Project 365 #21 - 23: Insane weather!

It has been raining for the past few days now! URGHH.

#21: there was a hailstorm! wei and i were out on Bridge Rd while it happened. We found it fascinating for awhile... and later on realised how much inconvenience the hailstorm has brought us. transports were affected, some places got flooded... this 84 year old great granny told me that she was at Chadstone when the hailstorm happened, and the flood was so bad that even the chairs in the cafes were floating around. gosh!

#22: Moomba Fest. we were supposed to watch the fireworks at night but it didn't happen because of the rain! sighhh! but we had fun hanging around tho :) had a really expensive plate of duck rice for dinner *heartache. 12 dollars for some stupid boney duck! hahahaha jarli said i still haven't gotten over it.

#23: Er Yi came and brought me 20+ kgs worth of stuff! omg damn shy!! thanks er yi! it's very touching. all my aunties are AWESOME. seriously! and it was mum who ran around buying stuff for me, and then packing them nicely to send it to me! there were so many people who were involved in successfully bringing my things over. like Lu who went around hunting for my textbooks. thanks:) 

my tripod, my textbooks (saved hundreds of dollars!), some of my clothes, jackets, slippers, bags, ink cartridges, ANCHOVIES!!!, vitamin C, bedsheets, quilt covers, sewing kit, stationaries.. even a pink shelf with compartments HAHAHA damn happy! thanks mum! Now i feel more at home ♥♥♥

HALO!!! Blogging from my phone!

Project 365 #16 - 20: busier than i expected

# 16: Need I indicate what this is? i was chopping carrots for dinner. The carrots went with minced meat really well. I'd love to show you a picture of my dish, but when I start cooking more, this blog will all be filled with food :S so let's leave the space for more complicated dishes yeah (if they're gonna exist)?

#17: Melbourne is in drought so if you see a sky like this you know it's gonna rain soon. and I'm really not the happiest person when it rains. It's gonna suck! everywhere's gonna be so wet and dirty eww.

#18: On my way back from Uni. the drink you see me holding in my hand? that was my lunch. It was 3pm and i wanted to wait to go home and eat, but i was too hungry. And I couldn't bring myself to pay 10 bucks for some retarded noodle in uni so i bought that for 6 bucks -.- and i was INSANELY thirsty I couldn't help it. 

#19: Seeing this gives me a sense of belonging and familiarity. The shops in Clayton are made up of small Chinese businesses selling all kinds of "Made in China" goods at a lower price compared to the Big Ws, Coles and Woolworths outside. and this is where i found my full length mirror! I was so excited to put it up on my wall.

#20: This is one of my housemates. We were waiting for another housemate to buy fruits. We went out for grocery shopping together but ended up buying more than we expected. Like i bought 2 litres of milk, 1 kg of corn flour and 1 kg of sugar on top of the other small things i meant to buy. imagine carrying all those back! It was sunny and hot.. and we were carrying too much stuff walking from one shop to another. and guess what? she even bought a monochrome printer and lugged it back home -.- [delivery charges is $40!!! @!(*&@*(!] After walking for awhile I felt that she kept stopping to catch her breath. haha. i literally ran home to put my stuff and then ran back to her to help her with her printer. she was too ambitious she even bought rims of A4 paper to lug back home -.-

before i started project 365, I thought I'd be able to blog everyday, since i thought I'd be all alone in this incredibly quiet suburb which has no shops whatsoever unless I am hardworking enough to walk 930 metres to a bus stop and hop onto a bus. But really, i was wrong. My everyday has been filled with things to do, whether planned or pure spontaneity, and I become too busy to insert my memory stick into the computer every single day just to post A picture on my blog. I'd also like to shyly admit that i'm not that committed :$ there are generally a lot of things which i cannot commit myself to, and blogging every single day is one of them. soon, even taking a picture a day would be tough!

ahhh. but I've finally kept up with the right day! 

5 freaking am

AND I AM AWAKE.

it's so cold somehow so i can't sleep. and it's only autumn. gawd, i don't remember suffering through such cold nights. i remember -16 in Beijing but i don't remember not being able to sleep.

there are a lot of things i don't remember............ and naturally a lot of things i remember as well. do you know, that sometimes when you've grown up with someone almost half of your life, that seeing that person change makes you wonder if whatever you're doing is right. whether the decisions you've made is wise. whether it's still worth the grip.

everyday is a change. everyday is somewhat a battle. everyday seems tiring now.

tell me about it.
