hmm... Motivation pls...
it's been quite a while since i last updated this blog... been too busy and this week's kinda quiet 'cos Pst Phil did not preach in church on sunday morning... which means no work for me for the week...BUT IT'S NOT GOOD... i'm no longer one week ahead of the programme...
anyway it's kinda good i'm having this quiet time... not in college today 'cos had to stay home and wait for the wardrobe man to come fix the stupid wardrobe... waste my time... he just got here and banging away on the walls... wish he would do it quick... I'm looking forward to lunch... Advocado sandwich... yummy.. havent had dat in ages... and i wanna close the door... my feet's cold...
I spent this morning lazin in bed till 8.15am... took a shower... went to the bank and returned a dvd... applied for a job at the same time this morning at the DVD rental place 'cos i saw in the papers today that they were looking for staff... hmm should be quite a simple job... wanted to do pizza hut delivery but just heard of news that petrol's going to be more den $1.20 a litre now... DAMNIT...
we watched Bride and Prejudice last nite... so funny... reminded us all of home... OH YES... WE HAD DURIAN 2 days ago!!! hahaha 99cents per KG... wasn't fantastic but HEY it's still durian in AUstralia... only bought one frm wooly's 'cos didn't know the quality... haha actually Hayden paid for it...
Been busy helping Hayden this 2 wks, 'cos he had his EP Launch... i must say... IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS... Made a few people tear, especially his mum who flew all the way from Perth to come watch the performance. Really proud of him too... almost had tears too 'cos i knew what he had to go through to get to this stage but i had to control myself 'cos i was directing the cameras... Everyone was raving about how good it was... not like any normal cafe connects... It was not just pure ENTERTAINMENT but it was EXCELLENT MUSIC as well... just like a J.T concert... *wink*
Hmm boy is his band hungry... cooked pasta for 16pple BUT IT WAS ALL FINISHED AFTER 10MINS! not a drop left... same for the juice... was looking through 2 of the tapes... looks quite good..
Oh yes... DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA last week... clogged PIPEs... made the whole bloody house and street smell like sewerage... and Ivonne came home one Thursday afternoon to find the house main door ajar... 'cos anita forgot to pull the door close tight enuff... and all our laptops and equipment were just sitting on the table which is just next to the door... I AM NOT IMPRESSED... :(
Went to college on monday but had no work so ended up going into the city with Hayden, Christie and their mum, Tracy. we had a great time... His mum's really nice to talk to... not many pple are like that...
Hmm can't really remember what the past weeks were like... 'cos the only things that fill my mind now's just the EP Launch and this week...
OH YEs! i went to WEsley Institute on last friday nite to watch Shakespere's Midsummer's night dream directed by my head of Faculty, STephen THomas... his last gig there so went to support him... he's done a brilliant job! Felt sick on the way there though. Was in Chrysta's car and almost threw up twice... She reckons i was overworked. 'cos felt numb in the head and couldnt feel my hands and feet... like semi-conscious feeling. Felt better after the play... and on Sat night was Bec's Majorwork... proud of her too.. 'cos i've seen her tears and pain.. but she and hayden's both pushed through and finished their Diplomas! hmm 1 more week of college for the two of them and they are finished with college for good... Bec's going back in a week to Perth and i'll get to see her in December when i myself finish... Maybe... who knows... not long till September...
Hayden might be moving out of this area n possibly moving abt 45mins drive away... :(
ARGH THE WARDROBE GUY'S TAKING SO LONG... idiot...
ok i think i shall end here with a few pictures of the durian session and pictures of the house 'cos i just realized i've not put up any yet... so pathetic.. one durian shared among 4 of us...
Duriansss...

hmph.. long week... i'm a wee bit tired... doing my third last dub for the week...a little late... had hoped to finish the dubs yeserday and start on the next episode today...

This week's been abit interesting... someone filed a complaint about me... but it's ok.. 'cos Micah (my second boss) was with me when the whole thing happened... n that person didn't listen to the full thing... just listened to what he wanted to hear and make accusations... Big boss is still on hols so we'll settle that issue when he gets back... BUT OH WELL... GOD BLESS HIS SOUL... he's got issues... -_-
the truth shall set u free...

Hmmm SMPTE 05 is in July... 40bucks for full registration for students... and 400+ for non-students... showed Pam the brochure to ask for a week off college for the first yrs as well to go for it... and she said she'll talk to Jeff about it... maybe the school might pay the fees for us... HAhaha if itat's case... I SAY it's ALL GOOD... spent too much money shifting... having to buy the neccessaries like fridge and what nots... i've been cooking for the last few nites... having homemade vege soup (western style) and fish for dinner... spent an hr boiling the soup last nite... needs another 30mins of cooking... this place is so quiet 'cos i'm the only one... everyone went out for lunch... had a meeting this morning which set me back in time... dat's why not having lunch... just had youghurt while dubbing... BUT I SMELL LIKE BACON AND EGGS... we had the women's min-conference meeting in the cafe... hmm one more project one hand... never seems to die down... i'm getting attacked by mozzies and i'm not sure where it's coming from... college? home? or this office?

We're re-doing the SCA prospectus and the college has given selected students from different faculties and years cameras to capture in a week what college is like... ANd of course they chose me for the Screen production course... for my year and the first yrs... they gave out HORRIBLE DISPOSABLE CAMS WITHOUT ZOOMS... has flash though... i begged Pam to see if i can just use my own digital cam... NOT A CAM LIKE THAT... sarah and kesty (Pam n Jeff's PA) laughed... was reading instructions and i realized... i dunno how to operate a stupid disposable camera? actually no... not that i dunno how to operate one.. more like i haven't used one in ages so i had to think how it had to be used... hahaha Industry blindness they call it...

anyway i shall stop here for now... having a headache trying to look at 3 screens and multi-tasking all at the same time... feel like throwing up for some reason... :(

I wagged college today... still got the cold...
3rd nite sleepin in the new house... feels abit wierd but oh well... Met the owner and his wife quite nice people... willing to change stuff in the house that's broken so i guess that's a good thing... but they keep coming round to the house to check if everything's alright! i guess its a good thing they are concerned... they've got 4 young kids... maybe they're just trying to make sure we settle down properly... but i hope they don't come everyday to the house! 'cos that will drive me nuts... the owner came and fixed a new exhaust for the stove top... he's gonna change the shower head... EVERYTHING IN THIS HOUSE IS BUILT FOR TALL PEOPLE... EVEN THE BUILT IN WARDROBES AND SHOWER!!! we can't reach unless we tiptoe...

The fridge we got... DODGY AS... it was full of mould and had pieces of food in it... sprayed exit mould... and Scrubbed... so we've lived 3days without a fridge and finding it really difficult... it's even in the insides of the vents and we can't clean it out according to my owner... who's a air-con n fridge repair man...
so we're trying to call the guy we bought it off tomorrow n see if we can get our money back... we only paid a 100bucks... GUESS IT'S TRUE... u get what u pay for.. -_- spent so much time cleaning the fridge... We might try buying a small fridge from a Factory Second or somewhere but looks like it's going to put us down another 400-500 bucks...

Sigh... it's costing so much.. and i feel really bad... bought an aromatherapy candle earlier... Lavender... hayden said it was a good choice 'cos it was for Stress-relief...

Still got a hint of the cold but not as bad anymore... Not helping that this house is so freaking cold... no carpet anywhere, just timber floors (which might have cockroach problems) and walls... today also marks the first day of winter... wearing long johns under my clothes... too cold..

So much cleaning and packing to do... that's why i wagged today... 'cos i finish at 5.30pm tomorrow and got classes on Friday too... and i still have stuff in the other house... and got to finish my research on the weekends... oh btw i managed to get reception for this wireless internet... 40 a month, no contract... only had to pay 200 for the modem... 14day back garantee... so if i dun like it after this weekend, i'll bring it back... juz need it this weekend to finish my assignment...

HAD A SHOCK THIS MORNING WHEN I GOT TO THE CAR... i parked under the tree last nite... AND THE TOP WAS COVERED WITH BABY SPIDERS!!! Huntsmen.. oh how i hate u... I got paranoid driving back to the old place that the moment i got back, i took the hose and hosed down the car... and gave it a wash... about time anyway... but i found a few in the interior itself... SO I'M HOPING THERE ARE NO MORE... 'cos Huntsmen spiders grow to be huge disgusting ones... the adult's normally the size of your palm... eeekkk... i really really hope there's none left


hmm long entry... anyway it's time to go to bed... 25 past 10pm... long day tomorrow...
