Zebra Crossing
If you don't know why my blog title is as it is, then... ... ... too bad for you!!! Today, once again and always, I shall be crapping on about crap. This, as you can see, is as easy as 1, 2 and 3:
1. Don't think about what you're writing. If you're this fanatical planner of a person, and you even plan which part of the lolly you're gonna lick first, forget about reading my blog, just go away. You don't belong here, trust me.
2. Let your fingers do the talking and type whatever springs up, a random thought, like: Why do mousepads always have four corners? See? So easy, even I can do it. (Which isn't much)
3. Don't think world issues and global warming and Al Qaeda, think: At the beginning of the world, did goldfish drink orange juice in order to get as orangey as they are? Think smell. I mean, small. Microscopic, bacteria, amoeba, atom small. (I don't know what YOUR perception of small is though. For all I know you might think small = Bermuda Triangle. Ok, that was just random.
Toooday, I woke up too early. Shucks. Well, I won't do this for tomorrow. I hope. Ate a croissant which shed its fur all around me. I hope they grow into croissant trees or something. Now THAT'd make the news. And its getting BBBBBBbbbrrrrrrrrrr... here. The highest temperature today was 21? I dunno, but I think I'll need to turn on the heater in the bathroom if this keeps up. I should stop wasting the steam on my bathroom mirror and start playing Tic Tac Toe with myself. What a novel idea!
Exams are coming... *makes ominous noise* Ok, they're not much of exams but still, the WORD is still used.
Oh yeah, newsflash: The park has teeny weeny insects in the summer which jump up on you when you walk in the grass and suck your blood so your skin gets itchy and tiny pin-pricks of blood appear on your skin like microscopic tattoos. Gross out. I am never gonna look at a KFC Twister with the same eyes ever again. (Well, not that the Twister did anything, except, well, LOOK like a Twister)
The Oompa Loompas have invaded my pencil box and stolen my ruler. Can you believe it? I feel so honoured. Well, how much can a ruler be here anyway? $2,000? Naw, I bet it's $200,000. In rupees, of course (just WHAT were you thinking?)(You silly naive little cow)
I've forgotten about that Coca Cola store comment. Now I don't know why its so significant, something to do with the song "Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin", but I can't put my finger on it... damn.
By the way, my new equation of the day: Home Sweet Home = Under my blanket.
Uhhh... errrmmmm... ehhhh... lemme see...
MOO.
P.S. I can't believe I came up with such a profound, deep word, instead of the commonly-used The End.
P.P.S. Does 7-11 make sandwiches fresh every day? Cuz I bought one today, exactly on its expiry date. Hmm... yet another unsolved mystery for CSI: Melbourne.
I'MCRAZY!

Lagoon Engine Ersatz!!!
Yay!!! I can't believe Yukiru Sugisaki came out with another brilliant manga, yay!!! Gotta have it, arrggghhhh... If not for the fact that each manga here costs >$10... Bought a HTML/CSS guide at Dymock's yesterday, hope it'll help me to understand how to make a skin, though I don't think I'll have time, seeing as I'm already so harried over my Media Communications assignment, bleah. Maybe in the two-week holiday, BUT... That's when I'm going to teach myself how to draw dragons!!!
Time is MORE than money can buy, man.
Then I still want to go down Bridge Road to look at all the factory outlets. Oh, and I wanna find a Borders/Dymock/Angus & Robertson in Melbourne somewhere, then in the morning before lessons start can go muck around Melbourne Central. Gotta get myself a proper wallet. Storing cash in a card-holder just doesn't work.
Oh SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT.
I TOTALLY FORGOT about that mime exam!!! OMG. *panic mode*
Just packed up my room and hungup my Inuyasha and Spiral posters. Aaahhh, Eyes looks so good in that picture, but I really should have brought more posters and keychains and soft toys and stuff. Oh well. Totally forgot to bring my Matantei Loki Ragnarok series, and my Hayley Westenra Pure CD, so sad...*sob*
Suddenly have a bad feeling about tmr's drama lesson...exam...bwah.
And I'm giving someone a birthday present approximately one week after her birthday has passed. How horrible can I get? I never forget to get MYSELF presents. Hmm. Wonder why.
Trinity Blood sounds nice. Anyone read/watch that???
I'm more of a right-brain person, so pardon my disorganisation. (Is that a word???) Sometimes I just read my blogged stuff and see so many random points I go: Where did
that come from?
Hope my fish aren't dead. And since its the weekends, THAT person can't bother me. Yet. Monday's coming. Bummer. Oh, and I just read in the paper that there would probably be no more bananas selling in Austrailia due to a Hurricane Larry? This suxor. GIVE ME BACK MY BANANAS LARRY!!! (Or is it Harry?!) And the pears are gone too... Luckily I still have my Cadbury muesli bars.
O_O

Animasia
Hey, any Melbourne people out there looking for a good Anime shop? Trinity College students especially? There's one right down from KFC on Grattan Street. Yep, just doing a bit of advertising. Don't have M.A.G.E. here anymore, just Newtype USA, which is... $25. Yeah.
The English Chuangyi stuff they sell here is like $12.95. So hmm.
Get out of my hair
You get me so worked up
Stop trying to fit in
Stop trying
Just stop
It doesn't work, ok?
You may never read this
But if you do
And you know who you are
Don't talk to me
Don't bug me
I don't want to know you
Cuz you're so like me
So much so
I HATE IT
Go get a life
Don't use me as an excuse
You make me flinch
Get out of my hair
Aaaahhhh...I feel much better after that tirade. I believe I'll be able to sleep soundly tonight. G'nite all!!!
I'MCRAZY!

Pig In The Big City
The title explains why I don't feel like blogging today...too lazy...
*_*
Threw Economics away for Psychology. New goal this year: Combined Degree Arts/Law. If I can't get in, then it's still Arts/Commerce for me. Third choice would just be Arts (Media & Communications) single degree.
Ack. Got to change my timetable again. Won't see my friends in my old M&C tutorial anymore... T_T At least I've still got all my anime songs with me, haha.
It's gonna get real hot on Sunday, 36 degrees. I'm so excited... -_- I thought summer's supposed to be over...? Oh well. Better go do work now, History of Ideas got lots to read. Still gotta type in my HOI notes.
Had my first taste of peanut butter and jam today. Not bad, but the crumpets tasted weird... Garlic pasta doesn't seem to taste so bad when you're ravenous. And I am sick of Aussie Zinger Burgers. They're not even HOT, just peppery...
Just how big is a grain of rice? I swear that piece of bone is still hindering my foot. Ow.
There's no Spongebob here, but Futurama is cool. At least no more lame Kids' Central dramas. And there are like only six local TV channels. Pay TV doesn't even have National Geographic!!! *breaks down and drools* I miss Nat Geo...
Not that I had TV back home, haha! :)

Oscar La Vista Baby!
Hmmm...one of the lamest titles I'll ever come up with. Just spent like 3 hours trying to sort out Accounting. Argh, it's hard. My aunt deosn't find it hard because she's a triple-science whiz. Well, at least I get free tuition. I was thinking of trading Psychology with Accounting, but realised it was stupid, even though Psych is F-U-N. I'd have to do Accounting first year anyway, if I go into Commerce. Why do I have such boring introductory paragraphs...
Did anyone watch the Oscars yesterday? Me did. Or at least part of it. The opening was quite cool and all, and there were pretty funny presenters. But what was up with Jennifer Aniston's drab costume? And Ziyi Zhang's blinding number? (Maybe I'm just biased because she doesn't wanna be called Zhang Ziyi anymore...that wannabe) Didn't really care about the rest, just felt miffed that Wallace and Gromit snatched the Oscar from Howl's Moving Castle. That was a sad, sad day...
All that fuss about THE OSCARS, and guess what? It's all over in a day. Figures. Good things don't last. hAven't blogged in a few days but then again, there was nothing to miss out on. Had to walk all the way from Evan Burge to Lincoln Square Nth. again. How irritating. Blame it on the huge campus.
Had my first decent lunch at the Union House today, this huge gigantic bowl of Fishball Quay Teow Soup, for $6.50. Yeah, BIG hole in my pocket. The only thing I enjoyed about it was the veggies, and the sprouts and maybe the noodles...
I miss my takoyaki... *grumbles* Wow Tako from Plaza Sing... T.T
First tutorials are fun. The main thing we do is play lame games like Human Bingo and Blow Wind Blow, haha. So mindlessly fun. We studied the issue of Charles and Diana today, the royal couple. Paparazzi, I conclude, are a unique bunch of inhumane individuals solely concerned for personal gain, so much so that they suffer from variable stages of dementia which drives them to mindlessly stalk and kill their victims, in the end selling the murder to newspapers for bundles of banana notes, all the while plotting endless schemes in their tiny minuscule cages they call brains.
In other words they're called the cream of the rat race.
I have my own security blanket now. From SIA. My aunt whisked it away from the airline a few years back. I'm gonna cuddle it until it has my smell. Then I'll name it Spiffy.
Going for my red bean soup now...
I'MCRAZY!

Ice Cream Kachang
Ack. Wait. Is it kacang, or kachang? I think kacang is the malay version... -_-;; Oh nevermind. Forgot to blog yesterday, but no big deal. Didn't go to Fair Dinkum, so I'm not sure what I missed out (it's a CCA fair sorta thing), but then again, like I care... I have exactly four episodes of Witch Hunter Robin left to watch. What can I say? *heaves a sigh of relief* Finally an anime that doesn't have a pink-haired cutesy female in it. You can actually observe Robin's character development as she flowers into a more independent and stronger individual. I can actually feel her inner turmoil about her true identity, and what it means to be someone who deserves to live. There is this tangible comparison between witch and human, and the inevitable question that arouses every single time: Do all witches deserve to be annihilated, just for being who they are? And the even bigger question which is still being debated today: What does it mean to be human?
Somehow, you can't seem to get all these impacting vibes from, say, Inuyasha, or DNAngel. Okay, maybe DNAngel DOES touch on the flip sides of the human mind, disguise and illusion and all that Twelfth Night stuff I can't seem to get out of my head. Maybe a better example would be Love Hina, or Magic Knight Rayearth. Not that I have ever felt inclined to watch the likes of Love Hina. Eeeuuurrgghhh...
In Robin, I see an outstanding character, someone who doesn't speak much, but thinks volumes. Then I begin that inexorable process of comparing her with other female leads of other anime. The only one I can think of now who is on approximately the same level as she, would be Rosette from Chrno Crusade. Most other anime have happy endings... Like Pretear, for instance. Good is undermined by Evil, Good strikes back and defeats Evil, and in the end, Good gets the girl/guy. Few anime delve deeper into what "Good" and "Evil" embody. Like what CR says in her blog, Snow White is Good because she's pretty, and kind, and...??? The Queen is Evil because she's ugly, selfish, deceitful, and...??? What a pretty picture. Nobody's perfect, you know. Snow White and her Stepmother are actually representative of ONE SINGLE human being. Everyone has the good, the bad and the ugly... There're just no exceptions...
Hmmm...why am I crabbing about all this? Dunno. It just hit me and I had to write it down. Blah. Back to my life. So, after about 3 episodes of W.H.R., I dragged myself out of the room to prepare for lectures. Went for Economics first. Ok, the teacher's boring, but he's really nice, once he's not teaching. Actually, all the teachers here are really nice. *bliss* The only bone I have to pick with them is: Why are lectures on powerpoint slides??? This means the notes I print out would have to be in powerpoint slides. Argh. I have a NEW subject I take, called compilation-of-notes-into-Word-after-every-lecture. WHY IS THE SKY BLUE???
M&C wasn't too bad either, haha. Didn't know The Sun had a page 3 dedicated to topless girls. So THIS is freedom of speech??? Constitutional laws be damned, what about the CHILDREN??? Gross. The next time I hear Rupert Murdoch... *shakes head* His name makes me think of weird stuff... Like "Rupert" sounds very much like "Rue, Pervert" and "Murdoch"? He murdered his doctor??? Sounds very evil to me... haha. Hmm. I'm crapping off again in another direction. And the Nipplegate incident? New fact: Janet Jackson was Googled more times than the Iraq war. Media and Communications is so cool! *bounces around*
Oh, by the way. If you're curious about the blog title, that's what I ate for dessert yesterday. Home-made ice kachang with vanilla ice-cream. Haha, then I "ruined" it by mixing it all up together, like what I do with KFC potato whips. That's the REAL way to eat, yum! Slept at 1am yesterday, adjusting my new timetable. The one they provided was lousy, so I remade mine. So proud of it now!!!
Before I go, just a note to self: I think I'm a genius. Yeah!!!
I think.
P.S. I can walk without crutches now, whee!
P.P.S. My room is a mess.
I'MCRAZY!

My Finger Did It
It wasn't me. Certainly wasn't me.
Honest. My finger started it. Yep. The index finger on my right hand
guided the mouse over to Blogger's link. I seriously did
not intend to blog until I read Hy's crazy crappy entry. Then it dawned on me that, however hard I've tried, I've never been able to blog a single crappy entry, whereas Hy finds it a perfectly effortless task to blog even small funny details. I can never get into details. When I notice something special, by the time I start blogging, it would have flew right off the top of my head. Oh yes, for my "I'm the King of the Castle" buddies, an interesting point to note is that there's a street in Melbourne city called Drummonds Street. I am
NOT kidding. It's where most of my hostel buddies live on, Albert House. I freaked out when I glimpsed that street sign, but it turned out, that street wasn't too bad. It was just like any other street.
To Hy: you should consider migrating to Melbourne. I haven't seen a single crow here ever since I arrived. I've only seen gazillions of pigeons, weird black-and-white birds,
yellow ones, small wee
cute little not-sparrows etc. Oh yes, and hawks, once in a while. Seagulls too. I think all the competition was too much for the crows. They migrated to Singapore instead, haha!
Since I'm here, might as well elaborate on
Life With a Stubborn Sprained Foot. Every morning I get up, get into those rolly chairs you find in offices, drag myself over the damn carpeted flooring into the bathroom (where, fortunately, it's covered with tiles). Then, after I make my
slow, excruciating way to the kitchen, I have to hop with one crutch to grab the milk carton from inside the fridge, hobble to the cereal boxes to get
Fruit Loops, then hobble back. Upon completion of the solemn ceremony of adding milk to the loopies, I hobble out to the living area again, barely managing to carry my precious bowl of cereal with me.
Argh. This is all
trash. All I want to do now, really, is dig into another episode of Witch Hunter Robin. Unfortunately, the walls have, not only ears, but hearing aids, so with my cousin doing research in the next room, I don't even dare turn the volume on. Heck, I can even hear her typing through my
CLOSED door. Judging from the hollow sound it makes though, the door really isn't much. The boredom is driving me crazy. This is my second day off because of my
retarded left foot, and I'm missing out on the Accounting lecture. Waaahhhh. I really like the lecturer. She's Greek and she's hilarious. She should become a Literature teacher instead. Oh, just a random thought...
I AM NOT MEAN, Hy!!! STOP WHINING!!! *
Ahem* I am being starved to death here right now. Can't seem to find any
manga shops here in Austrailia. Sure, I managed to find some anime, such as Sakura Wars, but they're all the way in Springvale, with Chinese subtitles. Don't Austrailians like Animanga too? I won't believe there aren't any Aussie fans of Japanimanga out there, but are there enough in Melbourne to warrant the setting up of at least one, single, measly manga store? I am missing out on my MAR and my Vampire Knight, and my TOKKO (maybe), and my Wild Adapter, and my... ... ... I can't type chinese. Sigh. I hope M.A.G.E. starts an overseas subscription thing, but I think that'll only happen in 2010. I think.
You know the philosophical saying, "I THINK, therefore I AM."? Well, for me, I guess its "I
DOUBT, therefore I
THINK I am."
I'b goig to R.I.P. here to blow by dose. There's so buch dust here, I hate having to blow by dose every single day. The worst thing is that there's so buch to blow. In case you're wondering, I'b holdig by breath as I write this to bake it soud bore realistic. So if you're sittig there ad wodering what exactly I'b trying to say, try piching your dose and readig this paragraph. It's siple really. This is pribe evidence to show that I'b bored out of by wits.
I miss my
fish. You can have the
beef.

Digging My Own Grave
Why is my blog title this, you wonder? Well, think. I have a blog. I HAVEN'T UPDATED MY BLOG IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS!!! How am I supposed to condense the last few weeks into ONE SINGLE MEASLY blog entry? I blame my habit of procrastination. Okay, well, here goes. Don't expect me to do any highlighting of words in different colours this time, I have much too much to try and remember... Am feeling slightly woozy with the realisation that I have to type an essay... albeit an unimportant, rubbishy one but then again... Ooooh. The keyboard on my new lappie sure is nice to tap on. Now I don't have to keep poking Cher's lappie for fun anymore. Oh man, miss my CG so much, damn... LOVE YOU ALL, PEEPS!!!
Okay, back to the basics. WTH. That crucial morning where it all began...
Eh. Was trying to download as much info as possible onto my thumby, but then again, it only had about 256MB of storage. What can you do with 256MB of storage??? Especially if you're tranfserring, or at least TRYING to transfer, about 400MB worth of piccies and 700MB worth of MP3s... Okay, you get my point, I won't bore you. So I slept at 3am and woke up an hour later to find that the dvd I'd burned had major errors and my dad was yelling at me because the damn flight was at 7am. Great. If you didn't get my drift, this was NOT a good start for an all-important day. Worse, my stomach felt crabby. Ok, so we all (family) squished into the car and drove at high speed (dad was mad) (hey, it rhymes) to Changi. Somehow, Changi always reminds me of Old Chang Ki, haha, so then I thought about the banana fritters and spring roll I was going to miss. Which then brought me to the Balestier Hokkien Mee that I'd miss. Which then brought me to the Crystal Jade Pei Dan Chok I was going to miss, and the Lorong Liew Lian Wan Tan Mee, and the Sum Lou Hor Fun... ... ... I AM NOT A GLUTTON KAE!!! This is just what happens when you're brought up in S'pore, the sunny island, set in the sea, sunny island, food for you and me...
I am becoming so lame. This is bad.
I arrived at my aunt's about a week before orientation started, so they brought Dad and me to all sorts of funny places. Well, not much of fun there though, had to do all the logistic stuff, the black-and-white stuff like opening bank accounts, settling bills and living arrangements. So now I'm living with my third aunt, which is sort of fun. Tracy, my cousin, is fun and loves Famous Amos cookies too, whee!!! Didn't get my laptop configurated until the second week, geez...
Made a few tentative friends while lining up during orientation (I keep having to fix my typos, ARGH!!! My typing has degenerated), but nothing much else. Almost everyone lives at the hostels. Guess what? There are no EZ-Link cards here. They're still at the insert-your-ticket-and-wait-for-it-to-come-out stage. Oh well. Nothing much here. Then we went to look at vineyards, where we stole grapes unnoticed. (wadayano, it was instigated by my second aunt).
*Yawn* Ok ok, fast-forward to the camp, I can't believe I'm getting bored reading my own entries!!??!!?? Rawson camp, as they say, was the most boring of all the other camps. Haha, what a surprise. The flying fox there was so low. It is worse than the Viking ride at Escape, and this is not an understatement. The games we played were fun though, like drama games, and celebrity heads, and tug-of war (minus the mud). Can you believe it? We slept in bunk beds with extra bedsheets in cabin rooms!!! Sigh... but I much prefer the sleeping bag kinda camp. Where's the adventure?
Hehe, for those who went for NYJC Orientation for first three months, their disco night was almost the same, except that the music was country music and we danced folk-dances. At least we really got to dance with lots of people (all the dances needed girl/boy partners, haha) and I had a super great time. The food wasn't bad, no packed lunches and all. There was a cafeteria even. So after a wonderful time at camp, had to ruin it all by...
...spraining my foot while jumping on the trampoline. Hey, it wasn't my fault!!! ... ... ... Okay, maybe it was, since the sign DID say no jumping with shoes on... But I insist, it isn't my fault!!! And for those who have never sprained stuff before, IT HURTS LIKE HELL. Just so you know. Do you know what's worse than crutching around in the uni campus? Its the fact that wherever I go, I get busloads of sympathetic glances. Now I understand how invalids feel when you pity them. I am so NEVER going to pity another invalid again!!!
...Ok, that just sounds wrong.
So here I am, in the middle of my second week of orientation, in my room, with a left foot that has somehow fallen asleep, attempting to blog down my life again. Whew. Do you know why crutches seem more fun then they are? Ask your armpits if you ever crutch in the long term. They are definitely not going to be happy. Is it possible to sprain your armpits???
I wonder if my fish are dead yet, or if my brother's just feeding them orange juice or something. Yuck. Oh, one more thing: Started with the Witch Hunter Robin series, because of my left foot (i swear, it snores!!!). Not bad, like her hairstyle, haha. Now all I need is episode 11 on Bittorrent. Sigh.
I'm sure I've missed out some other important stuff, but I can't seem to think right now... Tag me if you wanna know more about my new life. All I want now is a Famous Amos Chocolate Chip cookie. Which is all the way back in the living room. Shucks. Amazingly enough, scolding my left foot several times doesn't seem to help... ... ... hmmm, I shall go ponder about another one of these mysteries of the universe...
TTFN, ta ta for now! (That's just what Tigger always says, haha)
I'MCRAZY!
