Hi there folks. My new ambition is to be rich enough to buy a studio appartment in the world square building. And to pick my nose with confidence inside an internet cafe.
I'm seeing Walk the Line tonight. My biological father and I had dinner and then he gave me money for a ticket to the movies but he couldn't come because he's got to go to Margaret's daughter's engagement party. ¶ 18:29 0 Comments

Hi haven't blogged in a while. Gee what has happened since I decided to switch to Commerce?
I decided to drop the I.D. course all together and man it felt good. Last Monday I applied via email for a casual job at Freedom furniture. On Tuesday they rang for an interview, Wednesday had the interview where they asked tricky questions, Thursday I got the job. Those tricky questions about team work and stuff really put me on the spot. I also had to do a role play pretending I was approaching a customer. Clever me thought to tell the customer about a special deal we were having and that earnt me bonus points with the interviewers, I could see them nodding. Anyway I also watched lots of DVDs with Pamela and the girls downstairs. I also visited Mum and started reading the Power of One and one some occasions decided to clean my room but never did. On Saturday I stayed over at Yassy's and on Sunday I had lunch with Rose and Co. in Chinatown then saw a movie from South Africa called Tsotsi.
I'm sure other stuff happened but I can't remember what so that's it for now!
Very excited about my decision. Louis Vuitton also has a graduate program, maybe I could work for them! ¶ 11:12 0 Comments

Announcement:
I'm applying for Master of Commerce to begin next semester.
No more maths:
I just dropped it!!
AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The "MCom" goes for a year and a half, and pretty much guarantees me a job/career at the end of it. I can't work part-time at Coles for four whole years just to be left jobless at the end of it.
Eternally yours,

So it's three o'clock in the afternoon. There's a knock on the door as I carve the flesh out of two halves of an eggplant.
It's Ian, the Trinidadian from downstairs.
-I've got two tickets to the Stones, do you want to come?
So I think to myself, 'the Stones? Who? Oh.
-The Rolling Stones? Um, well...
-They're VIP tickets.
-When?
-Today.
- VIP? Ahhh, why not!
So at five we set off with hopes of meeting or brushing shoulders with someone famous. We had to figure out where to pick up the tickets then none of the ushers knew where to send us. We were told to go to Level 0 West. At Level 0 West, we were told we couldn't go in, because that was backstage. Then he got verification, and let us in! So off we went exchanging big secret smiles wondering if it would be just like in the movies. Well, we never saw the band but we were allowed into this room that had some serious, hard-core catering. All the beer and wine you could poke a stick at and gourmet food like yabbies, balmain bugs, kangaroo, and this spectacular banana pudding with gourmet chocolates on plate next to them. So that was our big VIP experience. As for our seats, we were six rows from the front and next to the catwalk. As for the music, I sat down during most of it because it did not interest me. As for how he got the tickets, Mick Jagger hangs out in Trinidad alot and became friends with Ian's sister. So Ian's sister emailed Mick Jagger and Mick Jagger told his PA to arrange the tickets for Ian. Wow man. Six degrees of seperation. The guy next to us in the audience told us how he got his tickets: his boss's brother's wife is Mick Jagger's daughter! If only I had had VIP tickets for Michael Jackson or Robbie Williams. NOW that would have been something to scream about. ¶ 14:20 0 Comments

Ngo hai hongsang: I am a student
Ng goi ang hong hai bin dou? Excuse me, where is the bank?
Zek hang dai yao go lou hao zhun yao ang hong heng ngo zhou bin: Go straight ahead, turn right at the first intersection and the bank is on your left.
They are also holding mandarin lessons on Thursdays. Unfortunately I have something on but I might ditch that and go to the Mandarin lesson. Cool! Free classes! Can maintain my level of fluency! Cantonese is pretty fun, I not at much of a disadvantage being a non-native speaker of Mandarin.
I swear the more you want to stop eating food, the more you eat. My problem is, I eat to fill in time, for something to do. Or drink coffee. Oh well. ¶ 20:09 0 Comments

My week in review.
Um let's try to remember. I worked a bit, went to a how to host a murder downstairs at my neighbours' place, went to the DesginEx exhibition at Darling Harbour which was kind of boring because it had no exciting things to look at ( I went with a girl from uni) and on Saturday I worked and got told off by people behind and in front of the counter. Who knew there were actually that many rude people in the world who think that it's their god-given right to treat checkout operators like shit? I hate this job already. Then I came home and slept then went and hung out at Karina's where we watched a Robbie Williams concert on DVD. He took a girl from the audience and got with her! Then on Sunday I woke up twenty minutes before I had to clock on at work and miraculously made it with five minutes to spare. Then i drove straight to Norma and David's where they were having a BBQ for Andrew who is back from London for a short stay. And that was my week. Hmm what else happened. oh i complained about one of my workshop teachers who I think must be retarded in the manners department, just rude, treated us like children, so i sent an email to the coordinator of the course along the lines of "I don't pay thousands of dollars in HECS fees to be confronted by such rudeness..." I had PMS. Oh I had a maths test on Thursday. I studied alot for it and I think I only lost one mark or so. Last week I also half-studied for the calculus test we had today. i didn't study for it at all last night. I was in Newtown having a beer with Rose. But I think i got 6 or 7 out of ten for it which is a pass. I didn't stress over it because these class tests are only worth one or two percent of the total mark (the exam's worth 70%!). So all i have to do is pass the exam. Which means getting a new tutor!! ¶ 11:16 0 Comments

So, let me go through my week bit by bit. Man, my shortterm memory is retarded but I'll do my best.
I did four shifts last week. This week i will get paid for these plus my two training shifts that I did the week before but did not get paid for. And the money, at last, came rolling in.
This week I'm also working four shifts and had the option of doing more.
On Thursday in tech drawing we were given a massive model-making assignment. We have to use foam core ($12/sheet) to recreate an iron or a lamp or a guitar or some object. That's gonna be fucking annoying to make. On Friday we were given another huge assignment. First we have to do a drawing in the same style as a Piranese etching, based around an original Piranese etching, on A1 size tracing paper. So where the hell do you get A1 tracing paper from, I hear you ask. Then we have to photocopy the whole thing onto A1 normal paper, then mount it to a piece of A1 stiff cardboard. Jesus Christ.
On Thursday night I went to a tango class in Hyde Park with my maths tutor. He said he sometimes had to sit and watch because he didn't have a partner so I invited myself along. He's a bit dorky, and doing a PhD in astrophysics. I hope that because he's male and I'm female, he doesn't think I'm interested in him. You know how some guys think that people of the opposite sex have to be more than friends. Tango is really fun, I got into it a bit and want to go again although before I had a chance to tell work I was unavailable on Thursdays, i got rostered on. But next time.
On Friday let's see what I did OH not much I think I made green curry and went to bed. On Saturday I worked and then hung out at Ella's. She is moving out on her own for the first time ever and I think i will get her a cookbook (vego of course) as a housewarming present.
Then last night I went to a CineSoc (film society) pre-production meeting for a shortfilm they're doing. I have joined the "DVD team" which means I'll be helping to make 'the making of' video. The chick who seems to be running it seems like a glory-hog and I probably won't get much say in how it's done or get a chance to hold the camera much (flashback to Holly in the young achievers business thing in year 11... night mare on elm street) but I'll try to be involved anyway so that I get my foot in the door for next time.
Oh my the way, India is out of the question, you need a bank balance of $10 000 to apply for every six months that you go on exchange. Fuck that! China it is. ¶ 11:54 0 Comments
