Time flies

I don't feel 17 yet.

Uncapped!

...aaaaanyway, yesterday was the Monash Uni (caulfield campus) Open Day, to which I went with Helen! I found it really helpful in solidifying some stuff I knew and also, learning about some new things. For example, I had no idea that the multimedia course was ENTER-based!:O No interview/folio-presentation required... Yay! ...The open day seemed to have adverse effects on Helen though. It seems that it confused her more instead... がんばってねちんいきち!しっかり! It'll all work out!

The faculties had set up displays showcasing student works and such. There was also a lot of candy up for grabs. What struck me most, however, was a display from the visual art faculty in which a box of lego was presented on a table, along with a sign which read, 'What does art mean to you in a few blocks?'

I made a smiley face! For me, Art would be... happiness (I think) because art makes me... happy!(duh.) Due to my poor colour selection, it turned out to look more like a frog... but sure, anything goes, I guess. ;)

Then, we went out for some lunch. Since the Korean restaurant was closed and Helen hadn't tried Thai before, we ended up at KFC and had dessert at the Gloria Jeans next door. Now, what I'm about may shock or surprise you but... Helen (yes, Helen Oh in yr12 at MWSC) treated me at Gloria Jeans! The tables were turned! Not only was I the one being treated, it was Helen doing the treating! (Helen = the person I treat the most + very economical) I'm still in shock... but thank you, Helen!♥♥♥ Being treated is fun... I should do it more often! (too bad it doesn't really work that way..)

Then, I had to go home to finish off viscom since the final of presentation 1 was due today!:( I'm thankful that I managed to finish with time for sleep (instead of pulling an allnighter, like with the last folio..) but I'm not entirely happy with it... so I'll probably refine it a bit more sometime later.:) Here's a little snippet from the full piece though;

The scales on the armour took a while... but I think it was worth the time/effort.:)

...........................................................................................................

Now to add onto my collection of 'shaped' food, (refer to the post I made on the 8th, July if you have no idea what I'm talking about) I present...

Fish heart! Eww... I mean, Heart-shaped fish?:S

Egg Smiley-face!:)

(Explanation for those who can't see it: The yolk is a huge nose, sort of clown-like. Then, the 3 splats of soy sauce are the eyes if you focus on the clearer splats.) ...and okay, fine! I guess it isn't that clear that it's a smiley-face... but I didn't intend it to be! It just turned out like that... so it's a pretty good smiley-face for a coincidental one!

Consumed at different times between the 8th July post and now... I think.

My questions?

It's peaceful. I sit and eat breakfast to the sounds of a well-played french accordion floating from the speakers to my ears. Just me; sitting, eating, listening. Enjoying the tranquility of an unemployed kitchen. It's so perfect... or is it? What if it isn't perfect? What if I'm not 'greedy' enough to seek out more? That's okay then, isn't it? As long as I'm happy. Or at least, as long as I think I'm happy. How would I know? Maybe the monks have a point... living a life without attachment...? Being brought up in a materialistic world, would I be able to ever feel what they feel? Oh well, too late. It's alright, I'm happy... I think. Well, I like it this way, that I'm sure of. Now... how long can it last? Will I be doing the same in 5 years? Even 10? Sitting, eating, listening... contemplating?

speaking of my future... what will it be like? Will I be successful? What is 'success'? I suppose, for me, happiness = success. Will I still think the same later on? How would my drawings look then? They change every year, they get better every year... can I keep improving like that? I hope so... but even if they do, where would I go with them? Will I ever give up drawing...? I can't imagine that at this point in my life... I've been drawing throughout my life... what is life like without drawing? Wait. Why do I draw? Is drawing my life...? Is it like breathing, for me? Do I need it?

Needs. I need so many things... but why? I have them... and I need them... am I addicted? If that's how it works... then I'm addicted to friendship, or at least, positive human interaction. I use that term because I'm not sure what 'friendship' really means. Dictionary.com didn't help much either...

_friend·ship

_n.

_{1. The quality or condition of being friends.}

_{2. A friendly relationship: formed many new friendships over the summer.}

_{3. Friendliness; good will: a policy of friendship toward other nations.}

3, would probably be the most helpful... for the other 2 you'd need to have interpreted a meaning to 'friend' for yourself, and me being the indecisive person I am, have not. Anyway, 3, 'good will'. So, a friend is a person you have 'good will' towards? Oh wait... it could also be a person who has 'good will' towards you... well, then 'friends' are people who wish each other well. It's easier if it's plural.

Could you answer any of my questions?

A Dazzling Day

Lalalalalalalalala~♪ I'm in a good mood! I had a wonderful day today! Mr.Young (my physics teacher) was away for the double so I had no classes after break! I played soccer with some guys and a few yr9s, where once again, I showed the silly prejudice yr9s that girls CAN play soccer; by continually tackling the ball from them... it's always rewarding to see their initial dumbfounded expressions.:) My left knee seems to have had to pay the price though, I blocked two mid-level switches using it and was later damaged by Terry monster-truck Chan whom I collided with in a tackle... damn, no wonder people never tackle Terry, Terry hurts! I got winded by his elbow in a separate tackle attempt... ah well, I wouldn't be playing soccer if I was afraid of getting hurt, right?;)

During lunch, I was informed of the restocked the Hot Chocolate powder in the kitchen!♥ While Helen, Jenny, Minki and Ivy prepared for their debate, I slowly contemplated crashing it... and ended up doing so.XD Thanks to Edwin, who told me what I needed to bring in and Darren(Ichwan) for lending me his copy of 'Maestro' I successfully snuck and blended in with the ESL students. Ahhhh~ it's good to be asian~ In return for the favour, I diligently took notes from the debate for Ichwan... and luckily so! The teachers went around checking everyone's notes later on! I was even praised by the unsuspecting teacher who checked my mainstream-english-standard notes! hurhurhurhur...

After the debate, we went to play soccer again! At first, I didn't manage to tackle the opposition, Simon and Paul are good at sheilding the ball... then my epic streak kicked in and I tackled Simon, dribbled, shielded from Mong and ran on to score my first goal!:D I couldn't have wished for a better first goal... it was so clear! It wasn't a rebound, I soloed and it's not like the goalie wasn't there either! It felt awesome, though I highly doubt I'll score another any time soon. No matter, I'm happy just tackling the opposition.♥

Also, whilst we walked home together; Helen, Narae and I made cute, japanese, 'guy' names for each other! Helen is ちんいきち(Chinikichi) because her Japanese/Chinese name is Chini, Narae's is なれたろう(Naretarou) and mine is みねまる(Minemaru) since Feng translated into japanese is 'mine'~ ahh~ Friendship is so beautiful~♥

I hope your day was as fantastic as mine!
