thursday, august 29th, 2002 **jay z + memphis bleak - 'hey papi' nelly rmx** my phone bill arrived today. two words, one face: urk. shit. X_o;;;! wednesday, august 28th, 2002 **wyclef jean + claudette - two wrongs** ^__________^ hullo. i'm not limping anymore today... but poor ellie is sick with cold, phooey... Waited at flinders for 20min today (worked out that estimated coffee expenditure = $21/week), as Jermo and I seem to be taking it in turns to be late =D heh. Later I found that the guy who had also been standing there since before I showed up was Karan. haha, that was quite amusing, mutually waiting with slight irritation for the other to show up when we were both there :p. monday, august 26th, 2002 **JAY - train** got hit by car on way to school, so came home instead. here i am. but fine, mostly, can't stop shaking. biggest casualty is probably dilini's cat's eye, which bore the brunt of the exploding juice, and now stinks like milk, as does most of my books. may have to buy a new calculator, but md is damn tough. the fact that i don't seem to care right now is slightly unsettling. i expect i will later, in the lonelier hours of the morning. but for now. i think i'm happy to be still breathing on my own. 分からなって。。。迷子・捨て子らしくこれから一人きりで歩いている。 head has stopped bleeding and everywhere is sore, but shite, my ass hurts. of all the places to get hit, she had to hit my ass. in any case, the road is interestingly coloured, as i have chanced to discover, it sparkles in the morning sun. no... I don't think I'm very sane right now. I actually managed to make it to one class today: where ms f yelled at me soon as i walked in. are there any teachers at all in school who don't want an appointment for parent-teacher night??? and here i was merrily taking notes in class, thinking i was on the right track toward Media Comm. rude awakening. oww... butt hurts. might save the crying and philosophising to my private diary, i don't think anyone wants to hear about my blue ass and subsequent views on divergent realities in detail. sunday, august 25th, 2002 **Jinusean - Hip Hop Soldier** Badly out of humour. My hair is turning pink. Ms L is quite determined, it would appear, to discuss both my attendence and my progress, or lack thereof, in graphics at parent teacher night. As much as it would amuse me, I don't think my mum would go... four weeks until the end of term, i will attempt to be in class more, but on the folio front, i've just about given up. ironically, laminex and linotech won't stop sending me broshures. things are really starting to Loom and Bode now. wednesday, august 21st, 2002 **BOA - Destiny** Things I learnt in today's English Language class: Mild mannered man, homeowner, 40, recently relocated to Bristow. Seeking attractive, adventurous female, non smoker. Preferably open to various sexualities. Genuine calls only. Call after 9pm, if a man answers, hang up immediately. You'd want to have a go at all the games we play, and you don't know half the guys we lay. but you could, so call now. BIG math SAC tomorrow. still too high to study XD monday, august 19th, 2002 **dragon ash - grateful days** Ouchies... but not as upset as I thought I would be. Just tired now. And more sane, relatively. :) It's a beautiful day outside, and despite all that shite I said last night, I've realised that it is enough for me that he knows. I'm not sorry (phone bill aside :p for which i will kick myself repeatedly later), and he shouldn't be either (phone bill aside). Smile and go back to being the way you always were. 再见.^^. friday, august 16th, 2002 **yoko kanno - butterfly** wai~ can't get over that song XD (makes me go all h...) perhaps it is the sleep deprivation, but today media communication could almost be seen over the horizon. I'm not being ridiculous and wishing that all my subjects were like English (^yay^ English ^yay^ ^yay^ ^yay^), but if I try a little harder, and the exams (esp the graphics one, dammit) were a little easier... I truly believe that I can propel myself with some precision to land on that big ENTER =98.0 bullseye. わくわく！ Dr P says my face will swell up to twice its size for three weeks after they pull my teeth out. well. hm. That's always a nice thought to welcome the weekend with. thursday, august 15th, 2002 **yoko kanno - butterfly** not much to say. The girl drooling over Flo's JAY poster just wanted to share this song with the world. it's so SEXY! XD but not as much as the one before it >:]... Not sharing that one wif you, sorry. to kean, if you read this, though mostly likely not. no, i dont' sleep at 7pm. even if i did, This is WAR dammit, sleep is only a minor inconvenience. BRING IT ON, lanki boi, i can take u down any day MUAHAHAHA! saturday, august 10th, 2002 **JAY - the Last Battle** Managed to finish my folio at 2:15am Thursday night. I would have finished earlier, but I managed to superglue my scissors together :p, and I couldn't very well chew through the foam, so I had to perform delicate surgery (for nearly an hour)to it before I could continue. Six weeks until the next folio is due. I will manage my time better this time around. no, REALLY! On the up side, I have my "Jay 8D" now. Lots more hip hop: i hop and hop and dance and drool. wednesday, august 7th, 2002 **nathalie wise - nokosareta umi** what i said about turning up to school everyday... i lied. >=] tuesday, august 6th, 2002 **love psychedelico - i mean love me** Freaking out quietly, resolutely upgrading my relative level of incompetence from 'below average' to 'Die! You Have No Reason To Live Anymore'. For my own amusement... please fill in the blank from the choices below, there won't be prizes. "the eggplant really, really, really needs/wants..." a) more pillows b) to finish its friggin folio c) to kick fruitcake and blame all problems on hem d) 君の愛 ... or e) a sharp blow to the head, and broshures on 'staying real' commentary for this activity is on 020805.wps. Please call 944....., and leave ur answer (supported by reasons!) with ur name, number and a brief description of what ur wearing. sunday, august 4th, 2002 **tashannie - can't take it no more** Monash University Open Day. went to caulfied with Maggie. it's a beautiful campus, and i would dearly love to get into a design course, sniffing cobic markers all day, but alas, it will not be. the acceptance rate is about 3% (15-20 people/ course/ year)... all is bleak. desolate, i will try still continue to struggle until the end of my folio, and then... i don't know. i may cry, i will dream, and i'll end up doodling on my notebooks while i rot, for the next four years, in a linguistics lecture hall. so be it then, i will sniff cobics in my own time. all the best to Maggie. saturday, august 3rd, 2002 **yoko kanno - atomic bird** ate three advocardos. i feel sick folio status: not too good. page 22 has a big patch of advocado stain on it. friday, august 2nd, 2002 **Ashanti ft N. Big - Unfoolish (Foolish RMX) ** nonono ellie-chan, we don't, ahem, "love the library more than [you]", just that it's arrggh... nnggg... ok, we had no excuse :P The weather is unseasonably warm, the scent of spring is already assaulting my senses. Resolved to find Farewell Waltz after school, but no one seems to stock the damn book. so wasted some money on clip on headphones (the kind that ^Jay^ has on his first album), the cord is too long...but ahh, Jay... ahhhh..... ^___________^!! The UMAT people (about 9/10 people :p) are going on about frogs. suny said that he wants to be a VET (!)...umm, I'm going to refrain from saying something here. like >_> ke for instance. monday, july 29th, 2002 **ref below** Old songs i'm rediscovering and currently freaking me out: sakamoto maaya - vector boa + jasmine rogers - duvet ruby lin - yudie hayashibara megumi - kimi sae ireba seatbelts + yoko kanno - words that we couldn't say seatbelts + yoko kanno - call me call me pm dawn - perfect for you elva siu - hong qiang wei ... the list goes on. these are the ones that have made me cry in the last couple of weeks. i'm getting overly sensitive lately, i listen to these stupid songs and where i would have danced around the lounge, now i hide behind the couch and keep pressing the repeat button. it's very sad really, considering there's about three months until my exams, and surely i would have Better Things To Do than this! >:[ sunday, july 28th, 2002 **nokko - crazy clouds** banned from stinking phone again. i really need to stop making life so increasingly difficult for myself. nothing is happening on the 特別研究(Detailed Study) front. i'm feeling very angry and insignificant now that 'H' has changed into the manga stream. X_x Last year she went in before me for Chinese oral, and I'm still blaming my failures on her to this day. くだバッチまえヒラリ~! It's no secret that we've never gotten along. No five minutes of a Jap class will pass without her opening her mouth, and my subsequent wanting of throwing her out the window. I'm sitting next to Lynne now, so it is almost certain that I'm not going to learn anything new for the remainder of the Jap classes this year. We cringe when Hiliary speaks, then pass the remaining time cackling evilly from the back corner, writing tragic love letters wherein 'Ken' commits suicide since his darling left him for 'Akira'. No laughing matter, but we do anyway. thursday, july 25th, 2002 **dj hasebe ft mos def - bounce** Shinwa Anime Club debuted on Tuesday lunchtime with minimal fuss. I had been under the impression that I was to be properly Involved, in some way... but it would seem that I am being weasled out little by little. My mascots did not make their way over to the yr 10s. Whatever. Ok, so I'm leaving this skool in 11 weeks (yes~!), but still... :P mmmmmmmm Jay's *^drool^* so hot, even his innards are kewl~! I'm starting my Christmas wishlist five months early ^^: Milan Kundera's Farewell Waltz, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, Life is Elsewhere; a great ENTER and hence a fairly respectable uni course offer :); David Crystals' Encyclopedia of English Language; foldable streetstyle earphones; spice rack; the very rare Yoshimoto Banana's Kitchen (Jap-Eng Bilingual Version). Ai... will this book fetish ever recede to a reasonable, budgetable level? probably end up buying those Kunderas before Christmas, I'm not a very patient person. sunday, july 21st, 2002 **SES - Lovin' You Muse remix** pooped. Daimaru closed down at 3pm today. >.< i shouldn't have, as i barely have time to sleep anymore, but I took all of Rumi's classes today, 9am ~ 3pm. Her, being (still!) in Shanghai rendevousing with her unbelievably hot boyfriend. ahh for love =**) She gets all the lovin' and I get ... $75 and a headache ... who has the better deal? xp eh heh heh, go and ask Tommy to tell you his pissed chicken/pooped duck story. very very very funny stuff XDDDD!... also, side note: if i'm ever on the phone with you and I start laughing hysterically, please remind me to breathe. It's usually because mummy is making funny faces at me (yeh, she does that a lot), and it's often distracting to the point that I forget to inhale. She swears she's not intentionally trying to asphyxilate me... but i suspect otherwise. friday, july 19th, 2002 **Ali feat. Murphy Lee - Boughetto** Managed to scrap a few more formal photos off various people. Nothing else is new. I'm trying very hard to attempt all of my homework, that doesn't leave much time to cause any sort of mischief. I will die alone under this arrogant, blue sky, pathetic, shrivelled, and smelling like a math book. The MacRob anime club starts on tuesday with Ah! Megami-sama. monday, july 15th, 2002 **student in library noises** the start of a whole new term: time to set higher academic standards for myself. I will turn up to school every day. ke. I will do my homework *cough*. I will hand in my outstanding work *cough*. I will work on my folio every night *cough cough* and hand it in on time *cough cough cough*. I should probably stop before I choke on my lies. friday, july 12th, 2002 **susan tedeschi - it hurt so bad** had a whole list of things i was meant to accompish today (bank, return books, get state lib membership, donate blood etc), and set my alarm for 7:30am. But i fell asleep again. the only thing I've managed to do so far (10:20pm) is accidentally taking zu's call and swearing profusely in fright before hanging up. Twelve calls so far tonight. Damn, what a devoted boyfriend this guy would make haha, I feel tempted to... 心里酸酸的感觉...为什么? aww, dammit XP. I'm prepared to start taking bets on how many more times he will call. incidentally, this saga is probably the most interesting occurrence this holidays.<> monday, july 8th, 2002 **kangta - right here waiting** Nothing's happening. Discovering unchartered territories in the land of Boredom. Last week of holz... nothing has been achived so far. Concrete is still not in and the house keeps shaking everytime i move. >.<;; the boy keeps calling, but it's not the one i want :p 给我打电话啊, 白痴! Had a singing fest with Ronny and his half drunk friends over the phone. i'm assuming i won the female division. Even if it's only by default. bleh, please soemthing happen now~, so i can make this happy XD face. I really want to make XD face, but i can't unless something happens. humour me, someone out there. thursday, july 4rd, 2002 **silence** The poor old Zu boy is still calling. Also borrowing his friends numbers to call as well, just to check whether it?fs just him that ?gBrittney?h is ignoring. When will he learn? Come to think of it, he is a lot sadder than I am. This fact makes me feel somewhat superior. Rhonda just cracked up when I called her in desperation a little while before. No help there. I was hoping that maybe I could sort out this mess, make it up to him, maybe have some stupid coffee and get it over with. A hysterically amused Jun Wei suggests that I date him between hahahas. >_> Sure. I can see how that would solve oh so many of my problems. Tomorrow, work will start on the foundation of the house. The first step towards our complete remodelling, and one step closer to putting in an ofuro with a garden view and a bookshelf. Yay! I shall spend the day hiding in the library pointedly ignoring anything that moves. 12:02am : Presently attempting to make Ben pay me AUS$40,000 to take the bummer Kean off his hands. Ben is a tough bargainor.?g...I?fm offering you the chance of a lifetime to own your own Kean.?h Gee, he makes it sound like he?fs doing me a favour. ~,~ If I had to take on a financial investment, I would like to spend it on something that actually does something. Something with buttons and goes vroom vroom would be cool, like a car ^o^, for instance. Sitting and smiling stupidly doesn?ft count as doing something, per se. I have pot plants that can do that, and look cooler doing it too. wednesday, july 3rd, 2002 **crystal kay - girls' night** Back from Jap Immersion Camp. It was boring and completely useless. The MacRob chicks moved into an empty cabin and pranked unsuspecting members of the male species. Yours truly has had the luck of picking up an arrogant dickhead who thinks that "Britney, first year multimedia design has seen him around campus and wants to have coffee". Um. Duh. Hhow can anyone be so gullible? It's Wednesday afternoon and he's still calling, I'm starting to feel slightly guilty... And then Rhonda stole my phone and typed a SMS out to Kean, in a very successful attempt in making Annie jump up the stairs, screaming, clutching at her hair which was threatening to fall off. After three hours of twitching in Ellie-chan's car, Annie finally sorted things out with Kean amidst an hour of embarrassed laughing on both sides. But presently, being fed, and therefore blindly optimistic, I say that _everything is more or less back to normal now_. Though I have no doubt that other people would have a lot to argue with that statement though. saturday, june 29th, 2002 **the high and mighty - bad baysitter** Ellie and Ramya will never get their long overdue bday prezzies becuase i seem to work up the motivation to venture out of the house. have obtained a gameboy charging thingey so MD is working again. ^yay^. mid year report yesterday was an interesting mixup. Mr Economo's prediction was that "Annie is a highly motivated and successful student", well on her way to a 50 in accounting. How nice. Unfortunately, I don't actually do accouting, so I had to give the report back. :( that would have been the best page in my whole report. everyone else basically wrote that i had to talk less and do more homework. ~_~ yep, sure... so far i have a grand total of One foto from the formal. ho hum. language camp is on monday. trite. must buy dictionary. tuesday, june 25th, 2002 **kare kano - candelght dance(very jazzy mmm)** So didn't feel up to facing english language. slept for most of the day, played with mobile and md when i wasn't zzzz. formal is over... nothing to stress about anymore. so bored. rest myself well before screaming my lungs out for COREA tonight at 9:30. ahh, what the heo, nothing else to do, i'll start screaming now. ^o^ GO KOREA~! KOREA~! KOREA~! KOREA~! ahh, that feels good. I wonder how i'm suppose to occupy myself when the soccer finishes this Sunday? .... ..... .... .. i foresee bleak and uneventful years ahead. sunday, june 23rd, 2002 **ken hirai - miracles** i just worke up and i have a lot to say. this will be a loooong entry. THE FORMAL WAS BRILLIANT~! Pre-formal preparation was very stressful. I had to keep drinking tea. Eight cups. My hair came out completely screwed and plastic. But at least everything was more or less done. All the girls looked beautiful ^o^. Dilini, Nidhi, Ellie, Ramya, Ami, and I met the four guys (Kean, Ben, Indika and Krishnen) at the EQ cafe. it was cold. I have to say Kean looked really yummy with his yellow tie. hehe. Our boat was fobby, it was about to fall apart. keke. I stole Kean's coat. The 'shed' looked great~! We ate and endured the overly romantic music. Not much talking went on. I stole most of Kean's food. maybe that's why he couldn't dance, weak from hunger and cold. :D haha. Ellie says Ben was too polite, but I couldn't see anyone being overly uncomfortable. "the Couple" were, surprisingly, less affectionate than usual. Despite all Nidhi's complaining, Krishnen was a darling, with some serious mmm hmms floating Nidhi's way ^o~. Ramya was so excited that she wanted to dance more than I did, which is a hard thing to do. I don't think Ami enjoyed herself as much as she could have. Especially after she accidentally saw the soccer scores on my mobile, that just ruined things. Taking the stupid official photos took nearly an hour. My camera lost it's batteries early on, so I shall have to scrounge fotoz off everyone at school. The most memorable part, for little sentimental Annie was the last dance. Even though Kean is very tall, and too lanky, he is surprisingly nice to hold... very warm. *reflect with stupid smile on face... mmmmmmm* I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as I did. The girls came home with me. So did Kean. And thanks to Ramya screaming out guess waht to the second car, half my street now knows that "Kean staying over at Annie's house". I thought mum would freak, but she was pretty kewl about it when i told her Saturday afternoon. All night, the seven of us talked non stop. And talked some more in the morning. And some more. Yap yap yap about nothing whats so ever. blah blah blah. (I'm a bit sick of writing this now. so this won't be as long as i anticipated.) Then we went to see Minority Report after 30hrs without sleep. It's not that great a movie. I came home and collapsed, missing the Korea game. but they won so MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!!!. GO KOREA~!!! so yeah... i go now. If anyone wants to read the full version of today's diary, the one that actually makes sense, click here. wednesday, june 19th, 2002 **ken hirai - Rakuen Birthday RMX** ohhhh. The Melb Grammar formal is on this Friday too. Ohh. oh. oh. ohhhhhhhhh. ok. Damn, i am so lost. Blame it on the soccer. S: you wanna see my formal ticket? A: ok (pause) it's, uh, very ugly. Who are you taking? S: No one *blush* A: you have three tickets. (bit of manage a trois action maybe?) S: I'm not going with anyone. it's my friend's. A: uh... huh. (suuuure, dude. right.)*pause* my ticket's prettier, want to see? (A runs away, not to return). But oh man, his hair looks good. ^^ heh heh. I'm gonna miss both the quarter finals on Friday night. Can anyone SMS the results to me, please? sunday, june 16th, 2002 **skoop on somebody - mood for love** Ok. Um. Four hours wandering the CT with the formal table members minus two. Complete disaster. The silence : inpenentrable. The only thing we have in common is food. And now that Nidhi has passed the ActII/Section 32 rule of no dirty jokes, even the food isn't quite as fun. I feel very sorry for the formal dates. In particular my own, who is now too scared to look me in the eye :D why? beats me. He gets along a lot better with Ellie, and I, with hers. Mayhap we should swap. It's only a matter of switching ties, after all. started practicing smiling... mayhap by friday it will feel natural, and it won't take quite so much effort to quash the pained grimace engraved on it now. If this is a preview of Friday... a big resounding KE! to all those pro-formal fans. My dress is "crap coloured", and doesn't fit properly. K is scared of me, so I'm not going to have a crutch to support me on my heels. S is no longer coming, so I'm not gonna have anyone to make faces at. The girls are coming over to my place, so I can't go to any afterparties. Once again, a big, resounding KE~! to you all. tuesday, june 11th, 2002 **music for relaxation - anonymous** The stars and sewing machine align to make my life hell. Wasted all yesterday making stupid formal dress. Gave up around 11 (not finished yet) to start on bag (not finished either), until nearly 2am. Think it might be time to ask mum for some help. 9_9 Haven't even started on cape yet. Waste of so much time, and I don't even want to go anymore. AND I missed three games of soccer~!! >:( Hope the exam people are doing good. sunday, june 9th, 2002 **ken hirai - rakuen (birthday remix)** China lost to Brazil. Which everyone knew would happen. I have nothing to do but mope around and watch the soccer. I need to get out of the house, but everyone has exams. *sigh* Well, good luck to all the exam people :) thursday, june 6th, 2002 **bonnie pink - just a girl** Working out seating for formal table. Apparently D expressed her sentiments against me sitting anywhere near the vicinity of Indika, the monkey. I regret that she does not trust the man that loves her. But moreover I'm deeply wounded that my own friends could doubt me in this way, not only her, but everyone else too. I may not have the highest of standards at times, but my morals are permanently in place. I would never touch another girl's man. Never. wedneday, june 5th, 2002 **PM Dawn - Perfect for you** sit here and waste time, because need break so bad. Tried to finish my folio with the TV on yesterday, thinking that the soccer would motivate me. Obviously a flawed tactic, since I'm still not done yet. The Korea - Poland game was a really good one. Skipped periods 1~4 to do viz.comm. Still not finished. rubbed my eyes until contact fell out of the left one. Ran around half blind, winking. Forgot to bring my discs home! So uploading mock ups and evaluation here, for download at school tomorrow (dig around, find it, and grade me :). I'm not making much sense? No sleep much last night. No eat today. Just frantically draw, draw, draw. Must persevere... only one more day in this semester left... tomorrow. And then I can sleep, sleep, sleep; eat, eat, eat; watch more soccer; cry over complete joke of a folio some. too tired to throw a tantrum. too full of ginseng to give up. time to get back to work. oh... perfect. out of ink. sunday, june 2nd, 2002 **shenmue - antiquity tree** HELLO~ WINTER~! ^O^ I'm not a soccer fan. But it is after all the world cup, and I have nothing to do. Gemany slaughtered Saudi 8-O last night. I felt like i was watching a preview of the Brazil v China game. Scary. Not giving up hope for china just yet though. |
