its like we dont give a dang.

drifting...

where are we going?

drifting_
definition 29 of dictionary.com "to deviate or vary from a set course or adjustment"
web defintion "a i m l e s s wandering from place to place"

definitely do NOT want to be drifting...

lol



metro_
employing more trying-really-hard-to-pretend-to-be-happy staff to smile and open the train doors for us isn't going to make the trains run on time
*sigh*

i just figured that it takes a total one hour and a half to get to uni Y_Y

prediction

i seriously think i have mania.
its extreme highs then extreme lows.

but the frequency of the switch prolly means i dont ..and its more than likely
a sugar/overload msg high.

lewll...


on the side_

i am tossing between choosing whether i like uni hard but intersting
or slack and boring.

i dunnos.. if its just the grades only.. i guess the latter
but if its like learning and knowledge and not letting my HECS go to waste..
it would have to be the prior.

what an interesting dilemma.

but probably more interesting for the readers.
is that i'll prolly have to go dress shopping

sigh. i sense disaster. and extreme awkwardness/humiliation

wheee open day

two things...

1. i got freebies from volunteering. (as you can see from crappy mobile phone camera)

. 1 bag thingy
. 1 melb uni jacket. quite nice
. 1 thin melb uni jumper (which is kinda ugly)
. 1 melb uni warm HOODIE! ..kk. that one cost me $2.50. but so worth it =P
1. canvas bookshop bag
. two ponchos
. bag of lollies

felt so uni melb branded walking out of that place..

but yer. in general uni is cutting costs...they gave out NO PENS! =P
only saw psychology have brain stress toys.. >.>



but...

2. i made a terrible mistake of volunteering and not putting up my hand to work that day..
could have been making $40+ per hour!! ZOMG Y_Y

next year next year ^_^

so we finally watched it



hehee.. did the korean distract you? it did, didn't it =P
lol. i hope it doesn't say anything rude lalala....


so FIFTEEN of us headed down to good ol' pinewood to catch it.
lol i seriously thought every has watched it already.. but i guess not ^^
but yer.. big turn out from us.. for a little theater =P

very well put together piece. I could see why some pplz would like to watch it again.
the only thing i was dissatisfied with was the ending. it was a little too abrupt for me.
felt almost a lil tini bit cheated. well that's too strong a word.
more like "aww" serious? "aww"
lol..

only coz prior to that ending there was a lot building up to it. and i thought it would
be natural for a director to tie in a few bits here and there of how they got to a certain place.

but nope. Just jumped straight to the situation. which i guess is another reason why
people would want to re-watch. or are left with filling in what could have happened in their
own heads.


on the theme of movies_

ARE YOU GUYS EXCITED!!

NEW NARINA MOVIE .. wooot

^-^


The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader


but if you guys have read the book.. only lucy and the edmund go back into narnia.. coz if the time difference, the older siblings would be too old to return..
but in the movie, it appears all four are back in the story.

interesting.. wonder how that plays out...

C.S. Lewis.. you are still one of the best writers in my books.
i mean for a kid that doesn't read.. and i still don't read. I was convinced from lion witch and the wardrobe. that I had to read the rest of the seven books. and i was in primary school..
^-^
don't think i've ever read anything fiction since then lol!
(besides the hobbit)


i do hope they make the rest of the series.. although it will be extremely costly and they might make no profit

what has come out (of the new releases anyway)
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the WardrobeThe Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
the lion witch and the wardrobe
prince Caspian

and The Silver Chair which is set to hit screens potentially 2011 if someone picks up the project. woot ^^


on another note_

this looks rather interestingly animated

i should be studying for drugs disease pharmacology

but it was either that.. or research into the batman 3 set to come out june 20, 2012 for my radio segment which i'm set to talk about later today..


sadly yet sorta predictably researching superhero films won ><"

firstly let me confirm
1) I AM NOT A DC FAN
2) HENCE IM NOT A BATMAN FAN

but i won't discriminate and shall cover it in the talks heehehe..

whiz summary_

1) batman 3, directed by christopher nolan (same guy as batman begins, dark night)
potential that Joseph Gordon- Levitt to cast as the RiddlerJoseph Gordon-Levitt -The Riddler

if you don't know who he is, i first came by him in 3rd rock from the sun.. hilarious!!! comedy series.. but he is more so know for the lead in 500 Days of Summer and Tommy in the latest crazy movie INCEPTION dun dun DUN!!
rumor-alert-riddler-confirmed-for-batman-3
but yer.. is it just me? or does another else things he looks like a mini heath ledger??

2) interesting fact_ tim burton started the batman movies in 1989

3) superman is being rebooted.. !! 2011/2?? maybe i forgot

4) Spideman rebooted for 2012.. new cast

5) XMEN: FIRST CLASS!! is to be out 2012 as well..
*fingers crossed Byran Singer comes back to direct*

6) 2011/2012 look our for massive superhero line up!!


For those who are unaware

Marvel !!
- Wolverine!
- Captain America
- Thor Thor
- The Avengers (i really hope this movie pulls through) if ya unaware the averages = LOTS OF SUPERHEROS in one movie =P
- Spiderman
- Iron man 3
- deadpool (rumors are still there)

)Deadpool


potentially_
-Ant Man i've heard.. hmm.. really?? that would be interesting
- Nick Fury! what a name.
- SilverSurfer.. (again =/ )


Silver Surfer

DC movies (whom im not a fan)

- Batman (guy with no powers really! i don't count throwing gadgets a power or gliding.. i mean if he needs wonderwoman to carry him in flight in justice league that's just ..ugh.. not my story)

- Superman (just not me)

- Green Lantern (just because he has as fancy ring =P )




and for maybe.. maaayyybee .. the way futre

the flash (2013)




conclusion: SUPERHERO FILMS LOOK LIKE THEY WILL NEVER DIE








"with great power comes great responsibility" - spiderman



Stan Lee you ARE a LEGEND

CALL FOR ENTRIES: GILGAmesh connections FABLE COMPETITION III

Gilgamesh Connections is holding its third and final literary competition of fables.

Entries can be sent in now until 5pm Friday 10 October. The fable must be in English, previously unpublished and must not exceed 500 words.

First, second and third prizes all $500!

For further details, terms and entry forms contact: harriet@gilgameshconnections.net


present(in)tense at george paton gallery

Kotoe Ishii (2008 Next Wave Festival artist, Next Wave Time Lapse artist) features in this group exhibition by four Melbourne-based Japanese women.

PRESENT(IN)TENSE is an exhibition using various mediums (i.e. texts, drawing, sound, video and/or three-dimensional materials), and is based on ideas about ‘transnational self’. All four exhibiting artists came to Australia from Japan as adults. After almost a decade away from Japan, they found themselves in a state where they could not clearly define their societies. They sometimes feel that they share a certain cultural background, but at the same time their national and cultural identification are often drifting away from each other. This complex nature of (un)shared senses of we-ness and them-ness drove them to form this exhibition in collaboration.

PRESENT(IN)TENSE explores how these four women figure out their identity in ‘present tense’.

Featuring Kotoe Ishii, Mayuko Itoh, Mutzumi Nozaki and Makiko Yamamoto.

11-21 August 2010
Opening Wednesday 11 August, 6-8pm

George Paton Gallery
Second Floor, Union House
University of Melbourne

Mrs Noodle

lol i was just for a split second in the mood to write a food review article about our dine at Mrs Noodle @ Kingsway..

then.. i changed my mind

so instead a summary_

1. it's where the old AnAn was

2. Yizhou doesn't work there
(lol that was the conversation for a while of why victor and sam stopped coming to AnAn ...coz Yizhou worked there and also how "The food went down since Yizhou left" - Daniel .. hahhaa.. )


3. don't order the fried noodles. OILY VERY OILY!! "shiny" - as described by Jeewee

4. the hand made noodles in the soup are quite yummy. chewy though

5. It's more squashy seating wise than AnAn layout for some reason

6. Staff are friendly =] !! Seemed genuine enough

7. I would go again (although it is average) =P
