Of throwing up and pretty pictures.

I got unbelivably drunk on Friday; was probably at eve for like, what? Less than an hour! I literally puked my guts out, and am still hungover til now -

(it's been more than 36hours already!).

I have so much more work to do and may God help me, but I've been facebooking and basically 'recovering' on my couch only since forever.

I
NEED
TO
WORK!!

Oh yes, people go get facebook it's so addictive and so much fun!

Let the games, begin.

RULES OF THE GAME:
Each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you must choose six people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks!

I don't like this me.

The current me is detestable, for I am developing a real bad habit in the midst of doing a lot of analysis and graphing (I have done at least 10 graphs thus far. More to come!). This is the me who has a lot of work to catch up on; I had to slack my Public Holiday away, I had to. Huff*

"You won't know the facts until you've seen the fiction."

"Girls like me don't make invitations like this to just anyone!"

Caught up with Harvard over lunch, and intitial plans to watch The Number 23 were scrapped because the box office wasn't open when we got there, and then we got lazy. Of course I won't discount the fact that because Harv is a media graduate who favours arthouse over commercial films, his reluctance to watch Carrey's new flick got to me a bit. His recommendations of several non-mainstream movies (which I personally have heard to be really good) faltered my decision of having to watch a relaxing commercial movie a bit, and I gave in; we headed back to his, only to pick Pulp Fiction out of a range of others like The Matrix (yawns?), Schindler's List, Wong Kar-Wai's works, etc (all part of The List, see below).

"Yeah, well the days of me forgetting are over, and the days of me remembering have just begun."

- Pumpkin in PF.

I couldn't have said it better myself, and I will now live by that quote (if I manage to remember not to forget, of course).

By the time I got home in the evening, I did relatively plenty of work, and then tried to watch this:

"Ever wanted to be someone else?
Now you can."

Being John Malkovich is basically about the idea of being inside someone else's skin, seeing what they see, and feeling what they feel. I'm actually only halfway through this movie, but already I am sufficiently intrigued by Jonze's techniques and allthatjazz. I guess this is worth a watch;

(I found the following out after spending some time at Metropolis Bookstore yesterday afternoon; a very interesting place itself)

both BJM and Pulp Fiction are included in 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die.

(I don't know how much you can trust this list though, considering some 'errr' movies [read: 'Titanic'] are in the 1001 too!)

In any case, my journey to cover these 1001 begins...

And yes, Hello Bali. :)

This cigarette it could seduce, an entire nation with its smoke.

//edit: Sometimes.
Why is it that sometimes, your actions betray your words? What are you trying to hide? I wonder. Sometimes.

They say seeing is believing.

Today was utterly productive: went to class, had lunch-gossip sesh with Mel, Jean and Jon after stats class, and then went for more class and watched Ong-Bak (which is officially one of my fave movie now), had a lecture, got home, youtubed, and then headed to Bimbo's on Brunswick St for dinner with Mel, Kev, Daryl and Chris. Dinner was superyummy AUD4 pizzas! And dessert was chocolate pizza (topped with dark choc sauce with MORE choc sauce in the pizza itself). It is tres addictive! I wanna have it everyday now!! But for obvious reasons, I shouldn't. Also equally addictive: action cinema aka kung fu films! I'm telling you, Ong-Bak kicked a lot of ass (both literally, and metaphorically)! If you like action cinema and haven't watched this one, you should!


The final essay questions are up (already! Groans.), and I think I'm gonna do mine on Kung Fu-Martial Arts Action cinema in Asia! Was especially inspired after today's lecture on Asian Cinemascapes, and as of now, I am really inspired to start on my final assignment.

Oh well, but you know what I'll do in this case - sit and wait this feeling away!

"Cheerleaders are dancers gone retarded."

Oh, rainy day, you sure know how to ruin things.

(And shoes, too. *sulks*)
Tram 86 passing Southern Cross Station; just for you, J. I know it's an old tram! But get over it!

Lying there with a can of Coke, a pack of Doritos and dip, legs hanging over the side of my couch whilst watching Bring It On - absolute relaxation; I really needed to unwind after the high-stress chat with Mom. Doing all my dishes and cleaning the stove and mopping the kitchen floor also prove to have relaxing effects. Of course, J and Sonz' optimism pull me back up. :)In any case, today's trip to DFO proved fruitful (as always), and I return with two new PJ tops (one that says "Sleep now, Party later" ;)) and two dresses from pilgrim (one of which I've been eyeing since the first time I went with Xiu the first week I got back!). Being the absolute fashionista that I am, I have already decided when to wear these: one to the theatre when I get back, and the other will be perfect for nighttime beach settings (especially useful if Bali materializes!).

And now, look who became friends:

Oppih and Tiger. From the men in my life.

Kiss kiss, bang bang.

Ripped off Char's.

I know my congrats is waaay belated, but I'm no less proud of my girls! Honestly! Look at how gorge their designs turned out; I can see why they won Best Visual and Best Overall concept at their Grad show (that's 2 out of 4 awards, mind you!). All your hard work and sleepless nights paid off, so now just kick back and enjoy your success! Plenty of love and kisses honeys, I miss all of you!


Okay, now Blogger uploads pictures fine when I'm halfway between my work. Major GAH!

Your telescope eyes, see everything clearly.

Bummer.
Blogger won't let me upload photos!
Gah!!
So there - plain language statements undressed with vibrant photos.
Oh well,
have a great weekend everyone;
I know mine will be -
Gonna have Mich sleepover (k-drama marathon and nail painting!) tonight, and gonna try my bestest to go shopping to comfort meself on Sunday.

:)

When my heart is full.

To say that Eastaaaa break was a blast would be an understatement. Major, understatement. Pictorial evidence? In this post, and the next. ;)

Coincidence is when you park right next to 066, when you're 077.

Disappointment: Vineyard we didn't get a chance to tour. Sulks*

Euphoria is the feeling you get when you're at the top of the world.

Excitment:
You don't say! As corny as you can get. They printed paperbags just for me! ;)

Breathlessnes:
Come again? What waterfall?

Reflection.

Cape Schnack.

Togetherness.

View from the top; we had to go down all the way on a narrow boardwalk! Gah! Ena and trekking don't mesh yo. Worse if it's freezing!

It was freezing!!

We made it to the bottom!

Sat, we headed down to Vic Market after YumCha, and saw some cute fluffy duckies! Too bad I'm bad with pets not allowed to have pets here, or I would have loved a duckie! Indulged in the superyummy American jam donuts, then we went home, lazed around and had an afternoonnap, only to wake up to trek to Lygon for some good ol' Papa Gino's and Casa del Gelato's gelati! Heavenly. Yum. And then it was off to Chaise!

Sunset viewing. In the comfort of my home.

Attack of the Purse!

The following night, after Miss Saigon (absolute brilliance, by the way!), we went back to the Giant Clam:

Tell me you love not The Public Purse!!

Last day of Easter, nao shi qu:

Sunday = Baskers lined up on Bourke.

J's obsession of the day: Artistic shots.

J's indecent obsession with the new trams.

Coloured stools outside Trampoline.

Okay, I'm getting a bit sleepy now. The flu is not helping the lethargy as well. Will finish my photolog soon, so don't you go anywhere yet! :)

Clockwork/ left behind.

Timecheck: 12.50AM.
Something seems to be missing in this night;
You lie not by my side.
Hope your red-eye flight is treating you alright,
although you've only just taken off like, 35 minutes ago.
The Sunday before,
it felt so surreal that you were here.
Today,
it feels so surreal that you came, and left.
I held the tears in,
but they just came pouring out when Sonz said, "Don't worry, you are going to be okay."
I know not the validity of that statement,
for I am exhausted to the bone tonight,
and 2 glasses of wine just shut my system down...

Thank you for a wonderful time, you're my favourite tourist. ;)

(koreanfood @ Oriental Spoon, TMNT, Prison Break 'Live' and the Viking @ Luna Park, gorgeous sunsets and freezing nights, Meet the Robinsons halfpipe session on comfy beanbags, Krispy kremes at Melb Central, cheap branded footwear, yummy dinners, Mornington roadtripping, drunken sleep-ins...oh countless memories!)

Love,
Me.

Missing you already.

I know that it's late
And maybe I shouldn't be so into you
It's just that tonight
I am so taken, I've fallen for you
When I look in your eyes I can see
A million possibilities
And I know you'll be leaving me soon
But tonight

Come a little bit closer
Let me hold you baby
I will be good to you
And we can try
To forget tomorrow
And make it last forever tonight

So if you must go
Know that I'll be missing you, wishing you closer
So let's make the most of these
Moments together, we'll never forget
And it's breaking my heart 'cause I know
That tomorrow you'll be miles away
And I catch myself wanting so much more

Tonight

Come a little bit closer
Let me hold you baby
I will be good to you
And we can try
To forget tomorrow
And make it last forever tonight

So if you're leaving me now
Baby I don't know how
I will ever get over you
Because you opened my eyes
To this love that's inside
Oh baby, baby, don't ever, ever leave me

Come a little bit closer
Let me hold you baby
I will be good to you
And we can try
To forget tomorrow
And make it last forever tonight x3


And you're sound asleep like a baby...

Unbearable lightness of being.

Gorgeous.

永远的起点.

Once upon a time,
don't you know that I was wrong and you were right?

I'll try to do it right this time around.

I try to see the good in life,
but good things in life are hard to find.
Blown away, blown away.
Can we make this something good?

(Maybe you'll be relieved to know that I doubt myself more than I do you.)

And what if I tried to trust, just for once?
I'm trying, I am.
But you're not making this easy are you?
You give me a million and one reasons for doubt,
And it doesn't bother you that I am one giant, psychological mess.

Once, I wanted a lot for us.
But as the days drew on, all I wanted faded away,
with a growing recognition (on my part) of the impossibility of fulfilment.
Sometimes, just sometimes,
your lack of concern hurts.

It does.


It really, does.

But why does it matter to you? It is my mess, not yours, afterall.

Freudian slip ;

Talk psychology to me.
It's fucking sexy!


This melody is making me cry.

//edit ;
And the (mood) forecast for the week?

Saturday onwards:

Saturday      Fine. Mostly sunny.                Min  9    Max 20

Sunday        Fine.                                  Min  9    Max 23

Tuesday       Fine.                                  Min 16    Max 27
Wednesday     Fine.                                  Min 17    Max 26

You bring the sunshine here with you. :)

Mending tears ;

sew·ing. –verb (used with object)

1.	to join or attach by stitches.

2.	to make, repair, etc., (a garment) by such means.

When something's torn, what do you do?
Well you mend it, of course.
Especially if you really liked it, you should always patch it back together.
After it's done, it'll look good as new,
and trust me - no one probably knows it was imperfect in the first place.
I really don't like empty promises, and this was such an empty promise -
promises of long-lasting wear was such a lie.

I don't like sewing much, but if that's what I gotta do, I'll do it.
Today, I did my bout of sewing;
that's what I get for putting my Abercrombie knitted jumper into the washer.

//edit ;
No love, and attention.
And you wanna know how I really feel about this?
Seriously.
And you ask me why.
Ask me why again!
Seriously.
Whateverrrrr.

(I just wanna say 'whatever!' to everything right now,
so if that's not something you wanna hear then may I suggest you stay away?)

And just because I'm bored, and extremely lightheaded from toomuch caffine:

Time for fringe-trim, no?

And I'd rather be doing this:

Or having this. A real one, please! *Peko, peko*

All this anger, inside of me.

Fuckkkkkk.


Just felt like ranting.
But so do not feel any better.

Now, now. Watch the tail.

It's a quarter to 7 (pm).

And I've only been in Uni since 9am. =/ Well, I actually thought staying back in Uni to do my work would have been more productive, considering I rot online and walk around my apartment doing nothing most of the time. I now realise that Uni comps have this program that lets you edit photos, and look what I did! Loving the aged look:

Hugs, silly. :)

ARGH! Didn't get much done, meeting Mich for dinner soon. Baa baa black sheep! OH it was a weird, very random day today. And sleepy too! Drowsy, drowsy. Had to literally drag myself out of bed; really shouldn't have had the SoHo Lemonades (loves it!), Sex on the Beaches, and whatnots. Really! On a school night! TSK Ena!

Don't let me go back there.

You're right, "It doesn't matter anymore."
To you,
Nothing does.
Nothing did.

So let me lead my life my own way, ok?
Your time is up, anyway.


Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

Love, where is your fire?

For the past hour, I've been getting my technological fix for the day - uploading pictures, updating Friendster, YouTubing, blog-surfing, blog-updating, and then downloading. Artistes of the day: JJ Lin, Cassie and Avant. Currently OD-ing on both, especially Avant Ft Nicole Scherzinger's 'Lie About Us'. Never realised Avant has some awesome, slow, slow sexy songs.

Click, click!

Last night's club hop (for Nish's bday) from Seven at Southbank, to Khokolat behind our places on Hardware Lane. Khokolat is our newfound joint where we can find RnB on a Saturday night (fyi, clubs generally play Trance or House on Sats in Melb, so you can imagine our excitment). Pictures, and then I'm off to attempt some work!

This is what non-smokers do when the rest are smoking.

Cornered.

It's about time to welcome the start of a new week. I'm not complaining. Are you?


Love, where is your fire?
I've been sitting here smoking away
making signals with sticks and odd ends and bits,
but there's no sign of a flame.
