I'm kind of disappointed with movies nowadays.

Mi3 had impossible sceans.
The Da Vinci Code was boring.
X-Men 3 was just alright. (considering that it had Wolferine/Hugh Jackman, my fav character/actor... this is a bad sign.)


Pirates of the Caribbean, take 2! PLEASE be good! Johnny Deap! Save the Theatres! Save my disillusioned soul!

Maybe my 'country-style' theatres aren't good enough? I need the big bang sound systems of Singapore to get me fired up? Maybe my mind thinks to far ahead for? I predicted the good friend was the bad guy in Mi3 easily. I answered my friend's lame questions easily - "What is unlawful, but would make you stay in prision?" "What is yours but other people use more often than you?". ok ok.. the latter point just proves that I'm lame as them. But THAT's NOT THE POINT! *waves fists in the air* Movies are just boring nowadays. I blame the Titanic. That's right. If the silly boat hadn't drove itself into a big icecube thingy, there wouldn't have been an epic movie years later that drove movie standards up - so high until no other movie can ever make my heart flow with tears again! Bah.

Some background: Last week was really bad for me. I acquired a weirdo (who is still calling me, and I'm still ignoring him), I couldn't finish my assignment on time, my kettle leaks, my keys got locked in the laundry room and no one returned them to me, and then my spare key got lost 'cos I lent it to Bobby who wanted to download movies and tv shows in my room while I watched Da Vinci Code (which was boring)... and he somehow decided to walk home first and happened to lose my only spare key in the dark along some roadside five minutes from my hall.

I was so angry with Bobby then (Tuesday night). So angry that I called 2 friends who I knew were awake at that time. Just to vent my feelings. I usually never call past midnight. Never. The one time I called my older brother past midnight - on the request of my mom, my older brother panicked. He thought I was in serious trouble.

I slept and felt better the next day. But I still called my mom just to vent my feelings a bit more. The following is an e-mail I sent to my parents today.




Hi Dad, hi Mom,

I'm fine now. I'm not going to lend my room to that guy anymore. or any other guy. Actually, you're right, he's the only one who had the audascity to 'borrow' my room all the time. The good news is that I think he feels super gulity now, and he's on his tip-toes around me all the time now. Today he's in Fenner again (I know 'cos he called my room phone with another Fenner hall phone), but he didn't ask me to help open the fenner door for him anymore, in fact, he was asking for the room numbers of other friends who stay in Fenner too. Doesn't look like he's going to bug me anymore. hahah.. .that guy is really a scary cat when you come to know him better. only acts tough. so... in a sense, something good came out of this. I have a reason to be .. hmmm... how to put it... not so nice to him.

The bad news is that I feel like the Fenner admin people and the Psychology (I lost ALL my keys, including the one to the psychology building) think I'm super irresponsible.

yeah, and I know God looks out for me. I always thought I had incredible luck for one as blur as me. yup, so... I know God looks out for me. So MUMMY!!!! KEEP PRAYING!!!

Okay, the kettle I'll settle this weekend. The phone .. maybe tomorrow. I'll just get a new number, not a new phone. The phones here don't interest me. Need to research a bit more to figure out what model I like. I'm still hoping the idiot will give up soon. My good girl friend, Anna, over here, was stalked in the mall today. An Aussie, tall, and muscular guy followed her around, into a female shoe shop... and when she ducked down, and he thought she was gone, it was apparently very obvious he was panicking and trying to find her. Anna callled me, and said she doesn't believe in coincidences... and to watch out for this guy... *sigh* bothersome fella. I really hope it's not the same guy bothering us both now.

Should I be happy or sad? Maybe I'm just crazy.

Friday:

Weird guy calls again and admits he dialed the wrong number... and then goes on to ask me what's my nationality, trying to pick the conversation right off from the last weird call. hung up. Was Seriously Stressed (assignment due that day) but I still could tell him off. hmmm... maybe I couldn't be bothered.

Lecturer breaks leg. Kioloa Trip (Friday to Sunday, up some freezing farm, near the coast.) for honours students gets cancelled. Which is a relief of sorts 'cos I couldn't make the assignment dateline.


Saturday:

I finally hand in my assignment. It's amazing I got it done. 2,500 words in 2 days. I started earlier... I did! but I changed my topic the day before the assignment was due... and started from scratch. The first time I let myself into the psych building. it was evening, and no one was there... I had the whole place to myself. Felt a bit proud. "Yes, I am a honours student with privileges" kind of feeling.


Sunday:

Early morning (2-3am). I lock my keys in the laundry room. Went to bed.
Morning (9.30am). Someone opened the laundry room... but the keys are gone. Duty warden, the senior resident, no one... has called to give them back. =(

Missed church [Shawn:"Yeah, I think it's better if you stayed in your room."],
and late night tea [Anna:"Stop losing things lah."].

ah... there goes my honours privileges...

a weird guy called me last night. he said something along the lines of 'let's make love'. I switched off my phone. I think he just called me again. I'm currently ignoring all calls that my handphone can't ID.

He claims to be a Ben, and that I'm a great kisser and that I gave him my mobile number, saying he could call me. Which is weird, cos no matter how much I drink I have never forgotten BIG things like that. AND the fact that I only went clubbing 3 times this year. Once in S'pore with Von and her friends who'll take care of me. Once in Melb with Winnie and my older brother, who'll take care of me... besides, I was the one taking care of her happy 'I'm not a lesbian, but I think you're hot' friend. and Once in Sydney with Li-ray, who'll take care of me... and I only had 2 drinks that night.

AND I would like to point out that I don't go around randomly kissing strangers, thank you very much.

He refused to describe how he looks, and he has no idea what I look either, he was just pretending to know what I look like... 'you're Asian, right? and you've got a good body. ...' stupid idiot.

There are somethings I just don't do, no matter what, cos it's not me. This Guy is A Faker. A Weird, Perverted Faker. I'm so sad. My friend tells me I stayed too long on the phone, and it'll entice the guy, and the guy would call back... and he did! I thought maybe my friend was playing a joke on me at first, but it went on too long for it to be a joke. I should have shouted **** off to the guy or something, instead of going.. 'erm, I'm going to put down the phone now.'

IF THIS IS A JOKE BY SOMEONE, I HATE YOU.

I read this on a Christian-guitar website... so true, so true.

There are 3 kinds of people in our lives:
1. Yesterday people
- always trying to drag you to the past

2. Today people
- those that are willing to accept you in the state where they first met you.
- they are the 'fun' people.
- they get jealous when you are promoted in front of them.

3. Future bearers
- those who are undeniably tied to helping you enter the future.
- they are people taking us somewhere, walking with us.
- without them, my life is over.

Sort of a poem. This is what always happens when I try to be poetic. I fail after the first stanza. I think that's the extent of my creativity. I can write one-liners, one stanza of a poem and that's it. *tears* Anyway, you guys out there can finish it. or join me in my pain. ahahaha...

ahem. my first stanza:

Tears unbidden flow,
for a love that's gone.
Loved but lonely soul,
Where do you belong?


The rest of my crazy thoughts just couldn't match up with the beauty of the first stanza, or it's rhythm. and it doesn't even rhyme anymore...... *more tears* I've forgotten all my literature! I can't remember the proper kinds of rhythms for poems anymore. so I can only try to fit every line into 5 syllables. *screams into pillow* My disjointed thoughts:

By the barren woods,
she lingers alone.
The rose in her hand
comforts her, wounds her.

The warm fleeting sun
was but a sweet dream.
Faded memory
stolen by the wind.

She shivers with cold
having known the sun.
Lost wandering soul,
Where are you to go?


Just needed to get this out of my system.

Disclaimer: I am Not BLUR!!!!

Okay.. some background first... I go to Canberra Chinese Church over here, and every Friday I have Bible Study. As you can tell from the name, almost everyone there is Chinese.


So, yesterday Kim told me she'll pick me up at Fenner at 7.40. At exactly 7.40, a white car parks in front of me, and a lovely Caucasian girl comes up to me asking me something, which I hear as:" Are you going to CC?" Canberra Christian Church? maybe Kim sent someone else to pick me up... "Yeah. Do you know Ying?" No. Hey? there's a Ying?

Next thing I know I'm sitting in a car, there's another white girl in the driver's seat, and a poor white guy with a broken leg in the back seat. maybe they're a visiting church...

And then a chinese guy, followed by a chinese girl shows up. And then the driver says:" I was told only 2 ppl"... And THEN I knew something was definitely wrong.

They were the CLC, Canberra Life Center church ppl. Argh!!!!! I sat there for like a full 3 minutes before realising my mistake. I'm sort of embarassed, but these kind of things happen to me so often, I think I'm getting used to it.


Kim laughed so hard when I told her.

See? I wasn't bluffing. My older brother made me lie down for his house hunting photos. Oh wow... a bed can fit in the bedroom...













I pity the fella who stays in the room above the entrance to the car park... Everyone can see right into the room. Night time will be horrible, all the headlights... The strange thing is that the rent for this place isn't cheaper than the other units.










Winnie! My childhood church friend. In the docile Luna Park.


















Look carefully... there's a penguin underneath my older brother's feet.












The only other penguin photo I could take. They have hatches which you can look into... it has a faint musty smell.





























Scenery shots. Phillip Island. yes, that's me climbing the tree. I actually wanted my older brother to do it, but he gave me the 'yeah-right' look, so I climbed it to prove it was 'climbable'.












































Random signs. Phillip Island.































There are apparently seals on the far, far island. That black line near the horizon. You put in a 2 dollar coin to see them through a telescope... for only 30 seconds! (it felt like it, they don't actually say.) sucks your money.




hahaha. I like this the best. Don't know if you can see the words here... It says:"Please check under your car (for penguins) before driving away"

I hope I'm immune to measles still... silly ppl sent this email on friday to let us know we can be immunised against measles on that friday itself or the next day. It's monday now! Too late...

TO ALL RESIDENTS OF ANU
Possible exposure to measles at ANU

ACT Health has been notified of a confirmed case of measles that had several meals
at Bruce Hall Dining Room on Friday, Saturday and Sunday while they were unknowingly
infectious.

This case has since been linked to a national outbreak of measles. Cases have been
reported in Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales and the
ACT. There is a clear possibility that further cases of measles may occur at the ANU
in the next few weeks.

As a result, ACT Health is offering Measles, Mumps, Rubella immunisation to all ANU
residents in order to prevent an outbreak of measles.

ACT Health is holding a special immunisation clinic at the University Health Service
on Friday 28 April and Saturday 29 April 2006 to vaccinate residents with MMR
vaccine.
ANU residents born after 1965, and have not had two doses of a measles containing
vaccine may be susceptible to measles and are urged to have MMR vaccine as soon as
possible. If you are in this group please ring 62054403 during office hours on
Friday or page 62690495 after hours for an appointment to be vaccinated.

(People born in 1965 and earlier have a natural immunity to Measles as it was a
common childhood disease in those days.)

Residents are also asked to be vigilant in looking for signs and symptoms of
measles. These include: fever, rash, runny nose, cough and sore eyes. Symptoms
usually worsen over three days and a rash appears between the third and seventh day
of the illness. Persons who develop these symptoms are asked to avoid contact with
others and to seek medical advice. It is important to phone ahead to the doctor or
hospital so that precautions can be taken to prevent the further spread of
infection.

A measles fact sheet is attached for your information. If you have any concerns in
regard to your susceptibility to measles or the vaccine, please consult your GP or
the Health Protection Service communicable disease information line on 62052155.

Yours sincerely

Dr Paul Dugdale
Chief Health Officer
