* back to lists *
so those of you who knew me in high school and throughout the most part of my undergrad would remember that i was really big into lists. i had lists for everything: pro-con lists. to do lists. travel lists. prayer lists. restaurant lists. study schedule lists. book lists. the list goes on. [haah].
now, with all my 'free'-not-occupied-by-study time, i'm now officially back to list making.
i'll share with you my optimistic agenda for the next four months:
(1) create an art piece for the wall(s) in my room.
(2) fix my laptop keyboard.
(3) take at least three road trips far out of sydney.
(4) play sport of some kind. preferably tennis. i could also settle for shooting hoops.
(5) write a song/finish my piano composition.
(6) read a bunch of new books. let's say, at least five.
(7) get back to the old me and spend more time in the kitchen.
(8) finish the sc2 campaign.
(9) look into buying a sewing machine so i can start sewing again.
(10) walk across the harbour bridge and anzac bridge.
(11) go to taronga zoo.
(12) do 20 new restaurants. first on the list, dim sum at iron chef in cabramatta.
(13) do summer school (sad face).
(14) start learning a language.
(15) read the NT from start to finish.
(16) make several trans-continental phone calls to a few special people.
(17) memorize psalm 119.
(18) fish. multiple times.
(19) learn how to use photoshop properly.
(20) jump on a plane and go someplace random. (note: syd-auckland is only $139!!)
that looks like a potentially fulfilling four months hey. =p
i'm excited.

*five random things that make me...*
(1) WONDER... 'really.....?' =.= coz that TOTALLY defeats the purpose of cleaning the screen in the first place!
(2) AMAZED... that people would still pay $5.99 for a pack of these when a DVD which stores like 40 times the amount of data is a quarter of the price. or less.
(3) SHAKE MY HEAD... and then laugh while saying, "don't be so cheap!! just go buy a laser printer already!".
(4) READ... and then read again coz i couldn't tell what it meant the first time.
(5) REMEMBER... that i'm living in sydney. and that I actually really like it here.

*sometimes it's funny when...*
a. the weeks go by really fast, yet there's still one thing which just sticks on your mind
b. you know you need something, but you're not sure what to do about it
c. your favorite pair of shoes are the ones that actually hurt
d. people think that you're one thing, but you can't help but feel like another
e. you think you're sure of something, but then uncertainty encapsulates everything else
f. you read the blog of a 30 yr old who still abbreviates/nickifies their partner's name
g. the one thing which seems to matter the most, just doesn't seem to matter at all
h. you know you're loved, but sometimes you've never felt more empty
i. the thought of ageing is more frightful than dying
j. you see something you want, but know you shouldn't, but you do anyway
k. you're misunderstood, and there's nothing you can do about it
l. you almost forget what letter comes after 'k'
m. everyone predicts your decision is bad, but you don't listen
n. you can feel what people think through the look in their eyes
o. the one person you want to talk to is the one person you can't
p. you overcome the awkwardness of a new friendship, and all of a sudden things are cherry
q. you have enough money that you don't know what to do with it
r. you just want someone to stop and listen, but no one seems up for the job
s. a book that's written for 5 year olds still makes you laugh
t. you see someone who you haven't seen for years, and they're still exactly the same
u. you procrastinate to the point that guilt sets in
v. you wait for 1.5 hours for a 30 minute class
w. waking up the next morning makes all the difference
x. you almost crash your car, and you don't mind
y. you realize just how lucky you are coz of what you have
z. it's 9 o'clock at night, and you're yawning
note: i actually posted this 2 years ago on the 4th of september 2008.
after reading it through again today, i'm actually amazed at how there's so much truth in some things, and then yet absolutely none in others.
i marvel at change.

* sister love *
rach came up with a pretty awesome technologically-savvy solution to our house: she's managed to hook up our tv and surround stereo to a dedicated laptop "server" which powers an external hard drive that stores all of our entertainment. and now, coz of the wireless network, we can now access the hard drive and all of its goodness from our laptops (even when we're upstairs in bed), through the laptop downstairs. wonder why i can't sleep early? ;)
as rach so rightly pointed out, this also means that now, when we want to play music, we can actually stream music that's on our own laptops and have it play through the central speakers/sub! ain't that so much better than listening to it through our crappy laptop speakers? technology i tell you!
when demonstrating, the first thing she did was ask me for my music requests. aww.
of all things, this was the first song that came to mind.
and you know what? it's kinda funny how true it is... =p

*rediscovery*
thanks to the facebook news feed, i have just rediscovered the hilarity that is wong fu productions.
more: the turn off and the allergy.
gold!
i first saw yellow fever back in 2006. at the time, i didn't realize that these guys did so much more! i suppose this serves as another example of how and why social media is going to take over the world. =p
did you know: wong fu also did David Choi's MV for 'That Girl'!
not bad for 3 college boys (a mechanical engineer, animator and economist) from UCSD.

i was walking down the street the other night and happened to notice this.
poor kid.
i had no idea that they'd actually fine you twice. on the same day.
that's just wrong.
