beautiful day

its a beautiful day today!!!

Went to class this morning, was so buggered. Should have slept earlier. Spending way too much time on the net researching stupid stuff like streetfighter characters on wikipedia.

Found a mobile phone this morning on the train, and I called the owner's mum and told her what happened. She contacter her daughter who works in Chatswood and I'm going to return her phone to her this afternoon. Honesty does pay!

And yeah, going to service my Sony Ericsson k 700i for the 3rd bloody time later today too. Dodgy joystick in the middle is causing my grief again. So want to go on 3 but I don't think it'll be worth it if I'm not going to be in Syd for the long term.

the countdown begins

Yesterday whilst driving to tuition I plucked out a white hair. It was such a weird shape, it serioulsy looked like a noodle- like one of those long stringy mifen or beehoon strands. So I have one more week to live as a 22 year hold because as of next Tuesday I'll be 23! aargh! haha, lets hope for another great year and less white/grey hairs.

I can't sleep at 9 pm, period

I've noticed that I have a tendency to pour out my most intimate feelings on this blog, and then feel really really embarassed after so I post almost immediately thinking that it will erase my previous post. anyway..

A lot of things happening everywhere. Found out my cousin became a dad like this week which is pretty amazing.

You know when I'm in bed trying to sleep, I come up with all these cool things to blog about, but by the time I wake up, get downstairs and turn on my computer, and start listening to asian music, all my thought disappate and I end up writing crap.

Party Party Party

So I've had a lot of time to think about life, issues and problems over the last 48 hours and I'm kinda enlightened in a sense. Life is more than uni, its more than marks, its more than career. Life can only be enjoyable where there is a balance of everything, a balance of work, play and rest. Its seems such a simple concept, but so often I forget this balance, this natural order to the universe.

anyway I digress, this weekend I've had the opportunity to live life differently to what I normally do. I mean my life is basically uni, class, get depressed after going to lectures and not learning a think, go to church friday night, do readings Saturday and church again on Sunday. Not that I'm complaining about my life per se, but it was cool to have a change of things this weekend.

I forget what my point is, but I somehow have clearer vision of my life, and where I would like to be. I have more perspective on who I am, on what my identity is, what my 'spiritual identity is' ( what Christians would term as 'identity in Christ').

Went to Jimmy's farewell BBQ party tonight. It was a really great party, not the typical kind of party you usually associate with a party, i.e. alochol, puking, dodgyness (experienced that Friday night), but the type which leaves you with a warm feeling inside despite the sad circumstances of it. I seriously can't imagine bluesky without brother Jimmy. The reality hasn't set in yet, but i'm sure it'll have a huge impact. He leaves behind a huge legacy though, and my goal is to emulate his footsteps and follow his character.

My goal is not to be so effected by the thoughts that go through my head. A kind of hyper sensitivity which seriously impedes me from doing so many things.

Its Rinoa

hehe, funny questionaire thingy. Thanks Gene for filling it out. I will be expecting to see other people replicate my effort on their blogs :P

the reality of life

so many people leaving... so sad!!! come back, come back! Woe is me!

Chinese music so soothing

What a day! I think I'm back to being normal, hang on, normal for me anyway...

Anyway, bluesky had a different feel today as the non-presence of Bskiers who have recently left made its presence felt. I used the word 'prescence' twice in the last sentence.

Yeah it was sad, there was no Fel to add her knowledgeable opinions in growth group today. She will be missed :( But as a wise friend told me yesterday, people come and people go, and we have to accept that.

Lol, but growth group was really irreverant, random and funny, all at the same time aHA! I was so lost because I didn't bring either my bible or my books. anyways..

Brother Sam's message was really good today. It spoke loads. Its definitely something to think about, and how I should model my thoughts and behaviour. It was encouraging to say the least.

the chicken has come back

the wild chicken was sun baking in our backgarden this morning. It seems to have found a home at our place. Waiting til it gets a little fatter... hmm.. i can taste the curry chicken already.. hehe

Broke up my usual schedule yesterday by going to K from 8pm to 2am. By the time I got home it was 3.30am. lol, I was supposed to leave at 11pm but circumstances changed.

So I'm back at uni waiting for my lecture to start, shivers its already started! Time to get to class pronto!

Chick flick obsession

Just to clarify things further, the last chick flick I saw was 'Mean Girls' which was last year. So its been nearly a full year since I've seen a soppy, teen romacy flick. I am well and truly over this exploration of my "feminine side" lol. and btw, you spelt feminine wrong gas :P

Oh yeah, and I've resisted watched Hillary Duff in 'Raise your voice'. Waiting for Deez to have a DVD nite as his place :P hahahaha

Yes Jo, I've got that quote stuck in my head too, I'm having a BF as we speak! I'm going to write Gaston a letter...oh no.. not a letter!

Anyway, the most unusual thing happened today. In the morning before uni I found a live chicken in our backyard! It was a nice chicken too, brown and speckled, healthy with plenty of flesh... anyway don't know what happened to the chicken cos I had to leave for uni. Hopefully it'll come back. It'll be kinda cool to have a pet chicken again.

White chicks

Just like to clarify, I was thinking of the movie "white chicks" when I was thinking of shopping, but come to think of it, shopping is kinda white chick kind of activity so I was indirectly thinking about white chicks... anyway I'm not sure whether that made sense and I probably managed to stereotype women at the same time so yeah.. I'll leave it at that.

Damn FSR work, I have no idea how to answer these Market Report questions. Its about the only thing I can think about at the moment.

I'm better now!! Felt really sick sunday afternoon after church and Felicia's farewell. Came back, slept, woke up, ate, and then slept again til Monday morning. Felt much better afterwards.

Listening to Daniel Powter atm. If anyone appreciates slow rock with heaps of rock piano stuff then have a try cos its not bad.

Feeling lazy

Feeling extremely lazy at the moment, all I wanna do is sleep!!!

Winter has made me sick, literally. My nose is been constantly blocked and congested ever since I went swimming last week. :(

Anyway I think its time to rid my woes by... shopping!!! haha I think of white chicks whenever shopping is being mentioned. So hopefully after uni tomorrow I'll head down to the shops and spend money to make me happy, yes, very shallow of me but i think i need a new jacket so I won't get even sicker than I am already.

We had a farewell party today after church to see Felicia off. We got a cake, a signature bear and an autograph book for her which was cool. Sad to see her leave, hopefully she'll go back to s'pore with fond memories of church and blue sky.

Funny little ninja turtle emoticon

I'm so happy looking at this, how come its so happy? I wish I could be as happy as the funny little ninja turle emoticon.


anyway, back to reality, yes. Its the end of another long day. An what an informative day it was too.

I'm doing this subject called Financial Services Regulation which is basically about the regulation of financial services and markets. so yeah, I'm spending a whole semester learning about the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, better known as ASIC. ASIC has been greater powers to regulate the finance industry, i.e. make sure that there are no dodgy corporate dealings in order to prevent huge corporate collapses like Enron, HIH etc.

So our FSR class got to visit a large investment bank in town called Deutsche Bank which is a huge, global, multi-national investment bank in the city. The guy there gave us a huge talk about the bank, what it does etc, which was really informative. The way I see things, this would be like my one and only chance to see what its like to work in such a high class office unless I become a cleaner there or something, anyway... it was a really cushy office, huge LCD screen in the lobby with modern decor chairs and tables, nice...

Even got to see the debt and equity trading floors which was an eye opener. It was weird how all the people looked at us as if we were from Mars, I guess they weren't expecting a whole bunch of uni students rocking up and disturbing their peace late Friday afternoon.

went to 35mm tonight at Raleigh Park in Kensington. Was fun, was cool to be part of 'Ace' team!
