HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME (8th of Feb)

Don't ask me how old I am this year. Nah, joking, I don't mind telling anyone about my age because I am proud of looking so young in my age. Yes, my brother Eric has been telling me to act my age from time to time, but who cares? I am happy about who I am, the only thing I should be doing is to live to the fullest and make myself even happier days by days. Today, I am here to announce that I am 22...Yes... double '2'. It implies 'silly' times two in Chinese...So hello? this joke can never grow old, silliness does exist no matter how old you are, besides, I find silly people quite cute..

My bf came all the way to my house just to see that first beam of light with me once I opened my eyes lool We went jogging together this morning. Before we finished our second round, I did have a thought of if we could jog for the third, but it wouldn't be a good idea if we did so. Tiredness wouldn't be a good thing to have on anyone's birthdays. So she cook us two 'bullshit' eggs like she did a few days ago, though he still couldn't finish everything due to his bloated tummy.

Panpan brought his camera to take hell lots of photos today. Hence he frequently asked me to pose on the bus or at the bus stop for him. That satisfaction on his face was appeared for quite a few times as if he was the greatest photographer. The only photo I remember the most was the one named as 'sexay hair with the wind', my facial expression was so damn sexay, that's all I can say... lol

I only felt like today was one of my days immersed myself into a guessing-game-mode. That mode of mine was fully activated. You know, my curiosity is the scariest thing, which can even make the volcano explode in my point of view. Even though knowing that keeping everything in secret from me will leave me with more surprises later on, curious me still continuously asked him who would be attending the event he made for me, and what we would be doing for the day. I knew that Leon was the biggest liar telling me that he wasn't going to come yet he was there. And I also knew that we would be led to that big fountain at St James. But I was more surprised of the fact that Jimmy and Leon know each other from Macq Uni. Leon was still the usual him hugging me tightly. It was not a problem for someone like him who sat on the bench hugging a person because he could still lift me higher and hug me tighter for some reason. Tom, the curly hair kid asked me why I didn't put that as much as accessories like usual today, I answered him in embarrassment...Because I was running late for this? =3=

Anyways I seriously wouldn't blame Leon's gf for being controlling because Leon seriously needs a gf like her to deal with things. Like he even chucked the lid of that $5 birthday cake away and asked panpan to hold it. Oh and thanks for the sushi train lunch we had. I didn't eat that much though. Leon and Tom, two guys didn't eat that much either, and they said they were super hungry>.> I think the number of dishes I had with panpan when we went Sushi train was 2 times more than theirs lool This is what you called a Sushi terminator lol Leon asked me about some trusting issues when panpan was away to toilet. After he came back, he teased me for being controlling checking all his privacy and such, whereas he has got nothing of mine. Also I was forced to be kissed in the photo in front of my friends=.=

After lunch, panpan asked me to pick a place, I picked pool. I wasn't that happy at all when I knew that Eric couldn't make it, and Corey might not be there either. I am not saying others are not that important but would that be a bummer after you know that those most important ones won't be there to celebrate your birthday with you? Yup, that's exactly how I felt...

Until then, Corey called me to go downstairs. I saw him and his gf were waiting next to the cafe. I instantly felt damn happy taking them upstairs. And they got me a present, I felt bad that I didn't get him one on his birthday though lool Even without introducing one another, panpan and Corey as though they have known each other for good once they met, especially panpan who showed too much enthusiasm towards every friend I introduce to him. I felt like my brother was taken away by my bf for couple of times when they were getting really close to be honest...I supported Corey to win panpan in pool, because that's how happy I felt when I saw him lose...>.> Corey and Emily laughed at my evilness hoping to see my own bf lose to my brother, and the fact that Corey was exceptionally won the first game when he versed him. Either by pure luck or he does have this ability to win him, I don't know. Eunice and Jimmy came back with a pressie on their hand, I opened it with my curiosity, still not knowing what it was until I saw the label that say music box lool It is more of a part of gears I would have found in an engine haha

Each person got a chance to verse different people. I am still suck at aiming but come on people, don't beat the birthday girl....>.> Why can't you just let me win a single game>.> Wait...I guess I did? Hmmm...Anyways to ace something does need so much practices..let's just forget about pool...

Crazy photos were all taken with panpan's camera no matter I was ready for a photo or not. Hence, derpy faces were unavoidably appeared without me notice. Besides, you do know how much he loves my derpy faces. >.>

Karen then came after corey called her. I was a bit disappointed that my birthday was forgotten..she should always have a reminder somewhere to remember my birthday as I have mentioned it only a few weeks ago>.>...then the awkwardness she got from panpan's over enthusiasm was really obvious once they met up. My job was trying to make her feel comfortable around because I would have felt the same when people are that scary>.> anyways panpan was chased by me when he rubbed the blue thing on my cheeks...but giant panpan like him could always lift me up showing how vulnerable I am to him. It was more than embarrassing when you had a hard time getting down to the floor...Same as when we were on our way to the karaoke. I was easily carried around like a pack of 10kg rice. Zero respect. Zero dignity....=3=

By the time we got to karaoke. His craziness was already out of control. I had no way to handle him since he dragged me to dance around at the front; I was forced to sit on his laps; his gay orgy with corey and the rest...such as holding his hand while he sang a couple song, grabbing corey's man boobs as hard as he could; slapped my laps damn hard to reveal his manliness...I seriously wouldn't suggest such a way to show your manliness because I will only consider it as domestic violence if I ever get married with this person; and it was such a troll that I was laughed at by them for mistakenly doing a bj when I was actually wiping the water on his shoes and pants...yup...as corey has stated, it was more of his birthday since he was gone wild. But that was expected as this person does love to take over all the spotlight. Gf's birthday was not an exception. Yes....sometimes I do think he did entertain everyone by turning himself into a clown. Admittedly he didn't mind at all, instead he enjoyed creating the fun and participating in whatever others were doing.

Ohhh but the battery of his camera was dying really fast due to his frequent use to take hell lots of pictures when we went pool. So then Jimmy was the one using his phone to record the moment when everyone sang me a happy birthday song. Unstoppable craziness has made both of us go even further. You wouldn't imagine such a scene when a couple rub cake on each other's faces and licked it clean disgustingly in front of everyone. But guess what, the first time to do such a thing is still better than having finger prints left on you laps after you got slapped so damn hard...>.>

Oh and the silly talk on the train with Corey and his gf Emily was another chance for him to get closer to my friends. I was all silent as I was too tired to ask him to be quiet after multiple times failed to do so loool but I can tell that Corey and his gf found him fun to hang around with. :3

Anyways my day was even more awesome as he stayed for another one hour or so with me at the backyard where we had a talking mood in the darkness. We discussed changes and people's personality...

And.....that's not about it. I thought that would be the end of my birthday tonight but Leon and Eric called me constantly after I got back home. I was asked to go for a drink yet I couldn't be bothered to go out after an exhausted day. Then they came over and brought some food and alcohols to have a post-celebration with me. It was mainly Eric who had such an idea to make it up for his absence today. I was more than happy to see my brother and Leon at late night though. And we had so much fun chatting about our recent life and hard times with variety of things, as well as some experiences were shared with games followed. Even though that was my first time to feel tipsy and ended up being drunk. But I wanted to say thanks for giving me a chance to feel drunk with you guys accompanying. I was all right for the entire two hours til that dizziness hit me all in a sudden. I became so powerless to support myself so I consciously knew what I was doing yet I couldn't help to chuck my head to the glass, and then the table, lastly the wall and the floor when they both carried me to my couch, I fell off from there and rolling around. They then carried me to my bed and I once again fell off from there. The only feeling I got was the surroundings were spinning around once I opened my eyes. Luckily I didn't vomit on the floor or else I would have gotten yelled at a lot by someone the next day..

I trufully thank everyone who came today :3 and everyone who has contributed to that video. Special thanks to two organisers lol panpan and my bro Eric...Even though panpan didn't know who my close friends are and didn't invite most of them, I was still appreciated of everything you've done for me. It might be a harsh thing to say that this might not be the best, but it was one of the craziest, (referring to that karaoke part lol) Wub you :3

Bye 21.. (7th of Feb)

I guess I am possessed by a pig because apparently I get tired so easily...=.= hmmmm what I really did today was hmmm....chilling >.> lool I kept looking for good apps for my phone and I got into this game called birzzle or something>.> The moral of this story is never start doing something if you don't want to be trapped

I've been wondering what kind of surprises I will be receiving tomorrow btw :3

(Just let me be a pig the last day before I turn 22 loool I need to chill and think about everything has happened throughout this year...I really do)

Bye bye 21...next year will be better for sure :)

Second last day of being 21...(6th of Feb)

I normally feel quite exhausted and sleepy between 11 and 12. Same as usual, I went to nap nap for another 2 hours on her bed, didn't get up til she buzzed me. And I was still lying there for another one hour after she came back. She kept tickling me on the side, I rubbed my head against her laps like a cat. Who knows this kid is going to turn 22 in 2 days...>.>

I didn't do anything productive except for watching an episode of extraordinary people, feeling as how that girl felt, crying as much as her mum and her. It's hard to imagine how much pain she has to go through having such a big lump on the lower part of her face. And another inspiring thing I have watched was this begger went on the stage singing a song that has moved so many people. His presence was to advocate there should be more people helping the ones in need, his kindness was to let people see there should be more beautiful things out there yet it's a long journey for you to keep looking for them.

Fixing up the stove was one of my achievements for the day. She couldn't turn on the stove and predicted that it might not be working anymore, frustrated her asked me to call the property maintenance tomorrow or else we won't be able to cook. In the beginning, she thought it was because of the light problem that doesn't indicate whether it produces heat, until she realised that it was the stove itself not working as the noodles was still not cooked after 15 minutes of waiting. The only thing went through my head was it might be the problem from the box, where it consists all the switches in the house. I went and checked, it was exactly what I thought it could be. The switch for stove was off itself. Mum felt happy, I felt happy, there was no need to call and wait for the maintenance tomorrow :) So our main central topic for tonight was the electric circuit lool How to avoid the danger of electrocution was another issue I brought up. She then told me where to get the wooden stick, which can be found behind the suitcase in her room. Welll....If someone ever get electrocuted, you get to use insulator to disconnect the electric circuit, in this case, the switch and the person (form an electric circuit). Education does help you in daily life, we wouldn't notice that until something really happens...

Seems like people like my new look on FB. Yup, it's a good sign showing how adorable I have became in a dress :3 So Game greeted me online, asking how I've been. He wanted to know about how I found the free course session as well as the presentation on Wed. I should say, they were just shoooooo awesome. I totally fell in love with the courses offered in AIT :) I told him how excited I was by typing a big chunk of messages to him lool He then said, 'you eyes must be sparkling when you saw the motion camera room' hahaa xD FB has generated a video of 'Look back' once you clicked that link. That was something worth to be shared in the public sphere because it was just like some jigsaw pieces you have found in somewhere in the corner, where you think you have lost this part of you, but it is actually still there.

I think I might have watched 'reporters failed' videos too much with panpan, and that I haven't even updated any of my blog posts lol But the sharing experience was fun, and we both laughed our heads off because of those trolling moments... xD

One thing I like about panpan the most is his cutensss. Like the recordings he sent me, that 60 seconds worth playing for multiples times to make me smile a lot :) This is one of the reasons to get smart phone. It makes everything more convenient and creates much more fun in my life. I am still learning how to use each of the apps and tools days by days. Oh and we webby tonight weeeeee...Before we went to sleep, we webcam when we both lied on our beds watching each other's faces as though we were literally next to one another. All of the good feelings towards a person suddenly emerged after that connection was formed by this eye contact via webcam... With that good mood, I fell asleep with a smile...

Info night :) (5th of Feb)

Before info night started at AIT, I took mum to that shop for 2 hours as she wanted to get something for me. It was just so hard for women to choose one item among a great deal of glittering accessories in a shop..=.= She ended up getting me two rings and an earring :3 After that, we ate some hot dogs at that cafe which is near the cinema at Townhall.

On our way to AIT, she went on complaining how far my future college is lool The people there are so friendly, the girl who talked to me on the phone recognised me at once when I told her my name at the reception. She then led my mum and I to a room where she could talk to me alone quietly. Mum was sitting there smiling at how friendly she is. She has learned about everything I wanted to achieve by enrolling one of the programs at AIT. And she'd love to help me to reach my goal, so she gave me lots of tips, also suggested me to pick one of the specialisations under the program of diploma of digital media technologies. I was super perplexed in the beginning since a lot of information from what she said has to be digested for a short period of time lol But even mum, who has been watching this the whole time, likes the environment here, as it's more like a studio from the design of their architecture. I was amazed of their interactivity with students one by one, and the presentation was impressively awesome. They even invited the prop designer who worked for 'Star war' to give us a talk in half an hour, and another girl who used to study in here, now has became the lecturer to teach graphic design and film making skills. The projects they showed on the screen were all from the students in the past, one of theirs was even close to the international level which I usually see from the movies.

Once the presentation was over, I asked her how she thought about my future college. She actually thought the same way as I did when I came here a few days ago. At AIT, you are somebody, no longer a nobody because connection between people are built through frequent interactivity daily, that is, with much less people here, and more chance to see particular people. The marketing team such as two of them I talked to today, Cindy and Evelyn who have answered all of my questions, are also one of those great helpers who effectively work for students' welfare.

Positive attitude she had for AIT has made me reaffirm my commitment for the courses I will be taken in here soon :) Now there is only one step away to have my place of belonging...See you soon AIT, really really soon!!

My Chinese bday :3 (4th of Feb)

She cooked me an egg with 'bullshit' red marks surrounded it to symbolize a meaning of 'luck' hahah I love how she did it in such a cute way :3 And when I went to her bed to have a nap in the morning, she recorded my sleepy face as well as my childish act. I shouldn't have acted that childish, instead I need to make some changes within this year, starting from this second, this minute lool But hey, I can't help to stop my cheerfulness of being a kid sometimes because this is the only way to be much simpler, and have more happiness around you

Oh and my day was all good :) Even though there wasn't so much going on with absolutely nobody's accompany to anywhere. It was only mum who took me out at night, asking me to wear one of the dresses she bought for me a few days ago, and had a lovely dinner with me at that Viet restaurant, which is only 300 meters away from our unit. I ordered two dishes. That was my first time to try Viet pancake. It suited my taste as it was crispy enough, somehow it wasn't perfectly wrapped with handful of ingredients inside, they all fell off once we cut the pancake in half. However, the spring rolls, which mum has learned how to do that already, was worth the price. Luckily we only ordered two of them though lool Unfinished meal is not something mum and I will do... Fatty from oversea wechatted me then I took some photos to show him what we ate tonight, attached with another photo of how different I look in a dress :) He then praised me as I look even more beautiful than some stars loool weeeeee that sure made my day hahahaha

Happy Chi bday to me :) I announce that I am now officially 22... :3

My dream place (3rd of Feb)

AIT isn't that far but I wish, it will be much closer T___T It's 15 to 20 minutes walk, but really depends on the speed you walk...The first thing of that free course session was a presentation from one of the lecturers there, telling us some facts about media industry and its trend is inclined to be demanded even more nowadays since everything is related to media. This reflection has given us so much more hope in this brighter future and hence, I already had this good vibe before we started our free courses for the day. Later on, a lady toured us around the whole college. It's a small college yet gives you a comfortable feeling because it isn't crowded with people, and the larger space allows you to have more physical activities with your mates. Also, everyone here gets to know each other, get closer as we can talk to each other frequently unlike in uni, we are all nobody.

After the tour, we were directed to a room where it accommodates more than 20 people. I was sitting with two people who seem to be at their early 30's. Just like every lesson we have for a course, we introduced ourselves a bit, telling everyone around the class why we choose this course for, what we want to achieve by attending this course, and a bit of interesting personal info. During the whole 3 hours we had before lunch break, Sammy, the teacher gave us a task to do, but before that, she taught us how to do it by showing a sample of hers from her own folder. I've never been using computer for several hours in any of my courses, so obviously, you can say that this course does do hands-on projects. I had too much fun creating my own music video in the entire afternoon. Especially she taught us how to use every tool on adobe premiere pro step by step, and letting us to be innovative to choose the materials to add on our own work. I didn't export my work at the end as I wasn't that satisfied with something that I've only done in several hours. But this will be one of my really wise choices to be made, I love the way they teach, which is mainly based on building your portfolio and giving you much more opportunities to see what can be done with your creativity. :)

PS: I was maddened by somebody's forgetfulness, or ignorance when he seemed like he didn't care about my birthday tomorrow :S 

Chinese new year parade...(2nd of Feb)

It was all planned until we found out that we arrived there too early. He then led me to play pool for two hours, and I was taught how to play proper pool for several times. Not to mention that I still need a lot of practices. More than a lot. I wish I could have started something much earlier, then I should be a pro like him now lol

The pre-parade was already so fun to watch once a group of people dressed as tall horses amusingly doing cool poses and making people laugh. It was a great idea to sit at the front anyways or else it would have been quite a hard time for me to watch the whole parade with giant people standing in front of me and blocking my vision. Panpan hugged me behind as a shelter of my tiny body. And I turned around and hugged him back, he handed me his earphone so we could listen to music together. Even with such a small spot to stand with two people, we still had our private time dancing slowly while tightly hugging each other. 

Until then, the parade finally started at 8:30, instead of sharp 8pm. It only lasted for one and a half hours with fancy cars driving through the main street, people from different regions, institutions, some were even from overseas came all the way to this parade, to celebrate our traditional Chinese new year in a variety of stylised  manners. The styles they presented themselves, the formations and patterns when they passed the audience, the costumes they designed to highlight the cheerfulness we shared all together, the atmosphere they brought up with this liveliness within the crowd, were expressively the greatest wishes to every Chinese in Sydney, and those who weren't from Chinese background yet still were able to feel the same as we did. Because everything that came with happiness has no barrier, despite where you are from. 

I took plentiful of photos with my new phone. But I recorded even more because people moved too fast to be captured. After the parade, panpan and I walked to darling harbour but we spent a bit of time staying opposite of the building where it showed the light projections as I demanded to take some photos of it. We then late for the firework. And he bumped into his friends Sonia and Parsh at the end haha

Awesome parade but in my opinion, the year before last was even more awesome >.>

Lastly here are some photos taken during the parade... ENJOY!!! :3
