weekend

It has been an emo weekend. I've been emo and my floormates have been affected by my emo-ness. We were talking about really serious issues in the kitchen >.< Think i was already emo on friday night? I can't seem to recall what I did that night. Movies with toto and faezah? yea i did... homerun and army daze. Sibei tanchia... i love ahbeng in that show! he's so funny. Then we watched this really gay youtube video with a guy dancing nobody. omgomgomg! i was laughing my teeth out. Then came saturday... i had my usual marketing trip just that i overspent. Then, eshan treated to some really good indian food. i'm sorry i can't remember what it's called. Think there were cottage cheese - indian version in it. Tasted like tofu. Then we had roti (garlic and chilli flavoured) with the gravy. Slurrrps! Then i went to bake cookies. It was my virgin attempt! Tried to correct the texture of the cookies. For my first tray, my cookies all got stuck together after they expanded. 2nd tray went really well. I'm gonna try again this coming weekend! While i was cooking dinner... had chat sessions with xin, tomatoman and kajima. Earth hour! i spent my earth hour eating desserts by py and faezah and watching mind ur language! so funnnniieeeee! I joined my floormates shortly after i finished the desserts before earth hour ended. It was really cool when all my floormates came out and everyone just chatted at the corridor. We went maccas after that on nat's and jen's car. Weirdly, i met peifen, grace and susan there. LOL! We just hung around maccas for a while and headed back. I had a drive on nat's car. It had no power steering so it was really difficult turning. cool! i didn't noe how to operate an auto car so kajima did it for me. At night... i continued my emo-ing. rofl! Sunday...spent most of my time hibernating. tomatoman dyed his hair at night and he's officially known as mr brown now =) xin cooked daekbeoggi and i ate some. We played those stupid waterbottle, bangbang games at the dining table with the rest. it was quite fun seeing everyone trying to guess. Toto also showed us his similar thai versions of the games and seriously, i can't guess his =.=

Sometimes I don't understand why certain people can do things certain ways. Either i) obviously we are different so we do things differently ii) i dun understand that person at all OR iii) i understand but i refuse to accept things that way. I've no idea whether i should continue being nice or be direct and go around hurting people. It hurts myself to carry out the former all the time, like knives stabbing through my heart. I guess you don't know.

overwhelmed

Represented Chisholm for badminton. Hid the thing for some time until the last moment before i left my room, i put it on my msn nick. Then again, there were nice friends who came to support me. I'm really appreciative of that =) Thanks guys! Even though i lost both matches in the end, luckily we win overall due to the points accumulated. I think i felt really sore about losing cos we lost by 1 point after 3 matches. Interesting thing was, i played with a girl who's totally like chen liying! i was like omgomgomg. haha! so funnie... I loved wearing the uniform. so nice! So nice when i battled glenn. I used to be such an anti-social person in glenn, then there i am in an inter-college competition battling my ex-college, representing another college. Irony!

After the competition, i just chilled out with the poddies in my kitchen area. Probably the red bull effect caused us to chat till nearly 1am. then abdu and yongxin joined us. I probably chatted till about 2.20am?

Anyway, guys are seriously much stronger than girls. That's so unfair. They can be skinnier than us but be much stronger than us. I used 2 hands to battle 1 guy hand during arm wrestle and i still lost. roooaaarrr...

I'm really thankful for the friends around me who never shun me when i'm upset. Sinking into slight depression lately but somehow, i managed to cheer up with nice friends around me. I really appreciate that! At the end of the day, i feel like i can persist through this difficult period of time with you guys around. Maybe i'll have my downs again, but i'll try to be strong =)

Updates!

I'm so tired. I'm practically losing sleep every single day doing all sorts of things. I think my life has been rather fulfilling so far, just that i lack time to make it more fulfilling.

i) watched several movies with different people. Finally finished Saw IV and V with the poddies! I don't have to worry about having no company anymore when watching saw.

ii) having fun with my floormates and doing lots of weird stuff eg. climbing walls. We spend a substantial time during dinner and post-dinner to chit-chat about all sorts of stuff. usually we just end up "playing". Today, we were having fun with korean languages eg. kajima~ bobohejo~ LOL! then i showed off some words i took of jdramas =P Went to abdu's room to write on his London shirt and drew some rubbish. Not forgetting to mention having meals with the old chisholm gang =) they just cook beautifully. when can i reach that standard? I'm still at the edible-only standard.

iii) participated in some chisholm events but not all of course. Went for skippies which is like this drinking thing. You pay 5 bucks to get a cup and 5 drinks (which is a concoct of various alcoholic drinks). Apparently it wasn't that nice. I didn't buy of course, and i ended up playing volleyball with a soccer ball and i enjoyed that a lot. Went for the badminton tryout sessions and loved the free games i got from using the courts. Going for the competition against menzies and glenn tomorrow! Then i joined the eng language class for fun too =P

iv) played ultimate frisbee again! should do it more frequently before the cold weather sets in. It was fun but i hated being defended by sam. He's just this huge wall in front of me. i just feel helpless.

v) enjoying myself attempting different styles of cooking. Cooked in masses and omg... they last me for days =D I've got records of pasta, soba, jap curry, egg soup. Still below normal standards but i shall take some time to practise =) Going to attempt baking cookies one dae!

vi) went for CO again in the city! When i first stepped in, i thought everyone forgot the friendship we once have. after practice, we talked as if we knew each other for years! it was really heartwarming to have such nice people and friends around. YESH! i got to play erhu again! i feel so rusty. Maybe it's me or maybe it's just the instrument. haha!

More personality tests!

Five-question personality test

Here is the analysis:
Your ideal mate has a sense of humor and is lively. (yay!! exactly!)
You always compare yourself with others. You make your wishes too difficult to come true.
No effort, no success. That's your attitudes towards success.
Can a woman be president? You will answer no to this question. (that's not true! im a partial feminist!)
You are emotional, sincere and optimistic.

HAha! ok! i shall not bore people with more personality tests. How interesting... the way people formulate the quizzes. Obviously they are not that accurate. These few days have been relatively tiring for me.
Wed: moved my stuff
Thur: northland after school
Fri: city shopping at many places
Sat: Moomba + shopping
Sun: Moomba + shopping
AHhh...i seriously spent too much to settle down. haha! but i really enjoyed the experience of lugging 20 - 50kgs worth of stuff back to my room. Anyway, the birdman rally was seriously funny! i love the batman guy and his umbrella which probably broke the moment he dropped into water.

I'm so tired now. It's interesting how I can make friends that easily through the virtual world. To stereotype the virtual world's ppl, they are just up to no good. Sometimes, i can just find a few that can click with me and we can eventually become good friends, or chatting partners. It's difficult to know who to trust, and who not to though. Then again, that's how i got to know other people, trustworthy or not. To me, it's an experience and avenue to know new people. To others, it may just be a dangerous fake world. Whatever it is, as long as I don't endanger myself, and as long as i feel happy chatting with them (even if they were faking their responses), im happy =)

Online quiz - knowing myself

Quiz 1

Your view on yourself: You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties. (lol seriously? i do?)

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes. (the first 2 statements are right but the last statement is soo wrong!)

Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship. (yepyep!!)

The seriousness of your love: Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates. (ROFL! thanks... i've 0 dates)

Your views on education: Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can. (yup!)

The right job for you: You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life. (HAHA! that's what i'm doing now, partially)

How do you view success: You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous. (not sure about this...)

What are you most afraid of: You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you. (hmmm....)

Who is your true self: You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
(Hopefully, i don't have that much dilemmas >.<)

Personality test 2

If your birthday is on the 16th day of the month
You always follow the good and the right instead of listening to your heart. Another word, you are a perfectionist. You care for every word people say about you. You often seen isolated while you are, by nature, curious and a dreamer who is ready to get over the edge to make your dream comes true. (hmmz... sounds like me... but then again, i don't think it's that true)

Your Love
You often fall in love with a person who is much different from you, in age and other aspects. Your relationship grows on friendship. Love at first sight is not your style. (this is soooo me!)


Horoscoping

Traditional Taurus Traits
Patient and reliable (dunno leh?)
Warm-hearted and loving (hmmm...rofl!)
Persistent and determined (this is true!)
Placid and security-loving (yepyep, agree!)
Jealous and possessive (this is sooo true!! haha!!)
Resentful and inflexible (resentful ya... but inflexible..hmmz)
Self-indulgent and greedy (im greedy =D)


Friendship

You value your friendships: 70%
You love your friends very much - so much so that it's actually quite a worry. You may not be able to cope very well when you do lose somebody's friendship. You are a very sensitive and fragile person, and are therefore likely to get upset easily. You care for your friends and are willing to do anything that they ask you to do. Sometimes this can make your friends think that you are a bit of a nuisance. Nevertheless, people do really love you because your highest priority is your friends.
(ohh... i didn't know i was this scary. Then again, every statement mentioned in the test, i could really relate it to myself. Hopefully...the nuisance part isn't factual for me. If it is, then i shall accept it then =) )


Another psychological test

You are easy to understand. (really?)
How ambitious you are depends on the height that you answered, which is: Top. (lol!)
You try to please everyone, the size of this personality as seen by others is medium. (lol! i nv knew that!)
Glass means fragile personality. (awww... but i guess yea)
You are also down-to-earth. (i'm practical)
You are an opportunist.
Your best friend is the one you need when you are in trouble. (dear friends, thanks for all the help you've given in my life!)


The Animal Test

Here is the analysis:

A kind of person you will be attracted to in a real life situation is those who are unbridled and free
In the process of courtship, the approach that makes you feel irresistible is being straightforward, and having your partner speak directly.
The impression you'd like to give to your lover is loyal and faithful.
One reason that would make you break up with your partner is his or her being ruthless, cold-blooded or ironic.
The kind of relationship you'd like to build with your partner is one where you can talk about everything and anything. No secrets are kept. (yea manz...)
Would you commit adultery? Society and morality worry you. You wouldn't do anything wrong after marriage.
About marriage, you think marriage is a precious thing. Once you get married, you'll treasure your partner very much.
About love, at this moment, you don't want to be tied by a steady relationship. You just want to flirt. (lol seriously!! wad's this!)

I didn't noe i sounded so interesting.

Finally settled down in my room. I think i just love having lotsa stuff in my room. Maybe it just makes me feel that I'm less deprived.
These few days, i've been keeping myself busy with shopping for lots of necessities. I lacked most stuff last year since my college was a catered one. I was so busy shopping for food items, sauces, and cooking equipment. I just love shopping for these things. I had a weird hobby to start with; touring the supermarket. I think i spent a bomb >.< I can't imagine how many KGs of stuff I've lugged home since thursday. All I know is, I've a bad shoulder-ache now frm carrying all those heavy stuff.

Went Moomba today with jaey early in the morning. We went past Fed Square only to see some Sri Lankans having a silent protest. I didn't exactly see what's going on but apparently, I saw some signboards with "Tamil Eelam". Deja Vu eh? from social studies. I really wanted to try the rides at the carnival. They looked so tempting! Tried a few games at the festival and I won back a husky =) Not a big one though. Jaey got a similar one too =) Mine's called fuzzie and hers is called Scruffy/scruffie however she wanna spell it. weee! then we photowhored with our darlings.

I managed to steal a recipe from amanda; her spring onion pancakes. haha! quite a fulfilling day todae.

Ever since i came melbourne, i never had a good day.
I wonder how i should define...a good day. First i reached Chisholm, only to realise that im not on the check-in list. Eventually i got into my place. There's bound to be some flexibility. Then, I went over to Glenn to visit some old friends, only to realise that i can't access my stored items which were locked in a storeroom of an east unit. It was alright being unable to access my items.

As time passes, and after school has started, more problems came by and i find myself getting more distressed trying to solve all these problems. First, it's about an irritating person which i'm unable to get rid of with my own power. Secondly, until today, im still unable to get my stuff out of that locked room. I wonder whether i should blame myself for that or blame someone else. I had no trouble finding people to move my stuff, but i had real trouble getting that room opened for like 20mins to get my stuff out. I can't start cooking, i can't start living properly without my essentials. Who in the hell is able to survive on a luggage bag full of stuff? It's not like i'm on a tour group. I managed to get by these few days but i can't tolerate any more delays. I wonder if anyone actually understands how distressed i am over this issue. Everyone's busy, but it's not as if im not busy even though i've just started school. I've got my own commitments too. It's tiring to be tied down by other people.

Here comes more work to do. A tutor just confused us with our groupings for various assignments. We've no idea what topics we r choosing for what assignments. It's more distressing now.
