Right...so u decide to break down again during the busy period... WHY DO U ALWAYS DO THAT... u nincompoop... Opps... sorry... forgot to mention... i'm talking to the computer... not anyone in particular... So here i am sitting in the Edit suite in CCTV waitin for my videos to render. Weather's crap, been rainin all day, i'm tired and hungry... So i just heard that class tonite's been cancelled! woohoo.. good... but i have to go and work on my ideas... maybe drive down to the beach or something and stay in the car for some inspiration... or maybe not... all depends really... maybe go home first and have dinner first. So nothin much's been happening, just preparations for Easter... rehearsals and what-nots... trying to look for a job but the stupid comp had to die on me... gonna cost me $65 just to find the problem... looks like the motherboard again...
Anwyay just thought i'd type in here even if it's a short entry... just to let u guys out there know i'm still alive and kicking...
sigh... once again, it's almost the end of another week... where does all the time fly to?

hmm... got up this morning n went to college for my shoot... did two seperate shoots... one was a prank.. hillarious... found out that actually i'm not too bad in puttin make-up on for others... never knew i had dat in me... prolly 'cos i hardly... I REPEAT... HARDLY... ever put on make up.. Michael Oo picked me up so i didn't have to walk... Thanx Moo... Then went straight into another shoot for the Easter Production... and finished round about 2.30pm... Went to the auditorium to check out what the status of rehearsals were n left with my first yr students Josh n Theraze... went to the supermarket... 'cos i invited the two of them over for a bbq with the rest dancers that Bek (my hsemate) invited... paid $22 guess it's worth it... got to know them a little better tonite... good for me 'cos i'm getting my mentorin points up... plus easier for me to work them next time... glad i have them around... runners and assistants... feels good... hahaha no not really i'm just glad i've got help... sick of having to do stuff alone...
Finally... meat... didn't know it tasted that good.. hahah had one sausage and one kebab... n about 3 tablespoonful worth of fried rice...
Realized something tonite... i hate going to parties... but i like hosting them... didn't mind all the cleanin up n what nots! hahaha
Anyway i'm pretty proud of myself... I managed to do up a Gantt chart! woo hoo... pple will be using paper n pen to draw... But i figured out how to do it in Excel... i wonder how many pple will rock up with computered gantt charts... ok... for those who don't understand, Gantt charts are like a whole chart of details for project management... it's meant to show your start dates of all the diff specific task and end dates and links etc... Hmmm i wonder... why am i tellin u guys who are reading this? U prolly dun need to know it n can't be bothered... haha ok... so I was excited i got it!
I'm now going on to doing my next work... Scriptwritin stuff... really need a new idea for writing... no inspiration at the moment... too many stuff crammed in my head... IDEAS ANYONE? n i'll try n expand.. hahaha
Hmm hope everyone out there's fine... missing u guys in SG... sometimes wish things could be a tiny bit easier... TELEPORTATION PLS...
Directing at 10am tomorrow so 9.15am call.. going off now so i can try n concentrate better in finishin my work n try n get some sleep...
Nite all...

OK... so i'm in the midst of trying to re-vamp my blog... kinda had problems with the old one 'cos my dial-up's so sucky i couldn't even get to my own site! So forgive me if there are any errors... i'll fix it up when i'm "free" if that can even be found in my dictionary now... or when i'm trying to wind down n destress...
Stephen said today: "Michelle, we need to find one day... if we can find one, have a chat about where things are going... and prolly have a few sleepless nites n work on stuff" NIce... Lookin forward to that ... OR NOT...
Anyway... i'm kinda feeling crappy now. Was supposed to collect the car today... so went to get a bank draft n do up all the insurance stuff... Called the guy to ask his full name for the bank draft and he said: Sipp... i read it out to him again and he said it was correct... Went ahead, paid $5.40 for a stupid bank draft, brought it to him all excited and hyped about getting a car n he said it was spelt wrongly... His name was bloody Sitt TT not PP... WASTE OF MY TIME, MONEY, EMOTIONS, ENERGY And everything else... stuffed up all my plans for tomorrow's shoot and Sunday... WALK TO COLLEGE AGAIN... idiotic with a CAPITAL I as Mag mag said... damn straight... Then i came back, tired from running around and pissed.. AND WAIT THERE'S MORE... EMBARASEMENT... EVERYONE's EXPECTING TO SEE ME ROCK UP IN COLLEGE IN A CAR DAMNIT... n my feet's not allowing me to walk much... 'cos it's really hurting... went back to the doctor again and got a second opinion frm an older doctor... WHO HAD NO CLUE TOO... n said to come back in 2 wks if it was better... in the mean time, they prescribed me with a whole heap of different medication to see which works... ummm EARTH CALLING MARS... i'm a human... not a lab rat... called Stephen Thomas, my faculty head 'cos he was concerned to tell him what the doc said n he said this: Wait??? For wat? for your feet to drop off before they do something?
Right ok... so sorry u guys had to put up with all that... i'm just a little emotional now which explains all the CAPS and RANTINGS... plus the stupid fact that i couldn't keep a secret 'cos someone managed to get it out of me through playing with my mind... Should have been smarter michelle... just walk away next time... ARgh... Hate this...
This is how it feels: Imagine waiting for something for all your life... n it's something that will help make your life so much better... so much so that even a day's delay counts? ANd you are so close to it... u smell it, feel it, see it, touch it etc... even hold the keys to it... AND IT GET'S TAKEN AWAY just because of one TEEENNNNIIIEE TINY error... THAT REALLY SUCKS... Feels like a big tight slap across the face n back... RIght... it's 11.40pm... n i'm still up... haven't even prepared my shot-list for tomorrow...nice one michelle...
Oh btw, found out yesterday i made a mistake... The project i'm working on? For MTV USA? it's not worth AUD$80 000... add another zero as Stephen said... Just one zero.... GOODNESS...$800 000 WHAT AM I GOING TO BE DEALING WITH....Dyed my hair just before i got back to Sydney... that's 4wks ago now..... N I've GOT ALL THE WHITE HAIR COMING BACK... NOT FUNNY AT ALL..... tried to Sleep-in this mornin but to no avail... still got up at 6am... body clock...
Oh well... i should stop here n go start on my shot-list... hopefully things work out for me tomorrow n i'll just have to hang on for another 2days... or 3 i should say...
Smell of freedom...

gee.. time flies... been 11 days since i last blogged... so much for wanting to blog everyday... well Lets see... what have i been busy with? Well we had orientation camp 1st and 2nd march... that was pretty cool... I finally mustered up my courage to perform for "red-faces nite" where u can go up stage and be as silly as possible... they said third yrs had to do something and my dean Pam, overheard me chatting about what i was thinkin of doing before so i couldn't get out of it... I started off introducing myself, saying that i had enrolled in the wrong course and actually wanted to audition for Music... so i played a piece on the grand piano at camp, and i suddenly turned around with my light-up-glasses and did a rap... with the huge Quicksilver jacket i got from the tv ministry when i first left for melbourne... wasn't huge then but as time past, i lost weight. Had a cap under the hood too...
It was hilarious 'cos everyone thought of me as a very serious person with no nonsense... when i was performing, all the staff's jaws dropped and my principal laughed so hard he had tears in his eyes... At the end of the nite, i came in second, 1 mark shy of the first... Well done Nathan n Tim... hahaha u stole my position... Jeff Crabtree aka the crab-man said this: "the wierdest thing i've ever seen but absolutely hilarious" So since that camp, whenever i walk around classes now or in campus... pple disturb me... or try and follow what i did...
will throw up a pic when i get time...
The rest of my time's been busy with Easter Production... this yr, it's called Resurrection: Images of easter... pretty cool... will try throwin up some pics too soon...
Had rehearsals on Monday night and then after rehearsals, went to test drive a car... and i made a deposit for it... Hot n shmick... everything i wanted except the colour but it isn't that bad 'cos it's a nice car and the green looks quite cool on it... Oh BTw, it's a Mitsubitshi Mirage... will put some pics up too when i get the chance... will prolly pay up the rest on Friday or the weekends and get the car then... can't wait... it's going to change so much of my life... no more waiting around for others and getting delayed...
Went for an x-ray today because i found a lump on my leg 2weeks+ ago... and the area around the lump started bruising so i've got a big patch of bruise on my shin.... Doctor didn't know what it was and sent me for an x-ray but the x-ray couldn't show what it was... Although the doctor's said it's definitely not muscle or blood vessel swelling... it feels like a stone... and if it still doesn't improve in a week, i'm going to have to go under the knife to find out what it is... sigh... it's affecting my work 'cos i can't walk properly... it gets quite painful without touch... so i'm a little worried...
Found out today as well about the major project i'll be handling.. HUGE AS...
It's a pilot programme for MTV in the USA, about girl-life, some kinda magazine tv show... interesting... 'cos it will be centered on the 31gal book... which is where i got my nickname... and which is also where my blog address derives from... NICE..... budget for this programme's at AUD$ 80 000 so far... n MTV thinks we need a bigger budget... FLIPPIN' HECK... it's hugeeeee....
Anyway, i'm gonna sign off here for now... juz came back from tea at Si n K's... proper meal in the past week or so... and i've got an early start... gotta walk quite a distance so that i can get picked up to go to a shoot... prolly will have to start walking ard 6.45am...
So till then, to those who are reading, take care...
