  • MA over.

    October 31st, 2006

    Dear Chibi,
    Since last night, I’ve become ill again, surprise surprise. It wasn’t that long ago since I recovered from the cold and now I’m back there again. It’s a pattern, which is quite sad. I normally get sick during times when I’m under pressure/stressed or think too much. MA project is finally over today, and I’m glad SC was extended so I could go home early and rest. I’ve just woken up from a 5hr sleep and I didn’t dream about coding! YAY!.. (I meant the 5hr nap.. I had the worse dream about coding last night >.>)

    With everything else extended to week 15, I’ll have this week to work on them…I’ll try working hard!

    when words look wrong

    October 29th, 2006

    Dear Chibi,

    It’s 1.25am thanks to daylight saving thing.. pushed forward an hour, and as a result- I think I’ve gone a bit @_@ Have you ever, suddenly- out of the blue; think words look wrong? I was working on my Video project when I typed the words “strengths” and THAT looked really weird to me a few moments ago. It seems..wrong.. the more I look at it, the more uncertain I’ve become with the spelling..is it strenth? When I tried sounding it out, I thought..where did the ‘g’ come from? lol I was so lost for a few seconds.. so lost that I opened Word to check if spelling was correct.

    And of course it was..the word looked like it morphed for a few seconds..maybe I should sleep..haha!

    a week and a bit left

    October 25th, 2006

    Dear Chibi,

    I couldn’t complete my Flash project as planned.. I’ve still got bits of coding and graphics to fix as well as applying audio..oh..and make tutorial for it c.c I shall work on it after this log. I woke up due the to thunderstorm this morning, and I’m glad I did cause it was already 10am! I’ve worked on my video ‘Virtually Me’ project for a change and got some bits done but I’m sure I could have been more productive. I would say..Flash is 80% complete.. Video 20%.. Screen Culture Essay 0% (sadly).
     5 days til Flash deadline, 8 days til Video and SC Essay~

    On another note, I’ve been sleeping quite well for the past week or so, it’s probably because I’ev been quite tired… however- for 5 nights consecutive (including last night) I’ve had dreams about coding in Flash @_@ It wasn’t exactly bits of code flying around, but coding was applied to life, people and situations.. Its pretty hard to explain, and I can only vaguely remember. Last night I had a scary dream along with the coding bits earlier; there was a huge tsunami..it was soooooo scary…the scene started off at a calm beach, but then it just came and washed everyone away… >< Everyone was screaming, running..it was chaotic… and then came the thunderstorm that woke me up.

    random talk

    October 20th, 2006

    Dear Chibi,
    quick question… do flies get tired of flying? I just saw a fly flying in front of the computer screen.. and that is the SLOWEST pace I’ve ever seen… I could literally poke it, catch it if I wanted to, and it won’t be able to escape my hand O.o… It must have had a loooong day. As I’m writing this, much like this morning, I feel very tried and sleepy… once I finish preparing for tutoring tomorrow, I ‘m outta  here..lol

    Speaking of which, MichaelZ, Marcus and I had lunch together today and it was quite amusing…and one unusual one! I thought it was rather funny, especially what we were eating..hahaa…health freaks..lol It’s actually Michael’s 20th tomorrow so we thought we’d spend some time with him today, even if it’s not really doing much. It’s gonna be one busy weekend!

    Today the video tutor didnt come, on Tuesday MA lecture was cancelled, on Thursday SC lecture was cancelled.. apparently Steve didnt show up for 3D either…whats going on? O_o

    Week 12 is over, 2 more weeks left!

    October 20th, 2006

    Dear Chibi,
    I’m sitting here in the early Video tutorial waiting for class to start and I feel like a zombie! *insert generic scary face* %_$ I’m soooo tired at the moment.. Yesterday I had an 18 hr day and 6 hours sleep…now, that may sound normal to you, but when you’ve been sleeping little and getting up early for days consecutive, not many can maintain sanity..lol

    wow..my eyes sting at the moment.. maybe I should go get a drink!

    Dear Chibi,
    If you were on my MSN would have noticed that I’ve been set to ‘busy‘ for quite a lot during the past few days. I’ve been dedicating all my time towards my Multimedia Coffee Project, and there has been some good progress, yay! The coding alone…well, I think I have about 70%, still have more to do (and figure out)..can’t wait to see this project finished with music and all =) The project has been extended to week 14 (2 weeks as oppose to 1) but I’m still hoping to have it all done by Tuesday next week.. this is because I have totally neglected my Video Project (which is 2% completion) and Screen Culture Essay (0%)…O_O..yea.. not to forget the response I have to do next Tuesday as well as my Language Quizes..

    Nevertheless, one at a time! I feel quite nervous about my MA project though, mainly because I’ve been working on it for a whole semester..and, I’m not sure if it will all work out at the end… when you spend a lot of time on something, you just want the best possible outcome for it. Having said that, yes- I actually like what I’m making (I feel attached to it).. I hope I’ll love it when it’s complete. It wasn’t always like this, sometimes I liked it, sometimes I hated it.. sometimes I wanted to give up on it, but most of the time I wanted to believe I can do it. I guess only time will tell.

    Tomorrow is…Thursday. Fresh new day…
    Work hard Jen!

    cosey-ness

    October 16th, 2006

    Dear Chibi,

    On my way home today I went into BigW to buy some stuff when I saw all those Xmas stockings for sale..and I feel all nostaglic and everything XD I love Christmas…there’s still 2 months away, but the thought of it is nice! Can’t wait to Xmas…hehe.. last year was spent overseas, this year it should be in Australia. Today the weather was quite cold..the best thing to make you feel warm and happy is no other but PICNIC! I love you!! hahaa…

    Anyways, due to the MA lecture being cancelled today; I went to work earlier and sat at the Monastery reading my Lang Reader; I was really tired. I thought I’d take a mini nap, and it felt sooo nice just being able to rest on my arms with eyes closed.. a few seconds after that, Venerable came along and made me a cup of coffee and brought me cookies, I was so happy..lol.. how sweet is that? Maybe I’m just easily amused by little things, but it did feel all warm and cosey.. ^^

    real, or illusion?

    October 14th, 2006

    Dear Chibi,
    Something quite freaky just happened…not sure if I was just hallucinating or not. Here I was sitting at the computer, working away with my MA project when the door bell rang. Reluctantly I went to see who it was (I don’t normally like getting up when in the middle of work).. When I got to the door, through the curtains on the window next to it, I saw a blue figure. I wasn’t sure what I was seeing so I peered through the gap of the curtain and saw a girl with black hair, light blue T-shirt holding a bag of something. I have no idea who that was, so I assumed she was someone looking for my sis…Kaz happened to be walking towards the door, so I let her open it instead just to find.. no one. O_O Man I’m lost.. we didn’t see anyone getting out of the front gate (and it normally makes a noise)..so who did I see…just then?? O__O
