I've been taking antibiotics to clear my skin up for the last week or so :D So far it's been working wonders (well, scars disappearing which is awesome)....except now there's a MASSIVE pimple on my cheek that sticks out like a sore thumb.
Anyway :D I went out shopping with Emilie and Vivs today at DFO South Wharf ;) After 3 months of inactive shopping, I went all out (well, not completely). I bought a Forever New top, a vest and other other things :D
Later bought some asian groceries and meat from Safeway to cook BKT at Em's :D Baked FREAKIN AWESOME COOKIES whilst waiting for Sooks to arrive :D Oh yea that reminds me, Emilie set her tea towel on fire HAHA! (Sorry Em)
Good break today, time to get back to studying tmr.

Weird.
I've always, ALWAYS wanted to be a graphics designer. Since I was 7 or something I dreamed (perhaps a little unrealistically) of working in Pixar animation studios. That dream didn't necessarily die, it's definitely something I hope to do but atm it's just a little far away.... or ok, unrealistic. I realised in year 2 that I wasn't naturally gifted. My best friend and I were very crafty, I'd say, but she always had a better hand. I had a good imagination, I just couldn't articulate these ideas on paper well enough.
Growing up playing the Sims 1, 2 AND 3 as well sorta inspired the whole architecture thing. Graphics design has been/is always at the back of my mind, though. Urgh, it kills me that I just can't draw things properly without everything looking so retarded. Part of this can also be due to my tendency to be OCD when drawing. Perfect lines = perfect for archi
I've been on the Pixar website for the entire week and the internship program looks fucking fantastic. Their artwork, well needless to say, are just masterpieces. I wish I was born with that much creativity.
It's like I'm stuck with my second preference. But don't get me wrong, I love architecture. I get to work with my eyes and hands so it's great, but graphic design is like a whole new level of an art project.
You know, looking back I always had that option. I could've just kept going with the drawing, the art lessons...definitely shouldn't have dropped Studio Arts but I wanted a 95 so there =S Got my 95 and I'm still not 100% satisfied. S.A. was just dragging my self esteem down as well. I dunno, I sometimes wish I could knock myself on the head when I was 8 and tell myself to keep drawing. Partly why I gave up that dream was because my dad (typical Asian parent) didn' see an 'A' in art as significant. I just got dragged into that culture where art wasn't seen as important as math and science.
In a way, I regret those choices I made so long ago. It goes to show how the darnest choices you make in life change your future just like THAT. But there's no point in looking back I suppose. I just saw archi as a 'proper' career, and Pixar a dream. Bloody asians :P I blame them.
Anyway, tmr's just another day.... I'll sleep on this for a while and rant to mum when she calls me. I'm going shopping with the girls tmr :) It's defo been a while. Btw, watched Time Traveller's Wife today AAAAAAARGH AMAZING!!!!!!! Can't tell you how much we cried :P
Hope everyon'e surviving uni exams/ VCE/ IB/ etc etc etc :)

I'm going to asian fail my exam in a few hours.
I just worked out that I have 2 hrs to write 12 pages. That's even more demanding than the VCE English exam.
Except I'm not aiming for 100% for this exam.
Sigh :(
I'm still hoping for a H2A though =S
We'll see :)

I have this sorta pre-exam thing I always do subconsciously.
I freak out 2 days before the exam.
Go all emotional.
I'll ask mum to call me then she'll calm me down in ... 2 seconds. Her lovely advice : "FAIL THEN FAIL LAH, IT'S OK" ........ yeaaaaaaa :P Nah, I always say I'm not ready for the exam and she'll tell me no one is ever ready. Thank God for mothers :D
I have tomorrow to save myself.
I hope the monthly thing doesn't visit me in the middle of exams cos I get the world's worst cramps ==" i.e. i feel like i'm giving birth to the twins.
Good luck for exams everyone :D
P/S: If I don't reply msgs....I think TPG IS SHIT. I'm gonna change to 3 next year. I PROMISE.

Every e-mail I receive from my dad...I tend to postpone reading. I think I've developed a phobia from reading his rubbish.
They're not all rubbish, mind you. Just 90% of them.
Before when he was trying to stir more shit up for my brother to read, he mentioned to Joseph that he was not religious. Doesn't believe in God etc etc etc. Which, is not surprising to me. He's barely got a conscience. To a degree, yes. In terms of family-related stuff, no. He's completely blind-sighted.
Now he's sending us e-mails telling us he's praying for our education. Er, yea. Not long ago he said he didn't want to finance our education. Sorry, dad. My course is 5 yrs long and I'm doing masters, thank you very much.
Pray, my ass. Pray for forgiveness, more like. You're no saint to me.
Btw I hope Joy gets hit by a truck or something.

I have to rant a bit more. I gave up studying at 3pm today. I blame the heat.
Last week I was using my macbook pro after washing my hands and YEA I'M SUCH A GENIUS. MY TRACKPAD IS FECKED.
The clicker doesn't work now =="
I frantically searched on the internet what to do cos sneaky Apple have little sensors built in macbooks that turn red once water has creeped in ==" And water spillages aren't covered by the warranty.
Got a reply saying I should use Cuisine alcohol.
Regardless, sent it in to the Apple store to get it checked out. I highly doubt they'll replace it, but it's worth a try.
After using macs for so long.............I really hate Windows LOL.
