boredddd...that's the one thing that's been on my mind haha sigh it's like the total opposite of examss...TOO BUSY<------??------>TOO BORED...i wish the question marks can be filled with something exciting, well lemme tell you a tale...
The question marks were actually meant to be replaced by N.Z. :( butttt some proffesors are just dodge sighs...long story, but in short, i wanted to pursue a hol research opportunity, it's just volunteer but stilll, anyways, he said "okay, i'll talk to my staff. email me back in early june". i was like, yay, altough it's not a definite yes but it's something, 50/50, so i waited patiently till the 1st of June and replied him promptly. 2 days went past, and my hotmail page is already sick of my face but no repliess, "okay, maybe he's busy, he is a prof after all", i thought, so i waited for a few more dayss, and still no sign. 7 days later, i got tired of waiting and i emailed him asking if i got it, but until today, no replies.
What got me angry wasn't the fact that i didn't get the gig, but rather the prof's unproffesionalism (if that's a word). He shud've just emailed me and tell me straight to my face that i wasn't offered the place.
But then again, maybe his email service failed? maybe someone else pretended to be me? maybe he time-travelled? oh wellss...whatever...I need to remember that God's in control, all the time, even when things seem a lil dim.
I also missed other stuff like Syd Med Interview :((( but that's my bad, my eng just isn't up to date. and i also missed an 18ppl ski trip :((((( but that's coz i had other commitments and it's the right thing to keep it and miss the trip.
but that just leaves me with a blank holiday. like you know how when u buy new paper for printing? and the first piece of paper you pull out from the whole bunch...it's like that, clean, blank...BORING. okay, i'm just raging, i know i should be more thankful for many many things.
I should really enjoy this 'nothingness'. It's something i don't get very often and so i should really cherish it, rather than going against it.
I will try :)
well, today's been a fairly room-bound day. Just been in my room, on my laptop, all day. Actually, i did go jogging in the evening :) it was tiring, oh right...i just realised today that jogging with your arms/hands in your jacket pocket and jogging with your arms/hands out if totally 2 diff things haha on sat i went jogging and it was SO COLD, so i jogged with my arms/hands in my pocket the whole time, but today, it was slightly warmer, so i sorta pulled my hands/arms out from my pocket and jogged normally, you know. buttt, i was so tireddd after! It puzzled me, the reason for my extra tiredness and it hit me, my hands/arms were out today! haha i know it's silly but it really does make a diff! try it yourself! :P
anywhooo, that's my day, boring but free day :]
thanks for reading, ciao!

I just finished Full Metal Alchemist:Brotherhood! It's so amazing!! haha The storyline and characters are just great! check it out if you have loads of free time, actually, even if you're busy, check it out anyways haha it's that gd! Although i did spend a lot of time watching it during prep for my final paper hm...dilemma...just check it out! you'll know what i mean :P
Listening to David Choi's recent album atm, thought i'd get it before i head to his concert.....okay that's a lie, i'm not sure if i'm heading to his concert yet but i wanaa! Hopefully i'll be able to! :]
I'm on roster for backup singing @ church tmr which means early morning, which should mean early nite! but why am i still up? well..dad's coming back to town! :] it's been a while since dad left for msia and it's great to have him back, looking fwd to it! just means that i'll be a zombie tmr haha oh wells :P
I've also got a dumpling partay over @ a friend's too haha dumpling+zombie=? i'll find out tmr :P
Today has been a pretty normal day, just been chilling at home, playing around with audacity, recording stuff is hard :( and to make it even harder, i'm quite noob with the singing and playing haha playing/jamming by myself ot with a bunch of mates is one thing...recording it all is a totally diff thing! recording means you gotta be perfect, or at least sound "perfect" and that's really a pressure point! I guess it's good in a way coz it pushes me to actually play something properly :P All part of the learning process i guess :] Can't wait for the end product! :D
so yeaa...that's basically my day, apart from doing some errands, that's pretty much it :P so i guess i'll stop here aha :P
Have a great one! :]

*yawnsss*
I clicked open the blogger page and i was so tempted to just close it haha i'm sooo sleeeepyyyy beeen so light weight lately, sleepwise of course :P i think my bio-clock has taken a 360 degrees turn and now i'm back to square one, where i'm meant to be at, as in the "ideal" sleepin pattern haha i.e. sleep b4 12am and wake up by 9-10am :P that's been me for the past 2 days, not sure how long that'll last though haha got a feeling that "reality" will kick in real soon :P
anywho, about my day, hm...what did i do...oh right, i woke up @ 10am, as mentioned, and the first thing i did was repairing my guitar! :D not by myself, but i drove down to the new cranbourne store @ blackburn and got someone to have a look at it. The problem was that the jack was "faulty", tried it a couple of months back and it just died BUT when the dudetred it, it was fine haha funny things happen everyday but the in-built tuner's dead though, so that's one thing gone but yeaa, thankfully the jack's functional again (i haven't tried it @ home, but let's hope it's still alive). I also got it re-strung while i was there, got meself some new Elixir strings! :D yipeeee! and and and and!! i got a new pop-filter for my mic! :P now it's complete!! i've spent so much lols but yeaaa i think that's it for now, a basic "complete" beginner/amateur recording equipment set (weird sentence..i know haha ceebs putting it in correct gramar, u know what i mean :P) anywhoo, it's been funs just playing around with it :] hoping to properly record something sooons! wooo hols project :D
AJ's album hasn't arrived yet! argh! although the dude actually gave me the soft copy of the album to "tahan" first haha so i've actualy been listening to it..A LOT haha but yeaa i want the physical CD! sooons i hopeee!
well, i think that's it for today, really tired ZzZzZz

Hello world, it's been a busy day, but i thank God that everything is still in place.
woke up super early todayy to catch X-men and it was totally worth it! (probs the only time you'll hear me say waking up early is worth it :P) but yeaaa, gd film! y'all shud totes check it out!
i'm sooo tired now though haha it was a looong day, after the 2.25 hr long movie, a bunch of us headed to shanghai village on lt.burke for some dumplings, the food was gd as always, but the service was a lil dodge today, oh welllss, as the song goes "you can't always get what you want" :P but yeaa, it was a gd lunch :]
and yeaa, some of us then went to a totally random coffee joint off Elizabeths and it was pretty cools, the drinks were rather nice, thick and flavoursome :D The place also had a tailor and hair saloon built in! believe it or not haha talk about multi-purpose! :P
and then i basically headed home to my "night job" = taking bros to places (okay im exaggerating, it's not as bad as i'm gonna make it sound, but yeaa, just ranting along) haha had to take one of me bros to debating and it's in ivanhoe! and mann that place is soooo crazyyy! (no offence to those who live there haha again, just rantng :P) maybe it's coz i've never been there before, but i was totally panicking! the roads were so out of the norm! thank goodness i had the melway with me! and i managed to find my way home after dropping my bro off. gd experience though :]
anywhoo, that's basically my day in a nutshell :]

anywho, woke up, makan maggi-mee haha shyok! and then nescafe 3-in-1..double SHYOK! haha see i'm so lazy in the morning that i resort to instant coffee, when there's a perfectly nice jar of coffee in the shelf :P gotta love the lazy hols :P wooo!
its Sunday today, which means that my CD should be arriving tmrrr! or tues wooooooo can't waitttt! if only yest wasn't the weekend haha then it wouldn't arrived yest or today mehhh the longer th wait, the better the rewards :D
yest, after utubing for like 3 hrs in the morning, i decided to learn a few new songs but ended up writing a new one haha haven't done that in agesss! :] wrote about a crush 0.o crush u say??? haha yeaa just for kicks la, semi-inspired by J.R.A and D.Choi hehee that took me 3 hrs hehehe but it was fun, my worn out callouses (did i spell that correctly? u know the think skin tha builds up @ ur finger tips after playing string istruments for a while?? i'm sure u sting musos out there know what i'm saying :P) anyways, it was a fun day, and i slept @ 7.30pm haha..failwhale..

YO YO YO! The 4 month drought has finally ended! yaaaataaaaaaaa! (mann too much anime =.=') hehe anyways, i'm so glad that my sem 1 papers have finally finished! I literally couldn't stop smiling (maybe it's coz of the cold too ghaha) but yeaa, it's a great feeling, i'm sure all u students know what i'm talking about.
well, yest (17/6) i came home after lunch and crash! slept @ 4pm, woke up @ 3am the next day hehehe..i should probs explain something first, i've sorta acquired a veryveryvery bad habit of turning nocturnal during assesment periods (exams, midsems etc.)It's a very bad habit because my days are literally turned upside down, like sleeping @ 7am and waking up @ 1-2pm lols. It's that bad!
This started 2nd sem last yr, during the end of sem exams, i slept @ like 5-6am if my memory's serving me well, and woke up @ noon. but this habit sorta evolved into a worse state this sem when it overflowed into my midsems as well. sleeping @ 4am while having a lect @ 8 or 9am is sorta CRAZY! haha which explains my highest rate of wagging this sem o.0' thanks to lectopiaaaa it wasn't too bad hehe..
But yeaaa, my nocturnal-ness has obviously not taken a turn yet, well at least it's not so bad 3am...who am i kidding, its BAD haha hopefully it'll autocorrect today :]
Since waking up @ 3am, been utubing and learnt a new song :D it's "My Time with You" by David Choi & Kina Grannis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmetbTknAUk) it's such a happy song, appropriate to my post-exam day hehe..and then i wong fu-ed and finally watched A.S.S (Agents of Secret Stuff) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMy-6RtoOVU) It's quite lols!
I am so happy! just the thought of not needing to nerd anymore (for 5 weeks at least) makes me go nuts! the gd kind of nuts of course, like almonds? haha (failed joke? :P) anywho, i'm really looking forward to the next 5 weeks, although i was really looking fwd to a volunteer research project @ MelbU but the prof. didn't reply mee in the end, he said to "Email me in early June" and i did, promptly on the 1st of June, but he hasn't replied me yet :( i emailed him again a week later, semi-raging, but still no luck :( oh wells..i guess this means i get the whole 5 weeks off :) which isn't a bad thing :] either way i win! :D this is so rareeee...haha
I'm hoping to do more muso stuff during this break, maybe actually posting a vid? :P
i dno, i'm still too noob to post anything atm haha maybe i'll do one towards the end of the break :) maybeee...haha
I need a haircut too! i just shaved yest haha looked like an ancient monk yest b4 shaving with long long beard!....haha okay fine i lied, i'm a miserable asian who can't grow anything to save my life haha (don't u dare laugh! :P) but yea, tidied up a lil and hopefully i get to cut my hair today or tmr, my overgrown fringe is killing me! =.='
Also, all the hard work i did during the sem, going to the gym, is all lost! :( I ate sooo sooo much during the exam period! like 7 meals a day and most of em are like bad carbs (buns, chips, biscuitsss) sighface! since i stay up till sunrise, and it's so cold @ night, my stomach starts to sing every hr, every 3 hrs at very best, and yeaa...now i'm back to 'that' alv. haha shud go for a run today :D
ohohohoH! alsooooooo! i finally did my first online purchase! :D I bought A.J.'s album! can't wait till it arrivess! it said 4-6 days, and it's been 4 days haha but i don't think they deliver on weekends right? so i guess mons my best bet :D
either way, i can't waittt! :):):)
alright, i think i've blabbered on for quite a while now, should stop :]
that's all for today, have a GREAT day! :]
