Eat Pray Love

2010-10-29T00:00:00.004+11:00

Eat Pray Love.

Some kind of food for thought, but that doesn't mean i am recommending this to you... it's a bit ehhh, what you call that... boring.

and i fell asleep in the middle part. No, i didnt mean climax. I really mean the MIDDLE part. The fact that its around half way through the movie clearly DID NOT mean that we're now at the climax of the story. Bam. yeah SURPRISE. Is it me or that happen to everyone else (or at least someone else) that the india part was meaningless. taking into the consideration that i can still comprehend (very clearly) whats going on the third part when i woke up?

anyway... guess you must be wondering whats with my first sentence and my following all-so-boring attitude. okay. the thing you have to understand about me and hence this movie is that,
julia roberts did what i had been wanting to do but havent got the gut (and money) to do so (yet). well probly plus wrong timing and minus i do not really wish for the divorce part thank you very much. Leave everything behind and travel to foreign countries... don't you think reading the sentence sounded awesome already?

well.. i guess this is all quite girly and dreamy, and a bit of irrational i gotta admit... leaving a great man for stoopid reason and go travel and discover your true innerself and whatnot. right? but i guess i just gotta buy this and swallow this, aint to be immersed into something that aren't gonna or under very rare circumstance that it will happen, the fun of being in a cinema? let go of your logic your comprehension your conception... just for a wee bit and a while ;))

ok lah its getting late... after all this babbles! just gonna end this post with a quote that makes me think and feels like blogging instantly once its said.

"To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced life." — Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love
probly gonna blog bout this next time if i m not getting too lazy to think.

thanks for reading. and i mean it. Thanks.

Journal

2010-09-02T20:56:00.004+10:00

Start to doubt which direction i am heading to in this blog as I read through. I wasn't being totally open and honest with my thinking and feelings here and neither it's a directory or sharing blog. Not that I was lying or hiding anything, it's just that, sometimes, you know.. You know what I am talking about, bloggers. Don't you.

Privacy and stuff. Perception and stuff.

And you know, people are, well, judgemental. Stop living in denial, I mean, that's really normal. You do, even if you don't mean to sometimes. haha (awkward laugh huh)

Internal debating whether to start to start a physical journal of my own, in PAPERS. Real papers.

~ those really pretty vintage journals in cursive with sepia or bnw photos comes to my mind ~

Paper scissor rocks. PAPER wins.

but was too afraid it is just gonna ends up die out of attention hunger. They seriously need tonnes of words feed and photos supply, and honesty and and and TIME for sure. And you know how long do you (or COULD YOU) spend sittting in fronta your desk writing properly. Urban disease. Bet you'd rather check your facebook.

Me too.

But i really want something that i could read, and smile in the future.

even though i might not be all ' oh. those good old times', but i will at least smile and say ' ah, silly me. ' haha.

Memory, aint thou the best thing.

was it last year or something i somehow managed to find my old diary that RIP when i was Form 2. amazing, right. Spent hours reading it, and i enjoyed every moment of it no matter how silly and crappy those words are. 'Cause i remembered why i wrote them, And I am glad that it forms part of me.

Anyway, journal or no journal, this blog remains. It might just go change some fashion and head towards some new different direction.

Jap quiz tomorrow.
and Airplanes is love.

Surpriseee...

New layout for the blog!

Guess the legibility is a bit low, right. thanks, default background!!
Been wanting to learn html and css but it seems that they aren't being too friendly to me. They probably hate girls.

Anyway, still under construction afterall. Hope I would come up with a better layout soon.

Who are you

2010-08-18T12:45:00.004+10:00

I wonder who are these random chinese named 'people' ( decided to assume so to make myself happier, they might be bot afterall) commented brainlessly here. Constructive comment often made my day but PLEASE DO NOT if you weren't reading.

Spring

2010-08-15T17:26:00.003+10:00

Thought this might be a pretty good picture that i've got recently (with a compact), given that it's not touched up at all. Not at all impressive, but i like it. For my love for spring?

Why is it so gloomy out there?

Today

2010-08-05T18:45:00.004+10:00

Which reminds me :

「P」 : So.. You have facebook?
Me : Erm, yeah.
「P」 : So.. I type in 'Moon' to find you?
Me : Erm, yeah. (whatt.)
「P」 : Ohhh... You actually put your nickname as your facebook name. HAHAHA.
Me : (!!) Nooo.. that's my REAL NAME.

*「P」 - a new friend that i made in uni

This was a while ago, but it cames fresh to my mind today.

If you just met me, please do not mind me by saying ' My name is Siew Moon, but you can call me 'Moon' '. I know, that is perhaps too long a sentence to answer ' hey you are ?'

'wasting time'

2010-07-30T09:40:00.002+10:00

Found some interesting people who kept whining that they wasted lotsa time and how regretful they are.

You know, it's ok. It's really ok. I like 'wasting time' too, if that's how you call it. But 'wasting time' makes me happy and contended sometimes. No guilt. And it's not like time that are not invested in assignments or jobs should all be categorised as 'wasted'. I might be too young to say this, but i think there are more important things to do, more things that worth your time to be 'wasted' on, than assignments from your ABPL38912743158975 tutor and jobs in a cafe at some alley.

I am the kind of person who is willing to wake up earlier just so that i have more time to 'waste'. Like NOW.

Yeah I like wasting time and I am pround of it. ~~narcisist much huh?~~

Update

2010-07-29T00:49:00.005+10:00

Thought i would be updating the blog more often during the holiday but oh well. thanks to procastination yah, even when it comes to blogging. heh.

kicking the new semester start with no money - TERRIBLE! went overboard shopping in shanghai. but I love love love my new stuff from shanghai! NO REGRET! gotta wait till for summer so i can wear 'em!! and oh i ~~need~~ want a new headband <-- I know that's random and I've absolutely no idea why i wrote that down. reminder?! but i seriously want one. and i can't find a decent one here.

Oh there's a very high chance that i am gonna move next year with a friend!! tryna find a decent apartment with great location, environment, price and ...design (that's more like my concern not ying's i think but still ). Hard. but finger cross, that everything is gonna go well! ~~i want swimming pool and gym.~~

walking on the street today and I haven't run into the person that I thought I am gonna run into. Haven't. Haven't. Haven't. So one day I will. But preeeeeeeeeeease don't let it be too late.
Or could You at least make this person appear just somewhere. Wherever will do, I promise.

Suppose to be reading a play. oh well.

FRINGE and stuff

2010-06-06T17:23:00.004+10:00

got my fringe chopped yesterday. I mean, CHOPED.

brand new me with brand new idiotic looking fringe. ugh.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My fringe was eye prickling (its annoying especially during this critical exam period) and i wanted a change (pretty much girl's purest reason for a haircut) . went to a hairdresser and had it choped off.

I think i looked terrible-ish. This whole chopped off fridge just seems so off on me.

There's a saying, 'time would heal the wound'.
I say: ' Time would heal my fringe'.

please, fringe, grow quicker.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As i mentioned above, i am at this crucially critical exam preparation period but i aint doing the right thing. oh focusing have been really hard these days. what's going on. All i wanted to do (and have been doing the whole day) is really ANYTHING other than studying. omg where is the nerdy me?

じゃ、みなさん、がんばってください。

baby step

2010-05-29T10:49:00.002+10:00

Can't believe how idiotic I was yesterday.

Chance Chance Chance, I just let it go.

Oh whatever.

As a friend of mine said, I haven't been acting like this since the longest time ever. Like a whining baby.

No matter how hard I wanna deny that, I have to admit it. Yes I haven't been feeling like this for a while. A very loooooooooong while.

Some asked why, and it makes me wonders why. And I realise all I could say is IDK.

This feeling thing... , oh well.

Anyway, baby steps comon baby steps. So, teach me patient.

今わ。。。

2010-05-28T00:21:00.004+10:00

Oh oh you know what.

this is really random but i guess that ’high school feeling’ i've been looking for kicks in again.

oh well. じゃね。

I promised this will be the LAST POST of archi crap

2010-05-27T23:46:00.003+10:00

Tomorrow is gonna be the last day of the semester.

Can't believe time flew that fast, just THAT fast, you know. A moment ago it was just the beginning of the sem, and seriously are you kidding, i SURVIVED* thru the sem?

* NOTE: I am not too sure if I SURVIVED the sem, 'cause its clear that I haven't get graded for stuff, and final submission and exam are still ahead of me. but oh well, if you know how an architecture student semester is like, you would probably think SURVIVED is the word.

As you might realised what I wrote in the past few post, I am at the stage of 'where am i heading to in my life?' .

Mid life crisis.

I am 21.

Seriously.

Lets hope finger cross, 21 is not my mid life.

Btw, I realised architect sorta have shorter life span that others do. But well, they might already make every second worth it by staying up thru the night. They doubled their time spent with the life span given.

You might not get it. Lemme explain in simple math.

Ok. Let say this architect A and this clerk B both died at year 40 ( how sad ). Architect A actually use more of his time span than clerk B. So how this works is that:

Clerk B used life time = 40 (yr) x 365 (day) x 16 (active hr per day)= 262800 hrs
architect A used life time = 40(yr) x 365 (day) x 24 (active hr per day)= 350400 hrs

You see how the math works.

Ok enough crap. Thats totally irrelevant to what I was about to say when I start typing in this littlw column.

The fact that i just kinda got done with my final presentation makes me a little crazy. I am not used to have that much capacity in my mind.

Have been thinking bout the life direction stuff as I mentioned a ~~hundred thousands word before~~ . You might think its a little early to think about this, I am still a third year.

Well, it might not be an urgent to solve. It is just that, the thinking and FACT that i mighn't have been improving much or if there is any, from the day i stepped into the uni, is a little frustating and upsetting. Uni is making me stupid (I am seeking for agreement and support for the last sentence, please =)). What have I been doing in uni all these years. All nighters and essays and ~~partying~~ .?

Oh well, but you know what, when i was talking to a friend of mine about how impassionate i am about all this architecture crap, I realised i cannot picture myself in the future other than being an architect. So i guess I am still in afterall. =) POSITVE !

Sometimes life is just...

unpredictable.

What you told me explained my confusion over months. And I am filled with joy and positive momentum, that it eases your mind, and (fyi) it eases mine too.

And as I read what I wrote...

2010-05-06T01:14:00.005+10:00

And as I read what I wrote...

I thought I should be an architectural photographer.

because those are the people that ~~deceive~~ influence my young and innocent mind back then.

and I gotta say it's NOT that I regretted doing architecture. It is just that a lot had been going on.

live love life.

This Archi talk.

2010-05-06T00:14:00.004+10:00

Why did I choose to do architecture in the first place.

why why why.

and i wonder what would I be doing instead if this ~~stupid~~ decision wasnt made.

I didn't choose architecture because it starts with 'A' and thus in the first page of the 'course selection' booklet.

I know I am a bad reader, but Seriously I didn't do that.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Architecture.

It attracted me and never cease to attract me. I loved architecture, and still love architecture.

It is just that, sometimes... I realised I didn't love architecture that much that I am prepare and willing to devote my life to it. That doesn't feel right.

Someone told me that s/he envy those that is willing to and are able to dedicate to architecture, even as young as a student.

I told him/ her that I don't, despite the fact that I envy people quite a lot ( and i do mean 'envy' and not similar negative substitute). I just don't see the meaning of this whole lifelessness and stuff, like how you treat your an hour nap as a precious god gifted break that you deserve after staying up for three thousand hours, or a peek on an episode of desperate housewife as the best entertainment ever after spending a week with yellow trace and no other thing.

And that people just have to have something else that they are passionate about.

even if it's dotA.

This is just plain emo crap.

and so, dear archies, no offence if you love your assignments.

" As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You’ll have your heart broken and you’ll break others’ hearts. You’ll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you’ll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you’ve never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone’s hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don’t be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back. "

2010-03-22T00:25:00.003+11:00

I am suppose to be sleeping or studying (not in the mood as usual), but oh well, decided to write some stuff down.

Constantly disturbed recently, i can't concentrate. I am distracted.

Too much to think about, to forget about, and hopefully to forgive.

Let's believe I can.
I know I can.

* i just realised the title is so emo.
it's ok, i am not a 14 yo teenage hiding round a dark corner trying to kill herself. and i believe tomorrow's gonna be a better day. way better.

CAUTION: THIS IS A RANDOM RANT THAT YOU CAN JUST SKIP

2010-03-04T09:06:00.006+11:00

Hey guys! Haven't been here for a while after my Penang trip but well, I am back!

Back to my blog, Back in Melbourne, Back to uni.

This feels real, everything feels real. Time, people, places. They feel real to me. And it's dreadful, I can't face all these. I don't understand how these happened. It was like just 3 months ago I lead an easy life, I feel loved and surrounded, I am all happy and I owned a clear brain, no jealousy no confusion no dillema. The more I thought about it, it feels further, it feels surreal, it feels dreamy, like I had entered a time gap or a blackhole or somethingfor the last few months, I dont know, I don't read sci-fi.

Now that I am back, away far far away from my comfort zone. And these monster of confusion, jealousy and dillema that've been in hibernation for a while pops out gradually. What should I say, what should I do, how should I react, where is my self esteem.

Please stop saying I am independent, please stop saying I am totally happy-go-lucky.

This is overwhelming.

Of course I am happy and I appreciate those lovely words. And I know you're honest.

It's just that you saw only my chirpy cheerful side.

I ain't saying that it's just a facade, and when you start digging and scanning into the wall and column you found all sadness and melancolic. No I ain't saying that.

It's just that I do have my sentimental side.

I laugh a lot, I talk a lot, I scream a lot.

But I think, I cry, and I wishes for the best too.

May be I am just too noisy for you to realised that I do think, Like A LOT.

And you might not believe it (when I am always the one that forgot to bring my sketchbook, pencils and when is my next classs whatsoever), I remembers a lot too.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know, this is a lil personal.

Whatever. I think I'll just publish this. Who cares it bores you to hell, I warned you. and this is MY blog.

random add-in: I miss you and I love you, my fam!

and Final Words: I am happy right this moment, after all this useless rants like a loser.

PENANG

2010-02-02T20:54:00.017+11:00

Lousy title =.=" but i can't think of a better one.

But yea, just been back from a short trip to Penang. Great shopping trip with my mummmy!

But it was short ugh. VERY SPECIAL THANKS to the CHANGE OF SCHEDULE of the cheapskate red coloured themed airline ( you do know what i m talking about and i don't wanna get sued)!

Anyway, photo sharing slash show off time.!!

Meet my beloved ais kacang, long-time-no-see cendol, ever-awesome si-kuei-teng and lo-bak!!

and SHOPPING SPREEE!! Bought lovely fake-print tee, and ... oh,

I have to apologize here, my fellow male reader. The following part of text is gonna bore the hell out of you. So, skipping is welcome, just don't hate me.

Sooo fake print tees, bubble skirt, canvas bag and a pair of nice t bar heels. And look, I started to work out what ~~i think~~ is matching already haha. Oh i am still so in love with my lovely vest afterall!

And ohhhhh, did I tell you I bumped into Lin You Jia? FYI if you are not into mandarin music, he is a young chinese singer from Taiwan, who has 'Yoga' as his English name and I wonder if he loves yoga that much. I do, though.

Strictly speaking, it's not exactly like I BUMPED INTO HIM, but I sorta saw his promo tour or something at Gurney Plaza. It was a HOT day that I almost fainted and I am so surprised to see him there. UNDER THE SUN. Well, it's not like I like him so much or what, it's just that I found that torturing to stand under that burning sun for more than 10 minutes. It's hard, even to breath.

OMG he is soo skinny. It's NOT LIKE I M JEALOUS. NO. NO.

Anyway (I love this word, such a GOOD(?!?!) starting), come think about it, I always bump into some celebrity unexpectedly. Did I tell you i bumped into Wu Zhun before?

It was around 3 years back then when I still live most of my time of a year in KK, in college doing A-level. Then there was one HOT day (again, but that's the truth) me and my family went to the temple for my late grandma. and there was where i bumped into WuZhun. yes, a temple! And you know what, his precious someone (i can't recall. was that his grandma too?) was worshipped at the samewing (out of all those wingsss they have) and same floor as my grandma's. Unbelievable.

(pic prove haha.)

But honestly it's not like I am a fan of WuZhun too. He just has cute face, that's ALL.
Ugh i just can't bump into the celebrity i like. Robert Pattinson? David Archuleta? Okay i know that's almost impossible. I am just sayin'.
But Gary Chaw? He origins from Sabah and I LOVE his songs. How come I never bumped into him?!!? TOMORROW.

Digging thru the old stuff and LOOK!how cute is the registration tag!

2010-01-26T17:07:00.003+11:00

Howdy guys.

Was tidying and updating my photo album.

but you know, tidying album wasn't any fun if you doesn't flick through and look through them, er like this is the main purpose of keeping albums, no? although I am quite sure that makes you took 5000 times longer time to straighten out your album haha.

It worth it I guess, looking at what I found.

Look at the license plate, isn't that hilarious?

0RLALA!!

But i was thinking how possible it is to have a registration tag start with '0'(zero), and no other number else. Tell me, how is this possible.

But hey don't you ever doubt the originality of the photo!!! Yours truly took it somewhere in ChinaTown (Little Bourke st.), Melbourne, around half a year ago.

I thought this is CUTER. Mr, I LOVE your registration tag, and I would pay ________________ (please fill in the blank as you wish, mr owner) for it. take me seriosuly wtf.

Btw, yours truly took this as well. Taken at almost the same time as the ORLALA one and they were short distance away. How lovely. (right?)

Thanks

2010-01-22T21:59:00.005+11:00

Been away for a while, busy with my trip to Brunei and bringing friends around in Kota Kinabalu. Gonna update that later.

This is like a typical reader-less blog's blog entries, too common too boring ugh, but I have not much of idea what and how to sort out and i guess i am too lazy to. Just feel like writing a let-it-be entry hm.

What am I saying here and what am I gonna say here.

Um,

To begin with, I received a video wishing me happy 21st birthday from my lovely Melbourne friends. A million thanks for their effort. It makes me laugh so badly till my stomach ache everytime I saw it. I don't know how many more videos will I get in my life, but the chances are rare, so thanks, I am so gonna keep this forever. Guys, you make my day.

A picture to end the post. Some spring cleanning that I've been doing and here are my plush sayangsssss under the sun.

My to-do list 2: Talk slower

2010-01-12T20:55:00.004+11:00

I have been and always been talking fast, too fast.

You might be thinking 'oh so you knew it!! but why are you still talking soooo fast?'

I have been wanting to answer this question, digging holes to my heart and brain, but I am sorry, I am seriously clueless.

I guessed I am born to be. That's the only reason that makes sense.

Other possible rationalities?
(a) I am good with language (no, 'cause talking quickly doesn't makes any effective relationship with language level, for instance i am still bad in English)
(b) I have lungs with small capacity, so I have to breathe more often (so I have to finish the sentence before my next in/exhale)
(c) I am always nervous ( okay i have to admit that i kinda get nervous easily and i do talk quicker and mumbles when i am nervous, but hell, it's not like it makes sense that i am nervous 24-7!)

See, I couldn't figure what is the reason behind except ~~this lousy excuse~~ that I am born to be so.

Anyway, it's not like I never try to speak slower. There were several times at different point of my life that i did make efforts to talk slower and clearer. But those never works. Speaking slower makes me sounds emotionless and monotonous, it just sounds weird. And I get back to the usual 129867663298175666498km/SEC talking speed me almost immediately. Ugh.

No it's a new decade i think it's time (hahas).

So this is kinda like my new year resolution, I wanna speak slower, clearer. Gimme courage and persistance.

My to-do list 1: frequent swimming

2010-01-08T16:05:00.009+11:00

It has been a while since the last update, I was just a bit restless. I mean my mind, 'cause exercising (CONSTANTLY) is still in my 'TO-DO LIST'.

Trying to keep myself swimming 2-3 times per week, and it was ~~tolerable~~ enjoyable so far ( 2 weeks almost). But seriously it was my favourite exercise slash past time (besides shopping and food meeting) at the moment, I enjoy every moment of peaceful morning under the blue ~~chlorine~~ water, it puts my mind at ease. With every movement it gives you a dash, and i love the simple fact that the effort you give in, is directly proportional to the distance you made (so undienably science background ugh, but i no longer remember what's the formula to calculate momentum from velocity). Simple and fair.

But I am so afraid of getting too tan. (asian huh? hah.) Any recommendation of good sunscreen or something, girl friends? Indoor swimming pool is not available in here fyi, the sea, ships, trees and blue sky here are too awesome to be out of eye sight blocked by walls decorated with schools of merry-looking dolphins leaping painting( i love dolphins but their appearance in paintings are exploited) when you thrust.

That's it atm and next update would be soon. I am trying to blog more while I am free, for writing is better than er, facebooking, at least slightly, no?

p/s this is not a new year resolution.

I finally make it to a PULAU -!!

2009-12-19T15:51:00.009+11:00

Yes, congrats to me!! I make it to a PULAU!!

In case you are wondering what is a 'Pulau', it literally means an 'island'.
okay an island. SO WHAT IS SUCH A BIG DEAL BOUT IT?

It's like erm,

you didn't visit Eiffel Tower when you pay thousands for a ticket to Paris.

you went to China but haven't got the chance to step on The Great Wall.

and then you flew to Egypt, but didn't see the pyramids.

Or it's just as simple as didn't get a fried chicken when you go to KFC.

So I hope you get what I mean after all this unnecessary explanation.

It means that: YOU MUST GO TO THE PULAU WHEN YOU VISIT SABAH (fyi if you are too lazy to Google or wiki wth is 'Sabah', it's a state of malaysia, located at the Island of Borneo. p/s you are hopeless if you don't even know wth is Malaysia. GOOGLE it, thanks.)

sorry I didnt meant to scold any of you, so I guess I should just make it back to the topic of my pulau trip.

It was a very sunny day (<-damn it! I was like a grilled slash roasted human, cannibals!) But I was kinda happy that this means great shots!! Very optimistic wasn't I (?) I guess it's time for shots sneak peak.

Boated, picnicked, barbequed, shooted (by that i mean photos). That's the Mamutik Island trip!!

so fast i havent get to put a full-stop there

2009-12-07T17:27:00.002+11:00

Rant

2009-11-27T22:07:00.004+11:00

That's so weird of me keep writing stuff and save 'em in draft.

So weird la. I have like 5 already within a week.

And you know what. They are ALL rants, ALL!!!

Since when I'd be THIS easily irritated (and I am annoying when I am irritated)? I've got so much rantssss! too much. they are gonna burst out from my draft folder soon mann!! Or you wanna read them (or no)? Too honest, you'll be scared! hahaha. This is like warning of some sort.

Ey, a random question. Does everybody judge everybody?

There is no need to lie

2009-11-25T21:26:00.000+11:00

There is no need to lie. I wouldn't say a thing even if you tell me the truth, as there is nothing to be (and supposed to be) complained. I am just impressed that you feel the need to do so. Since when I am in need to be 'socialised' with.

There is evident. Or may be just my eyes that are too sharp, too observing. They are in dark, they are hidden, they are at where I am not suppose to see (and you don't supposed I will be able to). Well, I just saw them.

I won't say a thing. I understand. You are just trying to be kind.

Ps. This is no big deal. I am just impressed at how unnecessary a lie can be. But I know, it is just a white-lie, no big deal. I am okay.

A movie marathon of mine.

2009-11-23T21:35:00.014+11:00

I kinda sorta promised that I am gonna talk bout the movies I've been watching recently.

The most recent one, New Moon.

GUYS, STOP LAUGHING when Edward comes out, K?? I know that wind-blowing-his-hair, and he-looked-so-beautiful thing is kinda over exaggerate but it's no where near funny!! You are just jealous ey? (sorry my guy-reader, no offence. And er, speak-out if you have comment on that, I would love to know what do YOU think.)

Anyway, I figured what is this 'the power of love' is all about. It makes GUYS watches New Moon!!! You know how shocked I was when I found there are GUYS population in the cinema was almost half of the whole?!?! And when I figured most of these guys came in couple, yeah i think that's the power of love.

Okay there is exception. We went in group. These guys came volitionally, no power of love whatsoever.

Oh bout the movie. It sorta dissapoint me. The only pick up point is that Taylor looked hotter than I thought, (MX and jes you guys are right!) although he have unmatching face. To Taylor's fans, I am not disclaiming his hotness, just that he just looked too young-and-innocent to have that body kay? And by the way, I think Edward (Rob Pattinson) has got fake abs in order to compete (??)/ company (<-- that's more like it 'cos the former is never possible) Taylor's. and and and it was funny when him and Bella talked bout leaving each other, they looked like they were on stage or something, 'cos they are so acting please. In conclusion, I love the book way more and I wonder what does Stephenie Meyer thinks.

Moving on to the popular one, 2012.

Great effect and THAT'S IT. The family bonding part weren't so much touching to me, it seems to be a perspective tool for the movie's story telling. I just think by 'zooming into a few families and how they faced the hardship' aren't the way to make a 'super-effect-zero-story' movie anywhere near moving and touching. Or may be that's just me, I cried for 'UP' and it's an animation, merely.

Well, we are waiting for year 2012 aren't we? Oh it hits me when I think I am not gonna be graduated if this whole disaster thing is gonna happen!! (FYI, yours truly will be in the last year of her master program at 2012)

Next next, 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'.

Oh it caught me when I heard that was the last product of the late Heath Ledger. The movie was dark fairy-tale like, melancholy and theatrical, different from most of the commercial movie that we watched (and available) in the cinema, either chick-flick, action or the-disaster-and-end-of-the-world. Aprreciate the existence of Heath Ledger in it, although theatrical he performed great. And it was such a shock when Tony (Ledger's role) died in the end in the imaginarium, that was just SHOCKING, 'cos it feels real. Besides, I am honestly amazed of the production team idea of getting Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Collin Farrell to play 'Tony' in the imaginarium.

By the way, I was totally in love with the setting and colours. The fixed to the horseback vintage theatre, rainy street of London and the white haired old man.... These are all my right kind of 'thing'. I aint saying I would like to have this kind of things round me, design this sort of house (seriously the house would ends up looking like some sort of hauted mansion) whatsoever, this is just kind of my secret-fantasy-world thingy. shhhh.

^ personal favourite poster of the movie (far left), the UK one;s with Lily Cole (French (2nd from left) and Jap (3rd one) are looking good and the aussie one is kinda hideous (far right)) (clicky for larger image)

Honestly, I am getting a bit lazy here ( if you are reading and chewing the every words, I believe you are tooo) but I just gonna mentioned another (and the last ) movie here, 'Julie and Julia', in order to accomplish this 'movie marathon' mission.

'Julie and Julia' was a simple and warm movie, just the kind that give you a smile when you step out of the cinema. Remember I complained about '2012'? yeah that's the heart-warming thing that it lacked at. And for those who watched it, I found the blog, THE REAL BLOG (clicky!), no scam!! But I haven't found the book yet, I went to Borders and have a browse at the 'Bestseller' section, where all those 'movied books' usually located at. Nah, none.

This has been a long entry. Thanks for reading, even if you skipped half of it.

Just another post. and I am Happy that we are through.

2009-11-21T11:14:00.003+11:00

Dear Exam,

We are done, we are through, don't chase 'hind me 'cause I will never wanna see you, anymore!

At least not till next June, that I might be forced to see you again. Tell you, I am so reluctant to see you k?

Done,
Moon

Watching my own 'rebirth' tonite, according to ZW.
Don't get it? Watch my next post!! <-- commercial!

And thanks Vicki for the party yesterday!! It's always fun with you!! and I am waiting for your photos yea?

Camera, do you know how much i need you?

2009-11-17T00:31:00.004+11:00

For those who watch my blog would have known i m now surviving without camera... This is TORTURING!! and sorry that i can't post more interesting stuff that, i see and i want YOU to see. Such a regret. sigh.

Since my camera is now not working, it ever came across my mind to buy a new one.

Internal debating:
'My cam is NOT WORKING!! I can't survive!! I need a new one...'
'WHAT? but it is just for these 2 months that you have to wait!! Just dash to sony centre immediately after you got off from the plane to Malaysia!!'
'NOOOO... 2 months are wayyyyy tooo long! I can't even bear 2 days!!'
'...'
'And i want a better one... I NEED a DSLR!!'
'for?'
'EVERYTHING!!! and you see, I can use it for.. err... assignments tooooo... i can er.. take better picture of my model!!!! right? right?'
'Like once per sem then you make A model, k?'
'.... yeah... but still' <-- that sentence is my trademark already

So yeah, DSLR DSLR, I want a DSLR!!

Dash and surf. It's round 1000AUD for the body.

and the lens the kits and the stuffsssssss ?!?! A senior told me, ' prepare to spend at least 1500 bucks laaaa.'

Okay forget about that. Let it stay still in my wishlist =)

btw i think i will be lazy to carry the camera around, although it does look so cool if i care to carry one around.

By by by the way, watched 2012 today. Great effect, but a well-its-okay storyline.
Watched 'The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnasus' (yes the one with Heath Leger in it, yes that one!) and 'Julie& Julia' sometime ago. Will talk bout it in the next few post.

Gonna sleep.

You won't beveavit

2009-11-14T20:15:00.007+11:00

reads: "YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT!"

This is gonna be a quick update. 'Cause? It's over my dinner, I am busy munching at the same time k? Lower your expectation, I am MULTI-TASKING! wt (<-- this blog is suitable for reader under 18, thanks).

SO what is so unbeveable? Tooo lazy too slacking and way tooo much series occupying my exam life. If i am to make a pie-chart for use of time, it should be somewhere near this :

Your mind reads: 'that's a pig lifestyle...'

I know.

But but but, slacking and procastination does do me a little bit of goodness.

I went jogging, an hour, unbeveable! 'cause that never happens for around a semester already.

And I cook better much better food =) what I have on hand is TIME. Wt_.

That's it at this suppose-to-be-busy moment.

Cheers.

Who says Vista is dumb?

2009-11-04T11:01:00.008+11:00

It is not 'dumb', nor it deserved to be 'dumped',

it is 'dumbledore'...

=.="

I know... But isn't this pretty rhythmic, I thought it's fun =)

Anyway, I've got a happy starter for today!! I finally managed to open the stupid hidden photo files in my memory stick!!!!! Like FINALLY!! Been trying and trying and trying for the past few months , using different route to reach the memory cards, some suggesting 'exploring' instead of 'open' the memory sticks. copying the memory sticks to desktop, try different card readers, different computer Et Cetera Et Cetera, BUT non of them works....

Okay after all this crap, you might be wondering how this works actually? c'mon, stop beating round the bush!! I don't have much time!! ... er, sorry i do, i am in the beginning of SWOT Vac, which means i still have plenty of time.

Stop bull-shitting ( i think i wrote too much essay). The thing with Vista is it has got a little 'search' box on the right top of the windows, which i think is custom-made for people like me, this kind of forgetful but have violent amount of files (useful or useless) computer user. This 'search' box is like the tag on a box, you are able to know what's 'hidden' inside without digging and flipping the whole box, save the hassle, save your time. Hm, I start to think that you probably wouldn't be able to understand this if you have no experience in moving. But you are certainly nodding like mad if you do have. Hahas. (oh man, i am so off-the-topic) ... So what i did was typing a 'd' in the box and all of my 'dsc' files came out ( i was using sony, so my photos have 'DSC+serial number' file name!)!!!! Seriously, it has ALL came out!!!! ALL!!!!

...Now copying the files to hardisk, transferring...

Yes, I am so in love with Vista now.
And I think I am smart somehow. <--kidding, not funny meh?

Non-teaching period, smiles

2009-10-06T00:27:00.010+11:00

Back to Uni after the 2 weeks break, aka non-teaching periods. Meaning = you doesn't need to attend lecture and tutorial, but you still have heaps to do. Due after the break, EVERYTHING!

I guessed I should kinda report what I have been doing throughout the break. It's a tradition somehow.

The first event was the Moonlight Oasis River Cruise Dinner. Strictly speaking it was BEFORE the break, like, er, the Friday before the break!! Lots of fun in the cruise and HEAPS of them in the after party (although se7en was a bit dissapointing, such a liar it is)!!!

Then here comes sleepova with the 'makan' gang!! The most fattening sleepover ever!!!okay, fantastic still =) If I were to give a conclusion, it's a Dinner> Supper> Breakfast> Lunch> Aftrernoon tea marathon !!

Oh I just recall this after adding the collage!!! There were meet-up with the college peeps as well =) super spicy sichuan + burnt and numb tongue is all in my memory now!!

Then then was Aa Ball in Crown Palladium! Awesome atmosphere.
Can you believe they even makes snow falls in a ballrooom? Yes, THEY DO.
Well it was obviously fake but i appreciate their effort, thanks 'cause it was burning hot at the dance floor!

Then then then, it was the FIRST camp in Melbourne!! Titled ' Spring Break Camp at Port Phillip Bay', I thought I was going to Phillip Island till I actually went to the meeting point and somebody said ' We will be heading to this and that freeway, stopping at this and that, and will be reaching MORNINGTON around 11am.' !!!! I thought I was half deaf due to yesterday's Aa's booming music or half sleeping as a result of sleeping for around 3 hours the night before!!! 'Are we going to MORNINGTON? As in MORNINGTON PENINSULAR'S MORNINGTON?' 'Yeah'+ a blank face hinting 'don't you know where you are going to when you read the notice and register' is what I got. and I think I deserved that mann. Even MYSELF can't stand me being so blur, so I definitely won't ask anyone to. OKAY, so there I go, MORNINGTON!

Some drama, some very saddening drama happened. My 'babeh' is now in coma after felling off at Cape Schanck's rocky beach. How sad that was, he was with me for less than a year. And now i gotta survive without him.

Btw, my camera is my babeh. and i meant it, k?

Back to the city with only day 1's photos in my coma babeh, I went to Sony Centre, thinking (more like 'hoping') of there is any FOC service. FINE, probably not FOC but please, does a stupid stabiliser cost 500 AUD?!?!

You are thinking of Warranty, probably. Yeah me too, that time. Then I found out that this Malaysia born babeh is not covered in Aussie. 'Warranty only applied in Malaysia', wrote the FIRST sentence of the Warranty card. Don't SONY know that cameras are mostly brought for travelling? Like long term travelling? like me gonna stay here for the next 2 months with my babeh in coma?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update:

19 dec 2009

My babeh is all fine and pretty now! Thanks for your concern if you ever does.

and that was FOC, it's under warranty!

Parallel

2009-09-12T17:41:00.002+10:00

First of all, I really shouldn't be here... I have got heaps of freakin assignments due Monday! Yes, forget about the weekend. I am going to give you a sleepy face if you ask me 'How was your weekend?' when you see me on Monday.

.... i don't have much time, stop beating around the bushes....

Kay, so I realised there are still lots of things aren't parallel to my will. I knew that, but I just didn't know how much are they and how important are they, those that I can't control. Dissapointment, seriously.

May be I should pursue, may be I should argue...I can pursue, and I can argue.
But I care too much, till I think I don't have the gut to do so.

I start to doubt if I really have a rational brain that I thought I have.

Well, that was negative, kinda.

Thinking positively, there are still lots of things that I have, that I own... and they are probably dream of some others...

Should stop here.
And I should start typing in my Microsoft word file titled 'essay outline' instead.

Tomorrow is a better tomorrow. Cheers.

UP the movie

2009-09-05T23:35:00.004+10:00

Up is hilarious!! Love the fact that it's touching yet humorous!

I love Mr. Fredricksen...yes yes, that oldman! I know it's an animation I know, but still, I could feel how he is feeling, when he kicked start his life with Ellie, sharing their routine and when he lose Ellie eventually... It was total touching, even without a word, just beautiful and ... more and more beautiful scene and music. I remembered I was trying to hide those embarrassing tears when Carl lose Ellie, sitting alone in front of the cathedral, waking up alone on his side of the bed and her side empty and neatly done... and I was trying to chasing those tears away and laugh to hide my embarrassment when Carl was sliding down from his staircase...

The adventurous part with Russel, Kevin (the giant bird) and Dug (the you-are-my-master dog) isn't bringing much surprise to me. But I would say it's great enough and almost there on exceeding my 'standard-border' in general terms. It was wonderful, leading a headful of curiosity, just that may be I am more to the romantic and family kind. Well, there WEREN'T any love story between this part of human and animal story ( okay i know there WEREN'T SUPPOSE to have any as well).

The ending... , it's total beautiful. Happy, sad, and inspiring. Happy for his whole new adventure with Russel and the dogss, sad for the fact that he lose his house with Ellie, inspired that... what is life without dream. and it isn't about destination but the process of pursuing. I guess that's kind of too meaningful to be from my mouth. haha. But my brain is working this way at the moment, believe it or not. (hope this sane last longer, please.)

I guessed I have turned myself into a crying baby this year, from the 'sleeping beauty' last year ( i kept falling asleep in the cinema last year). Almost crying on every movie whenever I watch one. Total embarrassment.

Classic quote:
Charles Muntz: Any last words? Come on, spit it out!
[Carl spits out his dentures]

the oldmans fighting scene was real hilarious!

To show off by the way, I wactched UP is 3D! awesome experiece!! ( not so for my wallet, he is crying pain )

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and wait, last thing to finish off my post,

Young Ellie: [to a young Carl] You don't talk a lot.
[pause]
Young Ellie: I like you!

Er, Is that so?

the part of married life of carl and ellie for those of you who are interested,

Mummy in Melbie

2009-09-04T17:25:00.006+10:00

Mummy, i thought you are gonna LOVE melbourne but you doesn't ( i think you LIKE melbourne, kay.). never mind, I think we need a car for you to love Melbie. You hate public transport, squeezy! Yeah me too but I still love it here =)

kay, thought I will just post a collage of this wonderful memory here.

Reasoning with jogging

2009-08-20T23:19:00.003+10:00

You wouldn't believe that I went jogging today!! Freaking cold but yeah, people, I DID IT!

I was always thinking to go jogging someday... Never been jogging since the beginning of this year, like March/ April. Been procastinating, as usual.

It is worst during winter time...

Angel: You should go have a nice jog today.
Demon: Can't you see it, it's gonna rain real soon!! See, the dark cloud over there, over there... (pointing to somewhere several thousands kilometers away)

Angel: Time for a jog, it's sunny today!
Demon: Oh mann, but it's so cold out there.

Angel: It's 20C and perfectly sunny today! I'd bet you have no reason to not to jog today.
Demon: Oh I am tired... I slept at 3am yesterday... Ooops, it's TODAY practically.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh so why am I motivated today?

Reason 1: Mummy is coming, I don't think she wants to see me in this big fat shape. Muscle is always better than fat, isn't it? The fact that I can actually makes my fat looks more less like themselves but more like muscle in 3 days (if I jog for around an hour per day for 3 consecutive day <-- yeah i did it before) is giving me hopes to not dissapoint my mom. And MYSELF.

Reason 2: I am procastinating. Procastination for doing assignment wins over the procastination for jogging. (yay) Everything just appears to be so much more very super duper ultra interesting when it comes to time to deal with assignment. (don't you think so?) kay kay, what happened was i went round the uni for the 'spot the ruin' assignment (it's a nickname by the way, it sounds more fun this way, isn't it? Although it's not at all. ), and just feel like jogging after that. Odd, isn't it? Probably some abnormal hormonal change today. (I want this hormone to be excreted EVERYDAY! Who cares if it's abnormal!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But you know what, I think what's the bigger problem now is my supper addiction. It's ridiculous. I hope there is some PERMANENT hormonal change happens one day, so I will no longer be craving for late dinner/supper.

I caught Lindt Chocolate Cafe in Melbourne

2009-08-12T21:43:00.017+10:00

Guessed what?
LINDT CHOCLATE CAFE is now in MELBOURNE!!!

It was unbelievable!! I love Lindt!! They made the most amazing chocolate ever!!

But there is another incident that leads to my amazement!!! The story went so -->

I actually heard from a friend of mine who went to Sydney recently and tried out Lindt Chocolate cafe before, and I wished that there will be one in Melbourne too~ And you know what, I saw Lindt choc cafe advertisement at Collins St almost immediately after that when I was ON TRAM! Yes, ON TRAM, and I believe I was talking!!! I know, you talk with your mouth, not your eyes, but I think you normally doens't look around (like outside the tram on the street that you pass by almost every single day!)... I guessed erm, the Lindt's Black Forest cake advertisement is just too eye catching!!! (high 5 to the ad designer =))

I paid the cafe a visit the day after I saw the ad ( it was late night when I found the ad, and you know, melbournians particularly the shop owners rest early )! Didn't get to dine-in though, it was uberly FULL!

Anyway, how could Moon gave up her favourite chocolate merely because of this? She went in the day after that again! (I started to realised my obsession towards chocolate actually gave me extraordinary amount of determination and patience!) And look, what she have got...

Yummy Wimbeldon (almond vanilla cake, layered wth mascarpone and fresh strawberries as well as puree)!!

and classic Milk Iced chocolate ( you can choose among dark, milk or white iced chocolate btw. Gonna try dark one next time! I love them =))

This is the 'Chocolat Cerise' (Black forest cake) that appears in the ad!!

A very dense chocolate-mudcake-like cake that my friend got.

Not forgetting the wonderful interior environment!!! Classical ?!?! (<-- Archi's disease, whoops!) and psssst... customer weren't allowed to take photo of the cafe's interior, or else I would take more!! I couldn't kept pretending that I am fixing my camera, could I? Awesome experience in general!! Elegant, indulgence et cetera, et cetera, until i saw the bill...
I know what you're thinking. But... NO!! I DON'T mean the PRICE!! (it's expected somehow, isn't quality of food usually proportional with the price?)

Okay okay, see once more...

Nah!!! I meant the ADDRESS!!! I am NOT in Sydney, although er... I wish I was!!!

Conclusion?
The manager must be a geography noob.
Joking ^^
*praying that Lindt's manager didn't see this or he doesn't understand English.*

Anyway, lovely experience I had in Lindt Chocolate cafe!!

Btw, Yay for another chocolate cafe in Melbourne after KokoBlack, Max Brenners and San Churros !! (did I left any?) And oh, I heard there is gonna be another outlet in Chadston soon!! A shopping and dessert-ing tour sounds tempting!

Kay Cheers for Chocolate.

My Sister's Keeper

2009-08-06T00:59:00.005+10:00

Just watched 'My Sister's Keeper'... I couldn't say it's the best movie I have ever watched or something like that but it's definitely emotion provoking, especially those stupid tears that wouldn't stop rolling down. Stupid.

Not gonna talk about the story and plot, for the sake of you to enjoy the movie =) haha.. keep mysterious.

But I found a funny thing with the movie's cast credit, How can Abigail's name on top of the poster beside Cameron while Sofia's at the bottom printed with minimum opacity (not enough ink? ) ? I am quite sure that Sofia as Kate appeared more than Abigail in the movie.... <-- I don't mean I hate or dislike Abigail, she is lovely!!! I actually like her =) I just don't understand how they do the poster and credits...

But yeah, great movie. Just make sure you use waterproof mascara if you do makeup =)

Life is full of dilemma, full of conflict, between things, and between people... I don't know if I am weird, but conflict exists between my brain and heart quite often, seriously... Am I weird? Can someone tell me please? Your contrubtion will reallly be appreciated =) I have no prize for you, but I am serious here. Yes I am.

Or you might not realise it, so I gonna explain here, my definition of 'brain-heart conflict'.

brain-heart conflict
n
An internal clash or disharmony between feelings (uncontrollable) and thinking (controllable).

"Sometimes you know you shouldn't FEEL so, but you just FEEL SO.
and sometimes yoknow you shouldn't DO so, but you just DO SO. "

You can't believe what happened to my first lecture.

2009-07-27T13:02:00.005+10:00

Second Sem officially starts today!! It was reluctant for me to be back to uni again (although I live basically 2 blocks from the uni), after a month of super slacking life...Argh, gonna increase my life pace!

But what happended was I woke up rather early, like one and a half hour before class to get ready, wasted 15 mins getting lost around the massive Engineering faculty, and HALF AN HOUR staring blankly at the absent lecture podium, which ends up being absent still for the next half an hour (I suppose, 'cause I left with wth in my brain!!!).. So in conclusion, Moon wasted 2Hr15Mins in her 1st day of 2nd sem uni!!! Can't believe this happenned to my first lecture of this sem!! Bad head start!

I think I could finally understand why MelbUni architecture was rejected by a frined of mine =.= I understand you =)

Cheers. for life. haha.
