Monday, March 24, 2014 - [mad monday.]
Hurray I've finished one assignment, only 20more to go. no big deal ~
It's my film diary part A, part B is the next assignment :o so if you're curious at all, it's on my Production Diary Tumblr, and the link's available in the sidebar and "The Verdict" section :3
Been a not so nice start to the week actually ):
Friday was a great day. After my lecture, I finally returned Lachlan his Galaxy S2 which he so kindly lent me for about a year <s>because I dropped my pink S2 into the toilet at Queen's Karaoke.</s> So smooth ayesha. Cried about it like a baby and the next day he drove over to pass me a spare phone. :') thankyou~
Got very attached to the S2 but had to return it, it's okay, far more attached to the new Note 3 now :DD Anyways, after that, met the incapable-of-remembering-directions-except-in-malls Steph and we took Zac's car to Chermside~ Supposedly got my MacBook repaired. Supposedly.
It wasn't fixed at all. It froze again over the weekend yippee. Hoping Carindale Geniuses do a better job this Wednesday. I actually hate blogging from anywhere else except my Macbook. Anyhoo, did abit of shopping at Chermside :3 No pictures yet .. soooooooooon. Zac bought a couple Xbox games, I got 2 new dresses and a cap ~ We also bought new bedsheets. Egyptian cotton - 1200 thread count yeeeeaaaaaa, cause somehow the other bedsheets are either badly stained or torn in the corner. I don't even know how. The corners are tucked under the mattress yet they have holes here and there. Hopefully 200dorra sheets are more sturdy than that.
GAH . It's going to be a hectic week. 3 assignments are due in the next week and I'm occupied this weekend cuz not only is it me and Zac's 1year anniversary, there's a Super Smash Brothers tourney I'm supposed to play in XD and also Zac's father's 60th birthday dinner will be held this weekend. Waaaooowww. How to assignment?
Today I found out one of the assignments I thought was ages away is due next week, so my mood became horribly low the rest of the day. Came home feeling awfully hungry, well yeahh, no food all day til I cooked dinner which took almost 2hours of cleaning the kitchen, prepping, cleaning while cooking, finally got to eat at 10.30pm .
Cooking sure feels like a workout, was sweating profusely beside the steaming pots ricecooker, rinsing out crockery with hot water and crying from onions. What a horrible 2hours I had when I usually hum to myself or have imaginary conversations and start laughing to myself while cooking. Weather plz, its time for Winter, making me "work-out" while I prepare a meal is just mean ):

Saturday, March 22, 2014 - [assign-blog-ment-ing.]
I would very much like to blog about the great Friday I had, but I've no time to prepare that post I will require a couple days probably. Instead I'll show you what I've been doing today.
Assignment-ing ! D: how fun. Well I finally am able to get some work done because I've received my MacBook from Apple. If you're my friend on Facebook you'd know I was ranting about how stupid they were for putting a password on my Macbook and not informing me. Well this morning I realized the password was simply a blank. How infuriating. I actually had a whole conversation with the Apple customer service planned in my head like this ..
So anyway, got up at 1.30pm . Oh gad D: all my plans to accomplish things over this weekend. I'll have to get up earlier on Sunday. Decided to start on my assignments by making lunch. So I had asked for 2 pieces of chicken breast from the Deli counter. Woman working there was talking to her friend and didn't notice my standing there with the queue number for awhile. It's okay. We all slack off at work sometimes right.
I wasn't annoyed at all, she clearly wasn't very good at hearing either.
"Can I have two pieces of breast meat please, wrapped separately". Sadly that wasn't comprehensible to her and she gave me 2KG of meat and wrapped each piece individually. Okay then. I'll just stuff $30 of chicken into the non-existent space in my freezer. I'm not mad, I suppose it's great that I don't have to go get meat any time soon but really, the freezer has no space D:

Oh isn't it fun imagining things.

Also.. normally a piece of meat is about 3-quarters the size of the one on the chopping board. Sometimes woolies has huge pieces and sometimes they have tiny pieces. So that day in addition to the hearing-impaired woman, I received mega large pieces of meat. Usually 2 pieces is between $5 to $7. I once bought 4 pieces of meat for $11, imagine how tiny they were. I also once got 2 pieces that were worth $15. Such consistency in meat sizes (:
Part of my film analysis assignment is to create a blog and write why I think a scene is important or how a particular shot develops a character or story and analyze the mise en scene of a particular shot (setting, composition, lighting, framing)
I really like Tumblr because it's so easy to use. I also don't like Tumblr because I can't customize it as much as I like, because I just love customizing all my shit.
I love blogging if you can't already tell, I like sharing my experiences and opinions, so I've updated this little sidebar if anyone wants to see my multiple Tumblr pages. (: I don't even know what that Facebook Like thing is linked to, nothing appears on my feed or anywhere when I created it or when people clicked it.
Did anyone also notice the new photo to the Distractions reel? The star is really to hide a pimple :x And Steph got a HarryPotter scar because I didn't want to be the only one with a stamp on my face :x
Oh hey, Zac's there too.

Sunday, March 16, 2014 - [popup sale!]
Since the last time I wrote 5 days ago, I've had no bad dreams! Hurray, in fact most of them have been happy dreams, one of them was of me flying and teaching my brother to fly ! (been watching too much DBZ x_x) It felt very special because I've never dreamt of flying ! :DDD After learning to fly, bro and I went to hide from our parents hahaha because they wanted to go somewhere we didn't want to XD
Also dreamt just last night that I met someone I admired and we became awfully good friends. It's funny 'cause she was there around my family and she was living with us back in the house in the west - Villa Verde. She sorta replaced my brother and I was growing up with her and somehow my helper was living with us but my parents were never around. And we were living in Brisbane, but the house we lived in was from my childhood. :o So exciting! She taught me everything I wanted to learn and I grew up to be exactly like her U_U ! *dream come true*
So that's the good thing, perhaps writing really helped clear my mind.. I didn't go to uni on Wednesday (but I've already studied the slides and caught up! yay me!) and was halfway through listening to another lecture when my laptop died ... on Friday. Oh gaaaaadddd. I was so upset because it had froze and died a few times on Wednesday and Thursday like this...
I restarted it about 6 times before it finally booted up.. then .. freezed midway in Firefox about 3 times... It kept freezing on facebook because everytime I restart firefox prompts me to "Restore previous session" and I could not even click the lecture recording tab or the QUT tab and it would freeze again.
Friday was unlucky because in my sadness I went for a jog and that was fine, managed to jog for a longer time because Jet had been on that route before and recognized the path, I was tired and cooked dinner and burnt my wrist ): and after that, while carrying the hot bowls into the room I kicked my pinky toe on the door T_______T. Such pain ..
On a happier note, sometime within the week I managed to cook an extremely tasty plate of Fried Rice which tasted completely different from any version of fried rice I've tried to make in the past 2 years. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it again because I lack the ingredients to make which I had brought from Singapore that my helper gave me ):
Saturday ! A day that Unicorn and I had been luuuuuuucing forward to for a few days "Beginning Boutique's Pop Up Sale + Model Search" :DDD Because of personal reasons, I was very poor so I actually just wanted to go to check it out and go apply to be a model :3 I made Steph do it too, short asian models. totes gonna get selected ! There were so many other pretty and intimidating girls who applied. ): I want to be a model ): ): ): *pouts pouts pouts pouts pouts*
Got our pix taken at the photobooth (: The power ran out a few times at the venue ahaha, reminded me of the module I'm studying in uni about production management, and I just observed how the staff kept everyone calm and speedily worked on the problem and their train of communication between the staff at various booths. I'm just so hardworking, learning outside uni :x
Am a sucker for sunflowers so Unicorn helped me buy this romper :3 it's soooo loose on me though XD I need to get it altered or wear something inside it :3 the dip in the middle is actually just slightly above where the double sunflower in the middle is, if I didn't pull it up in the photo D: dat creeeavage.
Don't my thighs look awfully thin in this photo ! It's a trick ! which oddly enough Zac pointed out to me from all his 1000gb of Yuri pictures. Standing with her legs together makes her thighs look really big.
So in almost every photo she poses in, for her advertorials and stuff her legs are always crossed one over the other to make her thighs look slimmer ~
Clever trickxy for ladies out there, or maybe I'm just slow at noticing such things and the whole female population knows this already D:
Had lunch at Grill'd after the sale. Can't comment I don't know how the burgers taste like because I wasn't hungry then, but all the signs around the shop say it's really healthy :o
Legs look so thin despite eating sooooo much recently XD XD XD *take advantage of the big dressing room mirror for OOTD selfie! :x

So okay, maybe it's a problem with firefox, lemme force quit and just study from the slides.
NOPE.
Okay woman you test my limits, now I shall freeze before it reaches the user log on screen muahahahahahahahaha!
.... and it completely shit itself on Friday and I could not log on at all. T_T.. and I was in the mood to study! well played macbook ): Friday was a pretty unlucky day. First of all my lecturer had cancelled the lesson to attend a funeral. I felt very sad for her because her father is also dying and she's the only relative in Brisbane. She has several classes to teach and another job outside of QUT. And now her friend has passed away too? She's under so much stress I can't imagine. She's an excellent tutor and lecturer and sends so much extra information and notes to study and is always up to date unlike any other film unit which never updates the Blackboard site. She responded to my queries so quickly as well. Stay strong lecturer!

Went to Chermside after to get my laptop looked at. For the first time ever the Apple Genius who served me was very friendly and actually did something to the laptop. He managed to get my stuff backed up and the laptop did not freeze once in his hands. D: well done laptop just don't show the man what's wrong with you. Anyway he diagnosed a few problems like I don't charge my laptop enough and I let it run out of battery too much. Every time it shuts down due to insufficient battery it's unable to save the files and each time it reboots it modifies my system files which may be causing it to boot up slowly and freeze.
He also identified a fault in my AirPort card which is probably why my laptop is soooo laggy and drops out of the Wi-Fi frequently. That's awesome $130 to replace the airport card seems reasonable, hopefully I don't lag anymore after I get it back :o This Genius bar dude was the first one to ever diagnose the problems so quickly and help me save my data. I've been to Apple about 4 times in the past 2 years with various problems and all they've ever done is "Err.. we'll have to take it in you know and check it, run some tests. I can't tell what's wrong with it Ill let you know. Err.. that's gonna cost you a couple hundred dollars for us to check it. Do you have back up, you're gonna lose all your data and you can't hold us responsible for it. Err.. you understand? "Incompetent shits. Thank god for this man.
We spend a couple hours later just window-shopping, trying on some clothes and I got to look at a nice set of bedsheets too. Cost about $180 for a set of King sheets and pillowcases at Target and $200 for the same sheets and pillowcases at Bed Bath and Table but an extra 150 threadcount :3 Actually was $400 but 50% off! I need to go get them next week when I go retrieve my laptop ! :DDD Please still be on sale.
"What's with you and hair accessories?!"
I dunno D: I just like them. I also really like bows. Did you know? :3
Legs look so thin despite eating sooooo much recently XD XD XD *take advantage of the big dressing room mirror for OOTD selfie! :x
Got little treats from Dragonberry before we left. Just a table of marshmellows, lollipops, sherbets and hard candy to grab :x
Meanwhile Zac was raping at a smash tourney, sad that I couldn't go, glad I didn't go because he said the venue wasn't good :o It was hot and sweaty and squeezy. He won both Singles and Doubles. Tsk no challenge eh? The next tourney is on the 29th of March, which is coincidentally our anniversary and also there's also a big event happening that evening :3 EXCITED!
Zac said he's going to play doubles with me hurraayyyyyyyy :DDD I never thought I'd get to play in a tournament! Mebbe he won't be able to win this time because of my suuuuperior skillz :x I can't wait XD
