Man, it's been a month since the last journal. I've got to stop doing this. And I probably will. Stop deviantART-ing, I mean. My subscription's about to end, so I doubt I'll be on here much after that, especially since I've gotten all used to the "Deviations" page. Heh. I doubt I'll like the non-subscription one much. Urgh. But I'll try. No guarantees, but I'll try. I haven't been submitting much work either, sorry about that. I've just been so involved in music at the moment that there's just not enough time to write. Heh. But, hey, at least I'm loving the life I've got now! Absolutely enjoying every second of it!

So yes, I just thought this might be a "farewell" in a way? I'll still put work up here if I do write something worth putting up. But other than that, don't expect me around much. Especially not with commenting deviations. I apologise in advance for that. I will get around to it if I'm free, but yea... don't hold me to my words. Heh.

I still love everyone though!

I'm sorry if you guys thought I disappeared. DeviantArt just wasn't working on my laptop or iMac for like two weeks or something. So yea, I've mostly finished commenting on deviations and journals and replying to comments so yay for me!

And yes! I've got an iMac! Finally managed to get my dad to pay for it first, and yea, I'm paying him back in instalments. I'm absolutely in love with the keyboard now. Can't stop typing on it. And it looks so pretty! Ok, enough about it. Heh.

So now that I've got my new computer that doesn't lag up every couple of seconds, I'm going to do more with my keyboard (yes, I got a keyboard, don't think I've mentioned that), and hopefully I'll be making some music. Hm. Wish me luck! I've always wanted to do this... but just never got around to doing it. Heh.

I've been looking into lots and lots of new bands lately. Got about 7 gigs lined up to go to from 22 March to 8 May. It's going to be a hell lot of fun! But yea, I probably do need to save up too. Ah well.

So what's everyone else been up to? I apologise for not submitting much, but lately my mind's just been drifting. It's not really made up of words, these thoughts. And yea, words no longer have that much meaning for me, if that even makes any sense. But music music music. Mm.

Know what?

Life... is great.

He appeared in #Wolfyness a couple of days ago, and I didn't really start talking to him till yesterday. Awesome mate (yes, he's Australian!

), and bloody awesome gallery. Not only does he excel at traditional art, but also digital vector pieces. What's more, he's doing Sound Engineering at university, something I once wanted to do. Heh. So yes, introducing Mr. Multi-Talented.

Give him some love.

~l0stwhispers Time for a fucking update! http://l0stwhispers.deviantart.com/journal/16733640/ http://l0stwhispers.deviantart.com/journal/16733640/ Tue, 05 Feb 2008 04:39:37 PST

1) Got a KEYBOARD! Roland PCR-800. Not the best, but it'll do for now till I've earned enough for a Kurzweil K2600.

2) Lots of fucking amazing gigs coming up! Dream Theater was just over (fucking awesome... got to stand right in front of John Petrucci in the first row), and then Explosions in the Sky (with Eluvium!) is up next, and then Okkervil River, and The Matches. And then... Coheed & Cambria!! And THEN Porcupine Tree!!!!! Can't fucking wait...

3) Rhys and I are back together again, all's good.

4) I'm starting to get used to this new place. Still freaks me out every now and then, but I'm fine. And some roaches appear every now and then, but we've got a bug spray so I usually whip it out when I see one. Have a huge battle with the roach, and then usually win. Heh.

5) Work's been going good. Getting more hours than I thought I'd be, although the travel time is absolutely horrid. I need to travel 3 hours (by public transport) to and fro just for 2 hours of work. Meh. But it's worth it.

6) I've got fucking pink jeans. Beat that!

7) Been trying to write more again. Trying is the keyword in that sentence. Thanks to all of you who're still reading my work.

Means a whole lot to me.

That's about it, I guess. Off to bed so I can get up at 8am for work tomorrow. Yawn. Just had a 3 day break, and then I'll probably have work for the next 9 days.

I know it's been a very long time since I've updated. I've still been replying to comments and all, just not bothering to update my journal. Mostly because I've kind of withdrawn from the deviantart community. Don't think many people would even bother to read this. And to those very few people, I thank you deeply.

It's the holidays now, and I'm back in Singapore for a month. It's been quite alright. Been catching up with old friends and all, more than on my last trip back to tell the truth. And it's been rather pleasant, really. I've been really enjoying all the catching up talk and gossiping. Heh.

I slashed my way through the exams one by one before getting to this much needed break. Didn't get results that I was too satisfied with, but they'll do till next semester. At least I'll learn to work harder. Hm.

Other than that, not much else has been happening. I doubt I'll update before Christmas or New Year's again, so I'll just wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Oh, and just in case you were wondering about the title, I'm sick now. Taking meds at the moment which are making me oh-so-drowsy. Grmbl. Not very happy about that, but hey, if it makes me better, why not? I just don't feel all that awesome when I've arranged to meet up with friends though. Almost like I'm not actually there. Ah well. It'll pass, I'm sure.

It's amazing how one year of university has so quickly gone past. I have never in my life experienced something so... "relaxing" before. Secondary school was an absolute chore to get through, mainly because I was having "friends" problem and stuff. And then, junior college rolled by. Now that was just life-draining, mainly because of schoolwork and shit. But, yea, university has just whizzed past. Scares me sometimes, especially when I think I'm going to be a "second year" next year, instead of a "fresher". Meh.

Exams are coming up in a month. I think I should be able to nail them, probably not Criminology though since I haven't been going for my tutorials (they aren't compulsory!

). And by "nail", I don't mean hammering it all the way in so it fits perfectly and doesn't let anything go loose. I just mean... well, hitting it once or twice on the head so it holds things there, but not too perfectly. Oh fuck it, I mean I'll be able to deal with the exams. I have never been one of those "OMGEXAMSSHITSAVEMEIMDYING!" kind of person. And yea, I absolutely love that about myself. Heh. Kind of irritates me a lot when people start going "OMGEXAMSSHITSAVEMEIMDYING!".

People who've been around me and do that before exams will know how I react to it. I usually ask them to piss off, or well no, that would be a lie. Usually I piss off. Heh.

Not much has been happening, really, not in my perspective. I've been taking lots of notice about the little itsy-est things. Like the small itsy flowers in the grass strip before my college, little itsy strange beads left on the toilet floor.

And yea, the itsy leaves on the trees which are ever so green. I swear I have never seen anything so green in my life. But, that's probably just because I've lived all my life in a "tropical" city. And I have no clue what that was supposed to mean.

As you (or those of you who have been reading my works) can see, I've been having weird sleeping patterns lately. And nope, it hasn't ceased. I went to bed at 12 last night and woke up at 6.50am this morning. No fucking clue why. I didn't even have anything on today. Pisses me off, but hey, at least I got to finish watching The IT Crowd Series 2.0 on Youtube.

I must say though, it wasn't as good as the first series. It was too predictable after a bit. Ah well. I still love Moss.

And before I go, just some shameless promoting of Stephanie Dosen's music. She's a pretty new artist I think, from the US. She was here in Melbourne a week ago, but I only discovered her a day after she left. Bloody hell. Pissed me off quite a bit. Amazing voice, go listen to her on her myspace page if you like indie stuff: Stephanie Dosen

Toodles then!

I finally got a job! It's been going on for about... 3 days? And I've known it for like... a week? But yea, I was just too bloody lazy to journal about it. Sorry guys. So anyway, about this job:

1) Make fairy floss
2) Sell fairy floss
3) Hate fairy floss

Yea, that's about all I do. Heh. And no, if your mummy told you fairy floss is yummy, it isn't! It's sugar, sugar, sugar. And it's awfully painful to make. Just imagine strands of sugar whipping at your bare arms for 4 hours straight. Not fun indeed. And when you accidentally put your hand too near the spinning thing in the middle, it feels like you're about to lose your finger. I thought I was going to actually bleed once, but didn't, thank goodness. Blood would've make the fairy floss very red indeed.

And fairy floss flying all over you, getting stuck in your hair and eyelashes and up your nose, isn't exactly fun. It's disgusting and icky.

So that's my rant about fairy floss. I think it's irritating the skin around my eyes and mouth as well for some odd reason. Urgh. Got to see the doctor about it. I'm sick too, cough and shit, so yea, I'll have to see the doctor anyway.

Lessons of the day: Don't buy fairy floss. And if you do, buy just one bag. It isn't fun for the fairy floss lady when you go "8 bags of fairy floss please!" and there's a bloody long queue behind you and it's fucking hot and windy and everything's just chaotic. Not fun.

Ok, with fairy floss aside, I've got another job! Appointment setter for an education centre. It's basically like a call centre thing. You call people, give them an offer (in my case, a complimentary evaluation of your child's Mathematics ability), and make them set an appointment with your people. So yea, I think it sounds pretty alright, like the offer actually sounds good. It's free and it's beneficial for your children. People who are not going to get that should just kill their children and themselves.

And furthermore, the program we're using is developed by the Australian Institute of Mathematics. How can that not be viable? Heh. But ah well, I know I'll be shouted at and screamed at and shit, but hm, I think I'll handle it. I think.

The training starts today and I'm oh-so-nervous. I haven't really memorised the script I've been given. I just kind of remembered the important points and stuff, so hopefully there'll be no screwups. Heh.

Edit
Job is gone. The person-in-charge said I wasn't up to it.

And well yea, I agree with her. I'm not really the kind who speaks much, much less on the phone. Heh. So ah well. Back on the job hunt. Urgh!
/Edit

Oh, and on another note, Rhys and I are no longer together. No questions please, no sympathy, just skip to the next paragraph and forget this because I don't want to keep going "Oh, that's alright, I'm fine now." or "No, don't be sorry, it ain't your fault!". Ta.

And guess what?! I've got my Muse ticket! Woo! I got a pretty good seat too! Hah! The section I got is sold out, but I got the ticket on eBay, so yup.

Hooray for me! Hehe. And I only got it for 100 bucks. The cost price was 94, postage was about 6. Go figure!

I guess that's about it for now. Till whenever, peeps!

My University Progress: 3 out of 4 essays done (Yay!)

Well, what have I been up to? Hm.

Rhys and I managed to get 2 tickets to a gig on 15 September and a CD for only $25. The band members were marketing their stuff on the streets and we just happened to pass them by. The drummer guy came up and was like "Would you like to listen to our stuff? Here's the deal." Their music is pretty good, lots of strings and nice sound. And they recorded it themselves. So yep, have a listen to A Sound Mind if you have the time!

September holidays are nearly here! And I absolutely can't wait for it! Most of it will be consisted of movies, clinging onto Rhys (yes, the poor dear... he doesn't know that yet), more movies, and maybe some reading of university stuff because I haven't been catching up on my reading much. Heh.

Phantom of the Opera was on Tuesday, and it was awesome! Anthony Warlow was amazing, and yea, just the whole thing was mindblowing. Got myself a poster and a mug with an image of the mask which only turns white when there's hot water in the mug. And they only cost me 25 bucks.

My beloved *bestgreenknight is going back to uni tomorrow! Yay! Go give him some love and encouragement! Hehehe.

I've submitted a couple of short stories and poems, but the comments have been really little, so if you have the time, could you please take a look at them? Constructive criticism would be very much appreciated!

Still looking for a bloody job.

Okay, I am so sorry for the lack of updates. Everything's just been running away from me at the moment and I'm too busy catching up to do much on DeviantArt. So yes. Finally back. I've been commenting on deviations and replying to comments and stuff, so don't bring the chopper down on me too hard.

I had 3 whole days without Internet during the weekend, and it was horrible. Absolutely icky. I must say, it did fry my brain a bit. Heh. But it's back now. Yay! Just how long it'll stay on for, I've absolutely no clue.

So updates. Well erm...

Current things going on in my life now:
1) Money money money. I'm finding a job, haven't found one, in desperate need of one. And yea. I've got a job interview tomorrow, so wish me luck!
2) Firefly. As in the TV series Firefly, not the actual fireflies. Heh. Absolutely crazy over it. I just watched Serenity the other day, and it totally hyped me up. Had trouble getting to bed after that. But fucking awesome.

3) Been researching for my Sociology essay but found out yesterday that what I was doing was fucking wrong. So now I've got to redo it. Very pissed, but ah well.
4) Medley Ball's next week, that's my college ball. Theme is 1920s fashion. So fuck that. It was pretty difficult thinking up of something, but thankfully I can improvise a dress I already have into one that would fit the theme. Heh. Hopefully it'll turn out into something good.
5) Been looking for a place for next year with my best friends. There're a couple we're looking at this week, so fingers crossed. Heh.

That's about it I guess.

Not much, still the same old me. I don't think I'll be submitting much stuff soon. I've got some stuff written for my Creative Writing class, but that's about it unfortunately. I've been squeezed dry. Urgh.

Ah well, I've got to go now. Toodles!

Been coughing excessively for the past two days. It started out with dry coughs yesterday, and then, today the phlegm appeared. Pfft. It's horrible. And it just had to happen on the 2 days of the week where I've got full days at university. Urgh.

Other than that, things've been going fine. Been hanging out lots with Rhys, no clue why. It's almost like after I got back from Singapore, I've been spending almost every day with him. Out of the past week, there were only 2 days I think, that I didn't see him.

As much as I like it, I wouldn't call it entirely good because I've still got university stuff to do, so yea. Ah well, at least I almost finished the readings for this week. Blame it on the illness that I haven't. Heh.

Creative Writing tutorials have been a real joy to go to. This morning's one was amazing. We sat down at South Lawn, and just watched people going past and writing the quirky things we saw. It was interesting, and relaxing. It was a tad cold, a tad uncomfortable, but it was still fun. Mm.

Architecture in Helsinki was amazing. Mm. Y.A.C.H.T. was their support act, and he's just hmm.... a really funky dancer. Lol. I wouldn't call him good, but yea, funkeh. Hehe.

Headache's coming back, but I've still got 2 more hours of university to go through. Urgh. Wish me luck. At least tomorrow I'll only have 3 hours. Mm.

Chaotic weekend ahead. I've got tons to do, mainly because I've spent the last two whole days with Rhys, since he's been moving into his new place and all.

But yea, other than that, I'm awesome! Tried to have a drinking session with my friends last night at Medley, but everyone was too tired to continue after the third glass, except for Sarah of course. So now I've got half a bottle of Vanilla Galliano and half a bottle of Butterscotch Cream left in my room. Heh. We'll continue it some other time I guess. Ah well.

I'm going to see Architecture in Helsinki at JB Hifi in a bit, in-store appearance. Then, tonight, I'm going to their new album release party! And guess what?! Rhys got me their new album, signed!

As a birthday present. Hehe.

My friends at Medley got me the movie Magnolia (I don't think I've heard of it, but Asi and Marion say it's something that I would like, so yay!). Goes on for 3 hours though.

Hm. Hehe. And bright blue sparkly eye shadow. Mm. Hehe.

Oh and yes, I've finished Harry Potter! Yay! Or no yay, really. Hm. Cos now there'll be nothing to look forward to except the icky movies. I sure hope the next one won't suck like the fifth one did.

So yepyep, got to go get ready to scoot to JB now. Toodles!

I can't WAIT!

I'm itching to get on the plane. Just the thought of seeing Asi, Marion and Sarah again. And Rhys, of course! Hehe. Whee!

Well, the last few days have been pretty alright. I hung out with my cousins on Thursday, and it was amazing. Was the most fun I'd had with them in quite awhile.

And we were just reminiscing about stuff from our childhood, always a fun thing to do. Heh.

So yep, that's about it. I'll be back to pretty crappy Internet, so I won't be able to get into dAmn anymore.

I'll probably be pretty busy for the next couple of days, unpacking and shit. Wish me luck with the start of the new semester!

http://l0stwhispers.deviantart.com/journal/13739971/ Sun, 15 Jul 2007 02:33:44 PDT

I watched 4 movies in the course of 24 hours. Not in one go, but yea, it was still pretty intense. Heh.

1) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (3/5 stars)
My least favourite of the five Harry Potter movies around. There just wasn't enough suspense as in the other four, which really made it pretty boring for me. Effects were as good as usual, but I just thought Daniel's acting was not that... engaging. He didn't bring out the whiny boy Harry Potter was depicted as in the book, he was more boring, I think. But I thought the actresses who were Professor Umbridge and Luna Lovegood were awesome. They really did their parts well.

2) 2046 (4.5/5 stars)
Amazing, beautiful story about a man who writes about a science-fiction story for a woman where this Japanese man is on a train to 2046 where people go to remember their lost memories. But, in the end, he finds himself to be the one in the story, to be the Japanese man. Everything seems to be in slow motion, and yet you don't have enough time to figure things out. Zhang Ziyi's in it.

And that makes it so much more watchable. Heh.

3) 200 Pounds of Beauty (3.5/5stars)
Your typical ugly-woman-turns-beautiful story. This really fat girl undergoes plastic surgery so that she can get closer to the man she loves, turns into this beautiful woman, but in the end loses her true self. Very cliche, but nevertheless, it's just one of those stories which are easy to understand and easy to relate to.

4) Paprika (4/5 stars)
I've been watching quite a number of Satoshi Kon's movies/anime. Tokyo Godfathers, Paranoia Agent, and now Paprika. And I've come to a conclusion. The guy's amazing. Freakishly amazing. Heh. Like what a friend's friend said, "everything Satoshi Kon touches will turn into a good anime". 'Tis true indeed. Heh. Awesome animation and storyline, truly unique I must say, as most anime movies are. It seems almost like something Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, etc.) would write, just a little more chained down to reality.

So yea, that's it. In the span of 24 hours, I watched an English movie, then a Chinese/Cantonese/Japanese movie, a Korean one, and then a Japanese one.

Man, why haven't I picked Jap and Korean up yet?

Heh.

And as you can see, I am bored. I'm going to watch Harry Potter again tomorrow, because I'd already promised a friend. Definitely not looking forward to it.

Wish me luck in not falling asleep and wasting my money.

Entertain me.

Just needed to get that previous journal out of the front page. Everything's more or less fine now, so that's good. Still got some shit bothering me, but that's private stuff.

Thanks to all those who read the previous journal and commented.

It's good to know I've such awesome friends on DeviantArt.

Went on a little shopping trip today and bought quite a number of stuff, so I'm pretty satisfied with the "shopping" in my life right now. Mm. Got myself a new wallet because my old one's falling apart. A Pierre Cardin wallet at 50 bucks. Good bargain. Heh.

Right then, off to stare out the window again.

1) I thought I would be able to hang out with my friends, watch movies, and just have fun with them.
But everytime I try to arrange something, no one's available. Just tried arranging a Harry Potter movie outing. 2 are Christians and they don't watch it, fine, reasonable. One of my best friend's already agreed to watch it with her secondary schoolmates. And silly me, thought we were going to watch it together from the beginning, like ever since the release date was announced and shit. Another best friend said it's pointless to watch it without anybody (yea, I'm nobody really). And said her secondary school friends are pretty keen on watching it so she'll check with them and get back to me. Yea, thanks for making me second priority.

2) I thought I'd be able to have a fun time with my family.
My mom nags at me all the time, telling me to do this and that. And I've been living by myself for the past 5 months, I've gotten used to doing things by myself at my own time. Now, upon returning, she's forcing me to do it her ways. I mean like yea, house chores I understand. But my own leisure time? The time when I just want to go online and have a nice little chat with my friends, no! I spend too much time on the computer, why can't I communicate with my family more?

3) I thought I'd be able to have a nice time with my extended family.
First thing every aunt and uncle has asked me: Have you gotten skinnier or fatter? Fuck you. I don't really fucking care. Everyone's trying to get their own lunch with me, saying the same things over and over again. Yea, that was expected, but then trying to force Christianity on me again. Nice try the last time, don't you dare fucking try it again.

4) I thought it would be nice to take a little break from Melbourne's freezing weather.
Singapore's so much worse. It's fucking hot, and sticky, and just plain icky. I can't wait to get back to the dryness of Melbourne. How I can shower just once a day and not be sticky at all, unlike in Singapore when I shower twice a day and I still feel like I need a million more showers.

So seriously, why the FUCK am I here in this bloody hell hole?

Thank you, all of you, for the 12,000 pageviews! It does mean a whole lot to me.

It's hot. Been burning the past few days.

I went back to school and had a really really good chat with all of my teachers. All, indeed. It was surprising, since it was a pretty busy period. But, it was nice, just talking to them, not as a student, but as a "friend" maybe.

I finally ate dim sum, something I've been missing for ages. Australia has dim sims, which is totally different and disgusting. Absolutely hate them.

I watched Transformers. I remembered the first time I saw its trailer before POTC3, and I was just "Wtf?! No way am I watching that!". It's a good thing I decided to take back my words and go ahead and watch it. Awesome film.

I met up with Claire, a very good friend from secondary school. It was nice, just getting together with her again, although she made me wait close to 45 minutes for her.

Damned bus.

And I finally watched Finding Neverland and War of the Worlds. Both are amazing films. Now, I just need to find a good proper video rental shop so I can get the rest of the movies I've been yearning to watch. The Truman Show, for one.

So, I've come up with a mental block. I need to write a story for this competition, but I honestly haven't been feeling like writing, so I've been putting it off because I don't really want to ruin it. I know what I can write about, but... the need to write just isn't there. I'm going to wait a couple more days before I start I think. Probably next week, when I'm more free. Mm.

A task for you guys: Throw me a random word. Random as in anything. Word as in a proper word, not something you created.

Today was pretty horrid.

It started out really bad. My mom didn't give me anything, and even asked me for money.

I mean, yes, she knew it was my birthday and all, but she just didn't have anything for me. How nice.

And then, I had to take the bus to the restaurant with my sister instead of being able to take a car. The heat was close to unbearable, I swear. I've no clue how I was able to live in Singapore for 18 years.

The lunch was pretty alright, I had a pretty alright time with my cousins. Not as fun as it could've been, but still fun enough, I guess. We got a little bored near the end and took some really really lame photos. Heh.

We then went shopping. I wasn't really in the mood for shopping, being so full and sleepy and stuff. I'd only gotten about 7 hours of sleep (yes, that's not enough for me) the night before. So I was just following the rest around. I just wanted to rent a movie and go back home to watch it though. Quiet, relaxing. Just the thing I needed.

We finally got back home, and Rhys decided to fall asleep in the middle of our conversation. Psh. I know I'm boring, but meh, that's just rude. Hmph. So I was left just idling around the net instead. And when the little boy finally gets up and is ready for some audio chat, my mom decides to clean the house and chases me out of the room, into the living room where I have absolutely no privacy. Not that I have any in my room anyway.

Seriously, I can't wait to get back to Melbourne where I can have all the fucking privacy in the world. And Rhys of course.

Bloody hell.

Not a nice birthday. Not at all I had in mind.

Oh, and did I mention dA decided to be a bitch too? Hm. I hope the CSS works now.

Saturday was a pretty alright day. It was fucking hot, and I had to attend this funfair because my cousin was participating in it. And I was just perspiring all over. Even felt light-headed near to the end and had to find a seat.

Like fast-snap-fast. Or I would probably have passed out or something. Trust me, been there, done that. Heh.

But then, it got gradually better. I finally went swimming!

Although I didn't really have anyone to swim with, because my cousin had her boyfriend with her, and mine was a million miles away. Still is.

So... my other relatives came over, and we did some karaoke-ing and billiard-ing. Billiard-ing was hilarious. My sister just seriously sucks at it. As do I, but she sucks more.

Photos are on Facebook, so yep. Shuffle over there if you want to see more of me.

Sunday was my cousin's wedding day. I'm not all that close to him, but hm.

It was pretty cool. He walked into the reception singing into a microphone with his electric guitar, and then when he'd finished his song, the bride, who seriously looked like Ayumi Hamasaki, entered singing her song. They're lovely singers. And then, they boogied on the dance floor and yea, it was just really funky. Heh.

Lots of photos again on Facebook. So yep.

It's my birthday today!

Hasn't started out all that good though.

Evelyn

P.S. My dad is lame.

Mom (on the phone): Hey June!
Dad: It's already July, not June.

Presents I've gotten so far:
1) A lovely diary from Asi
2) A pink shirt from my uncle and his family
3) Some money from relatives
4) A nice little scenario from Rhys
5) An online banner thing from Tony
6) A cold from Singapore
*Note there's nothing from my family.

DeviantArt is being a fucking twat, and not uploading my journal properly. Yes, this day is starting to sound like fucking shit at the moment. Bloody fucking hell.

1) Singapore's TV sitcoms are horrible. THe storylines (especially the Chinese ones) are rip-offs of Korean dramas. And they just keep repeating the same old situations again. It's boring, fucking cliche, and just... plain stupid. And the acting is horrid as well. They bring so many new actors into the scene with competitions (also made into shows) and yea, it's just... so annoying. They have too many of these competiting shows and an excessive influx of new actors which are supposedly "good". But seriously, they aren't. Corny, corny, corny.

2) Conor, the pianist and lead singer in Pistolita, is leaving the band. I got addicted to the band because of Conor, and now that he's leaving, I'm pretty devastated. Urgh.

He's moving to Austin, Texas, so I guess it's not entirely his fault. But, I really really do hope he'll continue his music-making because he seriously has a talent.

3) Avril Lavigne came on on a talk show I was watching today (yes, I've been extremely bored). And she sang one song, I can't remember the name of the song but most of the lyrics was "Hey you, can I be your girlfriend?" or something. And it was seriously horrible shit. There was a time when I was a pretty big fan of her. Well, it kind of escalated from hating her because she was all popular, to actually liking her music, to hating her again. It's stayed as "hate" for a few years now. I hate it how some artists just deteriorate so much after gaining fame.

4) Googling is not allowed in Trivia, bitches.

That's about all the rants I can remember now. It's still fucking hot.

One good thing I found out today is that Dream Theater is probably going to Australia in early 2008! So my dream might just come true!

I'm probably not going to be around much during the weekend.

Oh, and a slight reminder...

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY ON MONDAY!

Slight.

~l0stwhispers First Day Out http://l0stwhispers.deviantart.com/journal/13521472/ http://l0stwhispers.deviantart.com/journal/13521472/ Thu, 28 Jun 2007 06:11:43 PDT

I went out today with some friends. It was awesome fun.

Just two things which kind of spoilt my day:

1) As I was getting on the bus, I was just about to tap my card on the machine (to pay for the ride), and suddenly, out of nowhere, this old lady lunges in front of me, steps on my leg and presses her bag against the machine. She then proceeded to stare at me with a "What the hell do you think you're doing? So rude!" look.

I mean, gee, if I'd seen her, I would've let her go first. She didn't have to step on my leg and stare at me. Psh.

2) I was on my way home on the train, and standing because it was pretty crowded. I was wearing a really baggy shirt (the kind which hangs off your shoulder) and really short white shorts. I couldn't find anything else to wear, seriously. So, I was just minding my own business, listening to Dream Theater on my iPod and staring into the mirror at my own boring reflection, when I catch a woman sitting before me shaking her head slightly. Initially, I thought she was just shaking her head and mumbling to herself because her mouth was twitching a little. It took me awhile to realise she was actually shaking her head at me. I caught her staring me up and down. Like, gee, I know you don't have a nice body to wear these nice clothes on. It's a free country. I can wear what I want. Bitch.

That was about it. That was about all that dulled my day.

My friends are such awesome people. I've forgotten how much I can crap with them. Although my two best friends weren't there, it was still fun.

The four of us just kind of sat around, catching up in Starbucks, then left and bummed around Takashimaya and Wisma Atria, two of many shopping centres in the city, for a bit. Heh.

I've got some photos. They're here.

I got my hair permed yesterday, so yep! Hehe.

Going out with my best friend, Sruj, tomorrow. Yay! Can't wait!

~l0stwhispers Back in Singapore http://l0stwhispers.deviantart.com/journal/13496420/ http://l0stwhispers.deviantart.com/journal/13496420/ Tue, 26 Jun 2007 09:08:12 PDT

I'm back in Singapore.

I'm seriously melting from the heat. I stepped out of the airport and was immediately met with this huge wave of hot water vapour. And for the first time in ages, I perspired.

O lordy. Not a nice feeling, I must say. I've been feeling all sticky ever since I got out of the airport. Argh! What have I gotten myself into?!

Anyway, the flight went pretty smoothly. It was my first time flying alone. And it was actually a pleasant experience. Hm.

It's much better travelling without parents to bug you to do this and that and stuff.

There were lots of in-flight movies, and unlike Singapore Airlines, Qantas actually allows you to select when you want to play your movie and stuff. I don't know about SQ (Singapore Airlines), because the last time I flew it, I had to wait till the movie finished to actually watch it. Hm. Ah well. So yea, it was good. I watched Breach, then Bridge to Terabithia, and then Music and Lyrics, and then some Little Britain and some Chaser's War on Everything. Heh. The movies really disappointed me. I expected quite a lot from Breach and Bridge to Terabithia, but both were pretty dull. Ah well.

Well, enough about movies, I'm back in Singapore. It's good to be back where someone does almost everything for me. And it's awesome seeing my little dog again. I swear she shrunk.

And I swear my dad shrunk too.

Hm.

Well, enough about that. I'm getting quite a headache. Hm. Probably going to do my hair tomorrow, get it permed and coloured again. Heh.

Heading to bed soon.

Well, I've moved out of Medley and into Rhys's place till Tuesday, when I'll be moving back home for a month.

Upon thinking of it, I'm not all that enthusiastic about going home anymore. One of my best friends will be away on holiday in India till 8th July, and another good friend of mine who I usually go clubbing with is having camps every week I'm back home. So I'll only get to hang out with him on the weekends, and we all know entrance to clubs on the weekends is fucking expensive. And my other best friend is one who... just doesn't go out much. So yep.

It's looking pretty dull. But hey, at least I'll get to come online. Those of you who've already catched a glimpse of me in #Wolfyness and #Trivia will know that I'm already on the move.

Heh. If I disappear suddenly, it's because Rhys is more important than you guys.

I love Melbourne. I don't want to leave it for a month, even though I'm freezing my toes off during winter. Still acclimatizing. 1% completed. Heh.

And more importantly, I don't want to leave Rhys for a month.

That's a whole fucking month (well, minus 4 days) wasted. Ah well.

But the flight's booked, and yep... I've got to go on with it. Ah well.

Guess this'll be my last entry before I head on to Singapore. Hm. Going to watch a couple of horror movies with Rhys tonight.

I'm a weakling. Help. Wish me luck in getting sleep tonight/morning.

Don't ever try writing a 6-pages long essay in the middle of winter.

My fingers are aching from the cold now. Seriously aching, like rheumatism aching. Still in the process of thawing them. Meh.

But...

IT'S OVER!

No more exams, no more studying, not for a whole month! Yes!

I am happy.

But then again...

Marion's gone.

And Rhys has work tonight, so I'll be spending the night alone. Which truly sucks.

Ah well. I've got Civilization and movies to keep me company. I should survive.

I am so cold. Hold me.

I'm feeling really weird right now. I feel tired physically tired, but I'm mentally not, so I don't feel like sleeping but then again, my body's begging for me to go to bed. And too many things've happened today. I didn't fully wake up for one because I was lazing in bed for too long. And then, when things started happening, they started happening all at once, which kind of left me a little dazed.

But I'll be alright, I think, after a night of rest. Hm.

Yesterday morning, there was a shooting in Melbourne CBD which is pretty near to where I live. The gunman's still on the loose, one man's dead, the other two shot are in critical condition. There were helicopters flying in and out of the city, got a photo of one while I was up on the roof. I had to pass through the city about an hour or so after the shooting had happened, so I was pretty nervous. Call me a worrywart, whatever. It's always good to be safe and on guard.

And then, I received some awful awful news from a friend. It wasn't related to me directly, but the pain he felt still does bug me. I hope everything'll be alright for him. It kind of shook me a little.

But, on a lighter note, Gemma (=ChungaMunga) and Tom (`budgieishere) came to visit today! Only for a short while though, unfortunately. They seem like awesome people, I didn't have the time to get to know them better, but yea, I wouldn't mind meeting up with them again.

I watched a couple of movies with Rhys last night and this afternoon.
1) Citizen Kane - Pretty boring and really draggy, but I guess it does has something to it which makes it good. I can't really pinpoint it, but yea.
2) Monty Python's The Meaning of Life - Hilarious.

3) Star Wars IV: A New Hope - Yes, this is the first time I'm actually watching Star Wars. Mock me.
4) Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back - Pretty good, I must say. Watching it with a huge Star Wars fan makes it better too, because Rhys pointed out things I'd never have noticed.

So yea... pretty long movie watching.

Maybe that made my mind a tad warped. Hm.

Oh, another good thing that's happened! I managed to get Mew's Frengers album from Rhys and my Pistolita album Oliver Under the Moon arrived today from the US!

So yep... awesome awesome music for me for the next few days. Heh.

I need sleep. But, no I don't.

I favved some of this guy's deviations awhile back but didn't watch him, but they've recently started popping up in my Random Favourites, so I decided to take another look at his gallery. And voila! Look where it has landed me. Or him, for that matter. It appears he's pretty multi-talented, with amazing deviations in almost every category. His writing is quirky, while his digital paintings are both natural and mechanical. No artist like this should go unseen.

I went out yesterday morning, into my first proper day of winter. It was foggy all over, and a skyscraper nearby was fading into the sky, it was amazing. Yes, bear in mind that I come from a country with only one season. Or two, sunny and rainy. So this was indeed an unusual sight for me. We talked air dragons as Asi and I wandered through the city on a little shopping trip. I wish I'd brought my camera with me. But nope, I was enjoying it all too much to want to go back and retrieve it, so sorry guys. No photos of beautiful wintery Melbourne. I might do it when it gets all fogged up again.

I managed to get Dream Theater's Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory for only 13 bucks, which is a really really good deal, I must say. Train of Thought was going for 10 bucks, probably still is, but Metropolis had more of an appeal to me. Lots of nostalgic, slow songs in this one.

So yesterday was party night, well kind of. Except I just had to ruin it again. I am such a cheap drunk. Urgh. That's all I'm going to say for now. And no, no photos from last night because everything was too incriminating.

Oh, and if you haven't seen The IT Crowd, please do. It's by the makers of Black Books. The goth in it is so hot. And sexy. Absolutely love his voice.

Hilarious stuff.

Not me, but my friends. I've still got a week and a little, which really sucks. Because from Saturday on, it'll just be Marion and me, without Sarah and Asi.

I want to pack up too, join in the fun of trying to stuff everything into my cupboard. And just having a plain bare room which I can start over with again when I get back. Hm. I'm such a weird person. But then again, I'm having second thoughts of leaving. Especially since Rhys won't be able to use the Internet much anymore. I just hope everything'll turn out alright.

Asi'll be heading off home tomorrow night, but before that, we're going to try to make her smashed. Heh. Imagine a really drunk girl waiting at the bus station with her oversized luggages. Yep, that'll be her. And then, Sarah'll be following the next day. Marion'll be leaving on Thursday, and then I'll have till Tuesday on my own.

I can't wait till tomorrow. Going to JB Hifi to find Mew's Frengers album (or the other one), then going to try to get drunk without puking in the night. Mm. Sounds like fun.

Study for Criminology is going pretty well at the moment, so yay!

There was a journal entry I read on "Today" (yes, I visit it a lot due to this disease called boredom). It was about committing suicide. And I just find it interesting why someone would want to do it and announce it to all her friends at the same time. I mean, most cases I know of are like secretive and I-don't-want-anyone-to-know. So this one really made me wonder. Ah well. I just wish people weren't clever enough to think of killing themselves. Hm. I hope the girl decides against it and sees another option.

Somehow, I feel lucky because I just can't see the sense in doing it. I don't want to, and no matter how hard I try, I just can't. Maybe it's because I haven't experienced any life-changing events yet, but yea... in all my 18 years, I haven't seen a need to inflict harm on myself. And I feel so lucky for that. I wish everyone could be like that. Wish everyone could see how life isn't always so bad. But ah well, everyone has their own views and their own thoughts and decisions.

P.S. This is just a small request from me. You can choose to ignore it. Check out =Razarelie's gallery. He was once an excellent photographer, still is, except he's been without a camera ever since he moved down to Melbourne. His birthday's nearing, next Saturday to be exact, so if you like and admire his work and feel he should continue his photography, please donate to his fund. It would mean a lot to him. And me.

Or well, at least for the next month and a half.

The exam was relatively easy, I guess. Hopefully I'll get a good grade. Cross your fingers for me!

I am enjoying Dream Theater's new album Systematic Chaos so far. It is awesome. I just finished watching the making of the whole album, very interesting and it has some pretty funny parts too. Musicians going crazy with their music.

I wish I could play like Jordan Rudess.

Kurtweil K2600 is a keyboard he uses, and I so want one like that. It's awesome, had all the gadgets and funky thingamagicks. And yea... I just want a keyboard where I can mess around with, not some piano where the sound's always fixed. I was in a club back in high school called IT Music. And man, that was fun. Just conjuring up funkeh sounds from a normal keyboard. Mm. Good old times.

Ok, on to listening to more of the album. Toodles!

Evelyn

P.S. Oh, listen to Mew, if you're into progressive rock. My favourite so far is She Spider. Mm. Awesome stuff. Might go check in JB for their album and if the price is reasonable, I might get Frengers. Yum.

I'm just finishing the last raspberry shortcake biscuit of the pack.

They're so yummy.

Anyway, things are more or less settled so I'm more or less happy, except for the fact that I had to spend the night in this small icky room again. Psh.

I finally ordered Pistolita's Oliver Under the Moon album from the U.S. Yes, JB Hifi didn't have it (my favourite music store), and [link] didn't have it either.

But hey, it costs only AUD$12, so I'm pretty sure it's worth it.

Can't wait till it gets here!

Hopefully my Dream Theater Systematic Chaos Special Edition album will get here today, since it was dispatched from the warehouse on Friday afternoon.

Psh. We had a long weekend because it's the Queen's birthday, so yea. Grmbl. No postal service.

Yes! It has arrived! Yay! I'm listening to it now.

Well, the exam's tomorrow, so I'm pretty much screwed. Ok, no, not really. I'm pretty sure I'll pass this one, but I'm not too sure about the Criminology one next week. Tomorrow's thing is just a multiple choice question thingy, while the Crim exam is a 3 essays thing.

And we all know I suck at essays, or at least I do. Urgh. Not looking forward to it.

I gave Rhys his birthday present last night. It's way in advance, but I couldn't keep it any longer.
I hope you like it.

I favved some of this guy's deviations awhile back but didn't watch him, but they've recently started popping up in my Random Favourites, so I decided to take another look at his gallery. And voila! Look where it has landed me. Or him, for that matter. It appears he's pretty multi-talented, with amazing deviations in almost every category. His writing is quirky, while his digital paintings are both natural and mechanical. No artist like this should go unseen.

I had a call from Mitra, my best friend in Singapore, today. And it was awesome just listening to her again. I haven't heard her since I left Singapore in February. So it was a great relief to know she was still the same, and yea, it was just comforting to listen to a familiar voice again.

So that kept me happy for a little while.

Things have been working out and not working out for the past few days. I've been trying to sort it out, but I haven't really been given a chance to. So yea, if I seem a little out of sorts at the moment, please pardon me.

These spaces of time when I just can't seem to focus on anything really annoys me. I just sit before the laptop, refreshing dA, hoping I've got new messages and stuff. I know I'm supposed to be studying and all, but I honestly don't have the mind for it at the moment. And things in my mind are just really meddled up right now. I wish I could talk about it with someone, but I can't because I can't sort my thoughts out myself.

I'll tune back in when I'm feeling better.

Ever had one of those moments where you feel all down and stuff, and someone accidentally reacts in a way which makes you feel absolutely horrible? And then, after getting all uptight and crazy, you realise it's nothing? And you start thinking you're such a dickhead and laugh about it all?

Having one of those moments now. Psh.

Talk about overreaction. Talk about hormones. -rolls eyes- Heh.

Anyway, go read *frzdragon's journal here if you need a pick-me-up or just some humour. It's hilarious. Didn't want to post it here because it's too long.

Yes, I don't like long journals on my frontpage for some absurd reason.

I just want to set this straight. I write a journal, because I fucking want to.

And another to get straight would be the point that I can write whatever the fuck I want to write in my journal.

So if you don't like what I'm journalling about, then don't fucking read it.

I know you guys are probably going to hate me for doing this, but really, I have to do it. Rhys'll probably kill me if I don't. No, kidding. I just need to do this.

Bands to Check Out:

Pistolita
They're more indie rock. Conor, the lead singer, is an excellent keyboardist and the keys just add so much more depth and meaning to the sound. Amazing stuff. My favourite off the Pistolita Myspace page would be Beni Accident, and Swings has to be my favourite off Conor's. They've got an EP out and a debut album Oliver Under the Moon. Trust me, they're worth listening to.
Pistolita and Conor

The Faint
They have elements of strings and electronica stuff all mixed into one. Rather unique sound, I must say. I've got their album Wet From Birth, and it's really amazing. They've got a video for Agenda Suicide and it's one of those "must-watch" things, or so I think. But yea, pay them a visit on Myspace. It'll be worth it.
The Faint and the video for Agenda Suicide

Iconcrash
Ambience rock perhaps? I heard of them from =SorrowBurn, and yea, we're finding it pretty difficult to get hold of their stuff. I've been looking all over the net for their latest album Nude, but I can't seem to find it (either that or it's way too expensive). But, just go listen to them at their site.
Iconcrash

The Matches
I saw these guys live in Melbourne, and they were awesome. The lead singer's the quirkiest person ever and their drummer is the most boring dude. It's amazing how they come up with the most interesting and catchy songs, and still manage to jump around the stage like no one's business. Punk rock, I might say. But everything, really.
The Matches and Shawn's (lead singer) blog and a hilarious video of them busting a move.

Fair to Midland
Rhys just got their EP a few days ago, and he's already pre-ordered their upcoming album. They've got a very interesting sound, I must say. I haven't listened to them much yet, but from what I heard on Myspace, I was pretty drawn in. I might ask Rhys to write a short one for them.
Fair to Midland

Bryan Scary and the Shredding Tears *************
DA BOMB! Or rather, DA MEGA FUNK! The exact words Rhys said are "it's like the lovechild of The Beatles and Queen". And he's totally right. The tunes are way catchy, and you just won't be able to stop listening to them. His new album was just out. Grab it as soon as you can. I swear, it's one of the best things I've ever heard. The piano, the mixing of the sounds, the lyrics. Awesome awesome stuff.
Bryan Scary

So that's it. As you can see, I get most of my music stuff from Rhys. Mhm. Right now, I'm just really really hooked on Pistolita. Mm. I couldn't find their album in JB Hifi though.

So I might have to order it online. Which means spending more money. Argh!

Go check them out, even if you just listen to one song.

Pistolita. Listen to them on Myspace.

I am absolutely in love with the song Beni Accident. Mm. Might have to pop into JB Hifi again sometime soon. Yes, again, lordy, I've been in there twice in a week already. Geez. Someone stop me.

And I've added a "Bands to Check Out" section down there somewhere, in case you haven't noticed.

I am very bored.

I just got Bryan Scary's album The Shredding Tears, Bjork's new album Volta and Fair to Midland's EP The Drawn and Quartered off Rhys.

I'm listening to Bryan Scary now and it's rocking my socks off so far. Josh, a neighbour, even came in and asked me what I was listening to and then proceeded to ask me to burn it onto a CD for him. Hehe. Asi's going to get it from me once she gives me her thumbdrive. So yep. Spreading the word.

Today was... interesting, I must say. Nice, sweet and everything fluffy. Don't know where it's going though.

Happenstances of the day:

I was watching Muse's Uno music video for the first time (yes, this stemmed from my boredom from studying). Uno's become one of my favourite songs by Muse. The number of the door that the video kind of focused on for a bit, was 111. That's the number on my door.

Just as the video stopped, Muse's song on my phone came on because I'd just received a message from Rhys. It was right at that second. No pausing.

Go figure.

There's this fucking fly in my room which I can't seem to get rid of. I've tried swatting it with my Psych notes and squishing it with a tissue, but no! It just won't go away! It even landed on Rhys's photo on my wall once. How rude!

[edit]Fly is gone. Yay![/edit]

The end.

Yep, I'm down with the flu and the cough. The cough's killing me in the day when I try to study while the flu's killing me at night when I try to sleep. It's seriously irritating. I just started taking this medicine I found in my cabinet this morning. I've used it before, a couple of months ago. Hm. No effects yet, if it does, it's only made this thing worse. Urgh.

And I'm sick of studying for Psychology. Lateral geniculate nucleus, occipital lobe, medial nuclei... argh! Bloody hell.

I feel like my head's about to explode.

It's not fun at all. I know exams aren't supposed to be fun, but yea.

I don't like this.

I've got to go back to studying. Fuck.

Oh and I had lamb souvlaki for dinner tonight. Urgh. Horrible. I'll probably be feeling all hungry again by 11pm. Damn. I hate how it's been these past few days. I feel all hungry when it's not mealtime, and then, when it's mealtime, I feel so bloated I get a little sick.

Excuse these rants.

Well, since my birthday's in a month and a day (yes, I couldn't wait for another day to make it "a month"), I thought I'd put a wishlist up, not that I expect any presents which cost money from any of you here. Ah well. Hasn't happened in the past few years, probably won't happen this year. But, hey, a surprise would be nice. And any deviations would be really lovely too.

So yea, I made up a wishlist on Amazon.com (yes, I was fucking bored again). And voila! It's up on my shoutboard.

Other good news: I've finished my 2 essays now!

So I've only got to start studying for the 2 exams I've got left. Urgh. Fun fun *Please note sarcasm*.

If you haven't checked out Within Temptation, go listen to them on Myspace. They're like Evanescence, just better.

I finally took an actual study break. For the whole of this week (well, the four days that have been this week), I've been just taking little breaks, going online, hitting the refresh button a million times on DeviantArt, and Facebook, bugging my friends and shit. Little little breaks which didn't give me much satisfaction. What I needed was a big break, which I could have fun in.

And today I had it. Bummed around the city with Rhys, went into all my favourite CD stores, well store, really. JB Hi-Fi. Rhys found Fair to Midland's EP, and got it. I didn't get anything because I was out of money unfortunately. Heh. But then again, I'm saving up for Dream Theater's Systematic Chaos. I've pre-ordered it on JB's website. The Special Edition for only AUD$30, which is seriously a bargain. So yes, very happy with it. I'm just waiting for it now. Yay!

So we had lunch at this horrible Chinese restaurant we went to the last time. I swear it hates me, or rather the staff do. The chef, maybe.

But it was good all in all. I had fun. So much fun I didn't want to come back home. But ah well, Rhys had to go in the end, so yea. I'm back home now. Meh. And the essay staring back at me. Psh.

But...

Chocolate fondue with my mates first!

P.S. I can't stop listening to Muse's Showbiz album. No clue why. Argh!

This has been going on for the whole of the semester, and probably will continue to the end of the year.

When I first got into Medley, I kind of looked around at the names on my neighbours' doors. There were 2 people with pretty Asian names. One was obviously Jap, while the other was kind of Greek.

The Greek eventually became one of my best friends, and the Jap became one of my most hated. Exactly the opposite I'd expected it to be. Yes, I do think Japs are pretty interesting people. This one turned out to be too interesting. :S

I know I shouldn't be bitching about this, but last night really freaked me out.

Here are a few things he does:

1) He joins in conversations he's not supposed to be in (especially ones I have with Sarah and Asi, since we're more or less his "immediate" neighbours), and just doesn't seem to make any sense at all. Last night, Sarah was blocking my way in the corridor so I couldn't get to my room, and I was just "How long do you think you'll last this way?" and he came out of his room and went "Don't know... don't know."
2) He walks weirdly.
3) He fucking talks to himself. In the toilet. "Get up, get up." Who the hell does that?
4) He chants stuff and tries to hypnotise people. Or at least that's what Sarah and I think. I was in my room last night, with my door open, and I could hear him singing in this weird language. I don't think it was English, although Asi (the Greek) thinks it is. But hell yeah, it was weird. And it was pretty loud.
5) He greets people with "Hello, how are you?" every time without fail. Even when you're brushing your teeth.
6) He pretend-plays the piano. He just sits on the piano bench and pretends he's so absorbed in the silent music he's producing. And I think that happens after dinner every night or something.
7) He squeaks. There was once Asi was in my room and we were just talking late at night, and we heard a really high-pitched "Hello..." Asi looked outside and there was no one but his door was open. And then, a while later, he popped his head in and said a normal hello, and laughed. :S

So yea, for all those of you who asked "How do you define creepy?" That's creepy for me.

I was talking to Rhys last night/this morning, and he made me realise something.

This is regarding the last poll, about whether my latest poems were getting more trashy. And yea, I guess I've just been trying to change so much, trying to be different from what I was, after the whole breakup thing and all, that I haven't really been writing for you guys. I was writing more for me, and yet, I was asking for feedback from you guys. And that's just wrong, because that's two very different audience.

So yes, I'm sorry to the people who have had to deal with my stuff. I promise it'll get better from up here. If you think my poems after this journal is still shitty, please note me or comment or something.

And yes, I am someone who writes for people, instead of for myself, if that makes any sense. I live on the comments I get, the attention people give to my work. Like I always say, I'm weird that way.

The bloody SuperSearch thing I usually use for research isn't working. And it's really really pissing me off, since I don't have much time to finish this essay. Nyargh!

So, maybe StarBar, or otherwise known as Meat Market, wasn't such a good idea afterall.

We headed there pretty early because we heard from friends that the queue was going to be pretty long. Obviously not.

So we ended up having to wait for about an hour and a half before it actually started picking up. We weren't the only ones though. There were 2 other guys just sitting around near us. But they looked pretty old so psh. We had our drinks. I had about 4, Sarah had round 6. So it was just enough to make me lose my mind a little.

Oh, one thing though, the bartender was pretty cute.

So, the night started picking up. We, as in Asi, Marion, Sarah and me, headed down to the dancefloor after "circulating" the room. Heh. Asi wasn't in the mood for dancing, so she held my coat for me.

Then, this guy joined us. He was pretty nice, I guess, but looked pretty old. Or well, someone old who wants to look young.

If you get what I mean.

But yea, he was nice, and he offered to buy us beer, but I didn't want any, nor did Marion or Asi, and so Sarah joined the gang and said no too. Heh. He bought us a bottle of water instead.

(We later found out that it cost about $4.60 and was about only 250ml or something. Double

)

Well, unfortunately, I had to go to the loo (again... heh) and he kind of wandered off because he wasn't there when we got back. Ah well. A band came on, and they were pretty good, I must say.

This other guy came up and started dancing pretty full-on with Sarah and me. Full-on as in full-on.

I tried subtly pushing him away, and somehow did manage to get away. So yea. Then, he proceeded to dropping his glass on the floor. My right foot got cut up pretty badly, but I didn't realise that till we headed to the loo. There was one pretty wide gash and another smaller one. Both were pretty much bleeding non-stop. I think it took about 15 minutes or so to actually stop it. And even after Marion'd wrapped the bandage over my entire leg, it still hadn't stopped bleeding, I think. Nyargh! It was horrible.

There so much blood. Meh. So I limped back out, missed a couple of really good songs while we were in the loo. Bloody hell. We sat down for a bit, tried to elevate my leg without flashing anything. Heh.

Marion didn't really want to sit around and do anything, so I tried going back to the dance floor. It was pretty alright, I just didn't put much pressure on the right foot, so yea, I still managed to "boogie" without moving my feet.

Saw the first guy again, who did something like a binoculars thing with his hand and flashed the thumbs-up sign. I waved back and smiled, but he was with friends I think. So we left it at that. The second guy tried coming back.

I tried explaining to him over the loud music how his dropping of glass was a bad move, but he didn't seem to understand. So I flashed him the thumbs-down sign instead. And he was looking all hurt and shit, so I shook my head again, and he finally got the point. Dickhead.

So yea, we finally got back to Medley at about 2am I think. It was a pretty alright night all in all, besides the foot thing.

Not much cute guys for me, no footy hunks for Sarah though. -sighs-

I've got a coat!

Well, 2 coats, to be more exact. Hehe. And the total cost for them was $70. Which is very bloody cheap, in my opinion. So yea, I'm happy.

We went down to Queen Vic Market today (on supposedly another "study break"). Heh. Asi, Marion and I each had specific things to shop for, and in a way, all of us got what we were looking for, so that was good.

Internet's being a bitch again, so I couldn't research online for my Sociology essay. Bloody hell. I've resorted to reading my Criminology reader for my last tutorial tomorrow. Heh. Hopefully it'll be better tomorrow or something.

If you haven't listened to Dream Theater's "The Spirit Carries On", please do. On Youtube or wherever. It's amazing, I swear.

9 more days till Systematic Chaos!

I've got their special edition album cover as my desktop and I

it. Heh.

P.S. Going to the "Meat Market" tonight.

Hehe, can't wait!

Yep, caught POTC 3 this afternoon. It was pretty good, I must say. There was a lot going on, so that got rather confusing at some bits. Ah well. But the effects and the action was really good. So was the humour of course, although that didn't start till near the middle of the movie, which was weird. But then again, Jack Sparrow didn't appear till it was near the middle so meh. Heh.

I

Jack Sparrow.

And, I just watched Skeleton Key with Asi and Sarah in Sarah's room. Yes, we've been watching movies every single night since Tuesday, I think. Man, I need to start doing some hardcore studying. But then again, I managed to get my main points down for my Anthropology essay today, so that's good. I just need to increase my 1500 words to 2500 words now. Oh yay, how fun. Meh.

Alrighties, I should probably go to sleep soon. Hm. G'night!

Hm. On second thoughts, I might try to squeeze out another poem before I head to bed. I've got this line I saw on Medley's tutor's door for the whole day. And yea, need to get it out of my head. Psh.

Yep. This is another procrastination entry. How fun.

Did a revamp of my clubs. Just realised how many of them were inactive. Psh. Ah well. So yea, those below are what I've got left, which is pretty pathetic. O well, not that I participate much any longer. Heh.

I handed in my Take-Home Test thing for Sociology today, so yay! I can wash my hands off that.

I'm just working on my Anthropology one right now, then it's another Sociology essay, then I'll study for Psych, and then study for Crim. Meh.

I want to go home now.

So many things are repetitions in life. Hm.

Just different people, different points of view, different time.

It's interesting, really interesting.

And yet, one never learns. Ah well.

I was angry last night, pretty pissed because I kind of found something out. But then, I thought, why waste time on it? So I went off to watch Cruel Intentions with my buds and that made the night much better.

I've got some photos up on my blog.

Internet was being nice last night/this morning.

Ok, I'm going to take a nap now, getting a splitting headache. Bloody essays. But well, at least it's close to finishing. Yay!

Oh, and the test went alright. I remembered everything I'd set out to memorise the night before, so that was good.

First time I'd had to memorise anything in a long while. Since last year, I think.

Excerpt from Mike Portnoy's article on Amazon

Mike Portnoy is the drummer of Dream Theater, and yea, just one very awesome guy. Hehe.

Pink Floyd, The Wall (1979). Pink Floyd, like The Beatles, are one of my favourite bands of all time, and like The Beatles, it's hard to really pick one, but if you held a gun to my head I think The Wall would be the one just because I'm a sucker for 'more is more' and over the top production and The Wall's surely that a double album and a concept album, it was just a huge mammoth piece of music, which eventually translated to an incredible film as well. At this point Roger Waters had taken over the band and was running the show, but this album was obviously an extension of his genius; if you listen to the new My Chemcial Romance album you can hear that it's all directly ripping everything off from The Wall, so it is still felt thirty years later.

Last but not least would be Muse's Absolution (2003) album. This album reminds me a lot of OK Computer, it's one of those albums where every song is strong, every song is a little bit of a sonic masterpiece on its own; the production is groundbreaking. This is the album that I kind of wish that Radiohead would of followed up OK Computer with. Muse have obviously now become this huge band, but when I first heard this album I'd never heard of them, no one around me was listening to them, they weren't very popular, very much an underground band. It's got amazing anthems like "Time Is Running Out" and "Hysteria", those are huge songs, but then something like "Song For Absolution" is totally heart-wrenching, perfect songwriting; and something like "Stockholm Syndrome" shows that they are not all about Radiohead and Queen influences, something like "Stockholm Syndrome" could have been a Megadeth song; it's that variety of styles that makes the album so classic for me.

Go Muse!!!!!!!!!!!

Got pretty pissed last night with my best buds. Took lots of photos, so I might change my ID in a bit.

It was fun. Just being able to let go and all. And the bartender at Il Duce, this really cozy little bar, was pretty hot. So double yum. We downed 4 rounds of drinks in about an hour. Hm. And Sarah decided to have a little plop-down on the floor on our way back home. Hilarious stuff. Hehe.

So yea, basically the birthday celebration for Asi was pretty much a success. The decoration of her room and the treasure hunt went well. We even managed to get her something from Club X (an adult complex), so yea.

Hehe.

And now, back to studying. Urgh. I've got two tests tomorrow. Help?

DT's new album Systematic Chaos is going to be out on 5th June! Yay! I can't wait!

Nope, I didn't pre-order it because I'm hoping JB Hifi will have it cheaper. Probably not, but ah well. It'll probably get sold out too. Damn. Should I preorder it? Ack...

Anyway, I bought Score for 15 bucks. Way cheap. It's a 2-disc DVD set with nearly 3 hours of live music.

Oh yum. I'm up to about 2 hours now. Whee! And there're bonus materials too. So yea... it's so worth it.

DT.

I wish they'd come to Australia.

If there was one thing I really want to do in life, it would be to see DT live. Oh yea...

I've passed my Learning Permit test. 100%.

Now, I just have to pay for 120 driving lessons, with each one costing about AUD$30. Right.

I've paid for an air ticket back to Singapore on the 26th June, instead of 3rd July. So I'll be back for my cousin's birthday, my other cousin's wedding and my own birthday! Problem is... it cost my parents about SGD$2000.

Oops?

This cough is seriously pissing me off. I feel like my throat's exploding everytime I cough. Urgh. I've booked a doctor's appointment on Monday afternoon. Hope I'll live till then eh?

Erm yes, in case some of you still have no clue what this is, it's a car thing.

So yea... I'm frantically trying out the practice questions right now.

Wish me luck! Hehe.

And hm, I just realised how much time I've got left to do my essays and study for my exams and tests.

Realization would be: Not much.

Kind of panicking about the whole situation at the moment, but then again, panicking is good. Because I'll actually get started on things. And get moving. And yea. Hopefully finish things on time.

I met up with Rhys today.

All I can say is bittersweet.

Mhm.

And Michel Gondry's The Science of Sleep is gorgeous. Amazingly gorgeous. Everyone has to watch it.

For Melbourne peeps, it's showing at Cinema Nova in Carlton for only $5.50 if you go on Mondays before 4pm. So yep. It's cheap and very very very worth it. Cinema's a tad small, but you'll get a good seat if you go in early.

Yep, it is. It's tiny. And it's the water kind, the old eeky kind which doesn't radiate much heat unless you're touching it or a couple of centimetres from it.

That explains why I'm so bloody cold all the time.

I came across this group in Facebook, "I don't smoke. There are cooler ways to die." via =daw294.

No, it is not dissing smokers and all. So please do not take offence to it.

And there was a topic in it which said "You learned you are gonna die tomorrow night" (pardon the incorrect grammar and shit, not my doing). I read through a couple of replies and saw this one post which said something along the lines of "tell the guy I like that I like him".

Yes, this is in regard to my poll.

I voted to "keep mum".

And these are my thoughts:

If I tell the guy I like that I like him, and if he likes me as well, wouldn't he be living his life with regret because he hadn't done anything to bring us together sooner? I would only be ridding him with guilt and regret, would I not? And would I want someone I like/love to live his life in regret and guilt? No, probably not, especially since I won't be there to help him through it.
Even if the guy doesn't return his feelings for me, he would probably feel all pitiful for me. And hence, would probably try to do something he never would've done or probably never wanted to. Like a kiss on the forehead or something. Would I want something fake like that? No, probably not.
And the final thought, do I really want to know the answer?

Hm.

So yea, I would really like to know what you think and all.

Yes, I deleted the last entry. It wasn't nice, it wasn't fair.

Sorry to those who didn't get to read it, but it wasn't anything worth reading.

Summary of last night:
1) 80s party, got all dressed up. Fun fun. Though my room stinks of hairspray and the likes.
2) Got to the "ballroom" and danced to the music. Live band was good, although they weren't playing 80s music. DJ was pretty alright.
3) Went over to BirraBella for the after party thing. Didn't dance much, chilled outside instead.
4) Met Andrew. Gave me his hoodie (or his best friend's hoodie which he was wearing) because I was freezing my ass off. Kissed me on the cheek. Entertained me for about 3 whole hours. Made time fly by.
5) Walked back home with Andrew and Samantha (Sarah's, my neighbour, friend). Had a glass of Vodka with cordial. Too sweet. Went to bathroom and added water from taps.
6) Rhys called. Unpleasant scenario.
7) Andrew saw me all tear-stained and shit. Asked what was wrong. Probably got freaked out.
8) Showered. Went to bed. Or tried to.

Summary of this morning:
1) Woke up at 6-ish. Couldn't go back to sleep although I was immensely tired.
2) Andrew swung by to get his hoodie back. Everything boiled down to just a "Nice meeting you, goodbye."
3) Went to uni, mentally and physically fucked up.

Yep. That's about it.

I don't know why I'm even doing this. Ah well.

Got a weekend ahead of me to do my Anthropology essay now. Mhm. No distractions again.

Evelyn

EDIT
Everything's fine again between Rhys and me. We're back on good terms, I think. So no worries about that.

I'm still so pissed with myself because I didn't have any guts. ><

Not.

Well, yes, kind of. I didn't expect to do this well. Not that it's really good or anything, but it was above my expectations.

I just got my first major university essay back and I scored a 78%.

It's going to make up for 40% of the total grade. Oh, this is for Criminology anyway.

So yes, I'm satisfied, and happy, and no, really, I'm pretty ecstatic. Lol. I was power-walking the whole way back so I could tell my besties. Heh. Not to show off or anything, just to let some of my joy out.

On other things, I've got this horrible horrible huge blister on the sole of my foot. Urgh. It's really painful, or it was, it's better now. I got it from my boots.

Yep. Beauty does kill. I hope it gets better by tomorrow, because there's an 80s party going on, and I've got to wear my boots. So yep. Fingers crossed!

Another very freaky thing which I've really been freaking out about is the queer things that have been happening. :S Sorry if this offends any of you guys, I'm not going to divulge names and stuff. And you can just comment or note me if you feel uncomfortable with this entry.

All these happened in less than a week:
1) I split up with Rhys.
2) A friend on dA lost a friend to death.
3) Another friend on dA lost a close friend to death.
4) Yet another friend on dA had her partner in a pretty serious accident.
5) And yet yet another friend on dA split up with her boyfriend.

And all these happened to people who I used to play Trivia with. Less than a week.

WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!

NYARGH!

O.O

But don't let that stop you from eating to your fullest!

Thought of that last night while I was laying in bed. Jumped right up, and scribbled it on a piece of paper. It's now up on my wall, right in front of my bed, so when I wake up, I'll see it.

Hm.

I never fail to amaze myself how fast I heal emotionally. I mean, it's not that I'm over what has happened for the last few days, and months, but I can look back now without feeling all teary and sad. I'm not boasting or anything, nor am I being insensitive. I mean, there is still an amount of sadness when I think of him, but there's the gratefulness and happiness as well. And that makes so much of a difference.

I would just like to thank the friends who've been there for me for the past few days:
1) My besties: Asi, Marion and Sarah
2) =vargr
3) *jamiebarrow
4) *bestgreenknight
5) Mitra, my bestie from Singapore
6) Everyone else who has been so kind and understanding

So, enough about me.

I hope Mark *bestgreenknight is feeling better. Go over to his page and give him a big hug.

He deserves so many.

Got to run for Crim lecture now! Toodles guys!

Ally is the name of my new cactus plant thing which is sitting in a small blue bucket in a n orange bowl with flowers on it by the window. It is so pretty, no, it has no gender, to me, that is. I finally took =vargr's advice and got myself a plant. Too bad Ally doesn't need much nurturing though. Just water once every 10 days. Hm.

Lots have happened over the past few days. Well, not lots, really, just one which has really changed my life.

There's no easier way to put this, and please do not flood me with comments and notes about whether I'm alright and "I'm sorry"s and "Why"s and all that crap. I know you mean well, but I'd rather prefer not to read them. Nothing's going to change what I'm feeling now except me myself, and I'm working on it.

Rhys and I are not together anymore.

There. It's said. Took me a couple of days to actually get it into my system, but I've more or less done it. So I thought it would be good to let you guys know as well, since I love all of you.

Well then, I'd better get back to some of my research now.

Damn it, my journal title was originally:
Too Much Un-Fun Partay-ing Makes One Go Absolutely Cuckoo
But it was too long and dA cut it short. Psh.

I've been partying quite a lot this week. Well, not a lot in some people's definition, but a lot in mine. Been drinking 3 nights this week. Not much in any of them, but each night has ended in boredom/pain/discomfort.

First night: We had pre-dinner drinks on the balcony, and I unwisely decided to have champagne. Got a blasting headache after that. I've no clue why, but I just can't take wine. I'm just that fucking weird.

Second night: I went over to Pugg's which is just down the street with my friend, Sarah, to meet her cousin whom she hasn't seen for years. And, Sarah asked me to skoll a pint of beer and a bottle of Smirnoff (within the time span of half an hour) to dance. That made me puke. Yep. I mean, yea, if I was a seasoned drinker, it wouldn'tve been that bad. But, bear in mind that the last time I'd drank was right before Easter. Which is a couple of weeks ago. And the last time I'd drank before that, was somewhere in mid-March. So yes, I don't drink a lot. Psh. We only stayed for an hour at Pugg's.

Third night: It's Clare's birthday today, so last night she decided to have a little gathering at Black Cat (a pub), then at Night Cat (a club). Black Cat was fine, had a glass of Malibu and Coke (yes, Coke... it's nice. Psh.). But it started to rain. So we decided to head on to Night Cat for some dancing. Went the wrong way, developed some blisters, finally arrived at Night Cat and started dancing. Hated the music. African tribal stuff. And it just got boring. Creepy guys started surfacing from the middle of the floor and yea, did their shit as usual. So, my little trio decided to head back home before midnight. And my hair still reeks of cigarette smoke. Urgh. I've already showered, bloody hell.

No, you didn't have to read that boring piece of shit I just wrote. Sorry, guys.

So anyway, hopefully next week'll be a better one.

Well, for one, I'm going for 30 Seconds to Mars's gig at Festival Hall. Yay! Can't wait for that one. Hehe. And yes, that was the point of the poll. D'oh.

I've been really really into The Magnetic Fields. Go check them out if you haven't. I've been listening to their album 69 Love Songs over and over again. Some of their lyrics are really corny, but I just love their rhythm. They're kind of like Architecture in Helsinki, just more old-ish and with a lower tone. Heh. The first song in the album I'm listening to is "Absolutely Cuckoo", hence the journal title.

As most of you would have noticed, I've recently written a little story, and yes, any critique is appreciated. I know it's a little queer and all, but yea, just let me know what you think and why you think it. Ta!

Well, I might just go back for a little snooze seeing how I didn't get much sleep last night because of the cigarette smoke. Every move I made resulted in a "fresh" new breath of cigarette smoke. D'oh.

Oh, on another note, I'm meeting Gemma, Tom and Beau today! Yay!

EDIT: Not meeting them anymore because Beau's sprained his wrist and can't make it. Ah well. Sorry, Karen, no porn photos.

Let's see what else has been up. Hm.

I'll probably be meeting =vargr and hopefully `budgieishere and =ChungaMunga this weekend for coffee or something. So that's something to look forward to, I guess.

I spent the last weekend at Rhys's place, playing FFX and him playing FFXII. I guess yea, the battle system in FFXII is really cool, and so much better, but I don't know. Hm. Something about it just doesn't appeal to me that much. (Maybe it was because I wasn't playing the game myself.) Heh. I didn't manage to complete FFX though, because Rhys decided to return it (Yes, we rented it.). Psh. On another note, I wish I could see Rhys this week. Ah well.

Anzac Day was yesterday, and I only just found out (well, on Tuesday, to be exact) that it was to commemorate World War I veterans and all. So hm, that was pretty interesting. I didn't go to the Dawn Service though, spent the day lazing around in bed, watching Black Books.

Black Books, yum. I love Dylan Moran. If anyone who reads this knows Black Books, I love that scene in the Travel Writer episode (or Traveller or something...) when he said he'll go get tea for the writer, and ends up sticking his head through the curtains and being all sheepish and shy and stuff. So cute.

But yea, I hope they come up with another season or something. Meh.

Well, next on the list would be Fawlty Towers. And yes, I haven't watched it. Psh.

Steering away from movies, I've just gotten hooked on Jeff Buckley. My Psych lecturer played Jeff's rendition of Hallelujah during the lecture on Tuesday, on full blast with the lights darkened and all. And it was simply heavenly. You could listen to every emotion and quiver in his voice and yea, it was awesome. Mmm.

I guess that's about it. Washing's almost done, so hm. Toodles!
