tabu!

definition: turbulence ahead, buckle up!!!

this is it. the next fifteen days will mark the most stormy days of my life.

15 days of feverish studying - (4 X half-days of examinations)
= ecstatic jubilation OR crushing despair

but wait, it doesn't end here.

i've gotta factor in another 26 days of gruesome suspense while those in charge doodle over my papers before passing their inevitable judgment. and then it's a race against time to get the transcript shipped to me so i can ship it back to the schools that i've applied to before all the places are taken up.

so it's actually
15 - (4 X .5) + 26
= a little over a month of unstable confusion
= ecstatic jubilation OR crushing despair

IF ecstatic jubilation,
a little over a month of unstable confusion + god-knows-how-long-for-the-shipping
= multiple-orgasm

IF crushing despair....
i'll not think defeatist thoughts for now, plenty of time to torment myself later.

oh well, i'll take it one day at a time. at least for the first part.

renne's an idiot

she wanted to go out today and wanted to borrow the pug (note: pug = short for peugeot). since mum was home i suggested she take the tortoise. she was adamant, thus.

five minutes after she left i received a call from her.

saw an article in the papers yesterday. a unsw representative would be in town today to give interviews and answer queries. so i prepped all my transcripts and went.

he said: i'm afraid you wouldn't be offered a place in unsw based on your current results. i'd suggest staying on in rmit. alternatively, if you want to go to a sydney university you can try applying to uts or macquarie, because they have slightly lower entry requirements... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

i heard: ... ... ... ... wouldn't be offered a place in unsw ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

using politically correct terms he gunned me down, like a firing squad at point blank range. essentially he's saying unsw is too good for the likes of me, my transcripts are asswipes and it'd be meaningless to even try.

even though it was obvious he was trying to be nice about it, each word stung a little. yep, a little. like an excavator gouging my guts out.

i'm so motivated.

yay.

when passions wither and die

all the blog links seem to have ceased. now they're all seemingly dead links.

lost interest, maybe? or was it all just a passing fancy? when will i feel the same?

no matter, just added tristan's and renne's blog links. been reading renne's blog like a storybook previously, but stopped due to exams. she's really quite entertaining when she's bored.

really bored of studying accounts.

heh.

déjà vu

had a super weird dream last night...

i was in a car/cab, in just another landed neighbourhood. i mean there was nothing amazing or breathtaking about it. there was a circular tarmac area at the end of the road, and about three houses have gates facing the plot.

i got out of the car/cab, and immediately faced the gate of one of the houses. the funny thing was, instead of a driveway and house i saw a valley behind it. it was like two hills that rolled away from me, gently at first, until it disappeared from sight. between the two rolling hills was the most spectacular night view of the city lights i've ever seen. it took up most of my vision.

then i walked away from the gate and beheld another property. this one has a house, but in the weirdest colour and shape. the house itself was big beyond comprehension, all i could see was this dining room the size of a hangar. and the dining table and chairs were hanging at the ceiling! i could see the holes in the ceiling over the respective chairs which i could only assume were where the occupants accessed dinner from. the colour of the whole room was like the sia stewardess' kebaya, but in red rather than blue.

the third house i saw was even weirder. okay i could see the whole house, but that's about the only normal thing. because the house was the length of a cruise ship, but was at most 1.2m wide. throughout. and in pink. with a white roof. the shape was like one pink rectangle sitting on another, only skewed to the side.

and the weirdest thing about this dream? everything looked new and wonderous and very 夢幻 but i felt like i've seen it all before. but i loved the view of the city lights through the valley most.

tripping day 2

on the second day we went on a cave tour, a refreshing hike and a cable ride. loads of fun.

prelude to brekkie

dining room. the whole place had a really cosy feeling.

wide variety of cereal to choose from. but the real breakfast was ham, sausage and egg. tasty.

hotel owner's dog. love the way the stubby legs blurred with all the fluff.


au revoir! t'was fun!

ah, on the roads again! i love the skies.




endless plains



wind turbines


we were running late for the cave tour, so mm drove a little fast and overtook a lot of vehicles. it was fine at first . . .



. . . until we came to the 山路 . . .

me: it's ok to be late, just drive safely.
mm: hmm? very unsafe meh?
me: erm... ya... too fast......

because i was on the left side of the car, which conveniently also happened to be the at-least-1000-meter-drop cliff side. everytime we came to a right bend it seemed like we were gonna shoot off the cliff. of course mm never realised; people on the right can't see the cliffs!!

what can i say? mm drove like crazy.

made it in one piece




















back into daylight

oh my god. it's a 1098s...


adventurers

we took a walk out to a small lake. this was where we had to drive through to get in. narrow eh?




the lake. it's got a name but i forgot it.

the water's really green. the serenity there calms nerves, like the chills i got when i saw the cliff drop on my left.


po's dad came along and allowed me a few shots


but then he ran away again




looks cool in sepia.

at a cafe washroom. in katoomba i think.


while waiting for the skycar

ah, here it comes!






i have no idea what this is for
