"Well I think you just have to make the most of life. By doing what you like, it becomes more simple and just beautiful."
Someone said that to me today. I think he's right.
Good luck for uni everyone! x

Just watched 500 Days Of Summer! (again). Cutest movie ever.
It's funny how they talk about coincidences. I'm not sure whether I'm one for them. Some days I really endorse the notion of chance meetings but on other days I am guilty of ascribing cosmological significance to seemingly minute events.. so who knows.
Anyways, I've been well lately! Finally got a job and have been trying to hermit a little at home. I've finished reading Superfreakonomics and am now currently indulging in Boganomics - The Science of Things Bogans Like. I believe it will assist my assimilation into the wider community.
Nah but in all seriousness, they're both really great :)
What else? I went to Jamie Oliver's Italian a few days ago down at Pitt Street. It's quite a nice place, with handmade pasta and all that. After that I trekked all the way to Adriano Zumbo's Patisserie at The Star for some exotic-flavoured macarons and cakes. I'll upload the photos later but it was quite worth the trek :)
On the other hand, I also watched Chronicle yesterday. EURGHHHHHHH A GAG-INDUCING WASTE OF $15. But hey, it's the company that counts right? 2 more weeks of freedom left so I might as well just enjoy everything.
ADIOS AMIGOS :)

Ever since I lost my goggles, I've been swimming goggle-less like a true warrior. The only downside is that after a few hours, my eyes turn bloodshot like I've been eshing in dark alleyways and my view becomes all cloudy in a striking resemblance to impressionist paintings. Yes,
Monet 24/7.
It's raining outside!
In other news; I'm 19 soon! This rapid progression towards senility is rather traumatizing indeed. Pretty soon I'll be knitting scarves on my front porch with a gazillion grumpy old cats. Until that day, I shall be rejoicing in my vibrant youth and glorious independence. Goodnight all x

Took a train from Platform 7 3/4 and paid this little fellow a visit today.
Upon arrival, I was confronted with a Mt. Everest stack of paperwork. Should the Ministry of Magic pay your fees? Are you taking POTIONS 1021 or DEF. AGAINST THE DARK ARTS 2054? Interested in joining the Quiddich team? All those colourful pages smirked at me as I struggled to find a place to start.
However that was only the beginning..
The sorting process was about to start, and as I stepped into the Great Hall, all I could see was a sea of amateur wizards with an occasional gypsy smuggled in between. At the end of the hall, I glimpsed the almighty sorting hat that was coughing and spluttering in its senile state. I took my place at the end of a seemingly endless line and hoped for the best.
And so I waited .. and waited ..
..
..
And waited ..
..
You may listen to this song while we wait..
..
And waited ..
..
SPOT THE GYPSY!!!!!!!!!!!!
..
And waited ..
- 3.5 hours later -
"HARRY PLEASE STEP FORWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Finally, I thought to myself.
Hat: hmm.. yer a wizard Harry!
Me: I'm a ............WHAT?!
Hat: yer a wizard Harry!!
Me: I'm a ........................... WHAT?!
Amid this state of profound confusion and as driven by my passionate desire to live a muggleborn life, I bolted for the door and ran like crazy maniac. FREEDOM AT LAST!!! I've never been so grateful to escape from that dungeon of hell.
THE END.

Went to Rafael Lozano-Hemmer's Recorders Exhibition at the MCA today. It involves a series of interactive installations as social commentary on technology/surveillance/invasion of privacy, which was really interesting. I'd definitely recommend it! See here for more details http://mcarecorders.com.au/ (IT'S FREE BTW)
Pulse Room - Lightbulbs that flash according to your pulse. When you leave, the next lightbulb along the line inherits your pulse and initial lightbulb takes on the pulse of the next person.
People on People.
For lunch I had some super-chilli Malaysian curry at Mamak and I was full trash-talking people with massive moles (Austin Powers Gold Member, anyone?)
..until I turned around and saw this chick behind me with a massive mole. Uh-oh..
Kinda just roamed around afterwards. Suddenly remembered that Ben and Jerry's opened today in Chatswood and were offering free icecream so in a stroke of spontaneity decided to exploit this bargain. When we arrived there was this MASSIVE queue of Asians, with some devouring their ice cream while lining up for another one. Apparently some people went back 9-10 times LOL. The epitome of being Asian. The icecream itself was really nice though! Definitely worth trying :)
In other news, WTF HEWITT WON FKKKKKKKKK :(. Not cool.
