Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - [Order.]
As a Virgo, I'm unable to function without order in life. Thus my pretty elaborate semester planner! :DD in fact today I made several new lists to remember things.. oh what will I do without my lists.. I have 100000 of them everywhere! In a notepad, random scraps of paper, on my post its, my laptop notes, my cellphone notes. @@" ..
as the weeks go by I can continue crossing days off and adding more key events when they arise, for now I believe my next few weeks are in order with no pending assignments yet~

Monday, July 30, 2012 - [TGIFriday!]
Hello there, been feeling lazy this weekend, as you might have guessed, don't scold me blogger, yes I know you've been fully loaded with pictures since Saturday Morning.. :x Okay many people have heard this story before but I'm gonna say it again ~ I had a very bad Friday morning.
It started with an 8am lecture at this place, see the exit sigh right ahead? There's a hidden door on the left.
like really, 8am lecture, I see nothing good ahead.. so I was there and there was a group of students waiting for the lecture, 8.20am.. no one came to open the door, a passing student (probably going to the washroom) said "hey! there's a lecture going on in the other theatre next door, maybe it's that one"
So the group of us walked in but it was an "Education" lecture, so nope...
So went back to waiting at the dreaded E-214 lecture room, and some girl sitting at the steps said "I think your lecture is from 9-12 instead, the timetable's been changed."
Fine so I went back home and waited for 40minutes and came back out again, to the ulu E-block and then the same group of people were there and FINALLY we entered the lecture room and the lecturer goes. "Sorry about that, I had a message in the morning about the class relocating from N-block." I'm like whutt???
Then he continues
"So everyone's tutorial will be pushed back an hour because of this lecture"and I stare at him weirdly and he says "Is there a problem?""yeah, of course there is, my tutorial is on Tuesday,not after this lecture.""oh.. then are in the right class?"*getting angry*"Yeah, my timetable said E-214, at 8am, but I heard thelecture was pushed to 9am.""This is Rock n Roll class (legit, there's a creative module calledSex, Drugs and Rock n Roll)""Err.. I'm supposed to be in Narrative Production?""Haha, can't help you there."
so I'm about to explode already... I leave the class and try to connect my lappy to the eduroam network or the QUT network to access Blackboard and see just what the fuck is going on with the timetable. And then ..
THE BLOODY THING WOULDN'T CONNECT!
So fine, I stomped back home and connected to BigAir instead and realized that, both the VENUE and the TIME of class had been shifted and I was like so angry I didn't go to school in the end.
Anyway lecture notes said it was just introduction to the topic today, and it's basically part 2 of the Introduction to Film unit, whatever I'll go next week and I will glare at the teacher for changing the timetable like that, goodness if it was at the City and I had to travel back and forth I would have really stormed in and screamed.
at 11am, I promptly reached the Blue Lotus Cafe, see I would have to leave lecture early anyway because it was originally planned to end at 11 anyway! Dumb school. Yes so, went there and Mr. Francis took me and 3 of his staff to DiBella warehouse, factory and training centre.
DiBella is the best coffee in Australia, with consecutive awards since 2007 (I think), the barista we were trained under is ranked 4th in the world and he has invented several drinks himself. Till Friday I had no idea there were coffee conferences and such. DiBella is the official coffee host on the Masterchef show.
this is a Coffee Plant.
yupp a coffee bean
Coffee served at Blue Lotus is of tip-top quality, and costs about AUD$40 a kg, please treasure your drink the next time you go to Blue Lotus. The photo below is a coffee condenser I forgot what it does but it looks like a cool giant hourglass thingy.
Coffee beans being roasted!
packaged and sent off!
a 20k coffee machine used for competitions.
my first two cups of coffee! :DD
Not glossy enough on the rims of the cup but I feel that it was a good attempt, we each made about 12 cups of coffee and did coffee shots and stuff. It's pretty cool [:
After about 1.5hours in the training centre, I went off to met Aaron in the city to go to University of Queensland to explore! :DDD we took a bus there and I met Erica briefly. She looked stressed like she had a lot of work to do.. and then Andy came and took us around the school.
Stop 1: The Great Court.
Stop 2: The Law building
Andy was complaining that only ahtiongs take photos in UQ, hahaha and Aaron was like, I'm gonna take a photo here when I graduate!!! lolol.
Stop 3: UQ Art Museum
Stop 4: Just One of the tracks in the school .. (QUT doesn't even have a track!) theirs even has a Beach Volleyball court! D:
Are you kidding me? JUST ONE?! I think there are 3 stadiums at least in UQ, not forgetting their Aquatic Centre and their Olympic Pool.
Stop 5: Human Movement building, special gym and equipment for the Sportscience students
Stop 6: UQ Lakes, I'm gonna heck it and let this photo stick out of the border because it's so awesome!!! Thanks Andy!
Looks like the poisonous flower in Ice Age 3 hahahaha
and back to the Great Court teeheee~
This funny photo was taken when I was lying on the grass and I took a panoramic shot of the sky . LOL.
Then we took the Citycat back to the city! wheeee, yes the ferry was very windy and it was night time, so the view at the Brisbane River and Southbank was soooooo pretty!!!
Our day does not end there... Andy went back, me and Aaron went for dinner at Funnyfunny, due to strange reasons and after a great deal of useless calling, james, wanting and victoria did not turn up for either the dinner or the movie after. So what the hell, we went anyway. Hotpot dinner for 4 consumed by 2 of us, and Aaron's friends actually came along to celebrate one of the friend's graduation! So we had even more food because they kept offering us more dishes! yumyumyum urghhh.. so full.
had a very interesting talk with Aaron about Hougang boys and their characteristic traits. hahahhaa super funny. Then we headed to Southbank to watch Batman, The Dark Knight Rises. unfortunately the tickets were sold out since morning! So we walked to MyerCentre, oh yes, Sebastian and Royston and Weiyang came along to watch the movie, they're all Andy's housemates. So we did watch the show at Myer, jeeezus $16 ticket. But it was a great show. Except that Bane's voice was super unclear and actually... Batman too.
Andy kindly came to send me home from the city at about 1am. Phewww.. I actually didn't sleep immediately I was still awake 'til 3am then I conked out hahahaaa. and so I missed the BBQ in the morning but I had to fast anyway. So sorry folks for not turning up.
Packed my room instead, look at the lovely shelves now.. but of course, not many know how my room looked like previously :o
Actually it's all thanks to the Ikea set of Black boxes that I can organize everything so neatly. heeheee. and yes tied up all the wires and into a drawer so they won't hang loose anymore.
So I had a bad Friday morning, but the rest of the day was so awesome! The weekend was pretty boring except a lovely dinner at Sunnybank last night with Vicky, Wanjeong, Aaron + Aaron's sister, Anna and Johnny. Vicky confiscated all our phones so that we would be more social and it was hilarious when me and Johnny started talking about games and Aaron joined in and all we talked about was movies and stuff. heehee [: I'm going to sleep early because I have an awesome 3hour Accounting lecture tomorrow morning D:

my mother now calls my brother an ungrateful demon and a Muslim psychopath, and calls his gf an ugly dwarf old witch. good god....
dear god, kindly provide my mother with a paradigm shift so that she will stop torturing herself. It's very inhumane for her to suffer like that, her bad childhood, her bad marriage, her bad kids, and everything. She has nothing left. She doesn't have a warm family to go to, she gave up a man because she felt bad, she still thinks she has hope in me which I don't know what to do with it.

as much as it pains me.. just look at the both of my parents. the heck am I supposed to do?
and then... not good for my outlook?!
My parents war will not affect me, it will not change me. Ever. They can battle it out til the graves and I won't bother helping either side.

Tuesday, July 24, 2012 - [blood test.]
Firstly, a big big
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
to two special people,
1. CheeHooi, my dearest friend from secondary 3, boy has she grown into such a beauty! My literature buddy recently martian buddy ♥
2. Joseph, my pre-school tablemate ! I remember complaining to each other about dry Chinese classes, and Joseph once told me he would sing in his sleep :p
So okay, I survived my 'first' day of school today, heehee, okay 2nd day of sem2, but heck, from now I probably won't go to school on Mondays anyway because it's a mere one hour recorded lecture. I had 3hours of accounting at 10am this morning, gosh I was so sleepy.
There was an indian lady beside me, who had an overwhelming flowery scent, actually it was very nice scent not the kinds you smell in SG, it was very pleasant, such that I almost fell asleep. But I forced myself awake because I had to look at the balancing statements and whatnot, new to this accounting stuff.
Somehow I've already decided which business mods I will do next sem, boy do I plan ahead.
Saw some booths in GP, apparently it's Market Week, got myself a Citycycle card so I can finally cycle in the city~ whewww... James kindly accompanied me to take my blood test at Manor Apartments, which is at the "UOB centre" area of SG CBD, it looks pretty similar, big buildings and a grass patch in the middle of them all.
I'm not afraid of needles so I stared at it as she poked it in and watched my blood squirt into two bottles. But the nurse applied heavy pressure on the spot which was more painful than the needle itself .. and my left arm felt so weak and limp the whole day, even now.. I went to woolies to buy food to cook dinner and carried three bags with one hand lol. I must have looked like a retard when my left arm was like empty and I leaned to pick up three bags with one hand and keep my cards and all with the same hand.
weak much?

the files from James's DSLR are so huge that blogger refused to upload them after an hour. so nevermind, that's what facebook is for. [: spent the day at a Regional Flavours food festival at Southbank with taitai, wanjeong and james, though people thought I was toturing myself because I had to fast, it wasn't that bad. The food looked great but the fair grounds were nice and I felt very happy and peaceful there.
There was cheese, chocolate, meat, wine, seafood, dessert stalls and a wide array of other food stalls, including vegetarian stuff. Pity it was a weekend thing, so too bad for the Brizzy folks who missed it, but the Ekka is coming up! :DD So don't miss that! The biggest annual carnival in Brisbane!

we went to watch Ted after that, what a nonsensical movie, but funny nonetheless. I like mila, she's sooooooo pretty. why! I wanna be pretty like that too ):
I forgot to go to school today, I honestly thought my lesson was at 2pm, but it's actually at 12pm. whutttttt.. okay, my bad really, but I will be a good girl and watch the online recording of the lecture. [: okay I can't wait for this semester to be over, because 2 of my units are rubbish and they're like "part 2" of my previous sem's units, so I've looked at the course outlines and they look pretty similar = boring.

Saturday, July 21, 2012 - [Frozen.]
Hello all, I have been to the doctor finally~ and I've got medicine so hopefully I'm okay soon! It's getting better! It sounds very gross but basically it's like somewhere along my large intestine to anus where the poop flows. eurrghhh there's like a split or tear that's causing pain to me whenever I go poop. Umm.. like an ulcer in your mouth, if something brushes past it hurts. And because I've braved the pain and consistently went to the washroom, the doctor said it didn't heal, unlike other people who hold their poop in fear of pain. Good and bad.
Besides that, my lower eyelids are very pale pink and my face is pale too, as the doctor observed, diagnosing me as anaemic, which accounts for my abnormal amount of sleep recently.
Okay ignoring the medical stuff, I've watched "The Pianist" and "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" over the past two nights while nursing myself to health which plenty plenty of water. [: good shows ! German war and another about plotting for war! :o
An unfortunate event struck on Thursday when Weiqin (a new friend at CLV, very cute but abit helpless and blur, but book smart, don't know her well enough but she likes strawberries too ^^) had to fly home on Friday morning. So she hurriedly booked her ticket and checked the train and bus schedules to reach Gold Coast Airport by 7am. Damn you Scoot for only landing in GC.
It was all planned on Thursday afternoon, while me taitai V and Juanita (physio friend from UQ!) went to Ikea to buy taitai's shoerack and table magnifying mirror for her to do make-up haha. We met at KG bus-stop and saw Melvin and James who wanted to play MJ before school started. So okay~
Ikea was about 2hours away and my my was it tough going there, changing 3 buses and a train! D: had lunchie at a practically EMPTY cafe, but no halal meatballs like in Tampines ): wanted to buy some stuff but we had no time, because the last bus leaving Ikea was at 6.43pm and by the time we reached Ikea it was 4pm, plus lunch and all? @@" we barely made it out of Ikea, 2mins after exiting, the LAST bus arrived, and we also caught the second last bus from Loganholme, otherwise .. we would be stranded at Ikea from 7pm to the next morning, which would have been disastrous because who would bring Weiqin to the airport??
So we got home much faster than the journey to Ikea, and then unexpectedly, Aaron and Andy turned up at CLV to come play MJ too! :DD So it was likeeee.. a big party of people, 7 of us stayed up all night, watching Korean drama, playing Saboteur and MJ and then at 4.30am we prepared to go to GoldCoast.
Thankfully Andy and Aaron showed up out of nowhere, because Aaron said from experience, catching the 5am train from RomaStreet, and taking the very first bus from Varsity Lakes won't be early enough to catch the 9am flight, and thank god Andy was there, with a car! so 5am, me weiqin taitai aaron and Andy sat in the car and drove to Gold Coast. Melvin and James went back to Herston, so near anyway.
After sending the adorable girl to the departure hall, we were .. lost. 6.30am at GoldCoast, and nowhere to go. We were planning to eat yummy noodles at Surfer's Paradise but it only openned at 11am. So it was Andy's grand idea to go to the beach and watch the sunrise. Beautiful but the sand was ice. I could feel my feet losing their feelings and I swear they looked blue.
Cringing not from the gusty winds but my feet were seriously freezing.
gosh my hair is atrocious.
Escaping the icy water!
After a refreshing experience, we went for breakfast before heading homeeeeeee. waiting for noodles 'til 11am was too much for us. It was cold and quiet and we were all sleepy.

Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - [anti?]
Since I came back on Sunday morning, I have barely done anything in Brizzy, just feeling lazy.. and a bit ill and very bored... I think my roommates must think I'm very anti-social and weird because I'm always locked in my room, I go out at weird times of the night, suddenly I have alot of friends over, and then the next 24hours I'm locked up again..
I called the doctor today for an appointment at 1.30 tmrw. because I know I won't wake up much earlier than that, I do, but I won't get up out of bed simply because there's nothing to do and sleeping helps me avoid eating.
No, I'm not on a diet, I just have a very upset tummy, kidney, liver and intestines that seem to be malfunctioning all at once, so I feel I should have a liquid diet of soup and water and avoid going to the toilet until I see the doctor, which is tomorrow~ I don't think that's very good for my body now, but I'm just scared to eat. But I LOVE TO EAT. So no, no diet, just being safe.

Tuesday, July 17, 2012 - [aimless]
I feel very aimless.. recently, I kinda feel very un-motivaed to do anything. I am just bored of life... I think it's because I've seen people who do nothing and live happily that's why I'm unmotivated. Don't feel like eating because of my bad stomach. I think I have piles or something similar. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow and hopefully I'm not terminally ill or whatever.
I had a bad flight to Brisbane, I had an unlucky stay in SG, but okay la things happen, and I wasn't super upset.. I don't feel like reading my books, or drawing, or watching movies, or going out, or playing games anymore. ):
