Intensity

Ah, the intensive week rehearsals have begun. Sigh. Where do I begin?

Tuesday was Fit as a Fiddle filming, after some rushed piano recording (which was not in time...oh well...!) And then the frantic search for something to burn it onto, in a proper format, and something to actually burn it...Sigh, technology...!(haha)

Jake and Harry looked HOT!!! Haha. :P It was awesome. Really. They were sooo awesome, not just in how they looked, but their dance moves and all! Mind you, it was hideously embarrrassing walking to uni from college in yellow pants, let alone running into Ron Farren-Price and having to explain taht I was doing filming, and that I didn't wear these normally! But I think it went very well. I can't wait to see it!

Wednesday was busy busy busy! I was woken up at 6am by an sms from the filming chick who thought I had her stuff (I was supposed to, but I didn't, coz I didn't recieve it from anybody...) who needed to pick it up at 7.45 that morning. So, I didn't get much sleep after that, as I lay in bed thinking, "Is it still too early to call people to look for her stuff?" Yes, it was weird enough walking around the college at about 6 in the morning in my pyjamas (yes, checking Eakins as well as the TV room), then being asked by this taxi driver, "Where do people who order taxis from Queen's normally wait?" yeah, good one.... :S

Anyway, rehearsals (11-6 argh!) went alright....intense, but made better by the fact that that morning, 9.30am, sarah and I went to buy our switchfoot tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, we made the decision to go (after some begging and great planning of a 160-character sms!) and were really worried that it'd be sold out. But no, we managed to get 3 tix (sarah, mel and me!) and we were SOOOOOO PUMPED yesterday!

Oh my gosh. Where do i start???????????????????????
IT WAS SOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!! I had such a good time.....see, I've never been to such a concert, so this was an exciting occassion :) And, there aren't many bands whose majority of songs I enjoy, so that was good. (All the more reason to go). Tell me, if you're in Perth (or elsewhere, not Melbourne, because you'd probably know that I do like the band...)...HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF SWITCHFOOT? (I'm trying to suss out what kind of market?? I don't know...they're not that well known, but seriously, they are really awesome :) )

So, I had lots of company to go with.....sarah, mel, cece, cece's friends (who I didn't meet, but that's ok...that will have to happen sometime!) pete, sonar, 2 other guys from Jude's, pete's sister, and one of her friends. It was sooooo good!!! And a nice place, it was at Hi-Fi Bar and Ballroom down Swanston St (Reason #3 I told mum why it was a good reason to go: Not very far, and easy to get there!)

Yeah, i haven't shut up about switchfoot all day. I'm sorry, I'm still on a high. I've been listening to it constantly for the past few days... :P And will be for the next week or two!!! Haha.

Okay, now to experiment with putting photos online with picasa/photobucket/some other programme which I haven't figured out...

Okay Okay...

Sorry, I've had computer troubles. The internet thingo keeps to Connect because The Web Page You Are Trying to View Is Not Available Offline. Connect to WHAT??? We're on the college BROADBAND....!!!
Sigh, anyway...
enough of my explosions.

First week of holidays.
Monday: Had music lesson at 9am. Yes. Early. At 8.15 I msged my teacher and asked to change my lesson time. She didn't get back. So I just figured, "I'll just go to this music lesson and come home and sleep." I ended up going for the 9am class. I really don't realise how early this is until it's the holidays!
Tuesday-Sunday: Have attempted to do two assignments. Have failed quite miserably. Haha.

Well, not entirely. I have managed to do some of the macro and QM assignments. Just haven't got very far with it.

So what have I spent my time on? Well, actually..piano practice. A few days, even a good solid 2hrs a day! (Lachie goes: "Are you punishing yourself even more???" Hah.)

Talking at Kernick. I love it. :) Sarah is gonna be my 2nd proxy mum (xing, you still are the original! Sarah, it's coz you cook and I love it!). And it's soo nice to have a kitchen and lounge. We spent a good number of hours talking about...stuff (we'll leave it there!). Although I just have to say there's a list....! :P And still quite unresolved. Still. 5 months later....(sigh)

Promising myself that I wouldn't try to fix iTunes till the summer break. But guess what? I have been. Stressing about how little space mky computer now has....so have been trying to remove all the high bit rate songs and replacing them...where from? The NETWORK!!!!! Mind you, the network is not entirely evil! Indeed, it is a great source of entertainment and interest.

Not much. Really. I've been wasting a lot of time.

Went shopping with Wen on Thursday. Yes, she skipped uni for it :P I'm not a bad influence! It was a concious decision! (Consulted, though! haha). And it was worth it. We both ended up buying dresses (ern, shh!!) I found a black dress :) I'm not sure if it's the perfect one, but it's pretty good! And not that expensive for an investment in the black dress :) So I'm happy...and something to wear to collegian's dinner! Zoe, fancy that you should ask about my shopping trip! I can't believe in a matter of about 4 days we both found black dresses! And we are so gonna rock this dinner! Haha. And yes, we shall have a full-blown fashion extravaganza!!! :D Perhaps past some specific doors....why don't we just walk in quad??? Haha.

Xing, I so want to go to shep now! And if you do ur placement there, I will def. visit!!!!! (no, not because somebody else is there. I would really go visit you in the country. Gives me an excuse of somebody to visit! I still haven't quite scored an invite to the country that's close enough!)

what else? Have had a number of RANDOM conversations! Haha Mel, you're with me there. They are random!!!!!!! Hah. enough said. (*cough cough* grammar???)

Anyway, here's a photo (hopefully it works..) of Queen's that tutor ben took. I'ts beautiful. Yes! I live here!!!!!! :D
(d'oh. I realised that I had attempted to put this photo in the post below, but obviously failed! So hopefully it works...no guarantees..I'm soo not good with this! Somebody has to teach me how to use this "hello" programme that i've downloaded and can't quite figure out so I can just put photos on my blog from picasa! Please!!!)

Oh! I can't believe i was talking to mum and I was telling her all about the Switchfoot concert! And she actually said, if my rehearsals end early *very very hopeful!!! fingers crossed!* and there are still tix...*fingers crossed extra hard!*, i can go!!! Cece, maybe I should just get a non-refundable ticket!

And about music....maybe I should write a song... :P Although my poetry skills suck. Anybody from school can def. attest to that!

And just because she likes it, here you go NAT, here is a mention :D

AND I CAN'T BELIEVE WEST COAST DIDN'T WIN!!! I was a bit shattered. I don't think describing my state as "Mildly disappointed - but the world will go on" was very good..it was just incredibly dulled down. And apparently one must pump blood around the body with the heart. It is obviously not able to think in music. Well, just coz he's HUNGARIAN!!! Haha. Oh well, I liked that quote from George Szell. And what happens if he said it in English? Surely translation can't have been lost then.....

Oh and mel and sarah, you guys looked HOT today!!! I can't wait to get that photo developed..and yeah, mel...you have the whole wedding dress technique downpat..better than us. You will be pro by the time you are married :P

OKay, i'm off. I was supposed to be in bed 15 mins ago....so much for that!

Yay for a big week ahead!

Nup, the photo failed. I'll try with picasa tomorrow or sometime. to describe, it's queen's quad in the moonlight. it's BEAUTIFUL!

woah...

I have a terrible knack for losing posts. But I found the old one, so I've published that (see below)
Now for some photos:

Queen Bennie and His Divine Velvet Jets (at the ICAC Soiree, Melbourne's finest music show)

And a photo of Queen's at night, taken by Ben the IT dude :) Yes, again, I live here!! :D

I am slowly getting through some work..pity I don't actually like doing it! Oh well.. :S

I'm plodding along...

and will go shopping tomorrow :) Myer to spend money from birthday (yeah, I know it was a looong time ago!) and bridge rd, hopefully, for the $10 cotton on place :) all is good.

Okay, I had computer troubles...I'm posting all those ones I couldn't before...Sorry for the delay!

so far...

The holidays are here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
finally! it's a pity though, that I have two assignments (QM and Macro) due basically in the first week (hah. Production week. Like anything's going to be done!) and the 2nd week is full of rehearsals! At least I have slept more hours!!! :) I'm so excited! haha.

The weekend (and holidays), unfortunately, did not start out the way I planned.
Except for Thursday...
wait up.
Thursday was good...I went shopping with Gem on lygon st. :) we went to venom, because I was convinced i wanted to buy the jacket! And yes, it was still there, and I bought it :D So that made me feel good. I will find some pics with me in it so you can all check it out :)

Had qm test on friday....it was rather unfortunate, because it was much harder than the practice test - there were more calculation questions and less definitions and theory (as in the practice). And the only formula/tables we got were the z- and t-tables, no formulae. which kinda sucks, but i'm glad i learnt all them formulae! (phew!) oh and it was really cool to see li afterwards :) i haven't seen u in the LONGEST time!! :P

i thought we didn't have SITR rehearsals, but yes we did. So that was basically 2pm onwards. I had an hour break in between just to myself (finally!) and then dinner, then had to have more rehearsals. Sigh. i am sooo rehearsaled out! We went till 9pm....oh my gosh. I was soo tired and cold! And exhausted. Ended up at kernick for a little while, then went to tom's and mel, wen, tom n i watched some of snatch. we didn't finish coz we were all wayyy too tired. oh well.

Saturday. bummed around. seriously was going to do a bit of work, but no. got hardly nothing done. managed to screw up my entire itunes. thanx tom for recovering so much of it! i just have to organise it all again. while most of it is all good, there is still a lot of stuff to resort, edit the names, find the paths for. which i am incredibly pissed off about. i should have just shared the file. i am such an idiot. sigh. i think i might just live for another 6-7 weeks without it being incredibly sorted/in playlists (sigh!!! i know.....how am i going to survive?) but i think the summer hoidays can be devoted to that. Sigh. I'm still trying to cope. *sniff!*

we went out for cy's birthday last night, to bismi, a malaysian/singaporean/indian restaurant on sydney rd. it was really good, just really peppery, and it was really spicy!!!! So, yes, my tolerance is incredibly low, but it was good. :) then we came home, bummed round, talked for a while, wen stayed till about 2.30 haha. yeah, we do late nights! :P

anyway..i shall have to do a bit of work today. i'm still comiserating over iTunes. Screw it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry. am not coping very well!

ok..lemme try with photos in another post....

for kat...

kat...thanx for your msg :) It made my day and put a large smile on my face. :D
I will continue to post stuff...events, fun stuff I find, beautiful things and what not! Gina and I are in music together! (ahh...you say..those musos! haha)
I'll try to update this weekend! And I promise to check out yours sometime...and yes, we should meet up :) We are on the same crescent, are we not? :P

Paul Harvey writes..

We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse. For my grandchildren, I'd like better.

I'd really like for them to know about hand me down clothes and homemade ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches. I really would. I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that you learn honesty by being cheated. I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the lawn and wash the car. And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new car when you are sixteen. It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies born and your old dog put to sleep. I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in. I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother/sister. And it's all right if you have to draw a line down the middle of the room,but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he's scared, I hope you let him.

When you want to see a movie and your little brother/sister wants to tag along, I hope you'll let him/her. I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely. On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don't ask your driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't be seen riding with someone as uncool as your Mom. If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how to make one instead of buying one. I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books. When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn to add and subtract in your head. I hope you get teased by your friends when you have your first crush on a boygirl, and when you talk back to your mother that you learn what ivory soap tastes like.

May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole. I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you don't like it. And if a friend offers you dope or a joint, I hope you realize he is not your friend. I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your Grandma/Grandpa and go fishing with your Uncle. May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the holidays. I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through your neighbor's window and that she hugs you and kisses you at Hannukah/Christmas time when you give her a plaster mold of your hand.

These things I wish for you - tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness. To me, it's the only way to appreciate life.

Written with a pen. Sealed with a kiss. I'm here for you. And if I die before you do, I'll go to heaven and wait for you.

The Interview with God

An email from my mum...

I dreamed I had an interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.
“If you have the time” I said.
God smiled. “My time is eternity.What questions do you have in mind for me?”
“What surprises you most about humankind?”
God answered...
“That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.”
“That they lose their health to make money...and then lose their money to restore their health.”
“That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neitherthe present nor the future.”
"That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.”

God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked...“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?”

“To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved.”
“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.”
“To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.”
“To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love ,and it can take many years to heal them.”
“To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.”
“To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings.”
“To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.”
“To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly."Is there anything else you would like your children to know?"
God smiled and said, “Just know that I am here... always.”

notes..

hi gina and kat..

firstly, gina..i saw you quoted me on your blog. No stress. I have no problems with that! Same goes for you, kat! And hi to you! :) but sadly, no, I didn't write that. I got it in an email, and thought it was just really nice, and really true. :)

Busy bee...

Yesterday's mammoth of a post was unfortunately lost, as I hit 'Publish'. So, I'm cut. ('That cut me deep, Shrek, real deep'. Haha...ok, moving on..!!)

Tom's birthday was last Wednesday, so we planned a great surprise :) Come on, it's his 18th! We gathered in Tweddle (yes, WE were in Tweddle...of all people, of all places!) Wen had organised cake, champers and people (yes, we love ring-arounds!). I was hyper, I'll admit. Haha. (Hyper is good...psycho is me. I think so, anyway!). Courtesy of Xing, here are some photos of the night:



Left: In Tweddle, making final preparations for the cake. Carryn's face, Mel, Wen's blue jumper, Pete doing something REALLY weird, CY on the stairs, Sarah actually being productive and somebody's head...wait, is that MINE???
Right: Me and the champagne. How wrong does that look? (Hah Xing, the new face of Safeway champagne? Can you really see that??? Hehe :P )


Below: Me pouring the champagne. Yeah, I'm not that good at it, don't worry!



I had a really busy weekend last weekend! On Friday night, there was Inter-collegiate swimming. Yes, this did bring back memories of IGSSA swimming, just that there were boys! (And it wasn't compulsory to go!) It was held at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre in Albert Park - that's where the swimming and other pool stuff (I guess) for the Commonwealth Games is going to be held...it's a good place :) I gotta love Queen's, seriously...we had organised buses down early, so that we could have a BBQ dinner! It was good...except for maybe when it got dark and the people cooking the meat couldn't quite tell if the meat was done or not...until somebody else ate it! Highlights pre-swimming include swinging on swings (ahh...haven't done that for a while!), watching the sun set, enjoying the park (sooo nice!!) and Duncan trying to feed the swans a sausage, carefully positioned at a place where....ahem. Yeah, you get the idea. And that social experiment to see if swans peck and how hard they peck and how much it hurts!

So, to the actual swimming. We had two busloads, which was AWESOME!! Come on, Ormond has about one and a half times the amount of students at their college and could afford half a busload. I think we did very well!
To cut a long story short, Congratulations to all the swimmers! The boys team was held brilliantly by three freshers who swam all the individual races (yes, sometimes back to back!) - we cheered sooo loudly for you guys! And to the girls, who ended up winning, congratulations on some amazing performances also! We ended up 2nd overall (to Ormond...grr...) but for so few people on the swim team, I think we did really really well! It was also so interesting to drive home, because I think it's cool to be going places you don't know. It's kinda funny driving through a city which is supposed to be your new home, but you don't know it. It feels like that with Melbourne a lot of the time. But it's so interesting...you pass by some really nice places :)
Some photos from the swimming:

Court on the blocks (note: Court is the next QCSSC President! Yay!!! I'm so happy for her!)

In full flight...or swim..whatever you want to call it!

This one's a bit rude, but funny! There goes Nealy (UPRIC and proud Queener) and the Ormond bee..!

Okay, then on Saturday night, we went out for Tom's birthday dinner. We were supposed to go to Chocolate Buddha, which is a Japanese fusion restaurant in Federation Square, hailed as one of Melbourne's best restaurants. Class-ay! haha However, the restaurnat doesn't take reservations on Saturday nights, so Tom n Wen headed down early to see if they could snag a table for...16 or so people. Yeah, that was hard...when there were 3000 people in Fed Square watching the rugby and they must have all decided to go have an expensive coffee. Oh well. We ended up going to a Chinese Restaurant on the corner of Little Bourke and Russell Sts. Ie. read: Chinatown! It was awesome :) We really had the two round tables with the spinning thingo in the middle...so chinese! :) It was so nice to eat Chinese again...I never quite remember how much I miss it until I eat some good Chinese! We then headed up Russell St (which becomes Lygon St) intending to consume some drinks/coffee. We found the perfect synthesis at Milan (ah, our little baby! Haha) Yes, we (all how many of us again?) crowded into the place (which is large) and got to recline on the couches :) Pete joined us..and yeah, this summed it up quite well:

Pete: You look all dressed up.

Me: Yeah, we went out for dinner.

Pete: Well, I'm only in....this....

Me: Yeah, this is what we do when we go out....we go all out.

Yep, it's true. I love going all out! Haha.

Anyway, Milan was awesome. Even the walk all the way up was really nice - It was a good night to be out! We passed some really interesting places on the way :) The buildings of Melbourne are really pretty (well, most of them!) It's just soo different to Perth, because Melbourne is a lot older and the architecture reflects that; for example, the Trade Hall was beautiful, and the Old Melbourne Gaol was really interesting as well :) (although kinda creepy...).

Saturday night: Nikhil looking...cheery...? Haha. We always manage to take weird ones of him...(it's his own fault that he doesn't look nice and smile for the camera!) Note that this is a perfect example of the confusion, angst and anxiety that happens at Chinese restaurats: the CHOPSTICKS!!! (Although his facial expression, I suspect, does not do justice to any inner feelings that most of us were feeling!) More photos from Tom's dinner are yet to come! I promise! :)

Sunday was a really busy day! I went to Jude's early in the morning (yes...the 9am service...I don't reccommend it for anybody who's had a late night the night before!) because I was busy that night. Then came home for brunch (yummy!) then had Singin' in the Rain rehearsals till 5.30. I managed to miss all but about 25mins of the Queen's Choir rehearsals, plus all of the SITR Orchestra rehearsal. Yeah, it was great when another orchestra member asked me at dinner: "Can you like, miss cast rehearsals, because we need you for the orchestra rehearsals?" Hah. Yeah, there needs to be 3 of me just to do everything I am supposed to! Anyway, I sang for chapel (with almost no rehearsals! Gotta love that sightreading!) and sat through the sermon edgily as I kept checking the time. Then, after chapel, I raced down the stairs, almost ran into Jon who was all ready in the suit for the ICAC SOIREE!!!

Yep, another inter-collegiate event, held at Melba Hall. Yes, the arts. Gotta love them :) I was representing Queen's in the Classical section. For the Jazz section, Harry and Bambi did a Summertime/Moondance thingo with Al at the piano and Eddie on kit. It was awesome....such a synthesis of smooth vocals, quirky hand actions, charm and awesome instrumental solos :) For the Contemporary Secion, Fabulous Queen Bennie and his Divine Velvet Jets made a reappearance with their signature song, People Get Ready. All the boys were SO HOT!! :) (Okay, that was meant in a good way, like, they were sooo awesome!) It was an incredibly enjoyable night..the standard was very high, I thought, and the performances were amazing! (And, just out of interest, I met Sally Davies there! It was exciting :) ) So, to the results, I came 3rd in the Classical Section, which I thought was alright, because I was INCREDIBLY nervous - my legs were shaking!!! So, all good. But kinda a pity, because I didn't help Queen's in a clean sweep..it would have been amazing, becuase Queen's came 1st in both the Jazz and Contemporary sections. I was sooo proud! I kinda felt like a mother/grandmother/aunt/other female relative! I cheered so loudly....so proud of them!!! :D Yep, good night. Photos will come later!

So, the hockey finals were last night. Unfortunately, Queen's lost the boys and girls to Ormond. Oh well, we played with so much spirit and guts; I'm still proud of them...esp. the boys...had to go down to watch them, because I've gone to almost every other guys hockey match! It was good that the finals were at night, because there was a lot of support (instead of in the morning at 7am! Who gets up for that kind of thing? Yeah, stop thinking it people, not me! At least not at 7am!!!) Hockey photos later...

So, that sums up what has been happening for me recently.

I had an AWESOME weekend..just busy. But I have two rolls of film to get developed, which I think has some PRICELESS photos ;) (hahaha...zoe, xing and mel..you know what I'm on about!) I'm going on a St Jude's camp this weekend, so I will be away....how exciting! (Haven't been out of Melbourne!) I'm really excited, just will be bogged down in work! Oh well, it'll be worth it....one more week of uni before holidays...so some well-earned rest, I hope!

Oh, and we are playign Angels and Mortals this week at QC. It's lots of fun....and very exciting! It's all an enigma, really!

Okay, this blog needs some photos of....stuff. Queen's. Why not? We all love it, so it should make an appearnace..:

Queen's front :)

Queen's East

View of the Labs (Eakins, the Dining Hall, is on the left). This is Queen's quad.

View from J of Queen's quad (well, buildings North, to the left, East, in front, and South, to the right). Yep, Queeen's is BEAUTIFUL!!! :D

Yep...

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world, who holds your hand in front of his friends. Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you. Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, "...that's her."

Ch-ch-changes!

Welcome, all! I have come to the dark side. Haha. No, I've had to switch to blogspot because blogspirit does not allow a great amount of...stuff. I've exceded my diskspace. You can still visit my previous additions at http://amusolife.blogspirit.com/ So, I hope this is a really good host :) Now, I'll to put some photos, because that's why I switched to this site...(ran out of space!!!)
So, for photos from the MADS turn:

Me n Mel




Group shot: Renee, Sarah, Xing, Carryn, Belle, Me

Three phantoms present at the turn (out of six!!!): Ben, Pete, Special K. Haha. They were really funny. (pick the best one...apparently the one with "phantom" scrawled across his face thinks he was the best one.....and he didn't even have a suit on!!! Sigh!)

Oh, last night Nick and I went to the Melbourne Uni Orchestra concert at the Melbourne Town Hall (twice within a week!). It was great :) yeah, I haven't quite filled in my concert report form. But there were a lot of important people there :) Always nice, although it's kinda different from home, because I actually know some people there, instead of here...it's seriously a large case of small fish in large ocean. Haha.
