Correction!!!
Sorry people, i spent about 2 hours just talking to Shirley last night. I made a mistake, it's Shirley, not Shelley, oh, and she's not Vietnamese, she's Thai. Imagine the embarrassment. Haha. Yup... Apparently her parents used to have a Thai restaurant here in Brisbane... outskirts somewhere, can't remember now.
Most of the night she talked about her clubbing stories and her extremely strict father and not-so-strict mother and life stories and episodes and stuff... I had little to share. Just the general on the surface stuff. I don't tell people everything in our first actual "talk". I don't trust people easily and so we'll just have to see how it goes... It's always good to share events from your life and let the other person "feel" like they know you, especially if you're gonna be living with the person, but i prefer to do things my way. Besides, i'm more of a listener, and she's more of a talker. So what a great situation to be in where everything just fits, extrovert meets introvert. Good... I don't have to "make" conversation, saves me a lot of energy and that way we don't have those awkward, silent moments... So all is good for now.
Tomorrow is Show and Tell day, every Wednesday is, for ITC (Introduction to Creativity). I'm still dwelling on what i want to talk about. We can talk about anything we like or interests us in any industry and explain why we think it's creative and how it's creative. My dilemma is between talking about movies, either The Matrix or Closer, or talking about karma, fate and luck. I know karma, fate and luck is not exactly part of any particular industry, but i emailed Tim and he said i can talk about it if i want. SO now i'm thinking: save the heavy stuff for later or get the heavy stuff out first so people will look forward and wonder what you will talk about next? Hmm... thinking, thinking. I'll go home and think. Plus i need to call my mom and ask her what i'm supposed to do with cornbeef and sweet potatoes... Gosh... I'm never going to be able to cook... I showed my parents my first ever cooking experience on tape and they laughed their heads off...
Thanks for reading and thanks for caring!

Yojg..u'd vanished for almost 2 weeks!! Great to know that ur parents were there to keep u company. U know..same here, after 2 years out there, it doesnt make any difference. It just makes every trip home more exciting and precious, and everytrip back to "the place" more difficult. Dreadful. Sighs, well at least we know we've all got a future that we want waiting for us to grab it, which makes all the crying and dreading and err..puking worth living with. hahaha.
Btw, interesting subjects u got there...i vote u to talk..Closer. ;)
Cheers for now.
hey, nice to see you're still logging on from time to time. Yeah, in the end i went with luck, karma and fate. Tim liked it, don't know bout the rest of the class though. Haha. Don't care. Was a bit nervous though. No powerpoint is much harder, cos then all the eyes are on you. Next time i won't be so nervous. I'll talk about Closer next week, cos it's visual week. And what is more visual than movies? Plus Closer has sentimental value cos i watched with my parents. Have you seen it? I love the message. So true.
You know... I kinda miss ur apartment. XD.
Cool morgz, haha... you were only here 2 nights i think... and you miss it... haha... sweet. better come over next year then. haha... Kev, no i won't. I no longer drink and i do not and never will like clubbing. Yeah, will do the movie reviews from time to time. Not now though, so far since the semester's started, i've been really busy. Blown friends off a couple of times... Not cos i wanted to, cos i had to... Anyways, will do that and other "highlights" of my life. Cool. Cheers guys(minus the alcohol)...
