Stop oogling over each other.

daym: excessive canoodling really shits me. especially if you do it right in front of me. im not bitter, i'm disgusted.

That's what I wrote on twitter...and then I realised how much I want to rant about excessive public displays of affection. I'm alright with the normal cutesy stuff that couples....like the joking + laughing around and being silly idiots OR just being incredibly compatible with each other. BUT SHIT DOESN'T WORK WHEN THE COUPLES ARE ALL OVER EACH OTHER...IN FREAKING PUBLIC.

This occurs in tutoring. I sit behind this couple and they can't take they hands off each other. Every minute I look up, I see

1. The board

2. My teacher

3. THE CHICK LEANING ON HER BOYFRIEND AND HIM STROKING HER HAIR.

WTFFFFFFFFFF? I DID NOT PAY TO GO TUTORING TO WITNESS THIS SHIT.

Seriously, GET A FREAKING ROOM!!!!

I guess couples can do coupley-esque things, but far out, why do you have to do it all freaking lesson? It's discomforting and DISGUSTING for a person like me, who has no choice but watch SINCE I BLOODY SIT RIGHT BEHIND YOU TWO! O_O.

I'm not a cynic...I DON'T HATE COUPLES NOR AM I JEALOUS. I'm perfectly happy...but really, could you couples PLEASE STOP CANOODLING IN FRONT OF ME? JUST GET A ROOM/BED/OR TOILET.

'to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die'

Kevin Rudd

"I WAS elected by the people of this country to bring back a fair go for all Australians and I have given my absolute best to do that.

...I’m proud of the fact that we got rid of Workchoices and restored decency to the workplace.

...I’m really proud of the fact that we’ve reformed the health system; a National Health and Hospitals network. When we look back on this in a decade’s time, and the fact that we’ve made the Australian Government, for the first time in our history, the dominant funder of our nation’s public hospital system. This will be seen as a very, very deep reform.

...I’m proud of the fact that we kept Australia out of the global economic recession. I’m proud of the fact that had we not done so we would have had a half a million Australians out there out of work, because that’s what happened around the rest of the world.

....And having said all that folks, we’ve got to zip." - Kevin Rudd Full Speech Here.

So proud to be Australian. Rudd's speech was dignified, emotional and downright human.

Outlooks.

I don't know what kind of person I want to be. And I don't mean it in an introspective and depressing way. I've not lost my way..but perhaps I am in a conflict with my ideals. I'm struggling to recognise with what I truly want to identify with..what are the ideals in my life and how do I exactly want to present myself to the world? I don't know.

Sometimes, I want to be a happy go lucky person, living life full of energy and feeling euphoria and happiness every time.

Others, I'd much rather be introspective, well kept to myself and secretive.

I oscillate between these two frames of minds, its like I have a split personality..But no, I am no here to freak you out, I don't. I am so conscience with how I act and how I associate with others. I just struggle to choose which approach to adopt when dealing with certain situations. Sometimes, I may be so happy that you may possibly think I am insane whilst at others, I most certainly seem as if I don't want anything but a simple life by myself.

As I reread this, I can conclude that I must be slightly insane.

Lomography

Last year, I got a lomography action sampler camera for my birthday from my friend, Ingrid. After several unsuccessful encounters with it

i.e. my brother opening the canister accidentally....therefore, ruining the film...

I finally got around to developing my first batch of photos from the action sampler. I can say that I am quite happy with them...though I should always and I mean always take photos when there is ACTUALLY SUNLIGHT. It's a bad habit of mine to take photos when there is not enough light...I just love the bright lights too much

countdown unless you're juvenile, let's go!

Attributes which make a man...rather attractive

• the ability to cook: give me matt or callum any day and i'll surely be a happy girl. hello macarons everyday. Haha
• playing a musical instrument. i can't play anything so a boy who can play a great song on any musical instrument will be considered attractive.
• not excessively fashionable. you don't want them turning out like THIS. Not that they're fashionable...but who knows what they think like. they may think that looks nice...when it really doesn't. sorry korean fans.
• a man with manners....but not someone who's a prude. far out, it everyone is either rude or others, easily offended. uhhhhhhmmmmm 'lisztomania, think less but see it grow! like a riot like a riot oh! not easily offended, not hard to let it go, from a mess to the masses!'
• ...Um, I can't think of anymore

Clearly, I don't know.

Bromance #2

I'm the biggest fan of any sort of bromance.... :P

I still miss Matthew on Masterchef. *sigh*
But..Go Callum! :)

Endings

Another post.. Sorry.

I went tutoring today after the school titration competition in which St George didn't gain a place in. I also went today because I really didn't want to go to the session tomorrow where I would have to stay from 9am to 5pm. If I went tomorrow, I would not have a class in between 11am - 3pm. I guess you can see where I'm coming from.
Anyhow, they did the usual...hand out fees and holiday timetables. I excitedly opened the envelope to see if the timetable suited me or not and there, I found a letter addressed to year 12 students. The letter was surprisingly long and was different to all the other ones that we were given before, along with our fees etc. I found out that tutoring was going to officially end at the end of July...It's bizarre and a little shocking, to find out that this routine i.e. waking up every Sunday a.m. to head off to tutor will come to an end. I guess the end is inevitable, but I honestly never anticipated this would come so early. The time for when things end is typically December but this year, Christmas has come early in June and delivered to me some new endings.

I've been there for 3 years and I remembering despising it so much since they wrecked my tutor-free weekends. However, as time progressed, I made some new friends here and there and found the experience of getting to know others pleasant. In came along year 12 and I found my tutor to be eccentric yet so brilliant. It's odd saying this, but I will really miss this place. Here goes making the most of out the remaining days I have left.

The reality that high school is also coming to an end has not really registered in my brain yet. Though I do think that it will hit me hard once they start announcing farewell activities. I'm an incredibly sentimental person. I'm one who wishes that time could stop in those moments I found joy in. And as they always say...'All good things come to an end'...

over my head.

Over My Head (Cable Car) - The Fray from Wantless on Vimeo.

i love this song. though, it always reminds me of the 06 winter holidays.
i think i was happy. and maybe i miss that kind of happy.
i feel so flat now. i always feel like that don't i?
i miss everything. i miss things and people too much yet I know, it's not a wise thing to do.
life...so fantastical.
from euphoria to apathy.
what on earth did evolution doom us for?
its nice to be a human...with a brain. but we're capable of feeling so many emotions, it really screws everything up...
sometimes, i wish there was a rule book to guide us how to live life and make the most of it. yet, the only rule book we have is our heads. we can only learn from those mistakes we wish we never made and progress, losing something we valued so much along the way. why does it have to be like that?
im in over my head.

There is some weirdo who keeps commenting on my posts.
I click their blogger profile yet I have no idea who the hell they are.
So I've decided to moderate comments..only because I hate feeling I have people watching me. It's disgusting.

Anyway, I am so devastated that Matthew is out of the Masterchef competition. It's incredibly unfair...to lose just because he named dried apricot instead of apricot jam. Ugh, what's the difference? I'm sure there is...but Matthew named APRICOT in the first place. Hey! He didn't name freaking lemons?!?!
So...what's the point of watching now. There is no more bromance to accompany this show...and poor Callum..he must be so bored now that his best mate is out of the competition.
When did I ever become so involved with reality tv? I dunno.

Edit: Screw this shit, I am disabling comments.

it hurts to say, but i want you to stay

this is the song where my blog title is derived from.
'OH MY EX SAYS I'M LACKING IN DEPTH!'.

Death

Maybe I have a little too much time on my hands.

But upon reading the news regarding a plane crash, I googled all I could about the pilot who died. I found his facebook page and I could read his status updates. It's an eerie feeling, reading all the thoughts of a man who cannot ever think any more or type like he did on Sunday morning. It's haunting and immensely sad. The sheer thought of death probably never crossed his mind yet, at this point in time, he's been killed in such a tragic accident. I listened to the recordings that were available online and heard his calm and composed voice. The man was talking and now, a word is never ever coming back out again.

It's a scary thought. I can't really articulate exactly how I feel about this.

But it has certainly affected me in a way...

Australian Music: The Jezabels

The Jezabels are very close to being my favourite Australian band of the year.
I've not been so entranced with a particular band since last year, when I discovered the musical talent of Passion Pit.
I'm positive that this band will be going somewhere...it's only a matter of time when people start noticing their genius.
Edit: I hate all these Bloc Party disbanding rumours...it makes me so incredibly sad. Hope they don't disband...cause 3 Bloc Party albums and a handful of b-sides is NOT ENOUGH for a fan like me =\

Sydney

Below are two blurry night-time photos I took on Saturday when we ventured into the city for a dinner party. Sometimes, I feel as if we overlook the beauty around us. There's so much to admire.





* I decided to have comments back on again. Only because I removed all forms of contact...i.e. email and such.

for everything you thought you had has gone from worse to bad

My Kind of Scene by Powderfinger
Honestly speaking, although I am a Powderfinger fan, I am not a really big one. If they were not splitting up, I don't think I'd be seeing them at the Acer Arena later in the year. However, upon hearing that they are disbanding after this tour, I knew I had to go- regardless of the fact that I only know a bit of their music. I downloaded their latest offering, 'Golden Rule' and it came with a live album, containing some of their greatest hits. I stumbled upon the song, 'My Kind of Scene' through shuffle...and this song is truly one of their greatest songs...In my opinion, it stands up there with My Happiness and These Days. Here, listen:

I'm incredibly excited to see them in concert now.

Tutoring.

Ah yes. Tutoring...it's already stigmatised that every Asian goes tutoring in order to get ahead of school. So many teachers hate it, in particular my Year 11 Chem teacher who clearly disliked it when she heard that people went tutoring. The reason I am posting this is in response to a status update on facebook regarding whether there is anyone who don't go tutoring in my grade. This is purely my opinion and I am offering another dimension to look at this controversial matter. Please don't rage at me if you think what I am saying is bullshit...because I may most likely dismiss what you think as bullshit too.

Why people don't like tutoring:

1. Sabotaging the educational system. i.e. creating an uneven distribution...in the way that you must have money to go tutoring...the disadvantaged don't get it. Amiright?

2. It's not a reflection of a person's natural ability but merely a reflection of their ability to pay their way through the educational system and thus, get a place in a selective school etc.

The arguments above...are most likely what angers most people about tutoring centres. They believe that it is an unfair system... or whatever.

I guess it is true to some extent, but hey! Life is unfair, okay? And people have a natural inclination to want to get ahead of others and be benefited as a result.

I believe tutoring is beneficial to most students...especially those students who simply have AWFUL teachers at school who cannot teach most of the time. And put it this way, tutoring does take up time too so for those who get tutored, they must make most of their time and plan their studying around it etc. And...we are in year 12 this year. You can't really blame people for wanting to got the extra mile to excel in their subjects, in order to get better ranks and possibly a better ATAR... My final words? Quit whining and start studying!

PS: I am going to see Muse. Oh where at? IN THE FREAKIN' MOSH.... Ohhhhhhh.

Gutted

I am absolutely gutted that Jake has left the Masterchef competition.

Joanne should have totally left the show..she was the one responsible for the shit batter that was made on the day.

Jake..on the other hand...he's been consistent and FIXED UP THAT DAM FREAKING SALMON WHEN MARION COULDN'T BONE IT PROPERLY

So utterly annoyed.
