angels and demons.

halloween in melbourne was once again just like other clubbing nights.
but in conjunction of the annual halloween tradition,
people seized this opportunity to dress up "magnificently" or somewhat freakishly.
was it because it's halloween?
was it because it's fun?
was it because it's a must to dress up to VII?

it was just for attention purposes.

what's ironic is that many defeated the real purpose of halloween.
as far as we know,
we are supposed to wear halloween costumes on such day.
as far as i'm concerned.
halloween costumes are traditionally those of monsters like ghosts, devils and all.
as far as i believe,
those scary costumes are to scare off demons. (apparently)

but
as time goes by,
as period changes,
as people tranform,
the real meaning of halloween has depleted to the extent that
angels, cute animals, tiny insects and all types of costumes have gradually j
oin into the halloween category one by one. since the 20th century or was it 19th or 18th?
whatsoever. creative and imagine much? sigh.
p.s i saw a mosquitoe bumbleBEE walking around VII with a pair of yellow wings.

well, without a doubt,
im a chicken myself. im super scared a little scared of ghost.
that's my biggest fear! emily rose! demons! 3am! ohmygosh!
hence, due to my own pathetically sad fear,
i did not/would not/will not dress up anything close to the definition of : scary.

when drea asked what i was dressing up as?
for some unforeseen circumstances, mickey MOUSE just popped out from my mind.
and i'm the type of person who just set my mind straight.
i did not want to stress or think about what to wear or whatsoever.
so MOUSE was it.

but the saddest part was,
i was the lamest mouse in VII.

officially. the LAMEST.



sigh.

emmelyn the lame mouse.
drea the angelic angel.
charley the naughty nurse.

i think i was the only MOUSE in the HOUSE. ew.
not to mention,
with the biggest ears,
with the biggest bow tie,
LOL.


halloween night - speechless.

patriotism? i doubt.

31st. August. 2009.
One of the most auspicious day in Malaysia.
basically, its our annual national day
also recognisably known as Hari Merdeka.
Without a doubt, the Melbourne/Malaysian peeps would definitely
seize the opportunity to organise all sorts of "Merdeka Eve" event.
(just for the sake of publicity, financial gains, drinking and PARTYY again)

One of the biggest event that was held in Melbourne was the one located at CQ.
Albeit it was a sunday night and everyone had lectures on monday.
everyone of anyone from anywhere still attended that event!
(not just malaysians, others from other countries invaded that event as well.)

frankly speaking, it was just like another clubbing night.
but the best part was that we got to sing "Negaraku".  twice.
Malaysia's time and Melbourne's time. yay.
it's been awhile since i last sang THE - Negaraku.
singing THE song almost got me to tears. sigh. memories.
(remember we had to sing THE song every monday since kindergarten?)
from a weekly basis, we deteriorated to a yearly basis.
how pathetically sad is that? singing THE song annually.

The event ended when we decided to leave.
I remembered heading home and continued with my assignment.
Writing a oh-so-bloody-long review on an Art Gallery.
It was a piece of cake. I managed to finish it anyways.

6330_154889390195_560200195_3943057_2588049_n
ME. Vivian. Drea.
how sweet of these two girls to show their patriotic spirit by dressing up in red?

 

6330_154889395195_560200195_3943058_6401603_n
Us. Malaysians.

 

6330_154889625195_560200195_3943087_8192898_n
Just dance? say Cheese!

6330_154889770195_560200195_3943110_238541_n
Me. Drea. June.

 

6330_154889800195_560200195_3943115_5527920_n
ahh.

______________________________________________________________________________

 

On the other hand,
uni is alright.
im doing OKAY.
results are OKAY.
Classes are OKAY.
this is what I wanted right? no? yes.


I wish i have more time.
so i don't have to face those sleepless nights.
sleeping at 7 in the morning is really exhausting.
Definition of Fatigue - Art and Design.
Definition of Lethagic - Architecture.
Definition of Slacking - ME. (i hope not. im trying not to be)

This course is really intensive.
cause they are trying to drill us mentally, physically and emotionally.
teaching us everything they can so we'll be prepared for First Year architecture.
it is to the extent that my DAD is amazed. himself.
only he thinks this course is good.
He just does not understand the fact that his poor daughter is practically dying.

sigh

anyways, more photos to be uploaded.
recent presentation - Design Communication (Group work)
we had to present a Tribal Research work and an A2 design board.
my group which consisted of Jessica Franto and Andrea Ng,
(Randomly placed together by our lecturer.)
decided to focus on America's Red Indians.

In order to push ourselves to the limit as well as impressing the others,
we decided to dress up according to our theme - Red Indians.
I guess we did fairly well on the A2 design board, research and presentation.

Vivian the Tibet-ian.
Andrea the Red Indian mummy.
ME the Red Indian daughter.

p.s Not that i wanted to be the daughter.
It was the hair tradition from the red indians.

Check out my Facepainting.
According to my research, the symbol is called the Zia.
It's also known as the Sun which symbolizes Four Directions.

 

5774_1202841385126_1051328532_668695_7561795_n
Okay. I cracked a joke during my presentation unintentionally;
hence, the ridiculously wide smile on my face.

 

5774_1202843265173_1051328532_668738_6217659_n
aww.

_____________________________________________________________________________

 

As you all know, (not that i told everyone personally)
ive shifted into my new apartment.
Yes! finally. i hated my old apartment due to some personal reasons.

my dad bought me an apartment which is located near my classes.
my classes are scattered around the city depending on the subjects and buildings.
but most of em' are located near my apartment. yay!

he didnt buy for me because i asked him.
we decided it was for the best. financially and productively.
cause architecture course is approximately 5 - 6 years. 
WITHOUT paying rent, would inevitably reduce my cost of living here.
cheers!

THANK YOU to those who helped me moved into my new place.
THANK YOU to those who helped me decorated my place as well.
you know who you are! especially the ones who drove!

Love me. Hate me.

People think they know me.
They judge me from the outside.
without taking my feelings and emotions into serious consideration.
(like wth? seriously)

People think they understand me.
Jumped into conclusion that I've change drastically in Melb.
just by looking at photos on facebook that has been posted up frequently.
(like wtf? shoot man)

not that there's anything i can do about it anyways.
It's a world with freedom of speech. but just so you know,
Melbourne did not change me. at all.
I am still the same old lame girl that you guys know.
cheers mate!

Facebook's photos are just one part of my melb's life.
There are so many other photos that I've been collecting
and was finding the right time to post em' up.

Life. Upside. Down

it has been ages since i last posted something productive in my blog. sigh.
my life in melbourne has been the most outrageous 
rollercoaster ride
as everything was so new and fresh to me in here.
i've experienced many things for the first time in here as well.
things that were memorable.
things that were exciting.
things that kept me thinking.
things that i regretted.
things that i learnt.
things that i appreciated.
things that i wished never happened. ever.

albeit i wished i could make things right again,
but i cant turn back the time.
what's done is done.
there is nothing i could do about it anymore.
waking up everyday. facing reality. real life. cold weather. melbourne.

Emmelyn Chua Pei Min. face it. bring it on. LIFE.


 


despite the fact that ive been facing lots of emotional and depressed problems,
but overall, things are not as bad as it seems.
i tripped. many times.
i fell. many times.

"learning to ignore things is one of the greatest paths to inner peace"

i learnt from there.
i learnt to ignore.
i learnt to hide my feelings.
i learnt to contemplate wisely.
i learnt to talk appropriately.

anyways, my classes are so far pretty productive.
i do enjoy my classes from semester 1 to 2.
as this has always been my dream (doing architecture)
nothing can stop me from doing this
*well, i did contemplate whether this was the right choice for me many many uncountable times. sigh*

many people have left this course. unfortunately.
approximately almost half my class' students left.
it was either they thought that this wasnt the right course for them.
or it was either they were asked to leave as they've been failing.
or it was either they had financial problems.
or it was either they had "visa" problems.
or what-so-ever-thousand-and-one-reasons.

my class is so pathetically sad now.
its way emptier compared to semester 1.
sigh. i guess it will be even more competitive as the good ones are left behind.
(not me. but the rest are exceptionally talented. good. creative. dedicated.)

once again. BRING IT ON. its all or nothing.







i wished winter break was longer.
two weeks of holidays were definitely not enough. for me.
i had so much to do. but so little time.
i didnt eat chicken rice.
i didnt eat lamian (siu long pao)
i didnt eat waffle
i didnt eat prawn mee
i didnt eat curry laksa
i didnt eat assam laksa
sigh. many more.

but i had a good holiday though.
shopping. sleeping. reading. rotting like a piece of cheese. (as ive planned)
everything was pretty relaxing.
i cant wait for the next holiday!! yayy. :)
