party!

Went to Nick Woon's, a baker friend, 21st party last night.

It was held at Kingston Link Golf Course/Function Centre, just off Wellington Rd in Rowville. It's a very impressive place, especially after you drive over the bridge and into a estate looking area, complete with gate walls and lovely lawns. The function room itself wasn't very huge, but big enough to accomodate for 50 - 100 people comfortably. There was catering for fingerfood and the bar had a tab for lots of beer and soft drinks, so it was really good. It looked expensive, but it's not a bad place to keep in mind for your own 21st.

Night started out nice and awkward. Besides my baker's crew, I didn't really know anyone else. I was also driving, so I wasn't able to drink to boost up with fake confidence. I actually planned to leave early, since I had work at 7AM (actually at work now, and thought I started at 730AM so I was late...), but the night ended up being lots of fun, and I stayed til the end at 1AM with my friends. I was really glad I got an invite, cause it was strict numbers, and even some people working at baker's didn't get one =]

lol I also met Nick's sister, May (think it was shortened from seomthing-May), just a hi while she took my photo with Nick. But she was really pretty, wore a nice dress, and I have a feeling I've seen her before at uni, maybe at the bus stop. I didn't have the courage to try and strike up a conversation with her after though =[ maybe I can facebook her...I'm considering joining tonight to grab some of the photos that my friends took at the party.

ah joining facebook..I thought I saw the sun explode this morning.

teoh,

the bottle speaks.


4 stages of learning from a bad lecturer:

boring/not understanding - either he speaks with a heavy accent, stutters alot, doesn't know what he's teaching, or you start to count er's and um's instead of sheep.

sleeping - cause you're tired of a) lecturer b) lack of sleep last night c) uni d) wearing weak glasses

frustrating - cause you know you're not going to be able to do the weekly prac work, never ending assignments, difficult tests and the dreaded exams.

failing. yup.

now to struggle to do this assignment for the subject I was drawing the above in.

teoh,

selling thelooop

Being bored at work:

The estimated value of thelooop.blogspot.com is: $2
This value is represents the approximate value of the website entered. Of course, this value does NOT include the worth of the company behind the website but rather is an estimated value of the website itself. Some of these valuation factors include: PageRank, traffic, backlinks, age of the domain, directory listings, and other items not shown in the summary above.
Courtesy of sitevaluecalculator.com. Pretty sure that I'm not allowed to sell a blog that isn't even hosted by me though =[ shame, I could use a coke from the vending machine right now... Let's aim for $5 by the end of the year, ey?

Today was my day off, but I went into uni anyway for some group work at 10AM. After some boring work, went off to wander around uni. Pretty exciting to see who you'll bump into, as I'm not usually at uni at this time.

Ran into esther and samantha, so we had a chat at the campus center. Then met up with Lillian and her friends Suki and Karen. Funny thing happened, after spending about 40 minutes in their company...

Suki: Do you have a brother by any chance?
me: *nods yup.
Suki: Is his name Anthony?
me: o.O how do you know that?
Suki: I go to the same church...you remind me alot of him.

Now, I'm told me and my brother don't look that simliar...sound alike, but not look. Scary how we might act like each other. =S

But hey. What a small world huh?

needs a routine.


I want melon pan (bread).

After watching Yakitate! Japan, I now of course want to make bread. Typical. And since I can't find melon pan anywhere (disappointing bread top =[), I've decided to give this one a crack on saturday. I'll let you know how that goes.

Speaking of projects, finding the DDR mat very hard. That site I posted previously takes lots of welding, and I don't particularly want to do that. I'm thinking maybe looking into types of timber that could work. Again, this will probably have to wait til next holidays to start, but no harm on thinking about it...

I'm living by myself again in the apartment. It's quiet lonely, now that I've experienced apartment sharing in queensland. Upstairs indian people are very annoying too. They talk so loudly and late at night. Got woken up at 3 am last thursday grrr. Wild plans of throwing stink bombs into their apartment plague my mind...

Been trying to make new groups at uni, since my last few groups didn't work out. Alot of them are amor, but it's been okay so far. Just glad I was able to find new people to work with and not struck out fishing randoms again..although my last randoms turned out pretty well.

today was my free tuesday...planned to go to officework to buy another notebook and stapler, but never ended up going. I definitely need a routine, instead of staying at the apartment all day =_= excerise could be an option...is it time to rejoin the gym perhaps?

oh, and I could be changing to 3 very soon. my whole group is now on 3 for goodness sake. won't be able to talk to ann anymore though =[ goodbye 2300 free minutes.

teoh,

my ki is your ki

I've got this feeling in my stomach that something isn't quite right. It's been there since late last week, and it's not going away. For a stab, it might be uni. It could be getting used to living alone, especially after queensland. I wonder what it is..


On the bus on the right to ddr with ling, I noticed there was a myki machine installed. It's little box with an display screen, saying 'get ready for myki!'. apparently it's already been implemented in places like Geelong and Bendigo (I wonder if our dentist friends there have used it), but no date of release here in Melbourne.

It's a system used in many places over-seas, including Singapore, where you have a single card with prepaid money in it. You swipe your card when you get on, and again when you get off. The system them calculates what zones you've been on and deducts money from you. If you swipe it again 3 hours later, it will also detect this and charge you less to make the total expenses equal a daily cost. Pretty smart.

Now that I think about it, Julian used something simliar up in Queensland as well.

Btw, yes I've started using labels cause Marco has convinced me how smart they are. But I'll probably give up sometime soon.

teoh,

and cut.

that's a holiday wrap people.

this holiday was pretty crazy for me. crammed a lot of things at the beginning...rushed off to queensland..and then surprisingly crammed a few more things at the end.

I've got a lot to think about from this holiday. things to chew over on those lonely nights in the apartment, as I didn't manage to find a new roommate (which I'm perfectly fine about tbh).

attachment was a common theme in my thoughts. Anyone got a who-to-deal-with-change-for-dummies guide? I've been thinking to try and join a outside club of some sorts to try and individualize myself. The thing is to try and find something interesting...and the time.

pact: try and implement one positive change to myself this semester.
disappointed: didn't get my new star wars book in time this holidays. oh the emotion.
unkeen: uni
positive: uni timetable seems better

I wish everyone I might not see for awhile a good semester and all the best. take care and I can't wait to see you all next holidays for more fun and memories.

teoh,

p.s I signed up for guitar hero tournament at timezone knox today =]
