PMS-ing real badly. Holiday mood came a tad too soon. I reckon this will be a very unproductive week. But there's tut presentation on wed and the killer tut on thurs and a 1000-word essay on fri. I am doomed. Really doomed. I don't feel like doing anything at all. Nothing appeals, not even stuff from my 'when i get bored' links folder, nothing on fb, food doesn't even look appetising although I made this super yummy potato bake with bacon and shrooms. I wasn't even happy eating it when I know I ought to be excited and gushing about my first attempt at this potato bake.
I just want to cuddle in bed and wake up many many hours later feeling refreshed and not the crap like now.
But this morning and afternoon was good, at school and at that cafe opposite broadway.

laughing gor love
10:44 PM

The movie is so goood because francis ng is in it and he is the best!! Aside from francis ng, but he's like 99% why the film is good, the plot was good. Much better than expected! I thought it would be a low budget telemovie thing and it was only about 90mins, so I didnt expect much at first. But since francis ng was in it, and i kinda liked EU, and its not everyday perth gets hk films like this, I thought I should watch it in the cinema. And omg i loved it! It was strange buying tickets though, cos saying 'I want 2 tickets for laughing gor' to an aussie sounds so ridiculous.
I really liked this scene. and I really dig francis ng's funny-hair gangster image in the show. His hair, though I suppose many would disagree, looks damn cool la! And omg I love love love love left handers using chopsticks please. and it was him who made me realise that it is so hot. it's like a fetish. OMG SO COOL!
I AM SUCH A FANGIRL.-----------
on another matter totally unrelated, srsly I think if you have the guts, just shoot me straight in the face. What's the point in using such a cowardly and immature way to try to get at me. And really, get the facts straight before anything.
but oh wells, it's all just white noise to me.

FOOD!!!
10:54 PM
10:54 PM
it's the time of the month again for weird and sudden and really really bad food cravings!!
i was and still am having a crazy craving for sticky date pudding!
and had a sudden urge to bake, so i made an apple cake just now and it was heaven. recipe from how to cook like your grandmother. it doesnt look awesome, but taste wins hands down. my last minute decision of buying that tub of slightly pricier vanilla ice cream from across the street was all worth it. definitely definitely more baking to come! i love the big oven.
now, i have craving for bacon wrapped strawberries!!!! yep, thats right, cooked strawberries and bacon! the weirdest combination ever, but i trust pete. i'm so gonna buy some strawberries, which are currently in season and smell amazing at all supermarkets, and get some bacon which i've also been craving for quite a longgg time. i just didnt know what i could do with bacon other than bacon and eggs for breakfast. but now, time for bacon discoveries! apparently bacon goes with cakes, apples, scones, cookies, ice cream and every single food imaginable basically.
omg sinful.

alone en la vida
2:17 PM

Living alone is actually rather enjoyable. Doing your own laundry, preparing your own food, living at your own pace. It's really wonderful to have your own little enclave which you can always retreat to without feeling obliged to come out and interact with the world. Solitude can be good. This thought suddenly struck me when i was keeping my laundry, just out of the blue. I think i'll miss my life here after i graduate.
I'm getting used to the wallet already. But the zip kinda scratches my fingers when i dig for coins.

i've got mail
12:56 AM
12:56 AM
Look what came in the mail!!!! This is sooooo sooooo soooo much love~
I can't bear to use this darling little pen though. If I put it in my wallet/bag it's sure gonna get scratched very badly. But to put it in my wallet/bag is the only way that i'll use it! There's more to this parcel too! I also got a wallet from dorothy perkins. Not exactly a 'me' wallet, I feel so mature using it, but i'll get used to it. Love it nonetheless!
And there's even marshmallows! Thankfully the people at the quarantine department didnt eat it up. I absolutely adore these marshmallows. They are so hard to find these days!I have a sister. And she is fantastic!!!! /heart
While on the way to collect the parcel, I had this spontaneous urge to catch a movie. Alone, like i always wanted to. I discovered this little cinema from my previous around-the-neighbourhood adventure and thought I would just pop by to check the timings. And it was just nice, 4pm on a rainy afternoon with no internet at home, what can be better than a sappy movie? So, I bought a ticket for My Sister's Keeper, one of the ultra rare novels I actually finished.
When I reached at 4, I realised I really got what I 'wished' for. I was the ONLY one watching it. I didn't actually wanted to watch a movie alone, alone, but it's ok, turned out quite a nice experience. I got the entire cinema, all the seats, 2 heaters and everything all for myself. How well spent is this 10 dollar ticket?! Though it was slightly creepy cos it's quite an old cinema, but i kinda liked it. It reminded me of Sinema, how it's like a not-for-profit cinema. And how we used to screen films even when the turnout is just one person. LOL. My Sister's Keeper was not bad, cried quite a bit even from the very start. It wasn't awesome, it's quite normal and without climax throughout although touching still. I'm amazed how she is so brave to shave her head and eyebrows just for this movie. Next movie to watch, Laughing gor! Sometime next week! I hope it's in cantonese.
Editing workshop and steamboat tmr!

stuff
5:26 PM
5:26 PM
because of the uber unfair 'collectivism' tutorial, i was awake till 4 am just to finish the readings for chinese media and society. i hate mao ze dong! why must he produce such a massive amount of propaganda and make us uni students suffer so many years later?!! but though i really really really hate doing the readings, the unit isn't that bad. at least it is interesting. communism and stuff.
had a camera workshop yesterday. quite awesome. we shot from a script and i directed. how nostalgic to shoot drama again. digital media last sem has been crap with us filming only newsy stuff. seems like i like drama more than docu. like a lot a lot more. but... i somehow ended up with the living memories project. and i hate Y for that. you screwed up my timetable and now you are behaving like a total ass. dont act as though you are doing me a favour by talking to me. srsly, i dont even give a shit talking to you. i really dont mind not having those superficial and meaningless 'chats' with you, really. you are not the world, bitch. why do i have to put up with some crap or another every sem?!!
and that housemate is annoying the hell outta us. older, really doesnt equate to being wiser. why do we always meet such people?! i want to scream into her face!! srsly, she shld just live in a rubbish dump. it'll be cleaner there. i pray the milk she spilled all over the kitchen, the ceiling, the chair and table, the curtain and MY BENTO BAG won't stink. i dont get it how anyone can ever tolerate such mess and have absolutely no concept of cleaniness. her friends' mess from the party is still all over. she doesnt wash or tidy up anything at all. i'm really appalled.
ARGHHH talking abt those two morons is spoiling my mood.

happy national day!
9:15 PM
9:15 PM
This weekend has been so much fun. At first, it started as a way to escape from the housemate's party which i will never want to be part of or even witness. I was supposed to hang out at april's place and study for the ANTH2219 quiz together on friday but ended up as a 3 night sleep over. We baked and made so much dessert we all ended up so sick just from the sight of it. But our agar agar, pandan custard agar agar, banana muffins, chocolate muffins and cornflake treats turned out awesome. But the burburchacha was really a sham. Now we've more or less confirmed what we are selling during spring feast. All that's left is our hot desserts. Maybe green bean soup or sweet potato. Anyways, we stayed up the entire night last night and went for mcdonalds breakfast at 5am. Hotcakes and hashbrown are the best ever. And then we finally slept at 6.30am. Slacked the whole day, studied a bit, FB-ed a bit. Since today is national day, I wanted to be patriotic and go to the NDP celebration at makan makan. But in the end, we had singaporean food at bamboo instead. Still good nonetheless.
Still have to study for the quiz tmr but little miss sunshine is on tv. WHY!
