and i'm off

be back next monday :)

hp7

just watch HARRY POTTER tonight

loved it ♥

though a bit puzzled at the number of friends i know that have neither read the books and are not up to date with the movies

that they would watch this latest one

because they were quite lost at some points

i must admit, i have been catching myself up with the movies

which i enjoy

though its a bit annoying that they can't add all of it into the movies

and some things, they changes a little bit

but i like watching anyway

(btw, if you have not seen the movie and/or read the books , you probably shouldn't read on. you have been warned.)

so, in the movie, it was a bit strange because i always pictured bill weasley with short hair

and being very neat and sleek and all

not some long haired, hippy-eque hair

and all the more because he was marrying fleur

also, i miss tonk's pink hair.

also, though i have read the books

i did forget who died and when.

and so it was sad when hedwig died

:(

and mad-eye moody

:(

and DOBBY

:(

my favourite quote of dobby's in the movie:

"Dobby never meant to kill, simply maim, or severely injure"

dooby was so cute

so sad when he died :(

can't wait til the next movie

YES!

but its in july

BOO!

though it was a bit annoying that last movie they didnt have the scene where dumbledore talks about the horcruxes

because it did seem like the movie they were pretty aimless

at least in the book, they knew or had a inkling about what the horcruxes were

even though, they didn't know where they are

plus, harry and ginny were supposed the break up at the end of the last movie

which didn't happen.

i kind of want to read all the books again

but i also can't be bother because i know it'll take me agesss

maybe before the last movie then.

i feel so sick right now, i want to cry :(
i've only had like 3 hours sleep
but i keep waking up in the middle of the night to cough out junk in my lungs
and i have to wait about an hour before doctors open
:(

sorry for not being regularly back

(if that makes sense)

back regularly

(sounds better, i think)

i'm just been so busy

yet not busy at the same time.

i think i just like not doing anything in particular that have to do with deadlines

or HAVING to do something.

just chilaxing, ya'know.

at the same time i do actually have a lot to do

which i have not done

because i have not done anything this week

even though i did have a lot of spare time.

long story short, sorry for not posting again regularly.

i've been busy/lazy.

i really should go to bed now, work tomorrow

then CU ball afterwards

:)

survivor rant

(for those who actually care when i rant about survivor, which pretty much all of you don't, but i like ranting to nobody anyway)

YES!

marty from survivor is FINALLY eliminated

took them way too long to eliminate him

honestly.

sash and brenda should have voted him out a looong time ago

the time they voted out kelly b.

but they dragged it out about another 4 weeks til they finally voted him out

and its not like they didn't have get the chance to.

though i do see the 'minority alliance' being the final 3 in the end

because they have 2 immunity idols

except i think that they might end up blindsiding brenda near the end

because she's a strong player

both strategically and physically

so i'm thinking it will probably be sash and naonka in the end

not sure about the third person

i do hope its brenda,

because i like her and i want her to win (though she did get a bit cocky this ep, but i put it down to editing)

but i have a hunch that it won't be.

naonka is annoying but fun to watch at the same time

as in she just acts like a bitch and i know say if i were on the island

she'd drive me nuts and i'd be so pissed off with her actions

but she makes good tv

and so i'm pretty sure she'll be in the final 3 because she's pissed a lot of people off

and so the other 2 are taking her because she won't win any jury votes

the problem i have with her

is that she justifies her actions by just saying 'that's just the way i am'

which is stupid

because that does not justify stealing food and being outright rude to people.

the other person i like, apart from brenda

is fabio (jud)

he's just so funny

though i think he acts a lot dumber than he is

i mean he knew about freud and the 10% conscious 90% subconcious stuff, he can't be that dumb

but at the same time

he's not super smart

as in he still puts his head in the fire and pees in the pool.

he's just soo funny to watch.

apart from them, the others are ok

i like kelly purple and chase.

holly's really weird, and i like jane but i don't want her to win.

and the others are just ok.

ok, finish rant for now.

til next episode.

the social network

so me and jacky went to watch 'the social network' today at the nova

side note: the nova's so damn cheap on mondays, we went before 4 and the tickets were only $6. originally i was expecting it to be $9. guess we'll be going to nova from now on :)

though, when we went into the theatre

there was surprisingly a lot of old people

and by old people i define it about 40 years and over

i think it was about 65% old people

seriously.

ok, so 'the social network' was pretty good.

not as good as i expected, though i wasn't sure what to expect

but i'd heard a lot of reviews about how good it was and that increased my expectations of the movie

also, the very first scene when mark was talking to erica

i was a bit lost with all the colloquial talk

and both me and jacky were a bit confused

but we kind of got the jist

i also just discovered that the winklevoss twins were played by just one guy.

that's impressive editing

if i hadn't looked it up, i would have thought that the actually had twins to play the winklevoss twins

but then i knew i'd seen that guy before so i had to look it up

and yes i had seen him before, he was in gossip girl.

the movie was pretty good,

it was edited well, i liked the very last scene

but i felt like the whole movie ended a little abruptly as well.

after that me and jacky went to buy books at koorong for church

and i found it really fun looking for the books in the store

though jacky wanted to at first just get the people to help us

but i was like, nooooooo.

let's just say i really like doing scavenger hunts

so i wanted to do it myself.

we ended up buying 25 books, and only when i got home did i realise that we dobuled up n a book

not quite sure how it happened

and i can't return it

because i stamped it already.

oops.

i need to go to bed now,

need to wake up early to get to balwyn to a friends house

i decided that im going to take a 40 tram ride to his house

instead of taking a faster way but involves me having to get a zone 2 ticket.

yes, i am super broke right now.

sigh.

♥

garden state

i watched garden state tonight

i had borrowed the dvd from the library a while ago
i quite enjoyed it
though at first it was a little draining and slow
though i do understand why it was that way

it was to reflect the numbness he felt

but still.

but natalie portman's character, sam, is so cute

though i thought that they dressed her a little too young

as in i felt like she was meant to be under 18 years old while in actual fact she was at least 21

but i understand why they did that too

my favourite scene was by far the scene where they are in garbage bags in the rain and yell

(see photo)

it was even more hilarious after they yell

when andrew and sam finally kiss/make out, and its so awkward because mark is standing next to them trying to look away

that make me laugh out loud.

its also funny because the guy who plays sheldon (from big bang theory) is in it

and he also plays a nerd character as well

though its brief

yep, i really quite liked the movie

i really like the idea of him being awakened to his emotions

and him no longer feeling numb.

thought the ending was a little predicatble

him coming back and getting off the plane

but, enjoyable movie nonetheless

♥

freeeee

so i finished exams today.

it so good to be free again.

FREEDOM!!!!!!!!

i actually didn't go out like after my exam like i had planned

because i was super knackered and wanted to go home.

though when i got home i didn't end up sleeping anyway

and i decided to catch up on the episodes of survivor and antm i had missed.

i enjoy being free

i was like "i'm going to bake a cake."

and i did.

just one more

can't wait til friday ,
summer here i come :)

watermelon.

that is all.

summer, come already

i wish exams will be done with already
i'm so excited for the summer
mission & NTE will be awesome :)
plus roadtrip with meine lieblings
and then ASIA!
the only thing that would make it even more fantastically exciting
would be if i'm going to a summer music festival
which i'm not
because lineups are ok, but nothing i'm really excited about
plus i was mostly hedging my bets on laneway fest
i really do like the antlers and all
and some of the others
but not enough
plus noone wanted to come with me anyway.
i think i'd go if ladyhawke would be playing melb laneway
but apparently she's only playing NZ laneway.
sigh.
BUT aside from that i'm hoping the bands do side shows
so i can go to them instead.
can't wait :)

asian family gathering awkwardness take 2

yes sorry.

i figure i'm just going to restart doing the everyday posts once i completely finish exams

which is on the 5th

and i'll aim to reach 300 posts in the year instead

though the thing is i do have quite a few blogs posts that have been started

but i never bothered to finished them

so i'll finish those and post those up too

but anyway so today i had to attend another family gathering

though this time it was awkward because i didn't know who the people were

that just visited from hong kong

apparently the guy and his wife is meant to be my cousin

but he's like 16 years older than me.

so yes.

its also awkward because asian adults make a fuss about everything

and i had to sit next to my mum.

i had my own dish but the rest of them shared

by rest of them, i mean adults

(my 8 y.o. and 10 y.o. cousins didn't share either)

and my mum kept offering some of my food for them (as in the visitors from hk) to try

because they don't really eat vietnamese food

not that i minded

but its just weird that she was offering my food for them to try

plus it was pork chop and i didn't have a knife

so it would have meant me trying to try and cut pieces of meat using a spoon.

another thing i HATE about having asian parents

having to say hi to people

not that i'm a snob or anything

but like my mum expects me to say

"hi aunty" or "hi uncle" to like everyone

or today "hi cousin"

and when i don't

(and i usually don't) she usually says i have no manners

and i witnessed the same thing today with my kid cousins

my aunty was like to them "did you say hi to your second aunty?"

its quite annoying

its not like i HAVE to say something verbally to acknowledge them

i usually smile at them anyway.

but no,

my mother is quite insistent.

sigh.

yes, i'm not quite sure why my mum made me go today

i didnt exactly talk much

plus i was being antisocial

and was doing the sudoku in the mx.

haha

♥

lightning

it was weird weather today

even though i was indoors the whole day

and it didn't really affect me anyway

(side note: i really like when it rains and i'm indoors and i can hear the rain falling outside, its a very comforting sound)

but there was thunder and lightning

and even though my blinds are closed

i could see the lightning seeping in through them

whenever it struck.

also, slightly off topic

why is it that when you get struck by lightning once, you are more likely to get struck again?

compared to someone who has never been struck

i find it really odd.

anyone else find the 'places' app on facebook, and any other app like it, super stalkerish?

(yeah yeah, i'm massively behind. hopefully if i'm not struggling with time, i'll update. sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrry.)

sorry for the lack of posts

its been quite stressful and busy weeks

and probably will be for the next month.

i'll hopefully be back on track by next week,

but yes. sorry.

assignments & more assignments #265

why do i always leave assignments to the day or the day before its due?

when i've technically had nearly a month holiday.

sigh.

i have an assignment due at 5pm tmr

and the stupid thing is that its supposed to be monash's holiday week this week

and lecturers want us to go into uni and hand in the assignment in hardcopy

why?

it would be soooo much more convenient for the approx 200 students to submit it online

but no

the lecturer have to favour themselves and force everyone to come in.

i also have an assignment due friday at 5pm,

but at least thats online.

sigh.

sigh.

sigh.

#260

far out
i think i'm sick again.
i woke up with a sore throat and congested
and i just feel so tired and run down today
dammit.

in other news, i did my bible study

finalllllly.

the turn out was small

so i had to give the answers more often then i'd like

but overall, it was ok.

i really like the way it was written

which was mainly written by heather

i just put it on paper.

yes.

#258

so, my hair is dying

i've had a couple of failed attempts

and probably dyed it too my in that past few days.

in my frustration.

sigh.

i dislike having thick black hair

the colour doesn't change unless you have strong dye or bleach.

MATRIX (ish) #257

me & jacky went to ACMI at fed square today
this is one of the things we did
hahaha
its like a ninja/kung fu kick
but matrix style
it's funny cos you can sort of see jacky in the doorway
it looks like i'm trying to kick him
:)



jacky was being a party pooper and didn't want to do one.

i think i might go and dye my hair now
because i feel like it
and also i think my fringe looks too dark and heavy being black
hopefully, it will turn out ok
:)

summer plansss #256

been listening to hot chip one life stand the whole day

love the album :)

i'm so glad i bought it last week

my favs are 'i feel better', 'thieves in the night' and 'one life stand'

also, i applied for a debit card finallyyyy

so i don't have to hassle my mum every time i want to buy concert tickets.

its more or less in anticipation for the summer and the summer music festivals

which i intend to go to :)

i'm so excited for the holidays.

also, i haven't really mentioned it here yet

but i finish my exams super early

on the 5th of nov

which is why i can sort of be excited already for the holidays

:)

i can't wait.

also, i've resolved that i probably can't be bothered/won't look for another job for the summer

(unless they'll hire me with my low availability)

and sell all my clothes online instead

because i have A LOT of stuff to get rid of.

i also need to sell my mum's fish tank with a stand and canopy

because all the fish keep dying

and she can't be bothered to buy new fish and feed them every day anymore

yes.

damnit, summer come already.
