YAY! At long last I have my precious acoustic guitar! My 3rd ever guitar and my first ever acoustic!~

I received the knock on the door came around 11:10am today ^^ the Startrack Express guy delivered the box and yay <3! I took it into my study and hugged it <3 I couldn't believe it had come at last! ^^

Huge thanks to space for organising all this, it's super super appreciated! <3!

The model is FL2AC by Cole Clark, an Australian company, made in Melbourne, where I live. Some notable Cole Clark artists include Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Snow Patrol etc.

It sounds wonderful, looks incredible and we'll make lots of wonderful music together ^^!

BEHOLD!

Well what a wonderful evening! We entered the venue (H building at Caulfield) around 6:30 or so and stood around sipping champagne for a short while before making our way to our table, which was conveniently, number 10! However the ACTUAL number 10 were on table 9 XD!

Everyone was looking stunning in their suits and dresses, we were a very nicely dressed committee! ^^ and so the proceedings got under way with some montages of what clubs have been doing throughout the year before the awards were presented. MCAC was nominated for the best development and marketing awards. When Nickyy began reading out that the winners had organised a treasure hunt, gained sponsorship from Bubblecup and Ozanimart we all gave a big cheer and current president and former president Lisa and Darius went up to collect the award! Yay go team! Everyone worked really well and we signed up lots of members so it was fantastic to have won the award!

Table 10 was kept entertained by taking photos of 10! XD Evan loved his "scandalous" pictures XD! However the 10 fun was short lived as Shay had too much to drink and had to leave early....so very early in the night!!! The food was either a choice of potato salad, pasta salad, cous cous, garden salad, with beef burgundy some vegetarian thingy, rice and some chicken mushroomy thingy XD. Was alright ^^. Was another interesting experience for me actually drinking for the first time, properly, not sampling. 1 glass of champagne and a quarter glass of red wine, all cheap stuff Evan says haha.

More awards were given out, we ate our chocolate brownies with strawberry sauce, took some more photos and some more with the precious trophy and made our way home ^^!

Friday was MCAC's AGM! Congrats to Lisa, our new president and Evan our new vice president, and to everyone else, who are too numerous to all name ^^. I acquired a position on the committee as one of 3 event organisers along with Kevin and Elton! I can't wait to get started and plan more events and have more meetings and everything!

Saturday was MCAC's bowling day! A few of us were on time as you're supposed to be but most people were 15-30 mins late. Once everyone arrived we got underway!

10.......just lots of 10........XD! It was 10 pin bowling afterall mwahahaha! 10 is an in joke which is rather personal so if you're not on my MCAC network I'll be unable to share exactly what it is XD but involves two people <3333 XD.



Was lots of fun, as bowling is ^^! After bowling we headed to the food court for lunch , I pigged out on this big tray of nachos and chips, was delicious! After that we went to the Lindt cafe but there wasn't enough space for everyone so half stayed and the rest went home. I wanted to join Linc and her Hetalia peoples for karaoke in the city but I was at Chaddy too late so I wouldn't be able to make it in time. Next time perhaps ^^.

Ahhh! Right now I'm eating french toast of sorts, the egg is cooked on the outside and gooey right in the middle, on toast! AHHHH it's exquisite <3333333333333333

Wow, it certainly was a crazy weekend! This will be long and detailed for my journal keeping purposes and to preserve the lovely memories! ^^

Had the MCAC (Monash Caulfield Anime Club) Social Night tonight. It was lots of fun and all our social games worked well! ^^

I had a busy day leading up to that. I went to Malvern to buy a pair of new black leather shoes since my old pair was probably from 4 years ago from high school. Those were the shoes that I ran around with, played basketball, kicked the hacky sack endlessly! The sole on the left shoe split down the middle and they were super worn.

My new pair are the same type, but just a different cut and I loves them! So new and shiny and lovely looking! They're squarer rather than round like my previous ones ^^. I need them for general usage and also for my Reborn cosplaying!

Next I went to Chaddy (Chadstone Shopping Centre) to buy an inflatable kangaroo for my Sasagawa Ryohei cosplay. I dropped by the Australian Geographic which stocks them and grabbed one. I dropped by to say hi to my old high school buddy, Monica, who works at the Woolworths supermarket there before heading back to Caulfield to start preparing for the Social Night.

I cosplayed Reborn, I'll link some photos soon and Lisa cosplayed Tamaki from Ouran and looked really awesome XD with the blonde wig. The highlights of the night were the anime quizzes where groups were given questions on the anime they knew the best, Caramelldansen-ing with Lisa and Evan (there'll be a video XD) and celebrity heads which was great ^^.

I'm most pleased with my social life this year. I'm very thankful to MCAC since I've made lots of wonderful friends through it and I get to see them usually at least once a week which is once more than I saw any friends last year for the most part ^^.

Hmm, well certainly one of the most interesting incidents to have happened to me, especially something of this nature, it has never happened before and hmm, perhaps it never will again XD but it was quite amusing.

I was on the shuttlebus on the way home from Monash Clayton to Monash Caulfield, sitting in the front of the bus facing backwards where you have those 2 rows facing each other. It was half way through the bus ride when the girl sitting opposite to the right side tapped me on the leg and asked if I was Chinese in Chinese and I think I said yes in Chinese. Then in Chinese she said "I think your eyes are very beautiful" so I was quite D= and just shocked to hear something like that. I said I was learning Chinese in uni and that I was born here (in Chinese), then I asked if she was an international student, and she said she was studying a masters in international business. After that nothing much really happened, I was just looking out the window trying not to smile or laugh since it was quite flattering and that it was just funny that something like that happened to me and that this stranger would say something like that.

When we got off the bus she told me her name and I told her mine and we shook hands. She said if I needed help with Chinese she could help me since she had lots of experience teaching Chinese and Korean as well. In English this time she said again "I like your eyes", and so we parted ways, never to meet again! D= well perhaps. Friends were saying I should have gotten her number and if not that then her MSN. I'd be more for the MSN XD but perhaps next time if there is a next time ^^.

( I HAS MEME! )

Well, today was quite fun ^^ I went to my psychology lectures from 2-4, super boring about scientific method and all that stuff we already know.

After the lecture I bought a caramel slice which was super rich and creamy and sugary from the Den but I shall try not to buy those things XD they're not that tasty and they're so full of sugar! I stood in the rain with my umbrella for about 15 mins till 4:15 to catch the bus. I sure was glad to get on and get a seat XD.

Met up with akinofujiko , Lisa, Jo and Tomson at Caulfield. Lisa, Jo, Tomson and myself went to pick up Jo's sister then had dinner at this Korean place called Kangnaroo or something >< I forget, but yes haha, there was this funny old lady there who knows Jo. When Lisa and Tomson's dishes came she stirred them both. So when my bowl of dolsot bibim bap came I quickly stirred it myself just so she wouldn't be able to do it. I didn't want her to do it since she'd probably mix in the whole damn small dish of chili sauce X3.

Once we got back to Caulfield I went to the bathroom to grab heaps of toilet paper to dry my wet gel bike seat which was exposed to the elements, mostly the water element, all fricken day and was soaked XD! So I had to squeeze it out before towelling it down with my toilet paper XD. It was dry enough on top but I realised the sides could have done with a bit more of a wiping down since I didn't know until then that indeed my posterior did come into contact with the sides and it was wet I tell you!

I started raining heavier as I was half way down Finch street and I got absolutely soaked, especially down the big hill. There's this big hill which you go down super fast on and now I know how a car windscreen feels. It gets pelted with rain, smashed into your face and you can't see anything, so I had to wipe my face every hmm, 15m or so? XD. It was quite exciting but I really got soaked, especially my legs.

Depending on who you are determines how "I" these people are but pretty much Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and Suri came through the zoo today. They came in the back gate so I didn't see them at all as I was on the front gate. That was around 2:30 they came through. I was warned by my boss that we may get paparazzi but unfortunately none came so I didn't get to tackle anyone but I'm not allowed to lay a finger on anyone. I have to call this other guy who's in charge of that XD.

About 3:30 I got a radio call from my boss to give him a call on his mobile. So I called his mobile and he said that Katie Holmes would like a stroller/pusher so I had to get this other guy to do that and bring it down to them at the round about. So I didn't get to see them or anything like that, I just had to take over the ticketbox while he did the delivery.

So thanks to Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Suri I ended up having to stay an hour and a half longer than I normally would.

Yesterday/today was fun, so much singing D= I haven't sang more than this in one day in my whole life, so I certainly set a record. Myself, Chun, Jee Wee and Andy went to Alex's house for "band practise" but it wasn't really practise as such.

We worked on this song I wrote called Land of Fulfilled Destiny and managed to record an instrumental version in the 4 hours or so that we worked on it, with lots of other breaks in between of course! I can't wait to do some serious work on it, it'll be great to have a complete song recorded. I need to work on my singing badly!

Second half of the day was karaoke from 7pm to 2am. It was quite devastating I must say, throat feels sore suffice to say. I sang lots of Linkin Park and lots of other high songs with long high notes which I could barely reach by screaming them out. My voice just gave in and broke a lot in the end. It was the second day in a row of going to karaoke and for 7 hours too. So I can say I don't need to go to karaoke for another 4 months at least. I seriously sang half the songs in the book! Was lots of fun though, we finished up around 2 and walked to Swanston street to find a taxi who took us to near Caulfield Monash where Jee Wee drove everyone one (me first though).

I've never been out this late before and I've never sang so much so I set two new records in one night.

Was fun! In 9 hours I'll be meeting up with Linc and then Lisa to go op shopping D=! Need sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

Twas a long long day and it'll be another long day tomorrow!

( OOH PICS LOOK LOOK! )

Before my 70 something year old aunt went to Asia she said she'd give me her Sony Ericsson that she got from my uncle, k610i. She's 70 something and has no idea with technology and she only uses her phone in emergencies which is never so it's never switched on ><!

She said she couldn't get used to it so she said she could give it to me once she got back but now that she's back she said she got used to it and ugh ><. So now I don't get a new phone -_- it's going to waste in her hands but oh well. The needy never get what they need! So I'll stick with my old reliable junky old Samsung ><!

WAAAAAASTE! NOT HAPPY u.u I'll just have to buy a proper new phone I guess when the time comes to get one but with my contract it doesn't involve any phones so I'll just have to buy one outright.

GAH! Damn it, I hate when you get calls from charities trying to guilt trip you into donating TT. You listen to their spiel for 1 minute and then say sorry I can't help you. I'll donate when I feel like it ><.  I do donate to charity but gah TT hate those calls, I understand they have to do it but I just don't like how they must guilt trip people.

Well today was a long day but lots of fun ^^.

I didn't get much sleep last night since I had to do some last minute editing of the pop songs for the K-Night/Don't forget the lyrics. For those who aren't akinofujiko the K-Night/Don't forget the lyrics was the Monash Caulfield Anime Club's event where we had karaoke and don't forget the lyrics where you have to give the next line in a song as part of a competition featuring different genres and targets and prizes etc. I cosplayed Yamamoto Takeshi but didn't quite look like him since my hair is a bit short at the moment and I didn't have anything to make him look obviously like him since it's just a suit with white shirt and black tie.

It was quite successful overall with most contestants beating the 6th round which gave them the medium level prize with one contestant winning the major prize. Lots of people struggled and there were 3 life lines, ask the audience, hangman and ask the creator. For a few contestants who weren't familiar with the songs or just weren't very good in general, there were lots of hints dropped as well as freebie words to help get them over the line.

After the event a group of us went to this Korean restaurant just down the road in the next suburb across. I ate bibimbap which I just found means mixed rice since it just has mixed meat and vegetables and egg in a stone bowl. You just mix it up and it was quite delicious ^^.

After dinner we went to Princes which was just up the road, which is a pool hall type place with arcade games etc. There was this one game where you spot the difference in photographs which Lisa and akinofujiko particularly enjoyed which everyone else did too. I helped out on a few pictures but most of the time everyone else saw all the differences. The first pool game we played was me and akinofujiko vs Lisa and Jo. We were neck and neck the whole way through and it finally came down to the 8 ball, which I had an opportunity to sink and thankfully I sank it and we won the game yay! There was a video jukebox machine which played music on the tv screens and over the speakers very loudly and someone put a few Michael Jackson songs on, one of which was Don't Stop Till you Get Enough so I had fun boogie-ing to that XD. Someone later put on Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice and you could hear half the room groan which was hilarious XD. After one more game everyone headed home.

Lisa, Tomson and myself were in one car heading towards the city when Lisa realised she left a bag with her cosplay costume in it. Then in a short but very exciting and terrifying sequence, Tomson floored it in second gear to catch up with Jo who was further down the road (but we were still in this small road running next to the main road) and I remember me and Lisa making the typical WHOAAAA! noises as you do when you are catapaulted to 80km/ph in 3 seconds or however long it took:lmao. We caught up and they realised and stopped, allowing Lisa to get her cosplay bag. I was dropped off at Caulfield again where I found my bike was not stolen and in perfect condition and I cycled home.

All in all a very fun day ^^

I got on the train and was on my way home from work when I saw there was this guy standing at the end of the carriage and talking to the police and was saying there was this lady in front of him who had followed him and was threatening to stab him and kill him. He was pretty brave and collected considering what was happening. I always thinking about these situations and what I'd do if I saw someone in danger. I always think I'd do something and help if something was happening but it wasn't really happening but mmm >< I felt kinda useless since I really wasn't sure what to do.

I was thinking whether I should do anything but nothing was really happening and the lady didn't have any knife in her hand and the guy seemed to have things under control. She was just standing there nothing really doing anything. She got off a few stops later and had a few words which I couldn't really make out but she was swearing and all. I think she clearly had a mental illness and wasn't mentally stable. The police then called the guy back and asked him to go to one of the police stations located at a train station.

I thought something serious was going to happen but thankfully nothing happened but it is scary that these things can happen and you'd never figure it would.

Hey everyone

This post doesn't really have a point but I'll just tell you all what I'm up to. It's a lazy day at the zoo as it has been lately due to the poor weather but that's ok with me since I get to work still but the shifts are shorter ^^! I'm on the ticket box at the moment with Monica who's really cool and fun to work with. She started at 9:30am and I started at 10am and I was meant to stay till 2pm but she wants more hours and I'm happy to leave early so we swapped and she'll stay till then and I'll finish at 1 for my minimum of 3 hours.

I love using the net at work! It feels so much more exciting since you're not supposed to but you still can and it's yay!! ^^ forbidden, oh I'm bad....D=

I need to make some more icons or find some from Kuro posts X3 I've got the same old boring ones!
