Stir Fried Thoughts

[random stuff happened lately... and random thoughts floating... will throw it all out and sleep on them... hui hui]

Friday. As I was stepping off the bus as usual, the bus driver purposefully accidentally pressed the wrong button and sandwiched me between one of the bus doors and the boarding rail. I think he was supposed to close the back door, but pressed the wrong button. The first time I have ever been shut between a door on public transport. Funny... and humiliating.

Been reading a book, Levin's God, mainly about a singer's life- sex, drugs and alcohol. However, there's a deeper layer to the story- including the issue of death and the handling of it; passion, desire, motivation, self-awareness, conformity... many different foods for thought. What interested me the most is the way Levin (the main character) grows, which alongside touches on issues of life and death, God and his existence, purpose, and expression. A rather slow moving book with amazing narration at points, and includes the most extremist events such as wrist slashing in search of meaning, sex with transsexuals, drug and alcohol intake like food and water respectively.

Recently been loving alone time, but still wished for company... this contradiction is driving me insane. It's funny- days when I plan to meet up with people, I wished I was at home alone; days when I am home alone, I wished someone was there. Might be because my brother's been going out a lot on weekdays, and I'm always by myself during those 5 days, so loneliness hits me mercilessly when the weekend comes (which is supposed to be more exciting, not lonely!). After the usual training on Saturday, it feels like I have seen enough. Sounds unhealthy. Sigh.

John-Hoon. Korean actor who can sing, but not nicely. He doesn't sing with enough passion, he doesn't make lyrics come to life, he doesn't voice the words like he means it. Can't complain at all about his appearance, but his average (or maybe below average) singing marks his definitive downfall. His appearance in Princess Hours as Yul is simply too gorgeous to ignore though... what can I say... staring at his MTV clip and ignoring much of the singing could be the best way to go?

Grandma's second knee operation went smoothly, and Mummy should be back in September as planned. Grandma might be coming back too! Mega excited! Aunt from Hong Kong called tonight as well- feels great to keep in touch with family. I couldn't work up the courage to ask her about traveling to Japan with me though... not yet anyway. Will try next time she rings, just hope that I'm home to answer! Miss my mummy.

Holiday Goals

[mehehe... not passed out this time! totally sober... =P... ehhee... that was experience u must have b4 u die =P.... teehee, hui]

The list in one of my previous posts stated the goals I had for my holidays, and since now my holidays are coming to an end, I thought I should maybe summarize just how much I have achieved and the amount totally ignored:

1 Get drunk at least once a week / party as often as possible
2 Get a job to save up for awesome holiday plans at the end of the year/ hopefully work at a clinic
3 Learn Korean
4 Loose weight and drop to a size 8
5 Watch infinite movies, series, youtube posts
6 Try out a new type of dance or simply join another group for the holidays
7 Friends + catch up + fun!
8 Play piano again
9 Shop and shop and shop and shop and shop and... etc.
10 Reply letters delayed since long ago

1- Got drunk nearly once every week maybe except one, but I partied as often as possible!
2- Definitely got an awesome job and saved up, but the whole clinic scenario is off the planet.
3- Only had time to look up the alphabet! It's all so hard and confusing!
4- This is probably the most unrealistic goal. I did try out ways to loose weight, but have since given up because I have accepted my slow metabolism. I sigh at you, metabolism.
5- Only watched 2 movies, but did and is still watching series, and definitely watched YunHo on youtube!
6- This was disastrous! Quite upset and disappointed. No time now...
7- Happy times! So glad to have caught up with so many people, even though I did not have the opportunity to meet up with as many people as I would have liked to due to my full time position.
8- I cry at this.
9- I was a very good girl, until recently I bought a cap from ebay, but I did not spend much at all!
10- This goal was achieved quite quickly, which I am proud of. I don't think I would have time till the next holidays to write anymore letters though.

Counting halves and wholes, I did not even achieve half of my goals. I guess it is because of the full time job I had, but my excuse is really quite poor. It was because I had to sleep. Yes, sleep. Another thing about me that I have to sigh at- the fact that I can't function without beauty sleep.

I managed to do other things not listed in my goals though- I went to karaoke, the Country Week dance off for 2007, Hillary's Boat Harbor for the first time and discovered another perfect pitch friend (aka JOEL!!!). Music came back into my life in the holidays, which was at its lowest low during my study break, exams and even university as a whole. It saddens me. However, hopefully through my brother, I can meet the teacher that I need to start teaching me er hu. I shall pick up piano again when the time comes (when the lent scores are returned! Quite annoying.), and hopefully this new exotic instrument can brighten my darker days!

What a long post, but it is all worth it because I doubt I can post much when uni re-opens! I have to sigh at this too, and I don't really like sighing.

Wonders of Alcohol

[mahaha... last nite was aweeesoommeee... except the yacking part... that was horrible... but i felt so good afta... ehehe... =P .. newayz... lets have a recap? hui]

So the party started around 8.30pm, and thanks to my wonderful Belle, I went to the wrong house at first, but soon found my way to the right house. Le Graceful Host Louisa, had a really nice mansion by the river side, and the little gathering warm atmosphere was absolutely awesome. This did not last very long, as we started playing cards and downing shots like water... everything started to blend and blur.

Before getting totally smacked out by alcohol, I did manage to catch up with Belle and have decent conversations with Amen, Wan Tat and Jesse (token white boy at the party, who I must admit, is quite cute with nice teeth). By the time Du, Ken and Reen arrived, I had already downed 2 shots and 1 yaga in about 30 minutes, so I couldn't really talk to them properly. Tried to make Reen dance, but she was totally sober and refused. Good move. Met another new friend, Sophia, who has an awesome accent and who was if not basically as drunk as me, even more drunk. I remember seeing her totally passed out on the ground, but before then, we had a nice time dancing and fooling around. Good times.

More yagas, vodka and orange juice and Smirnoff vodka cruisers came along within the hour, and my face changed from its usual red to white. I wonder if it was because there was an overdose and my body was getting used to the alcohol. Must admit I'm quite cadbury, so it did not take long at all before I felt so tired and weak, that I nearly passed out as well. Somehow I managed to stay awake, but all I heard was noise, and only remember whatever I saw when I opened my eyes for brief moments with the most massive amounts of effort.

Finally, my system could not accommodate the intrusive liquid any longer, so I threw up all over Louisa's toilet. It was gross and brown, and I remember that I kept on asking Du why my vomit was brown. Fun times. I tried to clean it up, but was simply too uncoordinated and tired to do so. I am so sorry Louisa!!! Hope the cleaning up was not too bad. I feel quite guilty. Anyway, after that event, I was soon escorted home by my awesome friends who looked after me so well.

Time, words, actions, feelings all seem so meaningless when one's drunk. Is this why people enjoy being drunk? To forget about everything and talk about everything and nothing? Basically that was how I felt, this new "sensation"... rather interesting.

Don't think I would ever want to be so drunk that I throw up again, maybe just to the high stage so that I can dance without fear, talk without thinking and have a good night's sleep afterwards. The only good thing that came from this was probably that I managed such a good night's sleep that it was unbelievable.

New job!

[bwahaha... the feeling of holidays = awesome = OMG = muaHAhahah... yesh... love it! hui hui]

After 2 weeks of unsuccessful job hunting, I finally found a job at Propelarts! Shall be working full time for the next 3 weeks, i.e. till uni re-opens again. The job is so exciting and fun that it does not even feel like a job! I shall try to keep the job, maybe work once a week when uni re-starts, as I'm simply too deeply in love with it that I can't bear to quit it! Working here is working with my passion (dance), so I really don't want to loose this connection. The people who I work with are absolutely gorgeous as well, which totally adds icing on the cake!

Propelarts is an organization that aims to propel youth arts in WA. They provide information, support, resources and basically everything else that assists young people in starting youth arts projects- this includes all facets of "art", such as dance, media, theatre, fine arts etc. Their website is http://www.propelarts.org.au/ and they have myspace! Check it out, it's seriously awesome.

Other than working, I have not have much time to do other things (other than watching TV). My plan of getting drunk at least once a week is running smoothly, but my plan to learn Korean is going down the drain at this rate. Not good.

Anyway, just totally excited about this new job! Was trying to come up with a title for my job with my manager Lena (one awesome chick) and we came up with:

1 Receptionist/administrator/office girl
2 PA to the GM (Personal Assistant to the General Manager)
3 Slash officer (derived from ... / ... / ... in 1)

So... which one do you like?

Hui Hui ^^b
