Musically touched. (27th of September)

I was totally amazed by my friend-Chihiro's post on fb this afternoon. It was the first time ever to hear her voice again after 8 years. Her voice is still so sweet. During the time she was being interviewed in this radio station, she was comfortably talking to this interviewer. The laughter, the Jap style laughter and accent, everything I heard has pulled me back to 10 years ago, when it was the first time I saw her at language school, and the first impression I had from her, as if everything just happened yesterday. She's one of the vocals in her J-pop band. And her band is primarily to promote their Jap culture, including some parts that we might not notice. I went unbearably teary because of all the emotions I had at that moment, even though her voice is quite cheerful in one of her songs there.... :')

PS: Thanks for somebody's recording again...Somebody's voice is so great that he should do his own album imo...Can't wait to go labing with him tomorrow!! It'll be another wonderful day tomorrow :)

Life saver (26th of September)

Firstly, thanks for someone's caring :3 Ahh somebody even spent his precious time looking for the solution to heal my painful left foot, and saying that he'd remind me to ask mum to get me some massage tonight...>3<

The last day before sem break was the most chilling day. Stress free here. No bothers to go to the class. Jokes. Such a good student like me would NOT skip UNLESS I seriously have something more important to deal with, WHICH I always do..So In other words, I do skip lmaoo....Please bear with my blabbering here xD I just felt so high having my Jap seminar in the morning and playing this game with everyone in the class. We moved around asking each other some questions and reported to the tutor in half an hour. Yes, like a survey.

There was no lecture for international security today. I went to my society's stall again to pay for my ticket, as well as to hang around with my group mates there for one hour. Henry, Vincent and Sylvian were all there too. Jamie warmly asked me to sit on her seat as I came. We were sitting together closely talking about what activities and performance they may have next Tuesday in ball. Then we went to grab lunch together at Quad. I paid $8 for Portuguese fried chicken plus the salad which I think it's worth it. Half an hour later as Jamie left for work, I started to feel a bit bored sitting there. CSA peeps came and settled down there right next to us. They were also selling their tickets for OPM. Then this super tall guy came from far away. I didn't recognize that's my former tutor til he came close. I was really surprised to see him here looking after the CSA stall too lol...I've never seen him again ever since last time we both were on the same train...

Oh and thanks for Tao's laptop or else I would be doomed....Jap article was due in several hours yet I still haven't started. Besides, I couldn't add Jap language from school computer. I immediately asked Tao to come over to lend me his laptop for 2 hours>3< Two hours later as I finished the composition and posted online, I asked him to come back. We went for dinner(not exactly a dinner) at the food court. It was a fun thing to tell him about the whole process of my video making while chewing my food. In return, he told me something about workout and such. We didn't do much but pure talking for almost 2 hours there. At 4ish, we both headed back to the main library. He stayed there with me for another half an hour or so before he went to gym at 5. He said he felt a bit bored there so I gave my media blog for him to read. Someone was enjoying reading it so much ey :3

Labing the second time (25th of September)

Hello there...I've been fixing my video again for (I don't know how many times by now)....

I took everyone's advice in making it EVEN BETTER. So this is not something surprising to know if I tell you that I was late for my uni class for half an hour because of this. Oh and there is this one thing exciting to find out is that Jim and I are not just from the same city!!! and not just from the same area!!! BUT ALSO FROM THE SAME PRIMARY SCHOOL!!! O.M.G!!! this super small world!!! OMG AGAIN....LE FEEL when we both found out each other came from the same primary. Carson and Tia were laughing at how AIT brought us together lol as if this is sort of a primary school peeps gathering. After that, we started reminiscing our primary school life, friends, and teachers we used to have. Though we weren't from the same year, some of the iconic places and people were the ones that both of us shared SO MUCH in common...

*omg repeated....* Just OMG....Never have I met anyone from my primary during all this time I stay in Australia...

Anyways, I went back to uni for the last one hour of lecture, and waiting for Tao to take me to this lab again. I couldn't stay for an hour because he was late for 10 minutes as he just finished his workout before that. He got me some food and we stayed at his seminar room to chat for a bit. He felt glad that I've found my primary school mate this afternoon. Later he asked me to show him my video, the final version at his lab. And I also showed him the conversation between my executives and I as something was mentioned. That was a great chill out after a day of work and stress. He has always been a great friend supporting me here. Even waiting for the bus with me back to central, and asked if I was back home safe for a few times when I didn't get to reply him instantly. Oh but yes, he could be so mean sometimes by teasing me how the child's parents have been treating him so nice for giving him a lift every week to their house...>3< Oh yes, I'm talking about tutoring here of course...I just wish that Calvin's family can move to Arncliffe asap so that I don't need to take 2 hours to travel back and forth >.>

PS: I twisted my left foot for some reason when I got up from the seat >3< I have no idea what caused that, but it just did... :( So I slowly walked back home in pain T3T

PS1: Failed to send my video file the first time. Attempted to send it again the second time to all of my group mates and executives, Tao and panpan. They all said it's good, except that my vice president-Lucia once again pointed out that Kaki's part is a bit fast. But I indirectly rejected them by saying that I wouldn't go AIT tomorrow. 

PS2: Someone was being so careless accidentally pouring boiled water which hurt his own tongue....be careful next time la owner~Someone is a scorpio btw, haha one of the toughest that I'm not good at dealing with...>.>

PS3: Thanks for the invite Nan, but I'm too scared to watch Annabelle with you guys in the cinema lol...I don't want to get myself a nightmare afterwards, so forgive my absence lol... 

Perfectionists there.. (24th of September)

I have become super cautious with everyone around me in any public places after all these articles of terrorists act released. Even when I was walking to AIT in the morning right after I got off from Central....

Once again, I was the last one to leave AIT because of the video. I spent most of my time at AIT just for that. But I didn't know that Lucia and Liwen would be that pickish before showing it to them. I also asked Pai, the former graphic designer to give me some suggestions with my video, she only pointed out 2 minor things I needed to change. Unlike Lucia and Liwen, who listed out up to 10+ really really minor things because they wanted it to be absolutely perfect. I was a bit offended after reading big chunk of messages from them. I got really upset as I've dedicated heaps of time for this video, yet some people still had that much of requirements. I mean, I do accept people's constructive feedback, but can't they think of how others would feel by ordering them to delete this and that? :(

 

Half an hour later, Nikki appeared and defended me by saying how pickish they are. She told them just make some major changes instead while private talking to me not to be upset, since they've always been what she called them as her 'toughest customers'...I felt really thankful for my director, the one and only that supported me at that moment. Later, I also sent Tao my video. He comforted me the whole night asking me not to be upset because my work is indeed awesome, but some people could be the perfectionists whom want it to be even better. He then shared his past experiences with me, some similar things happened to him occasionally as he's doing research. Thanks for Tao's encouragement and all. Sleep tight..

Labing labing (23rd of September)

My owner had to be awaken by his alarm again this morning at 7:30ish. He's been like my travelling buddy these days accompanying me til I get to uni. We were sort of talking about physical appearance and such. We didn't really stop talking though I arrived to my Jap tut til he found out that I started to reply slowly.

In jap tut, I was pairing up with this guy called June, who seemed like he wanted to make friend with me as he tried to be friendly by talking about my accessories such as my fork ring when we were doing a serious conversation>.> Later, I became his kanji sensei teaching him how to write the ones he has difficulty with. He and a few other friends in Jap walked me to the main library after Jap tut finished. Thinking about how early it was, I walked back down to the quad and helped out my society's stall for an hour. Within that one hour, I made a few new friends there. There is this guy doing his master degree in electrical engineering who seems quite talkative talking to me for almost 40 minutes while doing his work. We soon added each other's fb and wechat.

Going back to the main library to study for a few hours, including that 5 sets of questions for my media course that I've always been thinking that's a part of our group work. I then posted my two questions on our group discussion forum, and found out that's actually individual work. hahaha I then self-mockingly talked to Taffy and Angela haha...>.>

A few hours passed, Tao finally finished his experiment at 5:30 which we were planning to meet up. He took me to this Thai restaurant nearby to have our dinner. (took us 20 minutes to walk there) I seriously wouldn't think you can use 'close' to describe how far it's located at. We are pretty much thinking alike in a way that we both don't like wasting money on getting the newest gadgets and following the trend. And we had some great laugh while having Thai food. I bet I was on drug or some sort, to the point that I couldn't stop laughing for almost 20 minutes. There was no reason I could laugh for that long, nor I knew what I was laughing at really...

After dinner, we had to walk back to the campus for another 20 minutes. On our way back, he showed me this place where he wanted to go, and asked if I wanted to join him for 1 or 2 days. Just like the Japan trip he invited, the one we wanted to go together, it would be so great if we can explore somewhere together. Btw, we saw this car accident happen where we were close to the campus. Everything was lively til we saw such a tragic incident where we went silent for 10 seconds not knowing what to say. All in a sudden I was close to trip over, we then both laughed again at how silly I was.

The highlight of my day was when I finally had this chance to get into a lab ever in my life. Thanks for Tao's kindness leading me to his lab where everything seems so new to me inside. My labing experience was greater than great. I stayed there for another half an hour waiting for Tao, this pro to introduce me with all these machines and some basic process in experimenting. I would have been so contented staying at such a place no matter how much Tao has been telling me it's seriously not fun. I didn't jump up and down like a kiddo, instead, I took quite a few photos of the machines that I can't even name what they are. He showed me these two rooms for metal cutting or some sort, as well as turned on this microscope thingy to show me how it helps them to magnify small objects when resembling the metals. It must be an amusing scenario for him to see a girl that is this interested in what he's doing. I saw him smiling at me as he was smiling at a child..>.> He does treat me like a child as he patted on my head afterwards.

Oh...I can't wait to receive my owner's recordings every week. Our exchange plan has been going so well these days... :) Thanks for liking my voice too!!

Spiritual companionship (22nd of September)

Human alarm woke this person up again at 6:50. He said he still wanted to sleep in for a bit and asking me to  wake him up 20 minutes later but no later than 8am, or else he couldn't get to uni by 9am and print out my stuff. In the early morning, I was so lucky still having a seat to rest in my long trip to uni. Somebody was mean enough to name me a meatpie, after I told him how crowded it was in the train (actually I called myself one but then again, he started to call me that..>.>) So a few minutes wait til he appeared and gave me 15 pages of print out. Thanks a lot these days for helping me to print out stuff, even though it was so early for you to wake up for that lool....But you are such a great friend who shows a lot of caring...

I felt god damn happy after I finally finished my presentation in that one hour with my group mates. That was really a last minute work as we were still working on our slides half an hour before the class started. Lucky that we still got everything done on time. I couldn't wait to tell Tao how happy I was, even when I was running to upper campus to attend my Jap lecture. Later I found that I left my water bottle in that media room in ASB...It was such a mixed emotion having this happiness from finishing my presentation while with this sadness that I probably would lose my water bottle if I didn't go back to get it before someone took it...But since I was having my Jap lecture, I couldn't be bothered to go all the way back til 2 hours later. Tao was once again, always been there with me no matter what. I was sort of touched when he said he was going to take a nap once he got home. However, knowing that I was a bit unhappy that I left my thingy somewhere, he had been waiting for me for 2 hours straight and cheering me up at the same time. Thanks for his luck, as he said, I'm a lucky one that my bottle would stay there silently to wait for its owner to claim it back :) Though it was an awkward moment 'breaking in' a class when they were having a lesson...The asian teacher looked at me weirdly and students were all paused for 10 seconds...I excused myself to get the bottle from where I left...>.>

Nothing much after that. I had my chicken nann wrap and headed to my third class for today. The topic was pretty comprehensible so I didn't spend too much time doing the readings. We were also told that we wouldn't be having our tut til week 11 due to the public holiday-labour day. But no, it doesn't mean we would be totally free. Instead of having a carefree holidays, we've got some work to do too. The replacement tasks and readings...are compulsory... 

Coming back home so early today because I was damn sleepy. But when I actually got back, I became super awake =3=...

The followings are what I did after I got home

• a photo taken and uploaded on wechat, to show how stress free I am now after the interaction test and presentation....HORRAY....>3<
• Telling Jamie that I still haven't got any videos from Kaki yet. She said due to Kaki has two presentations coming up tomorrow, she couldn't spare any time to record herself til wed...So I have to wait..
• good news and bad news: Got a D for my AIT course, got a pass for my media course...sighh...
• Reading some news, searching up some songs...recording for a bit...
• Revising Jap...

Right... I haven't done my Jap homework yet>.>  BYEBYE FOR NOW...  

Passive group members (21st of September)

Another day working on my presentation whilst still waiting for my other group members' replies...You know, I didn't want to overwrite others' contents so I had wait for their decision to what part they will take...They didn't reply til 3 or 4ish though. But lucky that I've been researching additional contents beforehand just to ensure I've done enough of preparation...It would be the worst scenario if you run out of things to say during presentation.

So I told her about my group members for the presentation this time seem really passive. Nobody was willing to contribute to our group work til I said something=3=...And I've been waiting, waiting and waiting, praying, praying and praying to have their replies for the entire day...

I talked to my aunt and cousin for half an hour tonight. It would be fun if we could talk more, but I got to get back to my work now....Good luck for my presentation tomorrow morning...

PS: Last minute work is seriously not cool...
