Sentiment remains unchanged: studying sucks! Once I get through these 2 next days of consecutive exams, it'll all be over! I'm sick of 'trying' to study. I don't want 10 days to study, it becomes in reality 2 days anyway. It's much more motivating to actually have an exam period of 2 weeks rather than 4 weeks I only spend the extra days procrastinating via 'attempting' excercise, cleaning (whether it be the computer or my room!), or listening to extra loud music. It's even worse when everyone you know has already finished their exams (like 2-3 weeks ago).
All I can think about now is about what I can do in the holidays, eg. explore new city complexes (there's a really, really bright and cute looking stationery shop in Melbourne Central now), buying stuff, sleep(!), actually getting a proper job -yes, I know it's most likely too late-, extended forum-ing, excercise (ke!), d/ling unnecessary mp3s, romanising lyrics, cleaning, etc. I can't wait when this is over!

i-mode *drools* This had always been the epitome of a Japanese mobile phone, but on a comparison basis, I think 3 still rules the 3G waves in Australia right now. Although the Telstra phones are much more 'Japanese', $0.004/kb d/l is cheaper on 3, than $0.022/kb - not that I even use the net on my phone, or even use the 3 sim cared Plus someone always finds a way to 'extort' 3! I know I already did! Thanks for the free LG u8110, 3 Do I have a chance at getting a free LG u8120 as well?

Cool, a phone with a digital compass & a thermometer. Too bad it's ugly and everything else... Nokia's are so passe now, their new designs are either way-out there (ie, impractical and unsuable or just boring (ie, reusing the same basic design repeatedly) Although, maybe I should give credit to the 7200 though... But a leather/cloth outer case gets dirty, therefore impratical.

Electrical circuits is going to kill me... Hoping, non-literally of-course, because death by electricity is far from painless. This subject sucks. Why is this subject core for a software engineering student? I've no idea how to analyse a circuit at all, after doing the subject for 10 weeks! I'm so tempted to not hand in the mini assignment this week. How much harm could losing 2% do, especially when I usually only achieve 50% of it, ie 1% of out the whole semester mark? Yeah, I usually only get half of it right!
Quote from the official website for the subject, 431-103 Electrical Circuits
"When you work regularly in this subject, and that is about 7 to 10 hours of self-study work a week, you are going to achieve excellent outcomes. From experience, it is well known that spending any less effort is a sure recipe for unpleasant outcomes."
Well, considering I spend about less than 2 hours on this subject properly, am I doomed to fail?

Omg, what a suX0rs day! First of all it was hot and windy... My number one meterological enemy is wind!!! Hot, hot, hot! I don't like that either! Work was okei... I think I've been calling a girl by her wrong name, oh well - it was similar. Coming home at 7pm, mum told me I had missed a call from Monday afternoon. Turned out to be a finance recruitment centre ;_; I can't believe I've practically missed out on such an opporunity. And to top it off the stupid VCR timer recorder settings didn't work and I missed the first half of The OC!

Went out last night w/ the girls as a semi-celebration of D's birthday. Note to self: don't go to Red Emperor - they like overcharging naive-looking female students. 2 times in a row O_o
Study status: still nil

Arghh, scary! SoKorean Site One minute it was normal, next minute it's hacked! Why did I have to see that scary face at night? I wonder if it's a nuclear weapons thing? I'm scared now - it's 12:02am. Wah ;_;

Went shopping today: W00t! Thank God it didn't rain like it was supposed to, was a little windy though I got my lemmings: Jurlique Rose Silk Dust & Jurlique Calendula Cream. Another $50+ moisturiser; this time it better do what it should do. Pfft, the last one: "moisture surge extra", whatever! Ahh, GWP makes me happy even if they're sub-standard. I just like getting things for free With all the hype about the new shopping complexes opening up (QV, GPO, Melbourne Central) both QV and GPO looks unshoppable and Melbourne Central is okei. QV+GPO both cater for special occasion wear or people who don't care about their money. Returned home with a dodgy jacket which will be passe in a few seasons.

It feels very much like a Friday, except it's not. Having a Fly Buys card finally has paid off! Some 'free' gift vouchers should be coming our way soon I'm in holiday mode - I think.

Wed. 15.9.2004 Silence
So, it's been a week, huh? Geocities and its advertising javascripts give my pages a million runtime errors... boo! So if you get annoyed at them, sorry... These 15 minute maxmimum use computers are such a joke. Once my time runs out, I log-off and then I log back in again. Shouldn't there be some sort of log system that restricts users like me? Oh well, no one's lining up for one of these computers, so might as well take advantage. Thank God for the holidays! I'm so burnt out over this whole uni and boring job thing. Finally someone who works at my place also attends Melb Uni - previously it had only seemed be all Vic Uni students and I had started getting a little worried. Hmm, 15 minutes is really not much...
15 minutes later: Ahh, abusing this system is fun; okei, maybe not, some scary people that seem to be desperate for a computer are looking at me strangely... They're on to me (Argh!) They realised the red-faced Asian girl with the pink over white jumper is definately doing over-time on these time-limited computers. Okei, I'll logout... soon!

Wed. 8.9.2004 Utada - The Workout (Preview)
So... I come early in anticipation that I will make up a lab class for one that I'll miss on Friday. Turns out all Wednesday Labs have been cancelled since the start of this semester -_- What?! I am terribly wasting my precious time sitting in front of this lab computer, being as confused as ever! I could be studying for another yucky mid-sem test. I could have also slept in like 2 hours more!!! See me and you'll see a terribly sleep deprived girl And not to mention fat. I've gotten so fat... ;_; But I'm oh so hungry. As I walk towards the ICT building all I could think about was fast food. Okei, Ellie, what's wrong with you?

And it's another season. At uni procrastinating; I should be studying for my accounting mid-sem that is on tmrw. Annie plays Harvest Moon?! That's like my brother's repeat game - one he frequently re-downloads because he deletes it and then wants to play it again and again... I do not have the patience to play those types of games. Give me tetris and its million variants any day Life looks like it's heading down boringville again. I so can't wait till the holidays!
Just checked my site at uni. How come I get so many runtime errors? I bet it's geocities with the ad banner javascripts...

Arghh, my right eye is all red?! Huh, I have no idea how... Will have to pop into pharmacy for my first ever purhcase of eye drops I got my first phish today. What's a phish? Well, it's an email from phishers; an official looking email portraying to look like a real bank email requesting for personal information such as passwords. That big things that gave it away was that I don't even have an ANZ account(!) and the hyperlink didn't even go to anz at all. Anyway, organsiations are not allowed to ask for your passwords online anyway

I was just going to say: "Okei, change of plans, I'm going to do this" Then I realise, this Juris Doctor degree costs $78,000 for just 2 years! With that, I could buy Annie's dream car (though, couldn't buy mine) That is a lot for a graduate law degree. Monash's LLM is just the same -_- But these are all just dreams up in the air. For now, I just need to concentrate on figuring out these circuit diagrams and programming bugs...

Sun. 22.8.2004 Shakaya - Sublime
I had the most strangest dream last night. I won't elaborate, but it involved a $170 Hermes Hello Kitty Cap present, which doesn't even exist in real life. What is my suboncious brain thinking? It's weird that's all. I miss having my free Saturdays so much; now it's filled with a 9-5 working and the later hours feeling extra dreary. Did you know N earns $20/hr for office work - so envious! At least she still has all her weekends free...
Looks like someone's caught the expensive label bug. Now, if only I was on N's annual salary of about $18,000 at this 'tender' age of 19, I'd definately be a designer bag lady, as supposed to being a "bag-lady"
Btw, I just want to go to that I-ball. No one's asked me and I don't know anyone going, so... I don't think I will be going, besides semester's getting busy. Actually make that to I will definately not be going!

Thu. 19.8.2004 Cyrstal Kay - Kataomoi
I now officially express interest into going to a uni ball - the I-ball!!! It's at the Grand Hyatt and it's called Secret Garden and has a beautifully whimsical poster promoting it. I don't care about the $70+ ticket... This is despite the fact I know nobody going and I'm definately not in a state to present myself (or am I ever?!) Plus, it's the day before the business finance mid-sem...

Oh yea, the 50's are back! Thank whoever controls the fashion world. I could not stand that whole 80's retro and 60's mod crap; just sooo not me! Time to bring out the classic cardigans and pretty skirts I have been neglecting my skirts -not that they are pretty anyway. Oh, do bear in mind that I don't like any of the stuff featured in the "Must Have" section of that site plus the model irks me!

Can speak today but can't sing. I look around in most of my lectures and it seems to indicate I am in for a very solitary semester Terribly depressing. Need to set up some lunch dates or something, kekeke Finally bought my course notes. Feeling misplaced again... you know, that same stupid feeling I had after the formal. Though, that doesn't mean that this is the first ever since 2 years I'm feeling misplaced again.

Wed. 28.7.2004 Gotou Maki - Aitte Donna
And today I cannot even speak. I don't have a class until 4:15 today. Work has now moved to Tuesday. A new girl 'R' was there yesterday. Why am I on the same rate as her despite being 2 years older than her? -_- She's easy to talk to, so that's good.
(Later)Went to uni for the one class I had and for the 3 hours, from home and back to home, I did not say a word. Seriously! Currently, it's just easier to avoid people and be solitary than speak!

Mon. 26.7.2004 Utada - Devil Inside (Richard Vission Experience)
My voice is so hoarse today, it's not funny. IFA(accounting) looks deserted except for Jun Wei. SE is absolutely tiny. And, well, well, look who's in this class as well; 'A' Arghh! There's about 100 ppl, w/ the same predictable ratio 9:1 males:females. Great This semester is going to be a complete shocker. Anyone who does Electrical Circuits & SE in the same semester must be certified insane; I am currently waiting for my certificate.

Have caught a cold and trying to recover. Uni starts again tommorow, which I can not believe. I think having to go to work changes the whole perspective of holidays. I can't actually sleep in everyday, but at least it gets me out of the house even if only for 2 days. Baci icecream tastes nice. And how is everybody's timetables?

Mon. 19.7.2004 BoA - My Name
This holidays has been calling-help-lines holiday. It's so frustration when you have to be put on hold and listen to their 'music' or whatnot. I really don't want to bag the Indian Call Centres (Hewlett Packard & 3)- or any type of call centre, in fact, but it can be such a frustrating experience. I understand that is their job to be terribly thorough and what not, especially as they can't see the actual product. But sometimes you just know that they are wrong and you are right - I really hope I'm not coming across as arrogant! But I'll end this on a good note, my 2nd LG phone arrived Yay for the uncentralised system of 3.

Went out with the girls last night after work. Obviously gave up on the dressy option. The only kind of dressy thing I had on was my only pair of earings I like through re-pierced holes. Since I rarely wear earings, I have to 're-pierce' the hole each time I wear them. Ate dinner at a posh restuarant (okei, not that posh...), Red Emperor. In hingsight, I should have ordered a 'Fruit Cup'. Looked nice at the time and I still want to try one Then attempted to go bar-hopping, but with time restrictions on Nids & D, spent 5 seconds at Bond Lounge Bar before we all came across a cute, little one called Manchester Lane. Reminder note for everyone: Nids & Ami would like one of their (first) dates to happen here. An excellent night out

Wed. 14.7.2004 Silence
Spent the day yesterday w/ Ami going around Bridge Rd & the city. Came home empty handed, but brain was filled in w/ a lot of Ami's dilemmas and going ons. And yes, Annie... I saw you and D on Australian Idol last night So now, you can make the total of who saw you to at least two!
The O.C. One word: Yum Okei, seriously, it's like watching daytime soaps on fast foward but with younger people and really, really good clothes. But if Ten wants to attract more viewers, they've really got to stop promoting it non-stop because it's annoying.
Btw, I'm going to live only till 76.1, according to that life expectancy test thingy.

Sun. 11.7.2004 National Life Expectancy Test
Spent the day at Nidhi's house It's so strange seeing both D & Nidhi driving us - makes me feel like practicing and actually going for my P's. It's not as if I did get them I'd be going out more; don't think I'm that kind of person; but at least I can drive independently. Ate alot, alot, alot of food! Heard many stories and as usual the girls were trying to squeeze any type of information out of me. Unfortuntely, they must have left disappointingly since I failed to mention anything of intrest to them. Arghh, such is my own life More food followed at the Menton Hotel, after a botched attempt at trying bowling. Very full, but thirsty. Extra day of work tmrw.

Fri. 9.7.2004 Soulhead - I'm Just Going Down
Um, results... haha yeah -_- Can't even get a H2A average can I? They were terribly mediocre and the marks all suggest that I must have done quite bad in the exam components. Especially when one considers my highest mark was in maths?! Arghh, I suck!
About the phones? Well, by now, only one of them has arrived Not happy, 3. I called them up yesterday and they said it would arrive definately by today? Well, it's nearly 4pm - I really don't think they'll be much chance of another satchelled LG coming my way...

Tue. 6.7.2004 Silence
It's already July and what have I achieved? Nothing - as usual. Replacement handsfree came in today, should be getting the replacement phones this morning (It's 1am now). Yes, I'm getting another new phone, w00t! It's the LG u8110, muhahaha! Can't believe uni starts in less than 3 weeks time, I really need more weeks. I think I'm watching too much TV; The Apprentic, Big Brother, Rove Live, News (from 4:30 to 7:00) and anything else that happens to be on. Arghh, my life is completely lacking direction. I'm so afraid that in 10-20 years time, I'll be this huge, fat and ugly lady working in a dead end job
Omg, feel so stupid now, okei maybe not that stupid. Have just realised that those fake, plastic birkins are actually Jelly Kellys. Have heard too much about them but never decided to see what the look like. They're cute in a strange looking way, but... it just looks like try-hard and cheap birkin/kelly.
