My new Desk



In a few days time, which is next Sunday, the Time line will change from 3 hours difference to 2 hours difference !! i m very glad because 3 hours difference is quite alot and i cant chat with my family at the right time and all.. when i can chat, they cant coz it's 9am here and it's 6am there... or when they can chat, it's time for my bed... 2 hours will make quite alot of difference... From what my friend said , the time keep changing when the weather and season changes... =.=

I received my LCD monitor few days ago, and it's really good, i can see small things in my work and i feel that my school work really improved... :) This is my new desk...



The smaller screen is my MacbookPro, with Tokio Hotel's Bill Kaulitz in it and the larger screen is my Dell LCD with the Twins, The Veronicas...

When all else fails, i will watch shows like desperate housewives or LOST.... so that i can observe lots of ideas and use it in my design... that's why watching shows is very important as you grab more and more stuffs from it, learn more not only from enjoying the movie... no matter what movie it is, it's all worth it ..



And of course, i didnt buy all of those, it will cost me a bomb, i borrowed some from my Friend...

Aunty Jolynn invited me over during the weekend, i guess it wont hurt to go .. hehe... in a few more weeks or even DAYS time, my sister hsu pei will be coming with Jong Tau and Ann gee will also be coming.... and den few months time mom and dad will be coming to settle the apartment thingy... wow.. and jUNE I am going back home... for my holidays !! weee

i am very excited about the time changes... hope it comes really soon !!

take care all
LOVE YOU

Bad Hair Day

It is Freeeeeezing today, SO freezing that i woke up around 5 times during my sleep, my feet were stone cold frozen, coz it's 9 degrees today and it's just so cold, but it is better than being Hot... haha.... So today i woke up at 1.30am,3.20am,4am, 6.50am, and 9.30am.... i get prepared for class and *PoOf* a Thunderstorm started... it rained heavily and i need my umbrella...

The wind was strong and it blew everyones hair till it is so tangled up and... everyone here has bad hairdays except for the balds... Lecture today was a tutorial, the students were divided into 5 teams and each team receives an object, ours is a measly little cloth, and we need to Sell that object as creative as possible.. So we thought about ideas on the ways to use it , like putting a rock inside the cloth and swing it like a weapon, or using it as a filter where you pee on it and it filters the dirt and clear spring water will come out ... or even using it as an extra handle when you are in the tram or the train.... the rest of the groups were having a piece of rock, an umbrella, a sticky tape and a macintosh mouse...So after that class ended and i, Ivan, and Amy went downstairs for a cup of coffee while i ate a plate of lasagna for lunch...

Soon after that we parted ways, i walked to Sanity ( A music/video store that i always go ) to check on my order status for my Desperate Housewives Season 3, and apparently it arrived and i forgot to bring my vouchers here, so i had to go back to my student hostel, grab my 10 dollar voucher and bought it for only 55 bucks, with another 2 vouchers, one is a pair of tickets to the movies worth 30 bucks and one 5 dollar voucher... that's what i like about Sanity, they give alot of good services and alot of junks and freebies...

After getting what i wanted, i went to the saloon to get my hair done, i am sick of my black hair and i need to change it, and my hair was getting long and untidy, especially when the wind blows, it makes me look as if i just woke up .. So i dyed it Redish brown and the hair dresser gave it a cut.... I love the color on my hair, it looks so rich and classic, but the hair cut was ugly... anyway i will fix it later on...

When i got back home, i found a slip underneath my door, it was from Dell.

When i was out, they were here to deliver my LCD Monitor that i ordered, and they didnt give me any notice or calls, so i need to make a delivery date and they will be coming tomorrow ... between 9am and 5pm so i need to stay put in my place just in case they arrive...

I need to change the place where i put my printer and all that coz the monitor will be a large one and i am afraid there wont be much spaces for the printer... maybe when i get my stuff, i will go to bigW and get an extra table... for my printer..

So that's all there is, there isn't... anymore!!
Thanks for your time reading bl0ggers!!

Love you lots

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday to Me...
It's my 19th Birthday and times flies..and my DS was spoiled, i brought it back to the shop today to change it, unfortunately, they do not have any black ones anymore, so i have to choose another color, and i got a white one... The reason that it's spoiled that it gave a very funny sound when i On it... it's not normal and it's more screeching... i wonder why...

Then i got home with my new DS changed, i on it and it gives the normal sound back again, and it asks me to change the date to todays, which is my birthday, i changed and i reset it, and i on back again... and the sound came back.. the screeching sound.. Then only i realized that i've changed for nothing, the sound changes when it is my birthday.... what the?

I went for a lunch by myself, had a bowl of fruits and a plate of rice with eggplant and minced meat gravy on top... after eating i went to Big W to buy my stuffs, like the sprayer so that i can iron, and also went to the Art shop to buy a color wheel because i need one for my reference... I cannot wait to see Hsu Pei and Ann Gee, sometimes i just do not understand why do people live in the suburbs, is it because of fresh air? All of my friends stays in the suburbs and it is difficult to find them because it's the... SUBURBS, which is far from the city ... Edwin and his girl friend set sail to Sydney today.. Good luck to them...

I wont be free to online today, since i have assignments to do, but i'll keep in touch, i hope i can experience something amazing to blog out here... hehe...

Take care

Desperately Desperate

I've been doing nothing but watching Desperate housewives these few days... it's Easter and all shops are closed, i want a decent meal also cannot find, restaurants, malls, grocerry stores... 80% closed... all i can eat are fast foods...and i do not have a good kitchen to cook, or even try cooking... Really dislike the way other people live in my hostel... they shout in the middle of the night, they put the TV to the maximum volume, and they talk as if they are deaf, shout here shout there especially those blurdy china girls that talk as if it's public... from my room, i can hear them, i cant sleep, i cant do anything, they are DISTURBING ME.... they seriously need to have an apple in their mouth.... these trashes..

I've been kinda lazy, slept like a piggy coz i cant sleep early... tomorrow i will start to get busy doing my assignments...my hair is growing longer and longer, i want to cut it but i dont want to because i need it to cover my ears... lol ... but in the end i will cut coz it will look untidy...

Hope that holidays ends soon... so bored... just wish that there are no holidays in between the semester, just finish studying and give us a large holiday will be better, coz we cant do anything with 1 week... want to go home? no... want to go out for tour when there are so many assignments? no .. want to party? for me no... it's just pointless and complete waste of time, sleeping is the only thing you can do, and sleeping waste time as well...

I am so bored that i dont even have anything to write coz i've been doing... NOTHING, going... NOWHERE... my friends are all in the suburbs for god knows why, and there's no point going ALL the way there just to meet them...and there's no point for them to come ALL the way here to meet me...

I'll stop here.... i am going back in June the 24th for my one month holiday, and lots of thing i would like to bring here...

Cant wait.
Take care

Happy Easter !!

My holidays started.... i was'nt thinking what to do, i was'nt thinking where to go, i was'nt thinking about my assignments... i was thinking how can i survive my boredom... why have holidays when i do not need it and why there's no class when i need it ... i just do not get it ... haha... but it seems that my friends will be coming down to town and we can have dinner together...

Recently i got REALLY interested in the German language... i do not really care about how people think how bad German is .. about adolf hitler and the nazi nazi what ever... german is a beautiful language, and so is the french language, i would really want to learn it if i have the chance since i am learning French now...and i'm learning it from the german songs from Tokio Hotel which is my favourite band... understood a little but they way they pronounce is like so difficult... Übers Ende Der Welt is pronounced this way '' Youbars AndThey De Zah Voult '' which means the end of the world....

Today was a very funny day... luckily today's weather was freaking good ... so i guess it was nice and cool.... not like the past few days... but according to the forecast i check everyday, tomorrow will be scorching back again.. damn that sun... but the whites seemed to LIKE it ... how could they? omg ... perhaps we malaysians are so exposed to Sunlight that we're so SICK of it... ^^

Classes today started off very lonely as Amy and Audrey overslept, i was alone and the teacher was showing us charcoal arts in making in an animation.... i really dislike fine or life drawing... why do we need to learn it ? i thought foundation's basics was enough... we're supposed to be more into Communication in Design.... but guess every1 has to go through it ..

After lunch we went back for our next session of class.... and the both sleepy heads came and it's media design now... The lecturer was just teaching us about Adobe Illustrator... and using the mac to do our internet details and all those stuffs...

So... when class ended we went back home.... i suppose to go to Edwin's to get some shows from him... unfortunately i didnt manage to get the lost from my other friend.. so i can only watch finish my damages and edwin's and get some japanese anime, although lost total interest, but it's the only way to go through my holidays.... hmm... and just got some american dramas like gossip girl and lost which is the 4th season...i want heroes to come back T-T

Went for sandwich again for dinner at Subway...



this is a 6 inch Italian Herbs and Cheese bread with Meatballs and lots and lots of lettuce,carrots and pickles with some honey mustard sauce and ceasar sauce, 6 inch!! OMG..... i tried eating 1 FOOT before, i can't finish, but i just stuff it in.... i ordered a fanta orange drink since i am sick of plain water.... just want some soft drink for the moment.... i enjoyed the meal, i have been eating subway for a week now... one for lunch and one for dinner... and i'm not sick of it yet.... coz i feel that it's well balanced in the nutritions and it's healthier and it's just 3.75 bucks for what i ate ...( 6 inches )

Ok i'm off with my dramas.......

Take care all !!
Love you lots

Color Mood

What's your Color?

Blue ? Red ? Green ? Yellow ? Pink ?

Colors are the first thing that you see when ever you open your eyes.... today i felt relaxed because the day after tomorrow we have a 1 week Easter Break holiday, so... today we needed to Rush our assignments... the worst thing is .. i CANT use my internet!! i Managed to call my friends about our research about color moods.... i am so sick of Collage.... REALLY SICK... i've been making like 8 pieces of work using collage like what lecturer wants us to do, i'm not really good with handicrafts and all that and i bladed my finger like cutting fish.... it's swollen and it's getting better day by day... i just hope i have the power of spontaneous human regeneration like Claire in Heroes.... so we were told to make 8 pieces of work, all abstract and no picture images of anything or even the shape, and no typography.. just Colors.... using colors to show a mood or a presentation... first we need to make a female and a male infant, den a male and female teenager, den a male and female adult... ok.. finished that... still have 2 more... Color Mood.... make a color mood choosing a theme... my theme was Love Dream and Sour-Ness....so i made it really sour.... but i am happy with the results, just hope the results smiles back at me the way the lecturer did... HEHE...

Today we drew naked woman again......ok..

Sorry i do not have any pictures... HAHA.....

I just bought Damages the Tv series which i found it REALLY interesting !!! it really makes your adrenaline go right up your brain, with WORDS... Award winner Glenn Close ( Cruella De Vil ) lol plays a very successful lawyer that is trying to bring another one down, with the help of Rose Byrne which did very well for her law and was accepted to Glenn Close's associates of law..... i've just watched 5 episodes so far... and it's really interesting...... alot of talking, but it makes alot of sense... since it's about law.. there are some parts where i do not understand..... =.= all those money terms just makes me annoyed and confused... but i try to understand because there's no subtitles in the australian DVDs.... hehe.... my friend will be lending me LOST and i'm gonna spend my holiday time watching it.... ^^ But i wanted her desperate housewives.... T_T but her bro lended his friends... I think after hsu yi watches Damages she might not wanna be a lawyer.. muahahaha ..

K la ... i wanna watch damages already..... so itchy my eyes...

Take care all.. and sorry for not posting any for the past few days coz my internet was busted and i was really freaked up with my assignements..

Happy Easter !!

Love,
Bryan

Build a Bear

Today's a tiring day, went out with Andrew to his house in the Suburb called Clayton. It's a very peacful suburb that have town houses and all sorts of asian groceries stores... We took the bus to Chadstone and went into a Large shopping mall to walk around... it's a very interesting shopping mall since it's just two floors but it's like 2km wide, most of the shops are boutiques and i guess girls will definitely love it ...There's myer, david jones, jb hifi... eb games.... etc.

But just this ONE shop that makes me think.... Denise ( maybe ) and Beatrice ( surely ) will definitely LOVE it....

It's called... Build A Bear !! :



What's Build A Bear? It's a shop where u make your own teddy bear !! Yeah, from step to step...sorry about the picture because the shop was closing since it's rather late... but i managed to get in for a few snaps...sisters, have a look, perhaps you would like to make one when u guys are here.. IT'S very expensive by the way.. =.=

These are the steps andrew told me, coz he made it before i guess or maybe he enquire.. :

FIRST STEP :



Check and find your teddy bear, which ones look cute for you, there are many types, as a first step.

SECOND STEP :



Choose the voice you want when you touch the Teddy Bear's tummy !!

THIRD STEP :



Take a Heart and make a wish, put it into the Teddy bear and the machine will start making your teddy bear!!

FOURTH STEP :



The Teddy bear will be placed under this to take a Bath and then brushed up nicely till it's coating's sweet and clean..

FIFTH STEP:





BUY some accessories and clothings for your teddy bear!! Looks nice but it's freaking expensive!! So make sure you get just one first and next time you'll just get another for your teddy bear!

FINAL STEP :



Pay for your Teddy Bear and get yourself a Teddy Bear Certificate. Your Bear is now borned... =.=
All together a Bear might take up to 70 bucks and plus accessories, another 30 bucks so minimum purchase is 90 to 100 bucks.. just for a Teddy bear... wow...

So after that , andrew and me went to the Melbourne Water festival and enjoyed a Fire works display...
We had dinner at the Dessert house, and we parted ways..

Today's a tiring day...
Gonna dive into my slumber..

Take care, and good night!!

LOve,
Bryan

Last day of my First week...

Today's the last day of my first week !! Woke up at 9 in the morning and had a cup of Tea and a banana for my mini breakfast, and off i am to class... once enter the building, i saw my friends Amy and Audrey, and surprisingly, the first guy that i met with, Ivan... went over to them and started chatting... Chat and chat untill 10.45am, there's no lecturer coming in... and students began to go out and never come back, the class was empty and something weird is going on... Ivan went to ask @ the helpdesk and guess wad? class cancelled and there's no notice for us.... Mad isn't it ?

So, the four of us, went down to Melbourne Central to a restaurant i've never been before, it's called Bremmers i think, i can't remember the name and Chocolate is their specialty, everything is Chocolate... i was thinking twice whether i wanna go in, coz i'm not really a big fan of sweet stuffs, but in the end... '' Just try lah ... '' hehe... so we went in, i ordered a waffle with this ice cream, and they have their homemade chocolate smudge and syrup on top, it's warm, plus with the ice cream, it's delicious.... i cannot believe it... Amy had a plate of large juicy strawberries and in the middle, they gave this warm thick melted chocolate where you dip the strawberries into the melted chocolate and eat it, i tried one of hers and it's so delicious, although the chocolate is fat free, so there's no sugar, it's slightly bitter and thick, but with the strawberries so sweet... muah* Magnific !!

So we chit chatted till 12.30pm .. waiting for our next class at building 12... we had Theory and History of Design, the lecturers were pretty lame ... trying to make jokes only they can understand...and the whole lecture was about only the lecturers, that's right, the 3 lecturers were just telling us about them, where they study and where they work, what they like... come on la this is a class we dont wanna know more about u except your name that's it, dont waste my 3 hours of sitting down there listening about your background story and ur mother father grandmother etc...

after that , i and amy took a walk around Melbourne since it's still early, and we need to head to Edwin's place to buy his old magazines...we went to the library and used their computers... mac again...crapness... and den... at 4.30pm we walked down to edwin's place and wanted to pay but he wants to give it free.... thanks edwin.

So at night, edwin invited me for dinner at his place, His girl friend ei leen cooked with another friend Sofia... and the tauhu was delicious, :D on my way i bought a wine for them coz going empty handed ain't that nice ya.. hehe ...

I had a nice day, it was tiring but it's worth every second except sleeping....

Take care !!

Forced...

Gonna make this short.... today is a wonderful day, not hot, not cold, nice and warm... yesterday's was wicked coz of our lecturer... forcing all students to get a mac, because he said design is more for mac, it's kinda true, but not all of us are rich... all computers used in RMIT are apple mac based computers, and lecturer needs us to get a mac for ourselves to do our work at home, ok... if cannot he said share one... But the worst thing is that he does not let us use pendrive for our work, he wants us all to get an ipod, at least an ipod shuffle, because he said that he does not want any damages caused to all the computers here, since something like that happened before... and there's like so many text books he want us to get, and also ..... we need an extra large inch monitor, because he said that designs need large screens, so that it's easier to see and easier to design... i really don't get it... but i heard from others that it's actually better...

Graphic Design is one of the most expensive course among all courses....

There's nothing left here anymore...

I'll blog later if i have the chance...

Cheers,
Bryan

Never been so Wide Awake ....

I'm sorry to blog something that happeend yesterday... Anyway i'm going to blog it as if it's yesterday...

Today, Eric and Maylee are bringing me to the Melbourne Motor Show International.... at 10.45 i waited for them at Seven Eleven.... they arrived at 10.55... after that we went for a late breakfast at Queen Victoria's Market.... met up with Eric and Maylee's housemate and also 2 of their friends... After our breakfast... we head straight down for the exhibition by trams...



We have to pay to go in... luckily i have my student card..... 4 bucks off.... so it is 14 bucks for my entry ( once ) ... outside the exhibition, there are lots of antique cars.... those old old ones we normally see in old movies... haha.. pretty nice... the que was long and there are 3 counters... but we managed to get our ticket and we walked in the exhibition hall.... once you're in there.... it's just CARS EVERYWHERE..... and PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.... I never expect it to be like so large.... compared to the ones in Malaysia, you'll just see crap cars ....

When we first walked in , the first car we saw.. it's a Bugati Veyron :



pEOPLe are all over the car... it's so difficult to get a picture... i was lucky i managed to knock the kids away... HAHA....
and guess what that is more unexpected....... a proton booth... =.= yea.. as in the Malaysian Proton cars >.< , not even 1 person care to open the car and go in and have a sit coz it just looks so lousy ... :D but i was surprised to see a proton, makes me feel like home .. hehe....



there are SO many cars i cannot show you all, from Peugeot, to Volkswagen, Land Rover, Mitsubishi... too many.... i'll just show you the famous few.... hehe ....





Lining up for free Volkswagen ice Cream... HEHE.... delicious... :



how did the cow changed into a car? well Lembu Kini, lol... you'll get it :



But from all cars i've seen here i like this one very much , a Toyota FT-HS, it's so Cool.... wish i have this one :



After all those walking.... we're tired and exhausted.... for me i am very tired and my legs are swollen because the day before today... i went out with Andrew the whole day walking as well..... so got a little cramp, but i force myself to walk because i don't wanna slow others down... and i am still young.. i cherish my legs well, i walk while i can.... and i do not want to end up in a wheel chair... so the more i use my legs, i'll get healthier in a way... hehe.... Do you realize why i went out ?

I am not interested in cars.... maybe a little if the design is unique and all.... but to tell you the truth, remove all the words from all cars in that exhibition, and i only know the model name of Proton persona, and Gen-2.. :D but i feel this experience is really interesting, and i do want to go out even if i'm not interested in cars, because staying in my room all the time will only make me more homesick and bored, so why not get some fresh air and walk a little ? hmm.... So after we went out from the exhibition all, Eric and May Lee's friends parted ways and we went to Franklin Street's AVIS car rental shop to rent a car because Eric and May Lee needs it for tomorrow.... we got a car and we went to Big W.... they need to get a Heater and so do i but we can't find any.... and after walking around , off we go to Richmond !! a place where the Asian dock themselves... hehe.... alot of Vietnamese restaurants..... Eric and May Lee wants to buy alot of things since they have the car for a day... hehe.. so we went to an Asian Grocery mart, i got myself some jellies, Sultana Biscuits and an Umbrella... and waited for them outisde the mart... when they come out we went straight to their house to rest for a while...

MayLee made me a delicious cup of coffee.... and i watched TV while waiting for May Lee's brother and girl friend to come over and we'll be heading out again for dinner.... they came around 7.15pm and we went out at 7.45pm to a special Italian restaurant which is very packed because the food's great and cheap in a way...

We ordered fried Squid, a seafood pasta , a pizza and a plate of potatoes with pasta sauce or something like that.... the food is good indeed.... but the portion was H.U.G.E..... one small pasta can be shared with 3 people...=.= for 9 bucks... hehe... After that we had dessert, a lemon cake, and then chit chatted till 10 something and it's time for me to head back.... Eric drove me back... and made sure i entered my apartment safely... =.= and they say my street is pretty quiet and dangerous at night... I went in my room, and on my MSN as usual.... i can't '' cannot online '' in a day.. i must at least surf the internet or chat with friends.. it's like my daily routine... like a '' something u must do in a day '' thing... hehe..

I onlined till 1.45am.... never been so wide awake...

And slept till now...... 9am... woke up.... and onlining again..... waiting for Edwin to come over... hope to see him soon..

Cheers all !! Love you lots..

Bryan
