haha.

#196

so i just found out what my research project report will be

along with which supervisor i have

and the topic is: What key properties, that can be calculated from a molecular dynamics simulation, can be used to determine the phase(s) present within a liquid?

Find examples of their utilisation in the primary literature to illustrate their validity.

i know they said that it would be specific

but like

how specific is this

i don't even know what i'm supposed to do with something like this.

i hardly know what the sentence means.

sigh.

i'm also supposed to meet with the supervisor tmr

but i've only been told who it is

but i have no idea where they are

damnit

i hope i don't make a fool of myself

because i have no idea what i'm doing

sigh.

ok bye.

:( uni #195

first day of uni of the semester today

i skipped the first two lectures

because i was still at clara's

and still uber tired

i had to endure some bs class for two hours

when she could have given us the lecture notes

instead of slowly frying our brains

but anyway.

i also bought tegan and sara's sainthood yesterday

because it was $15

haha

i've only listened to it a couple times

it's ok so far.

though, i might need to listen to it a bit more to get into it.

this is also a uber cute version of them singing 'alligator'

daniela sent it to me

they changed the lyrics :)

so cute.

iheartyouall♥

endless pit #194

people have described my bag as an endless pit

i think i agree

today because i'm going to sleepover at clara's

i fit in:

- a pillow

- a pair of trackies

- a rather large film camera

- a digital camera

- exercise books plus lecture notes for uni

- pencil case

- make up bag

- wallet

- phone

- bible

yes.

:)

Originally uploaded by WOLF CHOIR
i love this photo.
because its kind of random
but cute at the same time.
i also love photos that have good light.
i love the sunlight shining through across the field in this.

i also just read the course outline slash guidelines

for my research subject

and now, i counting on this subject to hopefully be my best mark

because i've figured

that i don't do well on exams

but since this subject is zero exam

and most of it is written

with 80% of it based on the written

(and 20% is based on "discussion with supervisor" HAHA)

and my best marks come from my assignments.

that this is my best chance to get a HD

if i try hard enough.

i also realised that my final report is to be submitted on september 16

which means i finish that subject in mid september

which is pretty sweet.

and thus, i can focus on my other two subjects

and study them well for exams.

and hopefully do better on exams as well.

that's what i'm hoping for anyway.

♥

jam packed #192

i do wonder about that term 'jam packed'

because well, is jam really 'packed'

i'd like to think of it as a jar being filled with jam

but anyway,

had two full days in a row.

so yesterday, i had work from 11 til 6

at 6, i had to get changed and do my makeup in the centre bathroom

then took the bus to crown

we ate at sante for thanh's 21st.

i stayed there til about 10

got home at around 10.30

completely knackered

but ended up sleeping at 12.

then this morning, i had to get up at 7.30 for work at 9

worked til 5

then jacky picked me up from work

and we went to the city to get picked up by oli

to go to trivia night

trivia night finished at around 11.30

go home at 12ish.

yes, twas very tiring but fun.

another thing i probably need to add is that

i have been sick for 2 weeks straight

and from yesterday, my symptoms started becoming nasal

ie. runny nose and allergies

so i constant had a red nose

(not such a great look)

and feeling very run down already.

so the days felt extra hectic to me.

but yes. CU trivia night was quite fun

leila, daniela, minh tu & i spent quite a while

staring at paper

trying to solve the puzzles on it.

and thus, being antisocial.

but it was rather fun, especially when we figured out some of those puzzles

and the food was pretty awesome

thanks to eleni.

:)

yes,

fun days.

♥

#191 change yet again

i changed my layout again

this one took quite a lot of effort

because i had to manually type a lot of things.

i quite like it,

i really like the tabs at the side of the polaroid.

go click them :)

i added a quote of the week tab

and a 'music i'm playing' tab

which will be updated weekly and fortnightly

respectively.

the problem with me and changing layouts

is that

i take absolutely forever to choose one.

then when i choose one,

i have to fix it til its up to my standards and everything.

which can be quite annoying and tedious.

and yes.

♥

p.s. i just realised you can't add comments on this layout.

super annoyed, because its difficult to fix.

but i will try and fix it soon. sorry.

1:38am - YES! finally got it to work. seriously need to go to bed now.

16.july.2010
because i'm listening to the muse and tegan & sara albums on repeat
this week, it dominates my top 10
1. muse - undisclosed desires
2. muse - resistance
3. muse - uprising
4. tegan & sara - the con
5. tegan & sara - relief next to me
6. the octopus project - the adjustor
7. regina spektor - genius next door
8. temper trap - sweet disposition
9. tegan & sara - floorplan
10. hot chip - ready for the floor

it sucks when your best semester of marks came from your first year, first semester.

it's all gone down hill from there.

sigh.

my results are kind strange

the range of difference across all of them this sem is only like 2 marks

here are my results 59, 60, 61, 61

sigh.

i thought i did well enough on two of them to get a D

apparently not.

sigh.

sitting and studying for exams is definitely not my forte.

#190

you know what's fun

realising you left a tissue in your pocket

after you put it in the wash

and you're left with the task of emptying out

crumbly bits of tissue.

and you can't get it completely clean

because its smeared all over your pocket.

well, at least it was only a pair of pj trackies

so i guess its not too bad.

hmph.

#189

i bought 3 cds today

which made my day

as i've mention time and time again

buying cds makes me excited

i bought:

Muse - The Resistance

though i really should have it already

and i love Muse because their albums are always so complete

as in liste

ning to the album is an experience as a whole

and not just having a couple of good songs spread across the whole album

like some artists

also, in United States of Eurasia, the complete song and key change

the moment for some reason reminded me of We Are the Champions (Queen)

they're probably singing in the same key i guess

Vampire Weekend - self titled

i wasn't really planning to buy it

but it was cheap

and it has many of the tracks that i like from Vampire Weekend so i bought it

and lastly

Tegan and Sara - The Con

which i should also already have

but don't

(because of the lack of funds)

i also wanted to buy The Sainthood

but it wasn't that cheap

so i shall buy it later

to complete my Tegan and Sara collection

♥

#188

still sick.

the problem is:

i know that i do have a secondary bacterial infection

and i know need antibiotics

but i hate going to the doctor

see, i don't mind going to the dentist

but hate going to the doctor

don't know why.

i just haven't that great experiences there.

not that i'm scared of it

but what i've experienced isn't that great

(as in like the doctors are annoying and snobby rather than helpful)

and so i usually can't be bothered

even though i know i need to go.

so i end up not going and thinking i'll get better on my own.

which is what i am still hoping

that i'll get better without antibiotics

which is probably why i'm still sick.

sigh.

#187 WORLD CUP FINAL

watched it at luke & katherine's house

with a few CU friends

though before watching the final match

we watched the British Grand Prix

followed by le Tour de France

:)

then the final at 4.30

twas ok slash kinda boring for most of it.

i wanted spain to win, just that little bit more.

though i didn't really care too much

and the ref was really annoying though

with all his yellow cards

but my favourite yellow card of the night came from this guy

de Jong's 'Jackie Chan-like' kick into the chest of Alonso

it was really funny to watch though.

haha.

i'm surprised i haven't found a clip of that

playing along to the tune of 'kung fu fighting' though.

i thought that would be a given.

but yes,

so whilst watching the match

i seriously though it was going to go to shoot outs

which i was kind of looking forward to

because they're more suspenseful

but the goal with only 5 mins of extra time left

was pretty sweet.

and yes.

well at least, we all survived the vuvuzelas (hopefully).

though, jacky installed the app on his ipod.

but i will insist on him uninstalling it real soon.

♥

little drummer girl #186

forcing emma to play drums impromptu

for the sunday service,

made my day :)

(however, being forced to sing by myself. with a crap voice, because i'm still sick. did not.)

loading zone #185

a weird thing that customers do at our pharmacy

is

treat our pharmacy as a loading zone

and by that i mean

they come in and ask if we can mind their shopping

and leave so they can pick it up later

half the time they don't even buy stuff from us

they're just using us

i don't know.

why is that?

because i'm pretty sure people don't do it as often to other places

(ie. non pharmacies)

i find it really odd.

today,

some lady

which i've never seen before/has never come into our shop before

came to drop off 4 bottles of wine

to pick up later

though she kept insisting that it wasn't hers

and it was for a fundraiser.

and my boss saw the bottles

and joked that i was going to drink it all later

because i was sick of work and uni.

haha.

she did end up picking it up

and thanked me

and left.

some people are so odd.

#184 paper towns (part 2)

so i finished the book today

and i loved it.

(do not read on, if you want to read the book. which you should, because it was a good book. and should totally be made into a movie.)

i loved how in the beginning it was lighter and easy to get into

but then i got into

more deeper issues.

i love how he discusses how we cannot truly become other people

and truly know them

that we more or less see our own reflections of people.

rather than the person themselves.

john green not only brings this to light with Margo

and how everyone has their own versions of Margo

but even with Q, how he wants his friends to care about what he cares about (which is Margo)

but Radar tells him that people are their own people.

i also love how he named the main, i guess, object of this book

(because i think she is more of an object in this book than subject, because of the fact that she is a mystery to others. and the fact that characters in the book, like Q, do things because of her though she is not necessarily there. and people do not really know her, but have their own 'Margo' view/idea for themselves. does that make her an object? i don't know, but it just doesn't feel right for her to be a subject.)

Margo Roth Spiegelman

because Spiegelman is a German word for mirror maker

"and Margo is the Spiegelman of Paper Towns, because when people look at her they don't see anything that is essentially true about Margo, what they see is some fun house mirror reflection of themselves." John Green

i thought that was really interesting.

i also love how their are many different covers of Paper Towns

with many different 'Margo'-s

representing the point above

that people all see their own reflections of Margo

but none of which is the true Margo

(the copy I have is the one not of her face, because that's the Australian version)

though the ending did leave me hanging a little bit

because of the fact that Margo did not definitively leave

but Q and Margo both turned back to each other

so immediately after I'd finished I thought perhaps

Q decided to go with Margo

or that they stayed together in the paper town

but after reading into it more

it is definite that Margo did go own her own afterwards

because Q valued the future

but Margo valued the future as being a series of nows.

i want to go buy and read his other books now :D

#183 paper towns

currently reading Paper Towns by John Green

the same John Green I was blogging about a while ago

the one that is one half of the vlogbrothers

:)

loving the book so far

and intrigued by one Margo Roth Spiegelman

can't wait to read what happens next

i think, i'll start reading again

because i can

since i'm on holidays

and i have a lot of books to read still

that are on my shelf.

i think the next one after this one is:

Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.

yes, ok.

bed now.

p.s. i still haven't gotten completely better from my sickness. boo!

#182 emo & toy story 3

most people have read this on facebook already

but i attempted to dye my hair dark brown this morning

with two boxes of schwarzkopf hair dye

and both boxes said 'dark brown' on them

and both showed me pictures of how my hair would look slightly brown after dying it with this certain hair dye.

but my hair turned out to be EMO black.

not sure how this possibly happened.

sigh.

i'm hoping it would eventually wash out slightly

so that my hair wouldn't be so emo black.

also, i watched TOY STORY 3 today

and it was awesome.

i loved it.

especially the ending.

though i do not want to talk about it too much since i don't want to spoil it for others

but i loved it.

it was funny but not completely in a kids way

so i found it pretty good.

kinda want to watch it again.

#181

not that i'm not happy about my current relationsip status

(because i am really happy about it)

but i think it would be kinda fun

doing the whole awkward beginning of a relationship bit again

the:

does he like me? how much does he like me? do i like him? what hasn't he called? etc. etc.

bit.

because i was talking to a friend today

and well, he's at that stage

not knowing whether the girl likes him and everything

and i found it so cute.

haha,

because he was blushing and fiddling and trying to change the conversation

when we were talking about it.

but i insisted on laughing at him

and saying how cute he was.

cute in a way that, he's like a little boy and i wanted to pat him.

haha

and yes,

i think it could be fun.

going through the awkward stage again,

having the unknown, and getting to know each other.

but of course, as i said i love the current state i am in

that there isn't any unknown.

i don't know

i'm just rambling.

yes.

#180 sick

i'm sorry i still haven't fixed everything up.

i've been sick since thursday night

and i still haven't gotten better

today when i woke up i could barely talk

and proceeded to coughing up my phlegm

haha

side note: i was also at emma's house

so she can vouch for these things happening

especially the phlegm bit

LOL

my mum is also really funny

she called me while i was still at emma's

and was like

"what time are you coming home?

you should come home earlier because you shouldn't eat all their food"

haha

she's a funny one.

anyhow,

i have so many things to do

and i don't feel like i have a long enough break

BOO

:(

#179

so today

we had our church anniversary celebration

and the kids sang

as usual

and they were cute

as usual

:)

(btw, thats me in the red cardigan)

afterwards, i hung out with some friends

and
then emma convinced me to sleepover at her house

and her dad will teach me guitar

so i did

and we also manage to convince daniel and jacky to come over as well

to play wii with titus

and daniel wanted to learn guitar as well

but ended up having to learn on the ukulele

twas a fun but random night

also, was massively attacked by their dog puffy

by attacked i mean she was super excited and kept jumping on me and licking me

see, i'm ok with being jumped on

but not slobbered on

haha.

owned!

argentina lost to germany

nil to 4 goals

OUCH!

suddenly i don't feel so bad about australia losing to germany with the same score

especially because during the end

we only had 10 men.

GO DEUTSCHLAND!

they're who i'm going for

from now on

:D

#178 back into the swing of things

had work today.

so kinda tired

& starting to display summit withdrawal symptoms.

#177 i'm back

so after two camps, being away 8 days back-to-back

well, i'm back.

so obviously i need to update.

so i'm thinking

i will update backwards,

ie. i will talk about what i did on those particular days

so, today was the last day of summit (RMIT CU camp)

so it involved:

- waking up and having to pack up stuff

- going to the last talk

- and manuscript discovery

where we pulled everything together, and answered all the remaining questions we had from 1 john

- and then taking some photos

- and leaving

here's a pic of everyone in the camp (though it was taken on the wednesday)

#176 last full day of summit

involved:

- finishing the last of steve william's talks

- another 1 john talk

- more manuscript discovery

- a workshop about science and christianity with john diacos

- a night walk

which i did not go to because i started to feel sick, but i kind of wished i did because they saw SNOW! :( sigh.

- staying up til 4.30 am because it was the last night

and this involved playing multiple games of angels and assassins

which was really frustrating

because the game involves getting people to trust you

and though i was telling the truth (most of the time)

the times when i was telling the truth people didn't believe me

and it was really annoying.

but the games were really funny,

i think we ended up playing about 7 games

LOL.

also, played up and down the river

which i came second and beat steve williams

(which if you do not know, beating him is an achievement)

:)
