9:02 pm - having withdrawn symptoms to farmville being unavailable
|
As those of you on my facebook will know, I use the application farmville, well it's been offline all day, and even thought I should be more productive because I'm not using the app, it doesn't seem that way. I seems to be less efficient today than yesterday when it was online ....
strange and unusual punishment.

8:53 am - being so dodgy without even knowing it
|
Ok, so i had a training session in Novemember that I applied to go to which is simple enough, I thought it started this week. But I'm writing my DPORS and I don't really want to go because there's going to be another session on next semester and it'll probably be more useful then. So I'm about to email the admin ppl about not going, and I check the dates it was last week! and in the email it said I should notify them that I will not be attending 3 days in advance ! .. yek ! .. lol. . how about 3 days after the event has happened?
I'm going to be black listed for workshops now :( ... I bettya ..

you know how once in a while, you feel like your life is in a downward spiral of doom.... ? Well, I'm in that mood now. I just need to do enough work over this weekend so I feel better about myself and the fact that I'm so behind in everythin!

It's been a long time since I last posted, and I'm not sure why, I just haven't been motivated enough to post or maybe my life has become more mellow? *2nd scenario very unlikely* .... Ok, I've just seen pictures of my future, well not my future exactly but a possible future. There were pictures of my old mentor on facebook, he completed exactly the same degree as me in uni ubt about 10 years earlier. So he's in he's 30s, and he's still posing dodgy for photos have pictures of restruaunts and other events in his life on facebook. Trips and random peace fingers, it's like he's exactly as he was in his 20s except older... so I guess it's a snap shot into my future. I'll be going to restruaunts and taking pictures and still be writing dodgy comments on facebook and lj . ... not really that much different from now actually. It's strangely unsettling and at the same time comforting.

11:00 am - annoyed~!
|
I get a notice in my mail saying I have registered post.. so I'm all excited and drive down this morning to pick it up. It's a letter from my uni, telling me I have to start submitting my confirmation of candidature. ..... like as if I didn't know that !
Such a waste of trip down to the post office!

3:52 pm - it's so nice outside, I just don't want to sit around
|
it's so sunny and nice outside, and the weather is just nice and warm that I want to go out and enjoy it . maybe sit on the grass and read or I don't know just laze around... but it's actually quite dangerous outside in qld... there heaps of animals and it's a bit crazy out there, so it's a lot safer in the office.
I really shouldn't get involved with the chinese community in Rockhampton they're usually unpredictable and a bit strange. I had to socalise with a lot of international students today, and they're all higher degree students, and on a person to person interaction you don't usually notice gender, but when your in a group and your the only girl, it gets a bit obvious/feel it . which is slightly annoying , because I should be over it....

5:22 pm - need to do grocery shopping !
|
I really need to go buy food. But I so don't want to, what I really want is to eat something exciting and totally awesome that I haven't eaten for a while. But that's not going to happen, so I should just stick with what is possible. I really want to go home, and I should go home, I'll try to bike into work tomorrow...
but it's strange, no one sent me any emails today... I usually get 2 or 3 emails of ppl enquiring as to weather I will be buying their stuff, or stuff that I should have done or should be in the process of doing. I'm not even sure what's going to happen to me.
hopefully all good things ?

10:50 pm - dodgy facebook friends requests
|
I got a friend's request on facebook from "tofu flower" ... so I was curious and looked up their profile (which is unlikely to be real) , so on the personal info, it said in an open relationship, interested in girls, and there's this picture of a skinny jap chick (well when I say jap, I mean from my vast experience in picking out asian nationalities, I think it is a japanese girl). how fake is this person? .... I checked the link on the page, and it's actually an online clothing store that caters to skinny asian chicks who don't fit into regular clothes ... omg... I don't fit into regular clothes, well not the size 6s anyway ..I'm closer to shopping at "big city chicks" or "16 to 26" than any small asian boutiques in china town, where none of the clothes fit me! Apparently this facebook page has 600+ friends, contemplating if I want to report this "person" ...

9:11 pm - more dodgy shopping
|
well, I need a sewing machine, as much as I don't want to admit it, I do need one, when you're trying to shorten jeans it's kind of hand to do it by hand. So sewing machine it is. I went to the local pawn shop to see if they had some cheap ones, but the cheapest one was 40+ years old, and they marked it to be $95..... highly over priced for something so old.
So I figure if I'm going to be spending 100 on a sewing machine, I might as well get something new. So I decided to check the internet, and I found this site : www.oo.com.au , which sells a mini-multi purpose sewing machine for 38.95, and its 14.95 delivery. so, I ordered it and it will probably be delivered within the next 2 weeks, to my uni. I can't be bothered going to the post office for packages, just get it delivered to uni and it will end up in my mail box.
I don't know, it's like since I've moved to Rockhampton, I've been ordering a lot of things ove the internet and getting them sent to me... it's kind of sad that I can't find anything I want physically in Rockhampton.

11:37 am - I have an egg poacher
|
lol, no .. I didn't get a fox or random feral animal that goes into hen coups and poach eggs, but i got a machine that steams/boils/poaches eggs! Why you may ask ... ? well, because I could, and because I had points on my credit card that I could redeem... so yay, yay, yay .. .I have a egg poaching machine, and it also steams ... so I can finally get those dim-sim thingies from the supermarket and put them into the egg poachers... here is the description: http://www.breville.com.au/products_detail.asp?prod=293 ..

4:09 pm - contemplative
|
I'm at uni, on a Sunday again. I've often been at uni on a Sunday through out my university student career. But I thought that by the time I was 23 I would be out of uni and not working Sundays. Sundays should have been like scene out of "Sex and the City" where I'm sipping cocktails and having lunch with the girls, and spending that salary that I'm earning. Walking along southbank in clicking high heels and looking at farmers markets. Going to shows and going into boutique stores and actually buying things because you like it. Drinking coffee at little corner cafes under large gas heaters.
Sundays should have been brunch at the Vic market, and days of lazying around reading books that I'm interested (that I've purchased rather than library books). Uni, should have been a thing of the past. Wearing jeans and jumpers should have been a thing of the past, it should be shirts and dress pants all the way.
Sundays should have been cozy and restful and warm and filled with little unexpected, unplanned city trips. (that is obviously not happening)
The yuppie life style that I planned is not happening!
Now I have to ask myself, am I unhappy with how my life has turned out? No, I am not unhappy as such, it's not a bad life. But I guess sometimes I wonder, what would life be if I didn't choose to come here? Would I have eventually gotten a job? Would I have eventually been happy in the city? Would there have been another opportunity that I missed by coming here?
Actually, it's not regret, or anything as strong as regret, but I keep on thinking about the "past" these days. Thinking about the what ifs (?). What if my parents never came to Australia? What if I'm not culturally divided as I am now, what if my identity is solid and continuous as everyone around me? There aren't many people here who are not quite "Australian" and not quite "Chinese", you are either a Chinese person, steeped in it's culture and language and alliances or you're Australia, you've got the accent, the ruby supporting maroon wearing cricket playing self. I see that I don't really belong with either group and it's hard to feel comfortable with sitting on the fence.
Another thought that's been popping out here and there is "what if I never chose engineering"? what if I chose to go to monash and taken a single degree ? All those pivotal moments in life pass us by so fast and we seldom give them the importance that should be placed on them.
Now, would I have changed things if I could choose again? I don't know. Would you ?
WOULD YOU ?

11:04 pm - new reading list
|
I need to get some new reading material, just finished my "invisible man" by ralph ellison (which I would recommend to mauvedragon) and "the pleasures and sorrows of work" alain de botton (which I thought was really hyped up, didn't live up to the hype) . So any recommendations? I feel the need the need to read :P .
Please comment.

actually I was just reading through my past enteries, it seems my life has become a lot more bland and less exciting since starting this research post. It seems all I ever post about is not being motivated and tired or "not" wanting to do something. I haven't really posted anything real exciting/ entertaining either ... well I guess some exciting things have happened that I will post here :
1. I went to see taming of the shrew (bell shakespear company all female cast)
It was really good and funny, I found the story line intolerable, but the acting was good and it was really well cast. don't get me started on the nature of obediance ... wft... ? to be obident so that when one's husband tells you that it is the moon that is shinning and you clearly know it is the sun, you are "obedient" enough to say "yes, it is the moon" , that is crazy and dangerous (what if he say it's not a cliff and it is a cliff, think people personal safety). Almost insane. I have no respect for the person that "kate" becomes, she becomes a spineless nodding drone that hangs on every word of her husband. Her sister was prised because of her "sweet nature and obediance to her fathers wishes" that is so b.s. ..... I have definite misgivings about this play. Shakespeare should be shot and killed for that offense piece of writing. although it was funny when they were actually acting it out ... but seriously, this piece of male dominance propaganda should not be played! Especially not to little kids~!
What else? I went to Brisbane and Gold coast about 2 weeks, and it was pretty fun, there are photos on facebook, so if you're my real "friend" and not a random person who has come across my journal you will be able to see photos by clicking of photos of me :) .

9:59 am - uni again
|
Well, once again, it's Monday. Once again, I'm at uni. I'm knee deep in things that I should read, and I'm just not very motivated in reading them. Reading about RTDs right now and making notes on what elements of the device that I should be choosing. Not even sure if this company is the right one to go for. On a happier note, I found a weather station lying around on the ground in the plant sciences department that they said i could have. That's a bonus. Well, besides that nothing really exciting has happened.

Everything takes it's own time to come into fruition, and I am impatient. Such is the life that we lead. I will bide my time, I must because there is nothing else I can do.
