.i waited and waited...

Fall 2010 – Alfred Nicholas Memorial Garden.

And you have finally arrived!!!!! :)

I missed you, Autumn. Where have you been all these while? And most importantly, how are you???

Summer had been pretty nasty to me.. :( And I've been thinking of you all these time...

I actually thought you weren't coming to visit this year, because we are already approaching the winter months.. But here you are!!! You came!!!!!!!! :D

Could you stay a little longer? How about negotiating with Winter for a bit and see how things go?

Please stay, because you are, and will always be, my favorite season of the year.

.avatar?

GWK Cultural Center, Bali, Indonesia.

Have you watched Avatar and like it so much, that you would watch it again/have watched it again? What about this - do you have a friend who had not watched it and kept asking you what the movie's about?

What did you answer? Could you explain the movie thoroughly?
Because I couldn't - it's either that I am not good in explaining stuff or I just don't know how to start... And this was all I could say to those who had not watched the movie: "..You have to watch it.. Just watch it and you'll understand!"

...

Okay, this blog is NOT dead.. I've been too busy with assignments and homework so I haven't been visiting here (and not to mention, Flickr) as often as I used to. :(

I miss photography.. I do make the effort to take my camera out with me to uni but I am just too stressed out, tired and worried for any inspirations...

And no, this does NOT mean I'm giving up photography! I'll get back to it...as soon as I can... :(

:(

Alright, time to stop typing and get ready for another day at uni. TGIF? Nope... Not after this whole LDR thing started.

.i've forgotten.....

Reading Glasses.

...How to study for the exams.

Seriously, it has been soooo long since I sat for my last exam, I think it was for this unit called Web 3D Technology at RMIT Uni.

And...It's..So...Bloody...Hot here. Seriously.. I feel like I am 20% melted already. But this doesn't give me an excuse not to study for the exam, which takes place in 4 days time.

Wait.. 4 Days?? 4 DAYS!!?!?!?!? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay better get back to exam review now.. I still haven't quite understand ColdFusion and JavaScript yet. Gotta read. READ READ READ!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh wait.. I haven't figure out how to study for the exam... Umm.. I'll get by.. Hopefully.

.my first encounter with alcohol/drug test on-the-go

Individual (photo taken in 2008).

..Umm, you know, where 20 policemen's (why do they need so many stationed in one section anyway?) would stand around, holding one of those breath tester thinger to check how much alcohol or drugs drivers have had?

Yup.

I'm 22 going 23 in less than a month. Oct 17th, 2009 marks the day when I'd first encounter one of those things. I had nothing to worry about since I haven't had alcohol in like, 8 months.. Chinese cooking wine don't count as alcohol, does it?

I wasn't worried at all when I got tested, because I knew my conscience was clear (and still is). My purpose of driving today was just to get me from home to uni for a group assignment.

It was just a normal day.

What amused me was that I got tested TWICE in a day, once at around 12.55pm, and another at around 6.50pm, a mere 6-hour gap.

Hmmm......

.double trouble

Trouble [on Victoria Street, Melbourne].

SF and I were in the middle of hanging our laundries when all of a sudden, he said, "Wow look! There's a car accident there [by Victoria Street].. And there's even a police car!"

And we stopped what we were doing and checked out the scene from our apartment's winter garden. "Where's your telephoto zoom lens?" SF asked. "I wanna zoom in on the camera and see what's going on."

I went and grab my 350D with the EF-S 55-250mm attached. Took a few photos before passing it to SF, who started commenting on stuff while he looked through the camera's viewfinder.

Hmm.. Interesting. Part of me was intrigued by the car accident, and part of me felt sorry for those involved. - they probably stood under the rain for an hour or something. :\

So.. Here are the questions.. by SF and me.

1. What did that blue car do!?!? How did the driver end up in the lane that's going opposite direction!?

2. Seriously, was it really necessary for the authorities to block 2 - 3 lanes on Victoria Street? I mean, it was peak hour and there's always traffic congestion on Victoria St. at around this time every weekday.


Tell us what you think!

.defeated

A well-deserved shower.

It's only Wednesday night and quite a bit of things have already happened in the past three days. I think someone will be pretty happy about me mentioning the events.. Hehe and so I shall give him/her the attention he/she was seeking. ;)

I've received my first official hate comment! You can check them out here, here, and here if you are curious or haven't already seen them. These comments were obviously written by someone extremely uneducated and unprofessional and were just empty threats anyway. Even if he/she attempts to do more I could always use those as evidence and hand them over to the authorities when the time comes.

I was serious when I said I was going to report this case.. Everything has quieten down at the moment and I will not hesitate to go to the police if something comes along later.

I'll be keeping the comments (in my e-mail) for as long as I exist in this world, in case the policemen needs extra information (for related/similar cases) in future. :D

––

Anyways, just as I have defeated some coward who probably hides behind the computer all day to send hate comments and threats , I have been defeated...

By some virus.

Oh yea, my temperature measured 38ºC (100.4ºF) earlier this evening and SF had to go down to the chemist to pick up medication for me.. :\ I'm feeling slightly better now as I type this, so don't worry about me. I'll be fine by tomorrow night! :D

The next challenge, which takes place in about 5 minutes time, would be to shower. SF was asking me if I was going to take a shower tonight, since I'm freezing under layers of blanket/scarf/sweatshirt/sweat pants. I HAVE to shower everyday, even if the temperature drops to –something-degrees-Celsius! And I HAVE to wash my hair too!!!

:| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :|

Okay, I will take a shower and get it over with.. And I think I'll take the portable heater in with me. Brrrrrrrr.

.coincidental?

Double egg yolk.

SF was cooking some Maggi chicken flavored instant noodles last night. Just as he took an egg out of the fridge, he thought to himself, "How nice if there were two egg yolks inside this egg...."

And he got a shock of his life after he cracked open the egg and add it into the sauce pan. There were 2 egg yolks beneath the egg shell and the whole thought was actually random!!!

:| :O :| :O :| :O

SF was freaked out and surprised at the same time.. But since he was starving to death, he didn't question the egg anymore and started gobbling the bowl of noodles. LOL.

.happy easter

Happy Easter Y'all!

I don't know if I'm too late... But Happy Easter everyone!

I'm so going to buy remaining Easter bunnies and eggs from Coles/Safeway/Big W!!! Easter egg sale --- here I come!!!

.how to stand out in the crowd 101

Standing out from the Crowd.

Do:

> Wear colors like bright pink or red.
> Pose like a celebrity (see above image).
> Put on make up to make yourself beautiful.
> Be cute (this applies to kids only).
> Face the cameras around you and don't look directly at them.


Do NOT:

> Smile. No smiling. It makes you look cool and more celebrity-like.
> Put on your casual clothing (e.g. t-shirts).
> Behave similarly to those around you. Be different!
> Be normal.
> Wear pale color clothings (e.g. white, beige).

Umm.. Yeah. That's all. And I hope that helps.
