Primary School

I had spoken to a few primary school classmates lately, I mean within these few days. They had a gathering last night. How I wish I could be there.. Haven't seen most of them for years, some even 12 years ago since we left our dearest S.R.J.K (C) Puay Chai. Though I didn't chat with them on a face-to-face basis, but MSN has kept us connected. Hopefully I'll be able to meet up with them when I go home.

Old friends are always the best. I'm saying in a genral point of view, no doubt you'll meet friends in every stage of your life, they just come and go but old friends, be it primary, secondary, college or uni etc etc.. They just make you feel "good" somehow. I don't know how to explain but yea.. just old friend kinda feeling.

I'll end the blog with a pic of "The class of 6H 1993"



Thanks to Alicia for putting this up in her site.

I'm not a DJ

Seems like many people misunderstood what my course actually has to offer. Everyone think I'm gonna be a DJ. I totally understand why they'll think that way because the i did not explain properly and the term "Audio Engineering" might give them that kind of feeling. Just these 2 days,I had to clarify to 3 friends regarding what I'm currently doing.

Just like what I said, I can't be a DJ for life, but if I ever become an audio engineer, people will look for me until the day I step into my grave. *Touch wood* I'm doing everything sound-related, from fundamentals of sound to signal processing, electronics, mics, mixdown & mastering techniques, live sound, digital audio technology, production techniques, film sound etc etc etc.. It'll be a whole full page if I list all out. One thing for sure of is I'm really enjoying because I'd never been so serious about studies in my whole life!

My back is aching now.. I had been studying for almost 3 hours continuously on the same position this afternoon. . Unbelievable.. I couldn't even remember how many times I mentioned "Oh.. I see" whenever I sort out those question marks in my head! I just had to get my arse stick to the chair and I can do it. And I just realised my sound card had a MIDI port! Yeahhhh!!! Now I can go on with my new midi Keyboard without having to get a midi interface! Haha.. Save me quite abit. Didn't even know it was a port until I went behind the CPU and "found" it.. You wouldn't realise it was there until you need it, which indirectly means - OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK AROUND! *Too bad.. my eyes are small..* I'm starting to talk to myself.. I'm tired..

Burpppp!

Just had a super full brunch.. Chicken soup and baked potato with mayo egg..

Happy Birthday, dear!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Daniel.. Happy birthday to you! Just had the most delicious cake.. Went Korean BBQ with him just now and our clothes were smelly. That particular restaurant had exremely bad ventilation system. The day was great, we spent it in peace, no party or anything, just me and him.. Glad that you love the present! It took me quite some time to search globally..

Gotta go Zzzzzz...

SWAT in the City?

Took this pic at the tram stop down the road near my place. At first I thought what the hell SWAT is doing here.. Or does SWAT exist? Never seen one except in the movies. And were told they were filming "Ghost Riders" - ????

Here are some pics that I took on Bourke St last week or sometime ago. Thought it would be great to share.


An old man smoking and playing his antique piano.. He's really good in fact!


She... Erm.. used to be white.. Now she colored herself in orange..

China-Japan Issue

The word "WAR" keeps floating in my mind today. First it was Anzac day today and then it was the Nanjing Massacre that has been the all time issue lately between China and Japan. I couldn't help but to admit that Japanese at that time were insane and cruel or whatever one can think of to describe how inhumane a person could be.

How could one slaughter and kill human they way they did? And yet throughout the years after WWII, they did not make a single apology to China for their barbarian behaviour. YES China was not-very civilise in some ways, but Japan is worse than that. Maybe it was the older generation's fault but they shouldn't be hiding the truth from the younger generation. Who are they to alter history? What make the situation worse now was the Japanese PM still very keen in worshiping their so-called warriors, which indirectly agreed their heroic act. No wonder Japan is still defending themselves over the past 60 years claiming they did no wrongs. Some genius there also claimed that "No such event has happened before." What a joke.

Here are some links of the Massacre.

BLehh... nothing to blog anymore.. Need something to cheer myself up after all these sites! I absorbed bad enegy so easily.. Ciaoz!

T.I.R.E.D

I could still recall those days when I moved in to this current apartment, few straight days I was busy packing and unpacking. I want things to be done in the shortest time possible. On the 3rd day, I finally collapsed which I couldn't even remember when did I fall asleep, haha.

My body has never been so sore and tired since that time last year. Yesterday, me and Dan was helping Mandy to move in to her new home. The interior of the house was so nice and cosy. Wooden & tiled floor, granite kitchen, private backyard, jacuzzi.. etc etc. And yea, I was up at 8.30 so that I can catch the 9.30 tram to Boxhill. Connex service sucks! Train was terminated at Burnley and bus had replaced the rest of the station route! Took me another 30 minutes by the freaking bus!

Anyways, she was late to pick me up too. We did the cleaning and moving all at once! Her whole family including the dog Comet were there. Haha.. For the 12 hours spent in her house, 5 hours had been used to fix the bed!! That was the most complicated bed I even seen in my life! But its worth it because its the result that matters. I love challenges! The rest was the time was cleaning, disinfecting and unpacking her stuff and all.

Though we felt tired, but thats what friends are for..

Violin!

My violin has finally arrived to my doorstep yesterday morning. Those blardee officer in the custom sorta damage my case. Not too serious but my bow couldn't fit in its usual place anymore. Had to admit that Australian quarantine is strict enough but not to the extend to damage other's property. Anyways.... I was glad to still get it in one piece. I can't wait to play when I got it but my D string broke at the right time. Damn it.. I had no idea how on earth to change a string on a violin until today. I'm so proud of myself for doing that!

Mum has been so nice to send me a mini 1.5L slow cooker from National. Hehe.. Can't find it elsewhere in Aus for such a small slow cooker. I don't like using the big one here as its way too heavy and abit dumb to use it if I'm not cooking so much. So yea, thanks Mum!

I AM HAPPY!
For the time being..

PMS

It's the day of the month again.. It wasn't that bad this time. I still managed to go to class this morning. Didn't want to be absent because of that.

During my break, there was this Korean girl came to me and said HI! I was surprised. I'd seen her few time in the tram and in school but didn't spoke to her before because she wasn't in my class. So, yea.. we talked. I understand what she meant by very rare to see Asians in SAE. Haha.. She is actually in the Digital Film class, just started last month. Sung Ji Kim. Nice name.. She even asked me can she say hi to me the next time we meet, of course I said yes!

I wasn't really playing attention after the break as I was a lil tired. Just don't feel GOOD.

Amityville Horror

Thought it would be great day to go dating, yes with Dan.. Hehe.. So I woke him up early, went to yum cha and watched Amityville Horror! This movie really freaked me out. Go watch it!! Sometimes I don't understand why am I paying for something that doesn't benefits me at all. And it will haunt me for several days which then lead to insomnia etc etc.

Mbox

Instead of thinking about problems mentioned in my previous blog, I had been extra hardworking these 2 days. I'd been reading my JMC notes, trying to recall what has been taught. Besides, I finally started flipping on the practical studio techniques book which I received almost a month ago.

Good thing about is I'm serious about what I'm doing, as in I know well that I'm in love with audio engineering now. I even got myself a Mbox. I don't know if this is a wise decision or not but I promise myself that I will make the fullest out of it! I thought it would be great to own one because its never a waste to invest on something like that which will never get out-dated easily and I'll be using it pretty often. I won't have to stay in school for the whole 23 assignments and I can do my own recording at home.

I'm abit homesick now.. The feeling just hit me so sudden. Maybe its a good idea to call home..

Flexibility?

Am I really lack of flexibility? I don't know. Or do I judge everything once and for all? I don't know.

I met up with Lev today after months. I promised my sis to visit them and pass them the present she bought for them long time ago but I just didn't keep my promise to do that. And finally I did it today. What's bonus was I met Alex, one of their friend who happened to be a spiritual artist. Yes a kind of artist who can see your aura and draw out a spiritual portrait of you in his eyes.

He saw me through my aura. He knew my problems although I didn't admit on the spot. I was unhappy about many things. He said I judge things too fast and I'm lack of flexibility and never give myself chances for another try for everything. Well, true.. That's why I wasn't happy! My biggest problem now is to go home or not after my studies. Actually in my mind I knew the answer but due to the fact that I didn't want to disappoint my family espcially my dad, I kept avoiding to think about it or even doubt about my decision sometimes. The thing is if I go back and help my sis with her business (which is what my dad wants), he will be happy and I won't. I'm just trying find a solution where I can please everyone, no one get hurts, everyone's happy! But I guess I can't do it with myself alone.

Maybe I shouldn't avoid this anymore? In order to get everyone happy, I gotta start it from myself then the rest will do. If I'm not happy, they will not be too. I understand what Lev said is I don't live for anyone, I live for myself.. Easy to say but need the guts to do it, even by telling! The problem with me is I don't speak my heart out. Will see how it goes..

No one can judge what is right or wrong. Every moment is an experience.
Listen to you heart, not your mind.

The Sims 2

I still can't believe I was having a zombie-like life for these 3 days!! Thanks to the game - The Sims 2. I'm definitely not a fan of these so-called "time-wasting" game but I had to admit that this game was addictive. On the 8th, I started playing the game in the noon and stayed up till 7am of the 9th without feeling extremely tired. I slept for 6 hours and woke up at 2 to continue till 5am this morning! Went to bed for 6 hours again and woke up at 12pm today..

I only had 2 meals each day which is the breakfast and dinner. I'd been to the same Indian restaurant for dinner this 2 night! Goshhhh.. I was enjoying building my own character, building my own dream house, be with the special someone, etc etc. Basically everything! Anything that you want to dream of in real life, just put it in "real" in the game.

Tamagotchi

Well, I finally sorta know why Miss S said bad things about me. Even her brother and mum said she was jealous at me. She was jealous about them buying things for me, give me presents or being nice to me. Either she make up those stories of me being rude to her or she got the wrong person. Maybe she had mistaken me and Dan's ex-gf.. How insane.. I don't want to look like her! I'm better.. Really..

Anyways, the end of that part. I had been busy these few days. I just got myself a Tamagotchi! Yes I sound like I'm a kid but the new version of tamagotchi is back and better than before! Hehe.. Dad bought me one many years ago but I lost it. Thought it would be great to have one again after years!

Conclusion is..

After the let-it-all-out session yesterday, finally I let Dan know how I felt. But of course I understand how it might affect him too. First, his relationship wasn't good all this while with the sis, so I wouldn't want it to be worsen because of me. Second, I understand his situation by how will he explain to his sis if I throw away her things. Third, I'm much mature than her, so I will not get angry anymore because of this donkey.

Latest news was I heard that she will be coming back anytime before June. At first the mum comes with her, but now the mum is not coming so she decided to stay outside instead of staying in our place. How stupid huh? We didn't actually argue face-to-face before, so I don't understand why she gets so cautious about everything related to me. For now, I will wait till she comes back, take whatever she needs to take back to HK, get rid of everything she left behind, don't make me settle it for her. If she insist of still wanting us to keep her stuff.. Hmm.. what shall I do.. Tell her off? Charge her storage fees? I'm not being demanding, the least I need is a time for how long I will be keeping it? Will know soon..

Happy & Nuts

I received the first phone call of the day from mum this morning. I was about to call her to ask about the first meeting between the Teo and Lian. Yes, my elder brother is getting married!! Yesterday was the first time the parents met. The world is such a small place, my dad and her dad are actually secondary school classmates!! I can't believe coincidence like that happened! Dad even said the reason it took them so long to meet again was because they were meant to be family.. Hehe.. I was so happy about that.. Though I couldn't be there but I wish I could.

Went Seoul Garden for lunch. Miss that place so much after months. Its worth paying abit more for the ambience, great food and good service. We walked past Melbourne Central and went inside the pet shop. I almost got myself a rabbit, light brown in color and small and cute like a hairy ball.. but Dan stopped me from doing that! I was unhappy at first but then later I realised maybe he was right about not having a rabbit at home because of its short life span, not easy to take care etc etc. Even my sis said that. I never think when I saw that thing.. Haha.. But will learn my lesson from it.

Last thing, Miss S. Well, put it this way, she was Dan's sis! I can't believe she's "still" saying bad things about me to the mum. I knew this through Dan. This is not the first time, I heard that many times already. She was the one who shown me her bloody face throughout the whole month when I went to HK in Dec 2003. And now, she's still complaining about the first time we met, about 1 and half year ago. She said I was being very unfriendly and impolite to her. Also, I shown her my black face and being disrespectful when I saw her. I couldn't even remember myself behaving like a jerk like what she said. Well, I did not see or speak to her for more than 1 year already, why is she still doing that?? I decided to not being nice and respectful for this bitch anymore since I was so evil in her freaking mind. I was being too nice for keeping all her things all over my place and under my bed. I'm gonna start throwing, giving it to people who need it or sell it off. I don't wanna be like a fool for keeping her stuff for which I got no idea whether she still want it or not or even coming back here! Even I have loads of space, but I ain't keeping for someone like her.. She really got the power to get on my nerves man.. Not easy..
