Jung Yunho, give me strength! ><"

A person can work their way through life with a qualification or two. But the one I chose will put me 3 years of stress, all nighters and maybe no Facebook.. or even blogging! [my last post was yonks ago!]. And unless I am able to accept that, I won’t make it through my course safely.

For a certain qualification I am listing as a backup plan, it only requires a few months training or so. After that I’ll be all set to work provided I’ve passed. And the job prospects seem much better than what one would find in the industrial design field.

Industrial design is a great course and I was enjoying it so far, until I realized… there’ll be at least two more years of this. The pain outweighs the pleasure factor. Two more years of 1.5 hours travelling back and forth, spending my day offs at uni, all-nighters, spending endless hours with toxic fumes, dust and sandpaper… when will I find the time to get my P’s? How long until I will be able to learn the difference between a career and a job? Product design doesn’t occur to me naturally so I doubt it’ll be my career… I guess?

I know everything has its string-attached hardships, but some go to an extent compared to others. I love it when I have fun learning something new. I know I love learning something out of a good laugh. I definitely know that guys are not worth crying over, but it’s completely ridiculous if it’s over a course that probably won’t be your career after you graduate.

I worked hard to get into this course, but now I’m working harder to stay in it. Not sure how long there is to go until I snap. Others can endure much longer, but me, I always thought that if I don’t enjoy it, that if it doesn’t come to me naturally after multiple tries, then it isn’t for me. A screw-up that will cost me my marks is bound to come my way, I know it…

I’m losing hope fast for myself. I wanted to see myself at the end of all this, finishing Honours and start working in a studio in Japan. Now, I think I was a bit more sane when I said I wanted to be a nun throughout primary school.

I’ve tried not to rant about this topic but I’ve just about had enough of it.

“Yeah I remember you, you let in a few goals last time.”
“Uh yeah sorry.”
“Don’t worry, you’re good for a girl.”

That conversation which I’ve transcribed above backfired as a [hopefully] unintended offensive statement rather than encouragement. Okay, so what if I’m a girl? (more…)

I'm assuming that you're assuming I can play the violin.

Well… I can make scratchy screechy noises that sound like nails on a blackboard to the tune of 1000 Words from FFX-2.

Following up from the previous blog entry, the ‘expiry date’ one.

My brother told me that he was planning to watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen with me instead of his girlfriend before I backed out. I bailed out because I assumed that despite being invited in the first place, I was gonna be third wheeling along. It turns out that she doesn’t like watching movies of that genre…

It was partially my fault. My bro didn’t tell me that I wasn’t intruding or anything when I backed out. I told him that I couldn’t be bothered rather than sulking and saying ‘*points to self* third wheeler, HELLO?’. Openly admitting that kinda hurts my pride, dunno why.

The moral of the story is… Just don’t assume… especially if it matters. AND IT FRIGGIN’ MATTERED!! My bro ended up watching it twice for the price of one, at IMAX! He stayed to watch all the credits and then by the end of it, people were walking in for the next session. So he decided to stay for another round. LUCKY……………..

Nothing is as it seems. But assuming can be comforting in some ways. Assumptions, to me, were temporary conclusions I relied on when I don’t know the real answer or reason. And sometimes I prefer my assumptions over the truth anyway. So yeah, WIN… maybe not.

Quoting my friend, “when you ASSUME, you make an ASS of U and ME”.

Encouragement from dearest Swordie ~

Yesterday was a very eventful day. We had a BBQ at Pipemakers which was quite awesome. The day can be summarised at best with 200 photos from me and another 200 more from the other girls’ cameras.

Today was an uneventful day. I was meant to go watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen with my brother and his girlfriend at IMAX. Apparently it was really good and I looked forward to it. But then I decided to bail out last minute. I didn’t want to be a third wheeler lawl =__=”…

I'm actually a Kashima Antlers fan. But oh well!

Puh. One more reason for me to go to Japan. Get the actual Kashima jersey.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOMMY <3

Cow farts are nothing compared to what I do to the ozone layer.

My younger-but-older sister owns me in blogpost counts.

Her blogs are much more entertaining than the grammatically-incorrect garbage I come up with. I’d share the link for it, but it’s set on private so there really is no point~ From reading her blog, I find it quite funny that younger kids can be so much more mature and deep than I am… or ever will be~

And… oh would you look at the time. IT’S… RANT TIME!

*JUST A NOTE* I’m not particularly pro at this kind of topic but I’ll learn as I go. Watch me grow~

In cases like these, I'm proud to be an otaku with issues.

I was reminded of how I stole two guys’ ‘hug virginity’ at one time. Now I have second thoughts about who I hug. Lawl.

I left my music playing in my room and went outside… and could hear it quite clearly. Now I wonder how loud and clear my voice was to my neighbours when they watered their gardens.

I’m scared that the seats in the Japan Supporters Area is gonna get sold out from now until tomorrow. I NEED MY BROTHER RIGHT HERE AND NOW TO GET THE TICKETS FOR ME! *panic*

And now for the rant. (more…)

Only art students can get away with calling THIS "art"...

Friday was terrible, as anticipated.

• Went to karaoke and I was the only one who could sing in Japanese, left half-way
• No Bubble Cup for me today, arrived at uni a little too late
• Was walking around the room on my knees and crushed my glasses. It’s still alive now after some bending and mending.
• My intelligence is going downhill due to unbelievably unintelligent conversations

Anyway here’s a dedication to a beloved one I’ve lost… and no it’s not meant to rhyme. (more…)

By Monash architecture students. It held my weight well ^__^

Crap, I keep forgetting to blog about the camps I attended. But oh well, the photos and videos I uploaded on Facebook should say enough…I guess.

This week has got to be the worse week so far in the year… which is a good thing. Crappy weeks will come only every five months for me.

As a result of this crappy week, I’ve been told quite a few times by a couple of people to keep an eye on my anger. It’s been a long time since I went on a rampage…

Here’s a summary of the week: (more…)

Bought 14 sketch books/pads in one day o___<

Warning: Currently feeling dead and may be more or less blunt while trying to prove a point.

Being a girl sucks. I mean it was the reason that got me kicked off the indoor soccer court a while ago [yes you jerks, I'm still not over it RARRR], but is not limited to just that. There’s also bitching moments resulting from PMS…etc. (more…)
