Funny highlight of the day

I had the strong urge to update my blog 2 weeks ago but something put it off and I can’t remember what it was now. Maybe it was the huge amount of photos I’ve uploaded but got too lazy to write captions for each and every one of them so yeah..

Been on holidays for about 5 weeks now. Don’t remember doing much really. Initially it was catching up with Uni friends who were all leaving for their home countries. Then it was catching up with Naoka - a High School friend I haven’t met in 3.5 years. Then it was watching a whole lot of dramas and to date, I’ve probably watched 10 dramas since exams. Throughout this period I’ve also been running back and forth to the city/UWA to get things done for my Temporary Visa. At the moment I’ve got my medical check-ups done, police clearance done, documents certified, forms printed and half filled out, IELTS to be done this weekend, so I’m nearly there.. *wipes sweat off*

Speaking of which, 3 more days to IELTS. EXCITING!
I’m actually quite nervous but then at the same time I seemed relaxed. Ahh what to do?

----------

Anyways, something funny happened to me today. I’m normally a person who sleeps a lot, like I can wake up at 2pm in the afternoon and still take an afternoon nap at 4pm. I actually sleep that much. Now I don’t know about others, but I keep my phone beside me/under my pillow when I sleep (yeah I know that’s extremely bad). If I ever wake up in the middle of the night, I usually check for the time.

So what really happened was that I jerked awake and through my phone, I realised it was 6.30 this morning. First thing I thought to myself was OH MY GOD CRAP! The Sun wasn’t up yet and during Winter the Sun sets early so I actually thought it was 6.30PM. The reason behind my reaction is because I was panicking the fact that I haven’t cooked dinner!

Okay so now all of you are starting to think I’m mad right! It gets worse I tell you. Why? Well..

In disbelief, I got out of bed and walked to my desk, checked the wall clock not once but twice. Realising that the time is right, I started thinking what to cook for dinner. I opened my room door and stepped into my freezing cold living room, but just before I reached the kitchen, I stopped. I thought to myself “when did I take an afternoon nap? why do I have no recollection of it at all? the last thing I remember doing was..”

DOING MY FACE MASK AND DOZING OFF IN FRONT OF MY LAPTOP CAUSE IT WAS 4AM.

Only then I realised I didn’t take an afternoon nap. I only went to bed 2.5 hours ago. It’s actually 6.30AM & not 6.30PM. It’s not time to cook dinner yet. In fact, why am I even feeling guilty about not cooking dinner the first moment I jerk awake from my beauty sleep?! Why so housewifey?

Anyways, I quickly went back to bed right after. So that’s my funny highlight of the day.

♥

If I can have you for the rest of my life
Oh baby my body’s turning cold as ice
Nothing I could do
If I’m losing you
It’s getting just as cold as ice
Cold as ice
Each time that you leave
It’s like I’m shiver inside
Oh baby my body’s turning cold as ice
Nothing I could do
If I’m losing you
It’s getting just as cold as ice
Cold as ice

♥

I was losing myself to somebody else
But now I see
I don't wanna pretend
So this is the end of you and me
Cause the girl that you want
She was tearing us apart
Cause she's everything
Everything I'm not

Before the start of Week 13

20 calculation MCQs in 20 minutes at 8am in the morning.

It sure was not an easy task. Only managed to attempt 18 of them.

Feeling dejected now.

No more job applications for the time being.

Back to my xx odd i-lectures to do before exams.

--------------------

4 out of 6 Uni semesters I’ve had exam timetables like this.

3 consecutive exams all the time. Always the heavy weighted exams are clamed together.

Seriously no one can beat it.

-------------------- 

Say hello to goodbye, cause it’s gone forever
No more try, you and I
Not now, not ever
And I'll get by without you
I'm not going back again
I'm not going to lie to you
Cause, that was there and only then.

My personal view on the GE (pure ramblings)

Read from bottom up.

"Dear Opposition, if you're voted in today, please do a good job. If not, you're out of a job in five years’ time."

Reminiscence

Sometimes I just wish you could give me some undivided attention.

Put everything that you’re doing aside for a moment. Focus on me and just me.

Why is it that when you’re in Melbourne, you always have to be doing something else whilst talking to me?

Why is it that when you’re in Perth, your mind is constantly thinking about Melbourne?

Why do I feel that whilst you’re standing right in front of me, you’ve left your heart in Melbourne?


You just had to check on the footy results every half an hour.

You just had to send important emails and check them every one hour.

You just had to text or call your friends in Melbourne every two hours.

You just had to do everything else, except giving me some undivided attention for a moment.

You just.. had to do it.


Would you only treasure something, when you realised you’ve lost it?

Do you have to learn things the hard way?


There comes a time, when everything that you do, don’t matter anymore.

30÷2(2+3)÷5=?

Work out the answer for the above equation.

……….
Now what did you get?

……….
0.6? 15? Neither?

----------

Now here’s the interesting thing. It is possible to get both numeral answers, depending on how you did it.

Remember the BODMAS rule we learnt in school?

B: Brackets first
O: Orders (i.e. Powers and Square Roots etc.)
DM: Division and Multiplication (left-to-right)
AS: Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

You would definitely have used this method to solve the above equation, if you actually worked it out on paper rather than using a calculator. But to get both answers, it really just depends on how you interpret the BODMAS rule.

1) Answer: 0.6
30÷2(2+3)÷5=?
=> 30÷2(5)÷5 (B)
=> 30÷10÷5 (B)
=> 0.6 (D left-to-right)

2) Answer: 15
30÷2(2+3)÷5=?
=> 30÷2(5)÷5 (B)
=> 30÷2x5÷5 (DM left-to-right since 2(5)=2x5)
=> 15

So the crucial point here is, how do you interpret the BODMAS rule?

Do you derive the result of 2(5) using the bracket rule or just translate it to 2x5 since we were taught that brackets mean multiplication? 

Which is right and which is wrong? Which method did you use?

Interesting isn’t it?

----------

I found this on Facebook and thought it’s nice to share it with everyone.

I read through the comments made by some people and came across this one I thought it’s really funny. This person rephrased the equation and made it into a word problem that goes like that:

”If the government is giving 30 dollars to 2 families of 2 adults and 3 children before taxing them 80%, how much would each member get? Still 15 bucks? Or 60 cents?”

Totally ROFLOL!

HAPPY EASTEREVERYONE! STAY SAFE ALRIGHTS?

醉後決定愛上你

OMG this drama looks like a good one to catch! Why are all the actors so handsome one? *faints*

It also features Kingone from the recent Singapore’s feature film Love 50% 《爱情折扣》.
Romance genre overdosed omg.

辛苦了，幸福就会来了 :)

Chanced upon this quote and thought it makes a hell lot of sense! So interestingly true too!

“How do you expect kids nowadays to listen to their parents when Tarzan lives half naked, Cinderella comes back home at midnight, Pinocchio lies all the time, Aladdin is the king of thieves, Batman drives at 320km/hour, Sleeping Beauty is lazy and Snow White lives with 7 guys. We shouldn’t be surprised when kids misbehave at times! They get these ideas from their own storybooks.”

A pinky post

Went window shopping one day in the city when I came across this store that sells watches. I’m not a big fan of watches and all, but what really caught to my attention was this PINK range of watches. They’re so damn pretty la.. So this was prolly 2 weeks ago.

Been thinking about it every now and then and regretting not asking for the prices, so I decided to pop by the store again and ask this time. The salesperson then proceeded asking me which watch I was interested in. Fear of telling him “oh you know that WHOLE PINK range out there”, I picked my favourite three.

Coincidentally, my favourite watch happens to be the cheapest one (out of that three). The salesperson - asian, further spoke in a low tone voice “I can give you 20% off that price”. That would make it $156 after discount. Great, now I’m even more tempted to get it because of that.

I know $156 is still quite costly - for a watch, given when I’m not even a watch person, and I never really buy branded expensive stuff because I don’t see the point. But I didn’t like it because it’s branded. It’s PINK, and that’s how it caught to my attention to start with. And I’ve looked around for a bit; can’t find any other brands that sells PINK watches.

It’s not that I can’t afford it myself, but this is obviously a want, not a need. So I’m having trouble thinking if I’ll not like it (as much) anymore after I buy it. And because it’s costly, I don’t want to buy it and dump it in one corner after that.

Should I buy? Maybe as a 21st birthday cum early graduation gift to myself? Watches can keep for life right? That would make it a memorable gift for life.

Been hearing from lotsa sources that Harbour Town has been having great sales. Finally succumbed to going with Wendy after so long of resistance. Maybe because I’ve been eyeing on a couple of rather expensive things recently, I didn’t really buy anything even though there’s so much sale going on.

Tried on a couple of things though..

A very low cut black elegant maxi dress from Forever New.

I really liked this dress for some reason, it’s just so pretty, but this was size 6 and the last piece, and it’s tight as hell. The material’s stretched to the max, and worst of all, I was barely breathing.

I also kinda really liked this dress from Chic-a-booti. The PINK’s not too bright, but it’s a love-hate relationship when it comes to the bottom part. It’s a unique dress with these daggling patterns pieces off the overall length, but I couldn’t decide how long my love for it will last.

----------

Back in February right after I came back from Singapore, I made a trip to Harbour Town and fell in love with the Kate Hill stam bags. I’ve always been wanting a PINK bag but was never able to find one that looks nice enough. But I kinda like the beige-white too, though the chance of staining it is just so great.

 
I was so tempted to get it at that point, but after seeing the price, I thought I’ll wait for the price to decrease in a couple more months before buying.

So 2 months on I went into the shop to find that the price has not dropped a single cent!! WHY?!?!

Should I spend my 1.5 weeks pay on it? Now that I’ve said it, $70 really isn’t a lot. But for a bag? Really?

Someone pretty please buy it for me for my 21st. The watch and bag shall go into my wish list for now. Sigh..

Okay 3 reasonably long-ish blog posts typed in 3 hours compensated for the lack of updates recently.

Week 7 of Uni just ended. I’m so close to the finishing line now I feel like pausing the quickness of how everything is coming to an end. Before the end there’s still so much to be done. At the end I don’t know what else would start. I hate how everything is so unpredictable at the moment..

New hairstyle?

You know, a lot can happen when you don’t feel like studying..


Young innocent look fail. Nerdy look with fake thick glasses even worse.

 
What about mature look?

Getting sick of straight hair at times. Feel like perming it now that my hair has grown so long.
And I really need to figure out my parting and fringe. Side parting seems to work better with permed hair. It doesn’t work with my current straight hair; it just looks weird. Or maybe it’s my face structure.
Or that could be due to my fringe. Should I cut it short? But I hate pinning fringes up.
How how?
Dilemma.

One weekend some weeks ago..

..some crazy-ass birthday party took place at my house. either way, if the noise level wasn’t loud enough to burst your eardrums, the mess created will cause you to think twice about throwing a party next time (especially when it’s at YOUR own house).

Honestly, I still have no idea what exactly took place. I was all along in my room, trying to do some i-lects but clearly failed due to distractions. When I came out in the middle of the night, this was exactly what I saw.

Poor Yellow Pages.

Anyways, went to the annual Joondalup Festival with Debra and finally tried the Wave Swinger after been wanting to try it since 2008. (quote Debra: just try it now; you’re getting too old for it soon.)

 

Right now I wouldn’t say I regretted trying it. But during the 5 minutes spin on the ride, I can tell you, every single second I felt like dying. Literally. Motion sickness kills me real badly. The level of height made it ten times worse. And to think I actually paid $9 for such a thrill.=.=

Shall end this post with a video of the not-so-great-fireworks-but-still-better-than-nothing.

A lovely polaroid video

Chanced upon this video and thought nawwww it’s so sweet. *heart melts*


The making of the video. So much effort for a 1 minute video but it’s soooo worth it.
Totally amazed by the way they made the polaroids form a 3D heart shape!


Despite having the worst week of the semester so far**, this video made my day.

** been travelling to Morley to get my mobile fixed before the warranty ends but it takes so long to get there. it’s like a 3 hours trip from my house to Morley to UWA. then another 3 hours return trip.. yeah tell me ‘bout it.

need to have found a small business who has a website and is willing to let us advertise for them for free (of course you would think who would ever reject such an offer, but life is full of surprises~) for A&P due Mon 3pm, so I’ll have to complete the hunt by this week.

annotated bibliography of 10 articles (each about 150-200 words) & weekly HRM executive reading report due Wed 9am. freaking readings readings readings.

have to forsake dim sum with the girls this weekend again because of these stupid things to do. only thing I’m looking forward to next week is attending all these people’s graduation.
*an excuse to utilise my polaroid camera that is already collecting dust in the drawer*

Hope everyone has been having a great week so far!
