Hurrah for Holidays

16 days of "holidays". Took 4 of them, and they were certainly 4 well-spent days.

At almost all points in time, it was at least one of: relaxing/peaceful/fun/funny/beautiful/interesting/inspiring.

Thanks to Mr Ritchie, Huai huai, 伦仔, Lin lin, and Zi zi for help making it fantastic.

Red blood cells are calling.

There's some people I wouldn't mind calling every morning. Those that generally make the grey skies shine. But, can't do that. It's not a socially accepted practice (not feeling like going into why abiding to general social trends is important), plus, it can become quite a hassle for the phone call recipient.

Called someone this morning. One minute conversation. Made me laugh. Started the morning off for me with a smile. =)

Yay, Geelong today.

Apparently it's holidays. Hmm.

If it was holidays, why am I still going to uni? Oh yes, that's right, because red blood cells and membrane bio-reactors are calling my name. HIIIII THERE MR LUMIFUGE AND MS MBR!

Fourth year, final semester - yes, we have officially gone insane. Most grateful thing is that... I have pretty fantastically awesome groups. Hm, yes, even Nina. I doubt she reads this, but in case she does... HIIIIII NINA I KNOW YOU MISS ME =D

There is some holiday cheer going on though. Tennis was funky business. Beachtime too. Some other cool things happening this week too.

I've unofficially declared this week my holiday week. Next week, hardcore Red Cross, hardcore pump design. Ideal situation: 2 minor equipments a day. Realistic situation: Geelongness, Toorongoing, Grampy-ampians. Hm... for once real wins ideal.

Yay, holiday.

A 'lil bit of bad... is good for you.

Too much good... is bad for you.

A little rebellion, a few mistakes, a hiccup here and there.... won't cause the world to come tumbling done. Although, an hour of fun vs. a week of beating oneself up and banging one's head against wall as an attempt to punish the utter stupidity? Hmmmm.

Perfect people scare me. A bit too ... unhuman.

On a slightly different note, I was told today that I have corrupted a lot of people. I take that as a compliment =D

Sighs...

Need to learn to stop dwelling on ridiculous situations. Stop beating oneself up about it. Blame the system, blame the world. Although, supposed to be trying to stop generalizing the ridiculousness of a specific situation to the world...... sigh sigh sighs....

Distracting thoughts.. distracting thoughts. Okok. Learnt some pretty cool stuff about RAW files today. Never knew all that. I must be even geekier than I appear, with how excited I get about it. I get intimidated by very smart people. Start to stutter and not make sense.

Ridiculousness of the situation. Ridiculousness of the system.

Thankfully I don't know who it is to blame. Otherwise, punch slap WHACK BANG. Even though it's not their fault.

Sighs.

Spring has brought about almost two whole weeks of consistently sunny days and ambient temperatures. Yay.

It's funny how we always want the impossible. It's not like there aren't other things available, other things possible. In fact, there's millions of options, options that are wise and logical. Some options are even... hm.. what's the word.. attractive. An attractive option, right there, thrown in the face, all ready, all yours, if you want it. But... don't know about you, but I seem to often want to go for the option that isn't an option at all.

Monologue: Stop this ridiculousness, no one thinks this is a good option. Not one person. Hence, forget about the foolish non-option, and embrace the many available, attractive, wise options

Righty. Good, Dandy. Say that enough times and perhaps one day I will actually believe it.

Looking forward to the holiday when I can actually afford to spend some time outdoors to enjoy the sunshine and warm temperatures.

Take A Bow - Rihanna.

How about a round of applause
Standing ovation

Don't tell me you're sorry cause you're not
And baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show, you really had me going
But now it's time to go, curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show, very entertaining
But it's over now, go on and take a bow

Grab your clothes and get gone
You better hurry up before the sprinklers come on
Talkin' about, girl, I love you, you're the one
This just looks like a re-run
Please, what else is on

And don't tell me you're sorry cause you're not
And baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show, you really had me going
But now it's time to go, curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show, very entertaining
But it's over now, go on and take a bow

And the award for, the best lie goes to you
For making me believe that you could be faithful to me
Let's hear your speech

How about a round of applause
Standing ovation

But you put on quite a show, really had me going
But now it's time to go, curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show, very entertaining
But it's over now... go on and take a bow...

But it's over now...

A conversation I had below. A direct result of too many red blood cells, too much membrane bioreactors... makes us all go a bit crazy. Note that the initial part of the conversation has been censored due to privacy protection purposes.

I want a black labrador.

I saw the first part of sunset today. It was a pretty sunset.

Talk.about.arrogance.

Not even going to bother with such ridiculousness.

Humility attracts me.

September 1, '08

I'm wanting a reason to smile, a reason that I believe in, a reason that matters. This reason does not seem to exist. Either that, or it's pretty talented at hiding.

Spring - various conntations, predominantly positive, many would argue... new life, new beginnings, youth, opportunies for love, etc.

September 1, apparently the first day of spring.

I reckon it's still the beginning of winter.
