In a state of procrastination and took a test that i saw on a friend's blog....
Don't believe in horoscopes but this is kinda true... i guess to a certain extend...
Your life is represented by the castle of power with great ability and able to work under pressure. However, an over devoted spirit could lead to a slight mental imbalance. You keep your word and you like kind and determined people. You look like an easy-going person but you are actually quite determined. It's hard to tell what's on your mind and you tend to keep a low profile.◎
Your characteristics, subconscious, and behavior modes, according to your fate and destiny, are represented by the castle. You will naturally protect yourself, but can accept others. You are amiable and smart, but a bit dull.
You understand things clearly, but tend to keep your viewpoint inside your heart. Although a castle is impressive and imposing it also seems unchangeable. People will neglect your contribution until you leave your original position or give your feedback, only then will they discover your importance. You have your own viewpoint, but are willing to cooperate with others and give them the stage and opportunity to perform. A castle is has defense function, so you are more defensive and others are unable to enter your inner world.
Your appearance is very amiable, but you are very rigid in your heart and will persist and not give up. You admire people who are heroic, dominating and a bit arrogant, but also respect those who are unselfish and lenient with others. Your entire life is like a solid castle, devoted society, never asking for any payback, and being supportive of others. You will have many good friends in the down times of your life.

Crazy week.... 30mins till the weekend... and yes i'm still at work...
In fact... Kerry and I are both here working out butts off...
I'm just waiting for the videos to render... as usual...
Well... goodnews is I am almost finished.... once this is complete... I am going home... going to try n have a mini sleep in tomorrow morning... all dependent on my body clock of course...
Bec Anthony was here in Sydney for a visit and stayed with me for a week. I was not home most of the times though... and when I leave the house... almost as per usual the household is still sound asleep....'
I took her to the airport earlier... as well as Robyn French n her daughter Kia, who had to be at the airport an hr earlier than Bec... traffic back n forth was Nuts....
took me more than an hour to get back from the airport when it normally only takes 30mins... All because of the silly NRL Games...
Traffic was so............ SLOW....
Anyway render's done.. back to work.. my eyes are closing on me.... so... till next time...

Its been a hectic day... however, I am surprised at the supernatural strength i've got that's getting me by so far...
Got home last night at 11.15pm... went straight to bed and was back at work at 7am this morning... it's now 10.55pm and I've still got quite a bit to go before i can leave. I have a client coming in to view the work tomorrow morning at 8.30am so I need to finish it by tonight. Yes this is the screaming client. But hopefully tomorrow he won't be as nasty... and I promise I will be nice. Not going to be pushed over though....
Now... u're asking... so why aren't u concentrating on your work then? Well... i'm sitting through the blue line fever... Rendering in technical terms... its taking way too long.... 25mins to render a 4sec clip... Grrr.... So anyway back to the blogging...
We had a leaders' meeting and it was really cool. I got a prophesy which I will be hanging on tightly to... This means... there will be testing times along the way. But I am not afraid... I am braced and ready for the fight. I know what was said is true and will be true. A matter of timing... just like how tonight was very timely.
I think in this year alone, my skills have improved quite dramatically... just looking at my handheld work... despite a shoulder and back that's killing after the day.... That's always a good sign... no not the pain.... the work!
Things are moving really quickly... Had 2 new projects handed to me today by the PPP, so in the mean time I'm holding on to his laptop as well... Yes I'm working all 3 computers at the same time....
On top of that, decision's been made to move 2 out of 4 services out of the auditorium into the glass house,just this afternoon, which means.... Major logistics decisions to be made.... Micah and Kerry are not around so I'll just have to decide and make the call....
Hahaha craziness.... and on top of that still running the studio and making sure the rest of the weekly work is completed and sent. As of tomorrow, my weekly week is 1 week ahead of scheduled time... trying to get 2 weeks ahead but because of all the last minute happenings, its gone back to 1. However, hopefully next week won't be as crazy. Then that way i can get links out... as well as 2 episodes... without the new links first.... Oh well... fun and joy... I can't believe 1 week has passed already... another couple more minutes and i'm so much closer to the weekend.... hoping to go into the state lib on Sat.... First thing in the morning... have to be back in the arvo though... seeing that I have to be around for all services due to the changes made...
It's okie.... One more week, Micah gets back... life will slow down a lil' and its straight into the Intensives.... And then EOYP!
Hmmmm ah well... who knows what next year brings... so till then... enjoy this crazy life.... embrace it with a smile... and a knowing that at the end of the day, it will all be fine... and for those who are reading and remember me... do say a lil' prayer for me... Trust me, it helps... :)
mmmmmm Root beer Jelly beans......
The simple pleasures of life... enjoying whatever little time you have with the people you care about.
AHhhhh the cleaner with the big bushy hair and HUGE beard just showed up and gave me a shock!!!
righto... renderin's done.... back to work... till laters...

I am just taking this chance to blog while i'm rendering... it's been a hectic week.
And Yes i think i'm going crazy.... second day in a row i've been at work for more than 15hrs in a day...
Micah has gone off to Africa and i'm left to be in charge of the studio.. Kerry's gone too... and its not too good 'cos at the moment i'm having to deal with a difficult client. Feels like I'm picking up the pieces from a dumpster... wait.. it pretty much is i think...
Some client had their production date brought forward to this friday and did not tell me till Monday, when Micah had left. I was not involved in this production from the beginning so I'm left without any direction in terms of the project. And had to deal with a close to screaming client over the phone because the client reckons I have no idea about what I am doing. Yes i do not have any idea about what i'm doing in terms of this project. NOT IN EVERYTHINg! grrr.... tried explaining nicely but it didn't work...
I asked to speak to him because I wanted to know what he was looking for in terms of the project so that I could pick it up... rather than sit in front of the stupid computer all day... put something together and it's not what he's looking for! For goodness sake just explain to me so that I can help... not put me to your assistant and say: "I am really nervous about her doing the job because she does not seem to know what she is doing. I don't even know why she wanted to speak to me in the first place..."
AND NO COURTESY TO COVER THE MOUTHPIECE SO THAT I WON'T FREAKIN HEAR WHAT HE SAID!
RUDENESS TO THE CORE....
At least his PA isn't too bad... she's more understanding and willing to listen...
seems like she's his PA as well as his graphic designer... I've finally gotten some graphics to work with....
Now... i wanna know, HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU BECOME A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MAN IF THAT'S HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE!
grrrrrrr
He's coming in on Friday morning at 8.30am and I'm going to have to smile and be nice.... Note to self: DO NOT STRANGLE HIM....
Argh...
sorry.. i just had to vent...
In other news...
I just went for training in construction induction and have gotten a Green/White card... that will allow me to go into any construction site after taking the Site induction...
Kinda cool.... guess it will come in Handy when i've got to go into the auditorium to get stuff in the week...
Looking at getting the Scissor-lift licence too....
And on Tuesday, my day was so hectic but unbelievable... I shall blog more at a later stage.... rendering's done... so back to work for now...

hmm
Since i got my new bed... the back hasn't been too bad...
The essays have gotten to me again..... study-shoulders *or so stephen says* and the usual back aches...
However last night was very weird.... lying on the new bed after about 48hrs of not sleeping felt funny.... Weather's pathetic today... so much washing the car... and i've had to put the clothes in the dryer...
I just found another 2 primary school mates online...
Where would we be without technology...
See I wouldnt know and i wouldnt want to know...
Interesting how blogs say so much... if u lost contact with a friend and found them at a later stage and started reading their blogs... it's like reading back into the times u've missed because you lost contact...
I also found out that a couple secondary school mates have given birth or about to give birth... now I feel old....
10 weeks to go till i graduate...
I'm going to attempt to finish an essay tonight... and maybe tomorrow i can start on the second... i really need to keep up with this momentum and not let it drop at all.... production's around the corner.... Isn't it freaky how time flies.... 5 years since i left secondary school, 9 since i left primary school.... and 15years since I knew some friends...
10 weeks till officially leave Tertiary education.... and apply for post graduation...
10 mnths till i start post grad studies...
God-willing... 3years and 2mnths till i graduate with my Masters..
And who knows what will happen in those 3years and 2mnths...
I thought I could get my masters before i turned 23... but i guess maybe not... oh well... its all for the better anywayz..
I still want to see New Zealand.... and a couple more places...
And so many other things that I want to do...
Actually I have been thinking...... once i get my PR... maybe i can try and apply for AFTRS??? haha doubt i'd get in though... every year they only accept 4 pple for each category... and if i do, I'd be torn... 'cos i want to do the directing, editing and cinematography courses.......
Imagine how cool it would be?
5k in fees a year while the government spends about a 150k on you...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
well... who knows... but in the mean time UTS still sounds more like the one i'm geared towards....
there's a post grad information night... and i'll be going for it.... hopefully it'll give me more of an idea.. n see the kind of pple that are interested and applying... n see the kind of lecturers......
Oh I want to be a better person........ AIM HIGHER... DREAM BIGGER...
Right.... time to cook dinner.... and off to watch the dancers tonite....
Directing for the next 3 wks..... on top of all the other crazy things that needs to be done...
Oh I cant wait for the future.......

Been almost 48 hrs since I last slept... stayed up last night to finish 2 assignments... I'm tired now but the hair's still wet...
Speaking of which.... I HAD A HAIR CUT THIS EVENING...
One of the students, Kelly, is a hair stylist.... so I went to her to get it chopped... It was starting to annoy me...
AND NOW.... GOODBYE TO THE KNOTS AT THE END OF MY HAIR! AND GOODBYE TO A HEAVY HEAD!!!
Everyone's back from C3i conference next week... however Micah's gone for 2 weeks to Africa and I'll be running the studio...
Exciting week 'cos this Tuesday we have a new client coming in to the studio to shoot of film and they are using the studio, control room and green room as location.....
Early start for me... they'll be in from 6am..... and finish at 1pm... and theres an immediate turn around 'cos we have infobreak in at 1pm... Oh i hope it wont be too late a night....
For some reason, I thought that next week is a Holiday week... but I've obviously got it wrong.... I HAVE CLASS ON TUESDAY.....
Oh crap....Damn.... BAd timing.... -_-
I might have to miss out on class cos i wont be able to leave this film guys alone..... They might mess up all the technical side of the studio... n that would NOT BE FUN! especially if Infobreak's using the studio n control room straight after....
Aparantly... these film guys are bringing in their trucks.... about 9 trucks in total... props, gaffer... make up.... Ahhhh and i think a couple trucks just for the actors......
And they're bringing in their own freakin generator -_-
MEOWWwwwwwwwwww
Oh well... i'm going to look for a lunch partner for Wednesday... 2 wks till the intensives...... and i feel pressurized.... had no idea that my involvement in the End of Year Production was going to be so huge..... So i'll have to be there at every rehearsal... n production meetings.... normally... i wouldnt mind... but theres a whole pile of Essays due too....
Yes its about time management... but how much of the sanity would i be able to keep i wonder....
Anyway enough whinging....
I'll go to bed now... with semi-wet hair that is nice n shorter than before... N HAS NO TANGLES!!!!
Yeaaaa i like it!

So.... i've had a rather..... interesting or should I say... wierd week...
first of all... i finally got the worldview essay done.... I'm not quite sure how well i'll do for that subject overall... i have only just passed the stupid exam that I went blank at.... and then I had to do the essay in the midst of all the pain and doctor hassles... with not alot of focus at all... sigh....
I really hate the fact that I am no good at sitting for exams... I'm going to call UTS to find out how many exams I have to take for the Masters... hopefully minimun... or better still NONE AT ALL!!! the subject description seems good so far...
Give me assignments... give me projects... make me do lots and lots of projects without sleeping.... No problem
Give me one exam..... no problem studying... no problem remembering facts and information... now... Writing it out and putting it on paper? Another whole ball game....
What annoys me is that there are pple that dont put in the effort and can still do it....
WHYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Wished i could be more smarter...
sigh....
arghhh
anyway... Tuesday was a wierd day.....
I was given a lollipop and was happily sucking away on it till the top of the lollipop got to the stick... i saw a random ant crawl across my notebook and desk...happened to take the lollipop out of my mouth when i spotted out of the corner of my eye... to my shock n horror n disgust.... an ant crawling though the hole on the lollipop that i had sucked through...
thought it was only one random ant... when i saw another pair of antennas.... and another crawling out at the end of the stick.... it made me feel......... sick.... i left it on the table in a piece of tissue... n thats why i noticed..... THERE WAS A BLOODY FAMILY OF ANTS LIVING IN THE LOLLIPOP!!!!!!!!!
I was so disgusted someone had to throw it away for me... i took fotos for proof so i 'll will post it at a later stage... i'm just sitting in the living room on the laptop so i can upload the pics
Wednesday morning.... I woke up... prepared to go to work... and for some crazy reason, jammed my own fingers in my drawers... got to work... while speaking to a couple of my students, i leaned back and hit my head on the wall....
Nathan called me a Gumby.... and when I asked Miccah what a gumby was, he said a gumby's tall and skinny... which is the total opposite of me...
And then... I was cooking some soup for thursday night's steamboat... when i smelt something funny... looked around and realized my hair was on fire.... now.... THAT WAS STUPID! and it smelt bad!!!! so I'm going to have a hair cut now...
Thursday was alright... but Chad started calling me a munchkin and everytime he saw me, he sang the song from the wizard of Oz:
We're off to see the Wizard
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
We're off to see, We're off to see
The wonderful Wizard of Oz...
and he sang it quite a number of times 'cos we work in the same building.... and it got stuck in my head for the whole night.... Even though there was so much going around with pple over for the steamboat.... and other songs being played... argh!
AND I STILL HAD IT IN MY HEAD THIS MORNING WHEN I GOT UP!!!!
Thanx Chad!
Todays been alright... We shot brand new links for the Television...
I had a BLT burger from the Kids Connexion for lunch and it was.... OH SO YUMMY
And I've got the house to myself this evening... and i'm enjoying it....
Oh right... for those that do not yet
I've decided to work full time at work starting next year. They will sponsor my PR... and i'm seeing the Immigration lawyer on Tuesday....
I will still do the MAsters... but will start in August.... that will give me a couple of months off studying which would be good...
and i think i get to pay PR's fees....
So things are moving along... I obviously bought the one way ticket for a reason......
Fathers day this Sunday... to those reading who are dads, Happy Father's Day...
and to my own dad:
Daddy, Thank you so much for everything...
Happy Father's Day....
Bridget Jones Diary is on TV now...
hmm i hope I do not become like her... its a little sad.....
oops that was random...
right... I shall leave this post here for now....
Till the next time i post....
