I just did a mass production! phew! prepared 9 meals at one shot and that should last me through for the rest of the week together with my chicken burgers or sandwiches. haha but hsemate surpassed me by 1 meal..cooked 10 meals at one shot 2 days ago and now she's "camping" in the library after discovering the brochure in our mailbox today stating that there's gonna be a free shuttle bus back from the lib to our apt at 3am! I was really surprised at this intiative of CS. they didn't have it last time! maybe they're trying to compensate for the slow internet connection that they provide us with but seriously, i would still want a better internet connection that the free bus. haha but at least it's better than nothing. i should really make full use of the lib and the free bus but will have to drag soooo many books and stuff with me that i bet it'll be counterproductive in the end.
On a side note, i'm really missing home :S this whole yr has passed so fast! it felt so surreal to be finishing yr 2 so soon with just exams left! Although it felt like i've only been back or boarded the plane yesterday only but somehow i still feel like i've kinda lost touch with what's happening back in the sunny island and wondering how everyone is doing as well and whatever interesting news there is in the newspapers or media. I should really go check out straits times online but i've lost the password a long time ago :p btw i discovered that they do have the white hokkien mee here! yesterday jeanette help me buy wanton mee then she bought hokkien mee for herself and yes it's the white kind! didn't know that chom chom do sell the spore kind of cooking style! i've been seeing the black kind everywhere but not the white one. k that shall be the 1st that i'm going to eat which i can get it for just 3 bucks somemore :p
"In the arms of an Angel fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel
may you find some comfort here "
angel pls fly me back home then and i won't have to sit through exams also! hmm as if that's going to happen heez guess I'm just trying to deceive myself. It's just 10 mins to 8pm and the sky's still so bright! It felt so weird to turn my clock forward by an hr 2 days ago because of daylight saving .. from 3am to 4am. an hr just vanished before my eyes without me doing anything within that hr! but in fact, i didn't lose that hr coz i gained an extra hr at the beginning of the yr. nonetheless, the realisation still dawned upon me: time just doesn't wait for you.
Bloke
I'm a Bloke
by Chris FranklinI hate the new age guys
I'm a chauvinist
I live on beer and pies
Tried to tell you,
But you look at me,
like maybe I'm an angel underneath
Haven't brushed me teeth.
Yesterday I lied
But all me mates gave me a real good alibi
Thanks guys
I really went out drinking,
I told you I was at work
Don't ask me for commitment,
'Cause it's something I will shirk
I'm a bloke,
I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers
I'm a labourer by day,
I piss up all me pay
Watching footy on TV
Just feed me more VB
Just pour my beer,
And get my smokes,
And go away
Or take me as I am
This may mean you'll have to fetch another can
Rest assured,
That if I start to make you breakfast
I'm going to extremes
but tomorrow I'll get shitfaced,
and today won't mean a thing
I'm a bloke
I'm a yobbo,
and me best mate's name is Robbo
Winfield is me cigarrete
I dress in flanellette
Shearer's singlet that is blue
Throw in a few tattoos,
You know you wouldn't
Want me any other way
When you think
You've got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool
When I act like a tool
And my mates try to shave me
I'm a bloke,
I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers
I'm a labourer by day,
I piss up all me pay
Watching footy on TV
Just feed me more VB
Just pour my beer,
And get my smokes,
And go away
I'm a bloke,
I'm a yobbo,
and me best mate's name is Robbo
Winfield is me cigarrete
I dress in flanellette
Shearer's singlet that is blue
Throw in a few tattoos,
You know you wouldn't

heard this song in the bus during the camping trip and everyone was laughing like crazy cozthe lyrics are so funny and so aussie! :P its tune is definitely not the soulful or melodious type but so melancholic and monotonous that together with the lyrics, the whole song sounds really amusing! sighz i can't seem to focus now so went to search for its lyrics to try to entertain myself. started downloading the song 4 days ago and it has only progressed 20% till now!! hmmm shall switch on my engine mode full blast now and hope that it can sustain me for a few more hours :}
Pardon me for it's gonna be all rambling here..in an attempt to outsource >.< This is sooooooooooo sucky...!!!!! Can't believe my luck!! 6 papers in 7 days!!! And that I can be so lucky to have been allocated the mon prac exam day! When it's like almost everyone will get tested after the tue's paper and some even till the next wk !! Why can't they allocate the days more evenly and fairly to end of the week or even next week?? Had this examiner last sem who wasn't even our level prac tutor and he disagreed with the methods that I used which was what I was taught and bet he'd penalised me heavily. Now I've got such a "terrific" day. Plus this freaking assign to write now which is so vague and due next wk. it's really irritating when they give assign during this period of time when the sem's ending in just 1 more wk!?! This is really frustrating! feeling horrible now.. Sigh. Hopefully this time round I'll get a better examiner though and that I can survive through all this. Not just survive but hopefully surviving to be the fittest =.=
Spray Paint Art
Saw this street artiste performing spray paint art along Collins st ~2/3 wks ago & it had definitely fascinated me. The artwork is sooo pretty! Can't believe that such intricate painting can be done with spray paint!! Usually, people will associate spray paint with all those graffiti done on the walls in the streets. There's many graffiti done on all those public property in the city as well as in suburbs. But I never knew that it can be used to do painting on a blank piece of canvas! Overheard this woman asking the friend of the spray paint artiste why they decide to do it on the streets. He replied that instead of doing it in their studio, they wanted to show the public how they go about doing it and to promote their art to more people. If they were to simply display their painting in some art studio or gallery, bet no one would have believed that it's painted out of spray paint and all the hard work behind in creating them. In a way, it's a rather dangerous form of art too, imagine the nasty smell of spray paint the artist has to endure and the harmful substances inhaled which I believe are to a large extent carcinogenic. Although he had this inhaler mask for protection, think he's putting his health at risk still. But really admire his passion, talent and courage to be doing such a public demostration of what he believes in :)*applause*
A guy among the audience had bought their artwork as shown above instantaneously which I think was done previously in their studio.
some of his painting equipment: strips of paper and cans and rings to create the layering effect and various shapes
an almost done piece of work; love the way how he used just some delicate strokes and techniques to create the flowing water effect and those reflection on the waters!
fire was used to dry the paint!
someone had reserved it long before the paintwork was finished
Yay! finally my internet quota is renewed again!! Realised that our quota was left with just 30MB when we came back from camping. Once we logged in, it was just gone in a flash. Hopefully our quota can sustain us till the last day this time round haha. Have been wanting to catch "The Secret" movie using online streaming though! Looks like may have to find another opportunity again.
Monday blues. I don't want to start school yet! Can't believe my hols are gone so fast. Gosh completely no work accomplished at all =.= It's a packed yet fun-filled hols with gains :) BUT losses as well :S I'm reminded of my painful loss again. Ouch..... My "narcissistic" camera is gone now and there's a tram fine notice to bpay for :( The cam that has accompanied me to aus and travelled with me and captured my many many memories. Full of sentimental values defnitely. Although I've to admit that besides the fact that it can be turned to allow a nice take of self-portrait, its other functions are not very desirable. Somehow the colour and contrast of the photos are rather soft and blurred. This empty feeling kept lingering inside me whenever going from one attraction to another without it in my hands. Ahhhhh.
Sigh feeling so tired now. Shall make a move to cuddle under my warm quilt Zzzz...
