the good and the bad of life.


yesterday was a mix of both good and bad. lets start on some of the good things first. good, i managed to wake up at 6:30am and get on my bus and make it on time to my japanese assessment task. good, i got through my japanese writing task easy, it was a breeze. good, i went to my next jap class and got all my project writing proof-read. bad, i cant read some of the teacher's handwriting very well, so aren't sure if my corrections are correct afterall!

good, went to chinese class and watched another film. good, finished classes for the day. good, met up with kate, sarah and loren by the lawn for lunch. good we all got our free hoyts tickets ...
finally!!!! in the process of deciding what to see and when.

good, went for a browse along the dodgy shops on swanston street. good, spent some of my parents money on new skinny leg jeans for wearing through winter with my boots of course!
(as my other pair sadly need a belt to keep them g-rated since my chinese weightloss... which i believe weight-wise is returning very slowly. damn u donuts and other crappy foods i now have constant access to!)

ooh, looks good. my ass that is. ^_^

kidding. i mean the jeans.

my other skinnies are quite blue, so i went for a nice cheap $35 more grey stressed shade.

and they have a pretty diamonte in the button! ooh! i was sold. haha


and yes, clearly im not endorsing highwaist jeans. meh. stupid highrise. my tummy does not like suffocating. i do believe people have been trying to convince us that high rise jeans are coming back, for at least the last 2 years. (sounds rather like frank going to france...he's been in the process of 'going' there for quite some time now...he's yet to arrive though. yet to leave china for that matter!)

so yes, im not encouraging the high waist. i hunted high and low (lol! pun intended) through chinese markets, acted many an odd mime and used many a bad grammatically pieced together sentence to get my hands on low-waisted (as in, at least below the belly button) jeans. so i will not stoop to buying silly high-waist jeans in aust for any stupid 'supposed' fashion.

moving on. good, i went home. bad, i had house-work (i.e. washing) to do. bad, i also had homework to do. good, i started my calligraphy final project. it was going pretty well.

bad, calligraphy project.

after about an hr and a half of tiring work, when i had only 2 more characters to write i unfolded the last square of the paper only to discover the ink had all pressed through!! there's now the imprint of upside down characters ruining the whole work.

argh!! i could scream. had to start all over again!!!!

good, another 2 hours later i had finished a stain-free calligraphy piece. can relax a little. ultimately it looks better than the first copy anyway, but oh my god that was so frustrating. how blonde and stupid i felt at the moment of unfolding the paper. urgh.



good, called leo to say goodnight. bad, the conversation ended way too soon. have to wait another half a day 'til i can talk to him again. :-( ... junjun wo tai xiang ni la! but i can call him twice today, yeah! love fridays with no class.

so yeah think that more or less ends my mix of good and bad happenings. clearly there was more good than bad, which in itself is good. though the calligraphy stuff up did cost me 4 hrs of my life and a severe amount of frustration and anger, both of which are still unvented by the way- so watch out!! lol

oh, and when i was laying out the newspaper under my calligraphy work (so as not to ink stain my mother's table) i noticed this funny connex add in the MX. i added some notations as i felt appropriate. (click to enlarge.)




p.s. i love my boots. so comfy and warm.

inside is lined with fur, so cosy- yummy! (fake of course, im assuming cos they were damn cheap, lol but i dont really care much anyway, i have funny rabbit fur hairties somewhere. my dad always tells me the rabbit fur comes from the bunnies' bums hahaha.

oh well, guess animal protection fanatics will think it serves me right. lol)

and to clear up any misunderstandings i do love animals, esp cute little things like kittens and bunnies. how could u not love something so cute and soft and just clearly screaming out to be cuddled???
