some of my favourite documentaries are about woman in the media
so this looks pretty interesting:





donna.
i'm so fortunate that i have legitimate outlets for when i feel the need to get away from it all~
spent an hour or so with albus, just strolling along the paths surrounding the house

experimenting with different photo-processing actions that i spent the afternoon creating xD











(playing words with friends)

yesterday, there was a pseudo housewarming party for level 14
hosted by the school that we're sharing the level with - the BEES
everyone on the level got an invite, but out of all the psyc students only me and joe ended up going
and looooooool at the small amounts of bitching about the psyc school that went on
yeah, politics politics politics...

beer levels at around...5pm?


networking is hard.

especially when my face turns red after half a beer
not. cool.

and it's kind of rad how the kitchen has strobe lighting that changes colour according to the bass levels
man, at one point the white light was flashing and i was feeling epileptic
completely not what i envisioned a phD lifestyle to be like
half of me is like, this is cool. the other half wishes everyone were just a nerdy bookworm.

nothing much happened today.
went to a colloquim and got free sushi and juice.
living the high life right there.

i'm fluctuate between getting ridiculously bored and excited.

i think i'm going to try and renovate over the easter weekend...

also, me and janice wore matching outfits today.




donna.
this is why i love my ex-workmates:



donna.
a whole week without an entry, a whole week!
so nothing much happened earlier in the week...i think.
since i don't remember anything. (lol)

on thursday, march 17th 6:30pm
i graduated.
shared the day with many many more friends than i could have hoped.
makes me feel so blessed and fortunate.
was also showered with more gifts than i could have dreamed of
such a spoilt little child.

this is as close to a solo shot as i got xD
 
 lab 201 peeps <3



during the ceremony, my dad fell asleep :P

then afterwards, we met up with cherry's family at wagaya
so many jokes and jabs at us (even though we were paying =.=)
i think cherry almost died of a heart attack and i really need to pull my mum aside and tell her what a secret means...

wayne got double-sushi-rouletted. 
so so so funny! 

then the next day it was cherry's turn to graduate
i had class from 1 - 4pm so i missed twin, but had fun being photographer even though i'm not particularly happy with the photos :(

cherry and her fun church peeps

after we separated, i was walking downt the main walkway and bumped into cherry again, lol
she took a pictures of me snoozing in front of mechengg

seriously, still can't get over how pretty the flowers elayne got for me are

also made paper flowers for janice, jess and jenny. and fabric flowers for cherry. 

then yesterday, drove out to city to yum cha with elayne and charity <3
(my shout again -.-)

we waited a whole hour for this dish *shakes my head

went to meetfresh with charity after elayne left, and bumped into eric and johnson and the whole bunch of church people
then was going to take charity with me to the 201 gathering but she got a headache so dropped her off at eastwood station instead :(
got to janice's house at around 6:30pm and it was raining dog poo. 
  
got fed delicious pizza, even though the base was quite...hard. 
hahah the toppings were deliciouso though. 


highlights from last night

stupid kevin got me onto words with friends. (lol almost said words with benefits)
i was like...what is ajap?

we played a few board games
never wrestle with jess because she'll make you fly
mel does a mean avril lavigne impression 
me and anoushka can't spell backwards
people can't read messages sent from my eyes

had so much fun with fellow 201ers. 
as always <3


this has been a pretty literal entry. 
people keep asking me about how i feel about being a graduate. 
shrug.
might introspect when i can be bothered...



donna.
wow, has it really been half a month since my last proper entry?
things have been quite hectic since uni started up again.
suffering from a bit of inertia getting into phD mode.
been constantly on edge. a horrible horrible feeling.
need to find a way to curb it.

and you know what's worse?
i'm so insignificant relative to the world's problems.
this year's natural disasters have just been insane. one after another.
you would think that they would put life into a bit more perspective.
especially since this year's events have hit a bit closer to home than past years.
i don't even know what i'm supposed to feel.


thankfully, not all things are bad.
i realise small things still bring my joy. like hand-sewing the bow i removed from my coat jacket and making it into a hair accessory.
hopefully, i'll be able to channel my angst into some creativity.
something that's been relatively lacking in my life recently.
i've also been really getting into interior design blogs as of late.
makes me want to renovate my room entirely.




donna.
sitting at my phD desk after lunch
listening to john mayer
and thinking about jenny lam...
