New.

~lylianthe — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 04:39:59 PST

It's been a year nearly since the journal was updated.

UPDATE.

Optometry is finished... that is until I start my Masters for I am crazy.
377 journal articles to read, I'll see how I fare.

I'll try not to just update my journal annually...

final year

~lylianthe — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:28:04 PST

It's my final year and I can't say I'm not stressed. But I guess I will take it as it comes and get as organised as I can instead of procrastinating....

Photography wise, I haven't been inactive as such, just haven't had time to really look at my photos and all. I hope I will soon so I don't leave it all sitting in my hard drive..

I'm going to Mildura (NW corner of Victoria) for a week or so on March 17, I don't know what to expect.. it's for uni but I'm thinking of bringing my camera up there and having a look around with it, I have no idea what's it like there. Is it all going to be.... dirt?

Then of course, I'm going to Fiji later on in the year (dates unconfirmed as yet) around June/July, for 6-8 weeks which is a long time to be overseas for uni...

And of course my major research project will be sucking some life out of me and driving across Victoria to five million places during 2008.

So. All in all, I shall keep taking photos!

Hope you are all well!

--

I also can't believe that "Songs of Orange" is still so popular after all this time. I was still half-asleep one morning when I came up with the idea for that photo, I guess it was a stroke of some kind of genius maybe but it took quite a few shots to get it right. So thank you for the continued support.

Finished! + HK

~lylianthe — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 04:27:09 PST

Finally finished exams today, wonderful feeling, then it being a 36C degree day, we hit the beach with some fish and chips and played some beach volleyball.. or we tried to anyway. It was good fun though, it's been a while since I've been out (I feel like I'm a recluse saying that) but it's been uni, work, uni, work, a lot this year, so it was nice to just spend some time chilling out with friends.

On another note, I leave tomorrow night for Hong Kong and won't be back till 19th December. So I'll be back for Christmas in Summery Australia at least, and hopefully, the heat (& flies!) won't be too bad.
The number of flies this year is horrendous. Arrrrgh, don't want to think about it..

Hope all the Melburnians enjoyed the weather today, it had a nice cool change this afternoon (kind of) and then started pouring the evening, great fun!

Byeeee for now and I'll try to take lots of photos

Alas!

~lylianthe — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 04:41:03 PST

I'm still in the middle of my exams.. but at least I have a 3 week trip to Hong Kong to think about..
Also, I've got my overseas externship next year and have no idea where to go!

Fiji, Waterloo, Singapore, NYC, Chicago, Mexico, India, South Africa, Nepal Shanghai..

Too hard to decide!

stress.stress.stress.

~lylianthe — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 05:05:53 PST

I have way too much on my plate right now.
I hate it when people can't leave me alone when I want them to.

Back to reality.

~lylianthe — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 00:57:58 PDT

Back from Europe. Heck, I'm into my 4th week of uni already!
So I'm sifting through my photos right now and hopefully will have something of some interest to place up here. It's weird being back in Melbourne, I haven't quite slipped back into my usual routine yet. I guess it's also different since this semester of uni is so much different from my previous semester.
For one thing, it's a lot more hectic and.. hectic. My roster makes me start uni at all sorts of times and it's becoming natural to be down in clinic so often.

Also, I have to think about where I'm going to do my externship. Hmm. They want all of us to go overseas next year (more saving up to do) and I'm not sure if I want to go to a third world country or see how other countries function with optometrists.

But anyhow. Back to Europe. It was great, too tonnes of photos, I did love Germany and Venice.. There's just so much and so little time.

Hmm. Will need to go back in the future

March already!

~lylianthe — Sun, 25 Feb 2007 03:54:35 PST

It seems that not long ago I was just talking about it being February already and now it's the end of the month and I go back to uni tomorrow. Wow. That went by even quicker than I imagined.

So what have I achieved these past 3 months?

Well I've worked a lot. But I guess I did that on purpose, jumped at all chances to work since I have to save up money for my Europe trip. Which reminds me that I need to sort out the accommodation stuff soon.

Sigh. I just wiped out half of my journal entry and I don't know what I was talking about.

So now I give up. Something about uni. About movies. The Open Air Festival, The Good German and Running With Scissors. Strange strange book = weird weird movie.

I'll stop procrastinating now and go...

Hope you are all faring well with lots of water to drink!

*carries bucket into the shower* (All the Australians will understand.)

February already

~lylianthe — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 01:41:29 PST

I can't believe that it's February already... and at the end of this month, it's back to uni for me. It hasn't felt like it's been almost 3 months, but it has. Time really flies by when you're having fun I guess. Although I cannot say that it's all be great so far (worked a lot) but at least I didn't have the daily fuss of getting up early and taking the train, sitting in lectures, all that.

Part of me wants to go back and part of me doesn't.

But I'll probably get used to it really quickly again.

I'm still recovering from the flu, which has been a pain; fever, headache, aches, cough, even nosebleeds which isn't a symptom of the flu but was brought on by my symptoms.

Oh well!

Hopefully all of you have been faring a bit better

But on the plus side, there's a lot to look forward to this year.. I'm going to see Varekai with Kris (Cirque du Soleil) in a few months from now, and I'm saving up for the Europe trip later on this year too. Which reminds me that I have to find some good places for accommodation without hurting my wallet *too* much. Any good places to recommend in Frankfurt, Berlin, Paris, London or Rome? Or rather, any sights/places in those respective countries which can't be missed?

Anyhow.. I'll stop rambling now.

Take care

out of need

~lylianthe — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 06:42:40 PST

I need a new journal for the new year.

Hopefully, it'll be a great one!

and to everyone!

'tis the season...

~lylianthe — Sat, 23 Dec 2006 02:44:56 PST

And it's that time of the year again (refer to webcam), so I wish you all a great Christmas and New Year's, wherever you are, whatever you may be doing.
Currently, 24 hour shopping is on, and I'm tossing whether to go or not But hope everyone gets to have a happy break and holiday, lots of food and drink and drink...

I can't believe it's Christmas already. I feel like I just finished uni for the year (back in November) but here I am, once again at the end of a year. I got my first Christmas presents today! It was from the guys at work, since I'm not going to see them till after the holidays, buuuut it's always good to be receiving presents!

Meanwhile, I have a bavarian strudel to make and I hope it turns out well. (Well, we since Kris is in it too!) Hehe, this is going to be interesting! Not implying we can't cook, just never made bavarian strudel before so I hope it all goes to plan.

Sorry for the stunt in photos, I know I said I'd get back to it all after uni, but I've been trying to reorganise my room to the way I want it (it's not working thus far) and reading addictive books. The weather has been evil too, especially with the bushfires, the whole city was covered in smog. But! I will be out with my camera soon, it needs a bit of a workout.

Addictive books are evil. Yet so, so good.

I went cherry picking on Wednesday too, it was an hour's drive away into the Dandenong Ranges but it was fun, and the cherries were so big and sweet. We managed to pick 6kg of it and now the house is inundated with cherries. We would've probably got more if it wasn't so hot that day.

And now, it's cold!

I should've made gingerbread men this year. Hmph. I remember the year I put together a hamper... I should do that again, just for the fun of it. A new year's hamper since I'm too late to a Christmas one already.

Anyhow.

Merry Christmas everyone!

The Concert + Break!

~lylianthe — Sat, 18 Nov 2006 19:23:11 PST

The Make Poverty History Concert was great It had its surprises and I wish they didn't take Kris' 10D cause we would've gotten some awesome photos otherwise (we had really good seats) hehe

The line up:
- Pearl Jam & U2 (Bono called themselves UJam )
- Sarah Blasko
- John Butler Trio
- Hilltop Hoods
- Eskimo Joe
- Evermore
- Lior
- Paul Kelly
- JET

and lots of other performances! Lots of white arms bands were sold for one thing! Visit: [link]

Annnd, exams are over I'm on my break till... February/March 07 now. So..aside from work, what should I do? And no, I'm not going overseas

Hope we are all having a great weekend!

Make Poverty History - Melbourne + SNOW!

~lylianthe — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 03:46:12 PST

I got tickets to the make poverty history concert
And it's on the 17th November which is the last day of my exams so I guess I get to have a bit of a relax after all the stress and grind of the past few weeks, so yay for me!
I didn't expect to get any, but hey, when I got an email telling me I'd scored a double pass, I wasn't going to argue

So at least I have something to look forward to after all the exams are over. And before I start working more - need to save some money!

But then I also got tickets to Varekai (these I had to pay for though I wish they were free hehe) but that's not until next year, so in the mean time, I have to try and not lose them. Has anyone ever been to a Cirque du Soleil show? I've been wanting to go ever since the first time I'd heard of them which was a while ago. Now I've got tickets!

--

It snowed this morning for many parts of Victoria and for all those out there, you may be like "So? It's Winter nearly." But it's not! It's 2 weeks from summer and it's snowing It's bizarre too cause it snowed in a lot of places - not just the mountains! Which is odd. Climate change. *sigh*

But yes. That needed a journal announcement. It's cold. It's like 6C outside right now. Or something of the sort. It's weird. And I'm cold.

Melbourne Cup and Motivation + Progress

~lylianthe — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 00:54:19 PST

I need some motivation today. I have an exam tomorrow. And technically, I shouldn't be here. I should be off in the midst of my books. I don't think it's hit me yet that I'm having an exam in just a bit over 12 hours and that if I don't do something now, I'll regret it in about 4 hours time.

So! I really should go. And study. And wait for my mini-moos to arrive since they've been posted already annnnnd yep!

But instead, I have looked at how the people dressed up today for the races, it was oddly 14C outside so today was a tad chilly. But it was cool looking at all the hats and dresses
And of course, the horsies.

Oaks day should be interesting. But I have to study for an exam the next day on Thursday too.
Enough rambling. I will rant some more when I finally get my mini-moos and go crazy over them.

If I wasn't studying, I would've been like all the other Melburnians on this fine weekend, gone to Derby Day where everyone gets drunk, Melbourne Cup and then Oaks day to see all the cool fashion and hats and of course, enjoyed the 4 day weekend

Cheers!
(I wish Tawqeet did win though...)

On the other hand, 2 down and 3 to go!
I mean! 3 down and 2 to go!

EXAMS! + mini moos + a wish

~lylianthe — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 20:10:56 PST

AGAIN!

*stresses and all that jazz*

--

actually, at least I have something to be excited about now. Mini-moos! hehehe. I can't wait to get them! I hope they turn out good. aiiiiiiiiie. I want them now!

--

I keep remembering random things I wanted to put into this journal.
But anyhow, I wish the person who bought a 20x20 inch of Songs of Orange [link] could tell me if it turned out any good
You can note me about it! It's just that I'd really love to know....

I wish we had square canvas sizes too. It'd be awesome to see how photos turn out on it. And then have nowhere to hang it!

Ok! er, back to study.......

blah.

~lylianthe — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 00:46:36 PDT

i just wanted a new entry.

now to put that inspiration to life!

hello and hello

~lylianthe — Wed, 04 Jan 2006 06:31:51 PST

A belated Happy New Year! Hope we all enjoyed NYE whatever you were doing and wherever you were

Life is very disorderly at the moment, in a bit of a mess, must organise and fix it all ... will get to it eventually! Have to juggle work at the same time *sigh*
Hong Kong was great, the wedding was good, shopping was good, uhm.. yes!

Just finished reading "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak and I have to say that I loved it. Though sad at times, but still loved it. It's based during the time of WWII but the narrator of the story is death itself, it gives a really different perspective to everything.

Just put in some film for developing a few days ago and get it back today.. so will have a look at how it goes and if I'll print any (4x4 most probably) or if I just wasted the film lol *fingers crossed it turns out ok!*

Have to get up early... but I'm procrastinating anyways and not going to bed silly me.

new webcam is from HK disneyland.. I just had to take a photo of the place where you pick up "Lost Children" It's so... disneyland.

Uhmm... and I might be going to HK again soon.. it depends on the airfares and holidays and all that, and money that I'll have or won't have...

Personally, would love to go to New Zealand, basically just for an awesome photo trip with me camera and tripod
best nature shots you'll ever get

I watched Narnia recently and it's made me want to go back and read "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" again.. will get to it soon, I'm returning to my childhood bookswise recently, and just going back to all the books I used to read as a kid, and loving it
(The Book Thief being an exception )

Uhmmm... yeah! The weather is very sporadic of late actually. I had this blistering hot week before NYE .. 42C degrees and all, and now it's gone all cold and what not. *sigh* I'll never understand Melbourne weather, or is everywhere like that? But at least I can wear some of the clothes I bought in Hong Kong now! hehe yay!

Uhmm. I think I should stop typing and go to sleep. yes. mmm.

zzz.

going, going... gone! + HK edit

~lylianthe — Wed, 30 Nov 2005 21:12:02 PST

I'll be gone till the 21st December.. I can just see my inbox filling up right now....

Be good everyone!

---
EDIT
ello! hehe I'm typing this from Hong Kong in an ok "wintery" 23C degree day whilst it's a nice and boiling 34C day in Melbourne!
uhm.. hope everyone is well.. and yeah!
I am slowly getting used to the air quality (or lack of) here but it's Hong Kong so I expected as much.. been taking lots and lots of photos and doing lots of clips on my ixus 50.. got some photos on 300D too .. taking more tonight of some light show thingy I'm going to.
Am yet to go to Disneyland or ocean park but looking forward to it.. cause I'll go photo crazy

but I hope you are all doing well?

i try to avoid being run over everyday.. and can only marvel at the way people drive here. they are all crazy.
I would never EVER drive in Hong Kong no matter how confident I was lol and I thought some aussies were bad (well, many just don't know how to drive) people here know how.. they're just nuts

uhmm.. and yes. I will go now cyaaaaaa!

MOVIE MARATHON:

oooh.. did that last night, saw Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang & The Island
was fun fun.. got sleepy towards the end but turned out ok

BIRTHDAY:

that was a while ago. but from here onwards i'm not sure i want to celebrate getting older and older hehe
was cool though, got a big profiterole cake... yum!

HONG KONG:

forgot to add this to my title, but I leave for Hong Kong on the 24th Nov, coming back on the 21st Dec. Leave straight after exams! So I have no idea when to pack.. or what to bring (especially since my cuz is getting married o_O)
will figure it out..

And have recently developed a taste for rollups again (since childhood) hehe.. i'm such a big kid

break time!

~lylianthe — Tue, 20 Sep 2005 18:49:13 PDT

Well i'm officially on my 2 weeks break, before I head back to uni and do it all again.
I've got a lot to do, especially photography wise, I'm going to Hong Kong at the end of the year too (yay!) haven't been in ~6 years which is a shame () but I'm coming back! () and going to buy a compact digital as well and take my 300D with me.

Need to buy another card for it too and battery for the compact.. I was thinking of getting the Canon Ixus 50, what do you think??

Got a lot of reading to do too, and to start my assignment to design a telescope... wheeeeee
And I'm in a cooking faze recently, hehehe there are muffins and other signs of this faze all dotted around the house

And I will promise to catch up on dA, but I've only really got another 1 and a half weeks left.
And you see, once I start uni again, my schedule is like this: Mon - Fri = University; Fri - Sun = Work

So you see, I have no life after breaks and holidays

*sigh*

I just...

~lylianthe — Wed, 07 Sep 2005 05:56:31 PDT

so what can you do?

*look at current *

do as your told. bring back the community.

finally...

~lylianthe — Wed, 15 Jun 2005 03:11:39 PDT

...but not quite.

I've been meaning to go out with my camera, but I guess I should wait till my exams are finished.. shouldn't use it as a way to procrastinate!

~lylianthe — Fri, 03 Jun 2005 06:46:37 PDT

--

flora is confused.

i didn't get an email that i got a subscription....
but apparently I have and I thank the person that did buy it for me

I'm sorry for my absence, I obviously haven't placed many photos I took of tassie especially, well, the thing is, I haven't even seen them since I took them in tassie

I haven't got them back yet.. but I will soon, and will get them up soon, I've had a lot of ideas buzzing around too, but I haven't gotten around to it.

my exams are up too. which doesn't help. but once they're over, i have plenty of free time! haha.. I haven't been roaming with the in a while.. *sigh*

but roaming will commence once again. i especially want a photo of my spooky uni carpark which is really quite beautiful if you take all the cars out of it and turn on some lights.

see you soon and wish me luck with the exams! *fingers crossed*

it's been a while hasn't it?

work. uni. work. uni. work. study. study. work. uni. not much of a pattern but you get the idea.

then... tasmania. for easter.
went camping... loved it

took lots of photos.. 0 time to look at them. study. study. study.

mid semester tests are all coming up soon. sigh. must do more of study. uni. work.

feel like quitting work though and going some place else. a place that is not so dominated by chinese people. (not that i don't like chinese people. I am one myself. I just don't like quite a few of the ones where i work )

photos are on computer, some on someone else's computer. but will manage to look at them soon.. and maybe even submit some.

hope those who are in uni made the transition from holiday mode back to uni mode a bit better than me.

be back soon.

I've realised that lately, my ideas for photos have come to me either early in the morning when I'm in the process of waking up or when I'm trying to fall asleep. I guess it's when my mind wanders the most without any limits.

What about you? When do ideas come to you?

---

gah. I deleted all my messages in my inbox and left them unanswered. sorry to everyone but I really do thank you all for your support!

and on the other hand, I've submitted!
thanks to *mnoo she gave me the kick I needed

flora has been inactive of late.. i guess it's because she wasn't expecting to be working in december ... but she will be back.. she does have photos to look at and hopefully make ready to submit soon. she will definitely be back soon though!

there are still some photos on her camera needing some downloading too.. hmph. lazy flora

but.. busy of late, must rectify that problem asap.
will be back asap - sorry for the lack of comments and what not from me lately, been tired and busy and not online much at all but hopefully in the near future, my commenting rate will get back to normal again

in the mean time, take care and enjoy the holidays

christmas shopping

~lylianthe — Wed, 24 Nov 2004 04:25:15 PST

--

it's that time of the year where Christmas shopping is a priority..
how many of you are REALLY organised and have in mind what you want to get already?
Or are you one of those that wait till you're out there in the shops and buy what you fancy? (or rather, what you think the person you're giving it to will fancy)

I'm very bad at buying presents.. so indecisive

but it'll be fun lots of stuff to do before Christmas comes along... and hopefully will not have to do any last minute shopping on Christmas Eve

and why is it that men complain about being tired and want to leave after about an hour or so of shopping? (unless they have something to buy themselves and it takes them more than an hour to get it - unlikely.)
and if you are a male who can really go shopping, then I am sorry because I have not met such a person before

poor girl. a 16y/o girl from my old high school died this morning. she was hit by an express train.

i didn't know her.. but still the same, I would've seen her around the school for a couple of years whilst I was still there...

she's not blameless for what happened but that's not the point.. the point is, a 16 year old girl just died today when instead she should be counting down the days to the end of the school year and prepare for her Christmas holiday...

I actually submitted...
even if it was an old shot... I hadn't looked at it since I took it soooo.. I guess it still counts
but I still won't probably have anything new till after exams... till then, I'll look through my stash of photos and see if there's anything interesting there...

*blinks*

I just realised something. I just realised that my photo s p r i n g was a DD back in 2003-11-11...

I haven't submitted in nearly a month!

aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie... and I probably won't be for another few weeks..
my exams are up so I've got to study haaaaaaard.. *sigh*

but I've still got ideas floating around in my head, just that I don't have the time to shoot them until after exams.... which will be after November 16th.....

but hopefully I can sneak in a few shots before then.... *crossses fingers*

hehee got nice hot weather today yaaaaaaaaay lol

Well I do have ideas.. but they involve so much which I don't have time for at the moment.

But. I've been looking around uni and seeing so many places i could do a photoshoot .. it's very interesting

I'll be back soon.. but some catching up with uni to do! I've got tests and crap like that coming at me

Hope you're all doing good

*stat assignment flies across the room and bursts into flames*

......then I don't know what happens next.

PS: there's a Miyazaki film thingy going on.. they're going to screen some of his movies including Totoro and Laputa at Nova. wheee

Idea: is to create submissions of photography/design that I would use if I was creating a portfolio. I have a few things swirling around in my head.. i'll get to it asap.

"uni is cool," says ho wah as we stand in north court during lunch watching the androids play live.
we see another group of high school students walk around uni, this time, dressed in blue.
"there's another bunch of em at uni," says i. "only here to see all the fun stuff."

prior to lunch, I was getting a headache from my physics prac, for 3 hours, listening to a speaker hum. hmmmmmmmm.... it goes... hmmmmmmm... it continues to go...
hmmmmmmm!!! it goes - found the resonant frequency.
finally! *quickly write down the value and the error*

that humming.. hmmmmmm.. hmmmm.. constantly for 3 hours, SOMEONE always has the speaker on.. and so it hums.. hmmmmmmmmmmm in a monotone manner, not realising that it causes flora headaches after a while.

after lunch, physics tute. oh boy.

it wasn't so bad, i had no motivation to do any work.. so i scribbled a bit, answered a bit, listened to the rest.

"i so can't be bothered today," i think.

now i will go look at alleles. wow. alleles. biology.. wheee fun. maybe.

the only highlight today, was my shoppingness after uni.. was cool... *wraps self up in the new throw* pweeetty.. and soft.

*goes to consolidate self by hugging the blanky for a while before going back to biology and physics.*

next year... next year, I will complain about something else.. maybe.
*hasn't complained about vision science before actually* ... wow. *revelation!*

*runs away*

it's funny how unis promote drinking.. *refer to comment under journal* hehehe

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Mood: ...

new photos finally!

just putting them onto computer now.. will be up shortly hopefully! yaaaaaaaay

today, I went ice skating with a whole bunch of friends, it was great fun, so tiring but we had so much exercise lol and my arms hurt because we all held hands in a line and skated together. lol when we turned, it's like you're being pulled apart

after ice skating, went to have lunch then onto St Kilda beach. Mind you, it's winter and was quite cold. But we were up for it. I took some photos on the pier (late sunset - was driving during sunset), then had dinner after walking along Acland St and staring at all the pretty cakes.

Dinner was nice, but after that, we went down to the beach where a friend of mine did some fire twirling. Took some shots of that too and some more from the beach.

Afterwards, we spread out these towels on the sand and sat around, made a little campfire and roasted some marshmallows. I ate them from the packet lol. After a while, we all laid down on the towels under the starry sky with jackets all over us to keep out the cold.... until we had to leave.

Was fun though!

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Mood: er...

I was reading the life stories in the forum..so in the end wrote my own. It's mainly concentrated on my life and not my family's overall, not that anything really happened for me to talk about but yesh. Just felt like putting it in here after writing so much hehehehe

--

Flora was born back in 1985, the time when Sooty was adored by kids and being hit on the bum for being naughty was common. Her parents had just moved to Melbourne, Australia a mere 4 months ago before Flora's birth at the Queen Victoria Hospital.

Being the youngest and only daughter in the family, her 2 brothers were her playmates for most of her childhood. Basketball, cricket, footy, What's the time Mr Wolf?, downball and three square - there were many many more.
Of course, the 80s passed without Flora even realising, having no sense of time as a little kid. Kinder was just down the road, she didn't see how educational it was, rather thought that painting the playground with water was rather silly since it would dry again but fun just to see the wood turn dark temporarily and try to paint the entire playground before the original patch disappears. That puzzle of Peter rabbit was rather easy too, Flora thought.

When she was 5, she had that accident where she tripped and fell headfirst onto concrete steps. The doctor tried to make her fall asleep with anaesthetic, but she never did and in the end gave her stitches anyway.
Probably also the year Flora ran down a train platform towards its edge to get a balloon back and caught the balloon and was pulled back in time to not fall onto the railroad tracks.

Primary school all of a sudden, also just down the road, where she realised that people thought that she was smart. She also earned more than a dozen nicknames over the years and teachers she still reveres now. Flora matured early on in her life, in primary school and started reading "big chunky fantasy books" which scared her friends at school.

High school, and she actually had work to do. In the early years, she missed her childhood dearly, and wondered where all the time went. Then she made a lot of friends, and went on to be the dux of her school. Not much can be said of her high school days.. there were tough times of course, not that it had anything to do with high school but changing friendships and seeing flaws in people she thought that never existed.

People thought that Flora was a shy girl, didn't talk too much but could be loud at times. Flora thought that that was the worst interpretation of her she had ever heard. But a lot of people thought that. So in 2001, Flora decided to show the real her to her friends, and since then, they have come to realise that when you get to know Flora, she never really shuts up.
She is still unsure whether that was a good move or not.

Flora took up photography, thinking that maybe she could make some of the pretty photos that she'd seen as well and signed up at DA. Of course in 2003, Flora also met the love of her life, Kris, through DA, who changed her life forever. The year 2002 became the most difficult year for Flora to get through. The amount if secrets and rumours and failing relationships with "friends" took its toll on her but she never really realised until 2003 when she wrote about it. Flora is definitely very lucky to have Kris by her side.

Life at university, it's busy, easy and difficult at the same time. And it continues to be.

but back to my inactivenessssss despite what I said before my holidays, I haven't done much hmm. it's just that I keep forgetting during the day dammit! lol and during the day is when I want to shoot, not know when it's all dark outside and I can't see a thing.

I'll have to remind myself tomorrow MORNING.

Watching: Shrek 2

Got home from Shrek 2 not that long ago after seeing it with Kris, it was a great night, I really loved the Gold Class and all the complementary food. I wasn't expecting the free m&ms though, hehe (we already had a packet) so in the end, we had too much popcorn and too much drinks and too much chocolate.

The finger food (hors d'oeurves - can't remember spelling, too tired to think anyway) was oki.. didn't like the fish and unidentified stuff though - bad thing about eating in the dark. Spring rolls were the best, like Kris said, you can't really go wrong with spring rolls, and they didn't *phew*

Movie was great, I still like the first one better, but it did pretty good for a sequel

The chairs were realyl comfy, nice back support for my achey back too liked how they were electronically controlled and so comfy.. much better than the chair I'm sitting on now!

But earlier in the day, I had another one of my falls *rolls eyes* this time, falling knees first onto concrete steps. My jeans didn't suffer too much damage, no holes or anything - especially cause I didn't scrape it along the ground, so my knees just got a slight grazing. It does hurt for a bit though, so I don't recommend it.

After the movie, even though didn't have a proper dinner, felt very full, came home to find that my friends were over at my place still learning how to make mango pudding from my dad.. and they're still in the freezer now, waiting for it to set but they've gone home so that's oki.

I'm just tired now, I miss Kris already, I haven't spent as much time as I wish I was thus far in these holidays, even on the weekends. It's the only time I really relax and just spend time in each other's company.. I miss that.

But now, I'm just tired. We're both tired. Eyes are droopy, head feels heavy, I want to have some mango pudding before bed of course, and I'm going to wait till past midnight so that my cable internet comes back (it's a new month)
It seems like my brothers have exceeded the bandwidth and I think I'm running on 28k or something similar.. maybe a bit faster I think, but not by much.

Anywhoo.. hope you all are having a good week
Thanks for making it to the end of this journal I'm sure I'm a very interesting person.

hehe.. night night everyone!

Mood: --

for once I can't be bothered to think of a title, maybe too tired, too bored, a bit of both, I don't know.

I've been on my break for a week and I'm going to die of boredom soon.
I need to find something to do.
Photography is/was going to be my main highlight for this holiday, I'm just lacking the motivation right now, which really sucks.

Maybe I'm kinda hungry as well right now, or I've got a headache, or my tiredness makes my head feel heavy.. lol either way, head feels funny.

I forgot to check if I was bruised from my little fall yesterday too. hmm oh well, I think I'm fine

I neeeeeeeeed something to dooooooooooooooooo aside from sitting here in my room, or sleeping or eating or staring at my four walls! ok. well I don't stare at my four walls, but still!

Insanity lurks at the edge of my mind, calling out to me. I don't want to go insane just yet. (A few will testify that I already am insane and it's shocking that I haven't realised it yet) but that is irrelevant.
The is at large.

Do you think I need sleep?

I think I need sleep.

What would you do if you had a break from June 18th to July 26th 2004?

sorry for the sudden flow of architecture photos from me guys, I'm resorting them into their proper galleries after the change.

ooooooh and the introduction of conceptual photography!! Which means that there will be ANOTHER shuffling of categories from me, I'm sorry but I'm a perfectionist at times and it irks me if I know they're not in their proper place!

peace guys, enjoy the week for those who are on holidays, and er.. work hard for those that aren't hehe

update: I just won a double pass to see Shrek 2 in Gold Class next wednesday (30th) at Crown whoooooo! hehehe yaaaaaaaay! I've never been to gold class before - maybe cause it's like double the price - but it'll be cool to see it for free hehehe
it's the only reason I have fore liking Connex, after it cancelled so many trains of mine after its takeover of M-train

I hope so

*trudges off to chemistry, physics and vision science*

ooh! I have some new photos too.. so far...

another shot of the flower - b/w
shots of the spire - colour & b/w

yay! but.. I won't submit them all at the same time... and after exams, one of the things I'm going to do is delve into colours more in photography.

but sometimes shots look so cool in b/w!! but I also want to play with a colour a whole lot more..

I think has inspired me with her colour-filled photos

yay for 10k
thanks for mentioning it
