Welcome BBQ (1st of August)

I didn't expect to get on the same tram right on time
lucky I ran up to the light rail station as I alight from the train
so yes, Jacq was there waiting for me the whole time
and I didn't let her down
awesome, my day started with an accident
a good accident

7 stations away from Central where Pirrama Park is
we got off from there
everyone was here
like Jasmine, Wen, Christie and the rest were all there
I was walking with Jasmine and Wen at the back
chit chatting them some recent discoveries
they told me back with some dark secrets

a few minutes arriving to that BBQ area
everyone was there to start socialising
I was dragged by Bea whom asked me not to take pic of Jono for some reason
and I saw Yvonne and the rest
they signalled me to go to them
I was happily being hugged by those girls
having them greeting me warmly
Then I got to know some peeps from Yvonne
she introduced me to several others such as Fanny
a girl that is highly energetic to talk with
someone that is great to know of as a friend
because she seems maturer than those at her age
and funny too, a humorous type you'd never forget...

almost getting a bit of uneasy when that awkwardness came
That is the time you gotta look for new group to talk to
so I met quite a few new groups there
approached them and striking up conversations

Games, are undoubtedly creative
especially the 'pass it on' one
in which it couldn't be any more entertaining
the hysterically hilarious performance reveals a word
and this message goes quite misleading at the very end
and it ends up with something that is far from what it originally is
because the people in the middle copy the wrong actions or produce extra actions somehow
but that is what makes the game funnier than ever
you have no idea where this game will go wrong as the message is encoded and decoded by different people
I recalled there was once where our team was trying to deliver the word 'fish'
someone in the middle was trying to think so he actually did the thinking pose while he was thinking
and guess what
the next person thought that was a part of the demonstration
so he did the same to show the next person 
because of that extra bit
the whole team had no idea what it really is....
the last person was more than confused
during that whole time of passing on from one to another
everyone cracked up
.....

Other games like that running and posing
the red light green light in which people got to stop running, and pose like what they were asked
in order to stay alive
if not, they'll be eliminated
right on spot, I captured all those awkwardly amateur posing with my camera

Anyways I felt glad to talk to that many people in just one day
this is why people say you gotta try to go out and socialise a bit in a big gathering
to get as more connections as you can
which I did, as I talked to Joyce, the huahua girl
I talked to her a lot, and it was mostly about Internship
Fanny too, as I mentioned a bit earlier
also to Millie, the late comer
whom only arrived at 1-ish lol
I really like to be with Millie as we got a lot to share...
Kevin too, the talkative but thought-provoking guy from Events
who told me a lot from his life
even when we got back to Central
Millie, him and I still stayed there for 15 minutes just for talking about hobbies and such
before 5 minutes of train departing
we were still up to some hot topics in life...
Oh and Miles too
who I invited to come
did come
I was thinking he might not take my invitation seriously as it was a last minute invite
but he did, which I was truly happy to see his face again after a long time
we talked through so much about jobs
his current company
my degree and his urge me to go find some internship before I graduate
a lot to catch up with this guy
same to how much he loves to join us
like he said, he'd really love to do something for our society
and share that fun as though he's a part of it
he's getting tired from his job
and he needs some time to have some fun with people at his age...
......

Lastly
Welcome BBQ was worth to go
I didn't regret to spend my whole Saturday on this event :)

PS: dearest was sick...like real sick
the whole night was to take care of her
while busy working on my own thing
I was asked to get her water, bowl
assist her to go to the kitchen and toilet
hand over something for her
illness can really make a person become who she isn't
PS1: le couple talk at late night til 2am...
No drama there
but more of a feeling-before-confess-the-truth thing
I was thinking as that period of passion is gone
the relo will soon be gone...
never does anyone realise how important to keep passion between couples
and what's the most vital component to keep two people fall for each other
the love, the strong urge to see or talk to each other
and I truly feel...it's gradually ending....

G'day.. (31st of July)

Aha...my whole day was spent on PnD vine video
the creepy version of Leona running towards the door, jittering the handle and failed to open the door, comes with a hand suddenly banging the glass
As the sound effects I added was way too creepy
even I was scared off when sound was on
the 7 awesome scary sounds made by audacity do help to create such an impact
they are as though coming out from the headphones
yes, I mean, the monstrous whispering had sent the chill down my spine

Finishing off the video
next up to where I started my self-taught session of Maya
a few videos watched in an hour
and I already was taught with most of the basic tools
now I'm able to make some basic models I suppose
Which is a big leap in a fast-track learning sesh
My aim is to master Maya and Nuke at the same time
before I make myself confident enough to apply for RSP

Flashback: Lots of recordings for the song 'See you again'
finally I got my most perfect recording out of 50+ times hahaa
even I smile to my own efforts :)

Good news: Receiving email from Vhub like finally
I can't wait to interview with them
though I personally prefer one on one interview (not the group one)
But yes, I did sense that it'll be competitive with the look of the schedule
as I clicked in, and saw there are already 8 participants have filled in the form
which means, there will be more since I also do what they told me to do once I got the email
well...it's just a matter of trying
try first, think later :)

Vine filming (30th of July)

Lots of fun sharing my recent life with Andy
someone that I couldn't recognise at the very start
honestly, he couldn't recognise me either
til I found him familiar somehow
and called out his name
...........

I was all cool with us exchanging our knowledge in software
he said how he couldn't handle well with AE in the beginning
and I told him how I've learned Nuke these days
in an attempt to get into film industry
like I haven't told someone that much for so long
he was a great listener anyways
and he introduced his friend Joanna to me after class too
oh and Helen was away
so a new teacher has replaced her
she sounds way funnier than Helen
I guess the way she teaches tend to be more interactive by asking students' opinions
than her talking alone while flipping slides

Filming was successful...
even we had made ourselves scared when the hand banging on the glass..
nice acting, nice shooting
we tried more than 10 times just for one shot
all the timing is quite critical to build up the atmosphere
and the lighting too, to adjust it right at an angle where we don't reveal too much information
and keeping the whole thing intense..

anyways although they didn't use my design this time
instead Pat's one was liked by more people
hence she had her chance to get all the posters, flyers, wristband done in a day
like hell busy for her to do everything alone
Maybe I was a bit unhappy in the first time of not feeling to be accepted from the group
even when shooting the video
I felt a bit left out at some points
not to mention how bad that is after reading 100+ messages from that FB group
my name was mentioned for more than 10 times by a few people
in particular, Bar was the one giving out harsh comments..

Needless to say
I went from happy to a bit unhappy again
But I still tried to hold back my negative emotions in front of dar dar
we talked to each other happily in Eng again
for the very first time after almost half a year
he explained, I listened
I became a more talkative one telling him my day
some funny facts were to be shared

Maybe the post was right
keeping yourself hell busy is the best way to reduce the times to go depressed
But ain't I always busy?
Or I'm just not busy enough?

... (29th of July)

Career expo hmmm...
I was just going there to walk around with somebody
to check out whether they provide relatable positions...
and the answer is no....
but I did have a good talk with one of the representatives there from Accenture
also found out that Challenger is an insurance company...

night night time again
watching variety show with dar dar
on my way home
he told me he was asked to go discussing business issues with his friend
well, I wish he would gain something from the talk :)

Lesson learned (28th of July)

Looking after the stall has made me happier because I gotta meet new members
and reconnect with the old ones
It was awkward in the beginning as I arrived
two volunteers asked whether I would like to join PH
I told them I'm le director of the society
they sorta gave me this dumbfounded face and pointed me at where the stall was
I walked towards it
a guy was looking at me and asking if I would like to join the society
I was thinking that it should be the PH stall from where they were standing
I then once again said I worked for the society as a director
that moment froze for more than 10 seconds til I realised went to the wrong stall
of not knowing PH stall was actually sharing the booth with Oxfam society...
after that awkwardness from a mistake I made
I tried to break the ice by taking a quiz from them lmao

anyhow I talked to two Kevin(s) a lot
the fundraising and events ones
also to Millie whom I just found out she's at the same age as me
no wonder we feel so close
like we both think that we are already out of that age to do crazy things
we are getting old
we talked about sleeping patterns and qualities
jobs and all
these are showing that we care more for life than fun lol...
btw thanks for that voucher Millie

I've been thinking a lot for career expo and all
hence before I went to sleep
I spent some time planning out things I'd do in steps
which I kind of confuse myself in a way
because now PH promotions, Vhub, career expo, the attempt to apply for internship
my wish to go RSP by learning Nuke or internship from AIT
just everything which I try to make myself progress faster and more valuable
has made me feel overwhelmed...
but thanks for dar dar's encouragement
I truly was moved by the advice he has given
like how I should be clearer to what I want
and not to be sidetracked by doing something which won't help with my career much
I learned, and I still am learning....
I'm really appreciated, like really

Vine video (27th of July)

无课
于是去了某猪家若干小时
耍了脾气
因为某些事
还睡了一会
醒时发现该去meeting的时间已过5分钟
冲动,还忘了充电话,另外还敲了一下手指头
就我这鲁莽的个性
还有粗心
使我已不知道东南西北。。

不过video making还是蛮成功的
Patricia他们的active和幽默
尤其是Christie那小家伙的风趣
让整个group活跃了起来
我突然感觉我与团员们近了
最后决定去old main拍的时候
走廊里笑声不断
因为有了这帮伙伴们的参与
我变得开朗了许多
她们给我很多意见
大家也交换了各自的想法
在拍的过程中还出现了不少笑话
我们拍的6秒诠释的就是一种恐怖的气氛
然后瞬间升温到观众能被紧紧的抓住的那种情节
那就是成功了
Jacq她们的积极性和那蠕动的小手不禁让我不寒而栗

完事后
我去了炭先生买了10串肉串
跟那收钱的讨价了一下下
因为他们本来规定是10串都得是同一种肉串而不是我的Mix
不过幸好我睿智
不然最后就省不了那一块钱。。

又是欢声笑语的一晚上
因为拍了video后实在太High
我整个人都提神了
一边看Video一边还会跟某猪聊聊闲事
跟他说了一下我们的vine video
分享了我的一些些想法
好吧。。。我真希望每天能这样该多好
你说是吧?
这才是我想要的快乐。。

Random n+ (26th of July)

周日又是family gathering的时间
本来打算帮dar猪搬东西的
去到才知道那店铺已关门大吉
后来嘛
我们去了food court吃了个饭
边吃边讨论着接着去哪high
由于时间的关系
我们想去的地点没有一个实现
因为车程和时间的问题
我们最后决定返回他家附近吃串烧
谁知道那家店没开。。
meet fresh也没开
一切的一切
碰巧的
都。没。开!

所以又看了一个晚上的amazing race
还是那么的lively
看那节目总是欢声笑语不断
虽然我总在情绪化中经历着无数的ups and downs
回家的时候还伴随着一丝丝莫名的悲凉
但突然在上火车的那一刻整个人提神了
告诉了自己要稳定情绪
还有建立自信和信服自己要掌握该有的时间
做该做的事情
我快速的回了一大堆等着我回的短信wechat and fb messages
然后嘛。。
就没有然后了
大概是生怕明天第一天上课表现得不好
所以今晚11点半就去睡了
该是改变一些习惯的时候了
嗯。。。
