:)

i'm happier today, definitely.
best friends, definitely.

i'm not gonna lie and say that nothing's changed.
.. cos something's definitely changed between us.

i'm glad though that i got my feelings out~
and he's not treating me any differently, and i'm so glad for that too.
somehow i'm also glad that he didn't accept my feelings, because in all honestly maybe i wouldn't have been ready for it anyway.

you're the best!

Just a little bit too busy..


I’m into my 2nd year of uni and I reckon I’ve taken on a little more than I can chew. I’ve decided to overload some of my 3rd year units so that I can enjoy more when I am in Japan. Basically instead of the usual 4 units, I’m doing 5. Not too much of a difference but the thing is that 2 of the 5 units I’m doing are extremely hands on and it’s taking up a lot of my time. In conjunction to my studies, I’m also working heaps to save up money for Japan, and as the president of the Korean Cultural Club at my uni, I have to plan and organise events which in itself takes up so much of my time. On top of that, there are a ton of applications, health checks, meetings that I must do and attend in prep for Japan next year. I’m feeling the pressure.

But that’s ok, I’m sure it’ll be all worth it in the end.
Sooo.. just a quick update for last week, my lovely Korean Cultural Club participated in a food festival event~ We cooked Korean Spicy Ricecakes.. 350+ portions, selling out in less than 2 hours, not bad huh?



Later, our KPOP Dance Club (a sub group of Korean Cultural Club) performed a mash up dance to popular Korean pop songs, one of which was GANGNAM STYLE.. of course.. haha.
As tiring as it is being a president AND founder of a club (not boasting), I’m so glad how things turned out. I’ve always wanted to leave a legacy somewhere where ever I go, be somebody, achieve something. With this, I reckon I’ve made my mark~
Thanks for reading!

public transportation.. roar!!

Yes, I understand that there is absolutely nothing I can do about it, and no matter how much I hate it, I still have to depend on it.. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.. argh.

I had the worst day ever. One of the cables that provides power to the trains had apparently snapped causing trains to stop moving. I know it was a serious matter, but c'mon, they could have handled the situation better than they did today. It was absolutely horrible, guards with bad attitudes especially. There were replacement buses but it was so chaotic that everyone was getting onto the wrong buses. (See picture below) It was so FRUSTRATING. And unfortunately for me, I was the lucky few who boarded the wrong bus, but that was because the bus driver told me the wrong information. So.. my usual 1 hour journey to uni took me almost 3 hours. I was a very angry girl.. Thanks a lot Transperth.

But on a good note, I ordered my camera today *^_^*
so I bought a Canon 650D DSLR Camera 
with a EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens 
and a Canon EF-S 17-55mm F2.8 IS USM Camera Lens
and  a Sandisk Extreme Pro SDHC 95MB/s Class 10 SD card

Now I just need maybe a filter and a nice bag to put them in!

Can't wait!

so sick of shallow love songs.. seriously!

I've always thought that sad love songs were the only type of songs that I could connect to.. even the songs I write, they're always about the typical heartbreak, unrequited love, loneliness. I also tend to always write about 'feelings' more so than 'stories' ie. typical lyrics in my songs would be 'I want to be next to you, I miss you, it hurts, I cried..' never a 'story'. I did attempt to write a song in a story format but it ended up more about feelings... again. hmm.

I did however find some inspiration today. I cried listening to this song.. like 5 times.. that's the kind of song I'd like to write:


Hope you like it too :)

 Lyrics to Tea and Toast
Tom was born in 1942
With eyes of blue
And the doctors said that his birth was far too fast
His heart stopped twice
But yet he survived
As he took his first breathe
His mother took her last
And his father knew that he wasn’t to blame
But he never quite looked at Tom the same after that
And he rarely spoke about her
But when he did
He said your mother used to say this
When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it’s hope
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
Skies will clear my darling
I’ll wake up with the one I love the most
And in the morning, I’ll make you up
With some tea and toast
When we met through a friend
Who introduced them
The first thing Tom said was would you like to dance?
They moved with each other and when the music got slower
He said don’t let go of my hand
He said It’s only polite if I ask you tonight
Would it be alright, if I could walk you home?
That night he told of of his birth
And said when it hurt
He thought about what his mother said about tea and toast
Two quick years went by
They were side by side
And without a plan, they conceived a little child
He said women I love you and this you know
But I only have enough for our food and clothes
But I love you and this baby
Until the day that I die
She said we’ll take care of this little life
And we’ll fall in love with her baby blue eyes
And we’ll be alright from some advice that I know
She said I never got to meet her
But if I did, I’m sure your mother would have said this
When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it’s hope
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
Skies will clear my darling
We’ll show this baby all the love we know
And in the morning, I’ll make you up
With some tea and toast
Well he took those words
And he made them proud
He worked day after day
And hour after hour
So that they could buy a little house on the outside of town
The little girl grew up and so did they
They said that they loved each other everyday
And forty years later, that brings us to now
And as they’re walking down the street
Her grip loosens on his hand
He puts his arm around her side as she falls to the ground
He hears her breathing and thats the only sound
Her body on the floor attracts a worried crowd
Tears rolls off his face as he says “don’t let go, now”
And he’s sitting by her bed in the hospital (ward?)
Their daughter walks in with a family of her own
She says “dad, I don’t know if she can hear you now
but there’s one thing mum would want you to know”
When the skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it’s hope
After dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
Skies will clear my darling
Now it’s time for you to let go
And in the morning, I’ll make you up
With some tea and toast

Filming!!

For 10 weeks now, I've been working on a student film production for an assignment at uni and I've realised that I actually really enjoy filming. To be honest, it's not easy. If you're not careful, there are a ton of things that could go wrong. Continuity problems which could affect editing, bad time organisation which would meant that we didn't get through our scheduled shots during shooting time, and since we are using the school's equipment, we've encountered various equipment faults during our shoots (like yesterday when our camera was being a pain) and that is very ANNOYING! My group is great though, there are 8 of us and I honestly think we work so well together. Best group of people ever!

In saying that, I think I'd much rather be on camera than behind camera.. haha :) childhood dreams yep!


I'm actually also thinking of getting a DSLR: Canon 650D with 17-55mm F2.8 IS USM Lens with either 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens or a 40mm STM Pancake Lens. I'm excited, and will doing some final research on the camera and lens, hopefully purchasing it tonight or tomorrow :):)
