Take the lead (18th of April)

wait, wait, wait, more waiting time for the two cabinets to come

no specific time was given by the store lady

Pure luck for being called at sharp 12 though

Too much for two women to carry them up to the third floor though

we could only carry the small cabinet home

yet that has already made us sweaty like a pig

We really did need some help from somebody

she then called her bf...lucky he didn't go to work today

he immediately came half an hour later

three of us carried the shoe cabinet together

he was at the back pushing it up

while she and I were at the front

..........

sorting out all the books soon after the cabinets were all home
I've never noticed how many papers I put aside
and that some have been there for ages un-used
Some should have been disposed yet I still haven't
some newspapers were from couple years ago too..
and I also found those 7 diaries like...boom...
Le feels I had as I was reading them today...
which brought me back with too much memories...

I really would be moved by those little acts of kindness on public transport
a couple oldies got on board, more than 10 people gave up seats
including me who was at the front seat
but at the same time
another lady saw me standing there, squeezing by people around
she gave up hers to me :)

ok...
lab sesh
doing my work as in trying to split the work for the group presentation
this is what you call
step in at a critical moment
as taking the lead
I did it again
just by reading a lot of info
also based on all the written contents from each of our doc
I finally found a way to make all that to a coherent order to present
they like the format as I sent on group
now I see why one has to be a leader in a group
to drive the rest to do something
because majority people could be really passive
esp when one isn't being assigned to do anything

anyways
engineering people are just...so fussy in things
they mind every little thing they see, hear and feel lol
it could be true that having the attempt to correct people
like that grammar nazi freak maniac picking people all the time when they speak
as I said
dar dar might be the most interesting out of the most boring group of people
lol totally joking
dar dar you are cool lol
funny in a way
cool to be a nerd haha

PS: trackwork + rainy
mum was waiting for me at the station with the umbrella
because she remembered I didn't bring mine
how cute...my caring mum :3
PS1: so I delegate PH task to Patricia and Yuexing
hopefully either of them is able to get it done asap~

After effects has my love (17th of April)

So much fun learning 'after effects' in the class

I couldn't explain how much excitement I got from trying all those techniques

even for typography, the letters, the words, any elements could be remade and edited to a new view beyond the unity itself

like you wouldn't think of combining the range selector and the opacity together

to create a real feel of attacker-drop-down-like-ninja-ish letters

the emergence of this effect really has surprised me so much

and the path thing really did its trick

I couldn't hold that excitement appeared on my face

and I swear that I have to download it in my leisure

coming back home to keep reading my genec readings for the quiz

was banal should I say

compare to what I did earlier in the morning 

this is le killing soul

but yes, thanks for Diana's suggestion on the two pages of my design

I edited the grid and the rest of the surrounding elements

to make them look neat, nice, and full of liveness

plus following the rule of grid

we finally did it perfectly

and I submitted much earlier than I expected

except that Nelson didn't know what google drive is

so I gotta share with him on email through this link

anyways

After effects is really my thing

it gives me lots of motivation to make even better videos

Imma gonna master this software any sooner I swear :)

Happy for the peak productivity (16th of April)

Not sure if that was pure luck or what

I assumed the answer for the attendance quiz and got it right

so though I didn't attend it 

I still had my own way to sign the attendance lol

Me happy for getting so productive doing all I planned

the online group work

the readings etc for the sake of planning my research essay ahead

I had trouble looking for one single aspect to start with it

which is in relation to the conceptual 'part-whole-relationship'

because the film I chose wasn't really that having anything to do with this core concept

I've been worrying it so much these days

til today when I was thinking of doing some research of the film again

looking at it from a visual aspect, such as the settings and the characters

the hidden surroundings etc

that I finally had some thoughts on using it as one of the key points for my analysis

Anyways...

the ringu (1998) wasn't that scary

and the plot proceeds slowly

dar dar almost felt bored and fell asleep..

Towards the really end of the day staying at his house

I was busy with my AIT design

at first, I lost every sense of aesthetic judgement to think of what to put in my third page

til I calmed down, and got myself into it once again

having all that re-arrangement of the elements

gathering sources and asking suggestions from dar dar

the design was finally done

time to go home, yet his pc update caused my missing bus

and that I had to catch the next one..

Sean was just right there as we walked out of his house

I didn't get to react that was him

they had a chat for a good 5 minutes at the door

.........

seeing him once again while we were waiting for the bus

but you know what...

we missed the bus again for being ignored by the bus driver as the bus came..==

three of us walked to the bus stop at the main gate

Sean urged him to call the owner of the new house again

telling her that they agree to move in...

Sean and I got on the same bus

no awkwardness

we kept on talking about variety of things

his gf, what he's been doing for work and studies

the new house, my studies, my thought to apply for honour or master etc

were mentioned

that was a good talk, and also the first talk with him

coming back home

continued to do the remaining work for my assignment

changed a bit of contents

started writing that 500 words

hopefully I am right..

500 words are only for the group, but not individual work

or else, I gotta help him out with that tomorrow

another sleep deprived night

however, I was happy to get everything done before going to sleep

life should be like this, you don't leave things for tomorrow that are supposedly  done by today...

Unexpectedness (15th of April)

My bloody annoying morning started with that series of annoying phone calls made for ATO

I was asked to do a non-lodgement online

because I wasn't authorized to report it on her behalf

but then, online application told me that I needed to ring up for a profile update

once I clicked on the submission button...

so I called them again, listening to a million times of repetitive systematic voice

heaps of options within a long waiting time, with my gradually lost patience

pressing the wrong buttons at times and re-called for multiple times...

I had no idea why they needed so many voice confirmation, all these retarded redtape for

as if they were trying to stop you from getting access

and telling you that keep away from us

we, the operators do not want to answer your damn phone calls

mind your own business

if that's a small matter, we do not want to deal with any of them, but the machines will hold onto all the responsibilities from us...

like seriously....it was truly not getting anywhere....

so I ended up having her to talk to the interpreter instead

that way, was much faster to end this....

ok....so hmmmm

the rest of the afternoon I was working on my AIT assignment that's due on Friday

I ended up to design on the cover of the film 'Inception'

in which to create the mystery I wanted it to be

the critic reviews were written by me

because I don't want to take even more time to do the references

up to the third page where I was planning to write about the director's interview

I lost that bit of aspiration after such a long time of thinking something creative

Diana said, we had to keep everything consistent in a way

not just to get things all creative

but also to make fonts and layout fit to one another

because the unity made up from the different combinations

is more important than whatsoever

And thank goodness

though I didn't get my last page done

I, after shower, started with the fourth task I gotta do for the day

which was the reading for my group presentation

I quickly typed all the key points I thought would be useful from that 20 pages of reading within an hour

such a peak productivity I had...

like I could feel that my fingers were nimble over the keyboards

Lastly before ending the post...

Mum and I didn't know snow ball has passed away a few months ago...

I bet that uncle must have been so sad for losing a dog that have been with him for more than 10 years

we all, will miss him...

I was sad too, as I heard it for his loss...

I mean...snow ball has been such a good boy serving his owners well

he's been so fun, loving, and a spiritual companion with my cousin's family :(

Life is really too short to react towards the unexpectedness....

Ridiculously amusing (14th of April)

We watched that beginning and ending scenes to make the stark contrast from every aspect we could see

Helen is such a good tutor, having all the contents covered from the tut within that one hour

the way she explained it succinctly yet you wouldn't feel lack of important or had missed anything

going back to dar dar's

where we both watched another episode of that variety show

later we were in that chatting mode in which I started to get so crazy than ever

I told him about the things I learned from the lecture

with his ongoing molestation

we found it so much fun laughing together

and getting so cray cray together

he likes me being like a douchebag for falling like a crab at the bedside

I like that too...

just as every time we are together

I would find the time runs out in the blink of an eye

sorry that I couldn't express something any clearer hahaha

me just so out of logic sometimes haha

but pretty thanks for appraising my beautiful complexion

also walking me again, to the bus stop :)

oh and about the committee meeting tomorrow...

not going to sacrifice that over something I see as more important than that

prioritizing things are indeed important

so yeh...sorry peeps...~

Lost... (13th of April)

• My beautiful friend Doris came to the front and we talked for a bit after lecture finished
• I really like today's lecturer who could bring fun to that teaching environment
• group meeting was ok-ish: my group members contributed a lot to make up our structure of the presentation. The split of work would further discuss online. Now we need to do a general reading of our own and make some points to each of the concept 
• The lunch break before that was the accompanying with my dear dar dar via wechat. He told me how inconvenient he thought his new house would have been without its single window...
• I guess I really have to study for 3060 course. Our presentation is next Monday, means that we wouldn't have much time left to do the preparation. I am starting to worry about all that come together within the same week, including my AIT assignment and genec.. I didn't really talk much during the discussion but kept on writing everything I heard from the tutor, and everyone else
• Going to stay home just for the two items delivery from the furniture store...There is no given time for the delivery and hence, I had no idea when they would be coming...Been consulting the price, delivery price and all via phone with that lady on the other end because mum asked me to do it....
• staying for another a few hours at dar dar's house
• we watched the variety show together while he was having his dinner...
• I was constantly called cute for almost every movement I had...especially when I couldn't look myself into the mirror and blame it placed it too high....
• down down down down hill..........continuously picking myself up.... a lost feeling is not yet gone...

Last day of sem break :( (12th of April)

Before crossing the road my friend Marek bumped into me

The very last time I saw him was when we went to this property selling thingy

I've never seen him again since then

this certain period of non contact has soon put us in that moment of decent amount of sharing

from him, I was told that he's soon going back to HK for his internship

his graduation would be delayed for another year when he comes back

not sure of whether he would stay here for good

I wish him all the best with his life anyways

Happy that we talked a lot on the bus 

I told him so much about movie production and such

he was there paying so much attention and asked couple questions

I could felt that I was in that ecstasy of explaining things

as if that excitement was ignited by a moment of resonance

.................

Another day with dar dar staying at lab

without the access to lab because of the overdue payment

he asked me to put a pile of paper at the door to stuck it open

For some time

I helped him with chapter 1

to get the ultimate version with the second correction

We worked on sentences together...

Thanks fattie's call

same as per usual

casual talk between us about our recent life etc

as I made some promises to keep myself in a state of good health

I have to sleep earlier now...

night night world...

PS: I feel that the growing dislike towards uni life has become stronger than ever

is just a personal thought from having pressures, being unsatisfied and the mix of negative emotion...
