Smoke **** everyday.

'Twas a good night;

Everyone was at Zouk and everyone got wasteeeeeeeed. Oh and, toomanysuppers makes you a fattybombom.

Again.

I can almost feel the wind in my hair. All over again. Let's keep the good times a-rollin' guys! :)

"It's not about how you fall, but how you land."

Despite being incredibly sick, I managed to accomplish quite a number of things over the weekend; on Sat I went down to Fed Square for the Pixar exhibition which was a real eye-opener:

• there are 3 elements to a successful animation: character, story, and world;
• the Zoetrope was amazing (3-D effects simply just by spinning a platform fast enough);
• as the people behind the scenes assert, it's all about 'making something unbelievable out of something that seems fantasy-like';
• you get to see sketches of the 'before' process (pastel and pencil sketchings, mostly) and these sketches highlight the tedious thought and formulation process that goes before an animation is finished! there was at least 10 different Edna Modes conceptualized, although thank God for the resulting one which I love much ("ed.nah")!
• we also got some sneak peeks of Ratatouille! :D
  
• i hate talented people. :( i can't even draw a proper stick figure!
  

Words simply don't do the exhibition justice, so if anyone has the chance they should totally go down to check out this themselves! Lunch was late and a heavy one at Shanghai Dumpling House, and we totally over ordered - 1 plate of fried dumplings, a bowl of steamed dumplings in soup, a szechuan hot&spicy soup, and a superduperspicy Tan Tan la mien! Basically food unsuitable for a person as sick as myself. But ah! Guilty pleasures I just can't keep away from! ;)


Sunday was lazy and sleepy, and I caught up with my ex-floormates over dinner at Papa Gino's on Lygon (always a favorite!). We proceeded to gelati at Freddo's (which I refrained from!) and then ended up at Jason's new pad for a short while. Right after everyone had to leave, I went over to Damien's place to get the remaining Ugly Betty episodes (which I have been obsessing over since Fri!!!) and put them on as soon as I got home! I really should stop the UB binge, because it's costing me precious sleep...

We go up to come down...

By the 90th (out of a 100 MCQs) question, I was secretly congratulating myself for making it that far; the 3-hour paper that started 9.30am seemed such a stretch - I was exhausted by 10am what with all that calculations and theory testing. Gah. It was simply full-on. But thank god I'm FINALLY done with exams! Bye bye Academia even if only for a couple of weeks! Hello once again, Life!!

Lunch was at White Tomato on Bourke, affordable and reasonably yummy (sorry Mel :P) Korean. Lunch = destress + bitching session, as always, and after that, I went to Melb Central and Myer's to do a bout of shopping. Did come back with quite a harvest! I just couldn't resist although I kept telling myself to wait for Mom (so she'll pay heh heh). Mom is gonna be here when I wake up! Awesomeness! I am so looking forward to (paid for) good food, shopping, and basically not having to do anything! :) And now, back to where I left off with iLike and MADtv...

If i could i would
do it again
id do it again
i wouldnt change a thing

We have love, and lose love
and do it again we do it again
but thats how we are
we come back just to throw it all away

tell me its over
so we can do it all again
im addicted to this elevator love
tell me you miss me
and i will come back for one more day
im addicted to this elevator love
Elevator love

we laugh, we cry
and do it again
do it again
we go to hell and back

But theres something 'bout you i cant keep away
just cant keep away
we know we'll crash down (we crash and we crash and we)
but i dont want it any other way

...just to turn it around
and face it all again.

Happy birthday Da!!

Happy Birthday Ah Da! Again sadly, my exam timetable sucks and holiday plans don't coincide with your birthday like last year :(. But in any case, I'm sure you had a great time with NR the KK and all your other close friends! Definitely should have a follow-up celebration with T11 when I get back! Hang on ok!! And well, nearly 6 years of friendship..what can I say?? Dope!! ;) Cheers to more good times to come! :)
