Sunday (literally)
Heaps of stuff happened today. Got up early to try and keep up with art assignments but kept getting sidetracked by breakfast, cleaning, cooking and the internet.
Was excited coz we had Outtadahouse for lg in the afternoon. We planned to play sport for once, but only if the weather was fine…unusually it has been bucketing, but praise God today was the first day of sunshine!!
Anyway had a power nap and got ready at 1245…was painting while waiting for Fung and Rosie to pick me up and was wondering where they were coz i had waited for 15 mins….looked at the clock—-> !! i got ready an hour early lol.
At the rite time, this time, arrived at the Sunnybank Parrk with 96.5fm frisbee, 96.5fm beach ball, hula hoop, and skipping rope. Haahaha was funny coz everyone from Powerhouse brought something and people were just chucking footballs, volleyballs, frisbees, etc everywhere. But thats partly wat made it fun ay.
Then, Mae had a super fun game install for us – team water bomb catching game, this involved ppl getting drenched in park water and catching (or lack thereof) skills. Oh yea, also Chris B scratched his toe on some bark and was whinging like a wuss ——-> jokes, Chris i know ur reading this and objecting… and trying to break ur computer screen lol.
When phs ppl lost all their energy, they retreated to the undercovered area with junk food and soft drinks. Noice.
Then Li, Rosie, Fung and I found an asian family to play basketball with, awesome slam dunking fun!! I can actually participate in basketball when against kids half my size haha.
All up a gr8 outtadahouse, next time its the art gallery (jokes alex).

96. hi5!
hey peeps,
yesterday was a bit of a rollercoaster…
After feeling a bit sad and down in the dumps i decided to take a nap. So i put on 96.5 radio station and heard another one of their compettion questions. – WHere is the Maritime Museum? Studying at the QCA and doing a WHOLE SEMESTER of that subject matter, me of all people should know this question.
And me, being the type who gets excited very eaasily at the prospect of becoming slightly famous or winning something, quickly checked out 96.5’s hotline, online.
So cordless phone in hand, phone no. practiced and Fergie’s ‘BIg Girls Don’t Cry’ on in the background, i punched in the 8- digit code as soon as that woman on radio could say the words “Are u ready to win….”
Oh my goodness…the phone is actuall y ringing (usually its engaged)……………….20 secs later (maybe 10 but it felt like half an hour), still ringing. “PLease God, let someone pick up, please God i feel really crap, this may make my day…”, i pleaded desperately.
To my heart-attacked suprise this dude answered, both my call and my prayers. “Hello, wats ur name, have u won a showbag before….ladi da da da. [Just ask me the million dollar question!!] im just recording now and ill put u through to the main person who presents the show.”
(Oh crap im on radio im o n radio, someone out there better be listening) Is it at Southbank?
…..yes!!!! uv won our craptacular showbag worth over 100 $.
WhhhhOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo!!““`~~~~~Go QCA!, i’d also like to say hi to Ablaze!!, my uth group.
\And yes that is the melodramatic story of my 12.3 secs of fame. Now i just have to pick up my showbag in Alice springs .
Heya!
Supposed to be engrossed in my semiotics ASSignment but this is much more important. Have to keep my readers happy.
Yes, today is monday. Ill have to use 78% of my brain to remember wat i did today so i wont. sorry.
BU
t so many other things to think of: who im goign to invite to church on friday, how im going to meet them, how i can persuade them to come (coz church rocks! and is the last wk of freedom month), how im going to write the first draft of this spupid assignment, when im going to make a pottery elephant for someones bday, what ph is going to do for outofdahouse this wkend…………….aaaaaaaaaargh. ok im done.

Hey readers of my blog,
Today was quite an interesting day (took me a while to think of that adjective:P). Thank-u to those of u who enquired about my health yesterday, and yes, I’m feeling much beta thnku.
The first and lol only lecture (because of shortage of ppl last semester) for 2D & 3D Visualisation was @ 10 this morning was intriguing…the introduced the topic with a film clip of 50 Cent’s – Candy Shop. :~~~ Was mostly about how the media can control the public through use of visual strategies…For eg, the lighting in ‘candy shop’ was well-lit for the 20 ‘chicks’ but shadowy for 50 cent. This implies that the women can be ‘consumed’ in one shot and are just pretty whereas 50 cent’s character has depth and character. …i dare u to think about those things when u watch video hits…and be a producer (one who sits on the couch with the remote in their hand switching when appropriate) not a consumer (one who accepts everything they see/hear/etc.)
ok…enuf learning uni stuff for one day…and bak to the important stuff 
.
Also got my marks bak from that not-so-sinchicle exam and was slightly dissapointed. Note to self: start revising early and stop going on msn.
Digressing… started learning print making which was fun, apart from the usual health and safety matters. Did monoprinting which is basically rolling ink onto a surface, marking it with something (like a feather, powder, a pencil) and putting through printing press. hehe i like this subject. i don’t mind the teacher, GLenn, who is a talented printartist.
Hmm, got painting tomorow yaay. I lke zemessy stuff.
Thanks for tuning in everybody (tumbleweed) and ill blog u l8er.

First (Mon)Day of Uni…
First day of uni today…
Just had to be sick. But probably for a reason. Like not getting the more virulent strand that everyone else is going to get later. hahah nah so mean.
But yes, it was great to see all my art buddies again and talk to ppls who are as crazy as me 
.
Today, learned a bit aboout semiotics, which inc ase u didnt know, the study of signs and symbols or somehthing like that. Oh, and have the best tutor – Paul Jolly, amusing, intelligent, good teacher. This time in tutes im actually going to learn something important aside from dissing artworks and chewing gum a la JEss Berry (sorry JEss).
After zat intro to subject fo rthis term which is Still Life: Objects and the Everyday, for those interested in knowing. Yay, from wat i remember, i dont think this requires a lot of thought – just everyday objects and dead things… The talk was quite interesting, observing an artists works, titled: Log, Fish jumping over Log, Bird on Log, Squirrel on Log and Axe on Log. I have a feeling that over the next couple of years at QCA i will have ato endure more of these tedious 3hr long lectures…..
(No, but seriously i love art school)
PSsss. If it seems like i am bagging everything out, u could be rite. My excuse is a bad cold and a long first-day-back-at-uni Monday. Ahhh Mondays, gotta love ‘em.
So true…
Have you ever been just sitting there and all of a sudden you feel like doing something nice for someone you care for? THAT’S GOD talking to you through the Holy Spirit.
Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems to be around for you to talk to? THAT’S GOD wanting you to talk to Him.
Have you ever been thinking about somebody that you haven’t seen in a long time and then next thing you know you see them or receive a phone call from them? THAT’S GOD. There is no such thing as coincidence.
Have you ever received something wonderful that you didn’t even ask for, like money in the mail, a debt that had mysteriously been cleared, or a coupon to a department store where you had just seen something you needed, but couldn’t afford? THAT’S GOD knowing the
desires of your heart.
Have you ever been in a situation and you had no clue how it was going to get better, how the hurting would stop, how the pain would ease, but now you look back on it.
THAT’S GOD passing us through tribulation to see a brighter day.
Do you think that this e-mail was accidentally sent to you?
NO! I was thinking of you! !
Dear God…
I know you’re watching over me
And I’m feeling truly blessed
For no matter what I pray for
You always know what’s best!
I have this circle of E-mail friends,
Who mean a lot to me;
Some days I “send” and “send,”
At other times, I let them be.
I am so blessed to have these friends,
With whom I’ve grown so close;
So this little poem I dictate to them,
Because to me they are the “Most”!
When I see each name download,
And view the message they’ve sent;
I know they’ve thought of me that day,
And “well wishes” were their intent.
So to you, my friends, I would like to say,
Thank you for being a part;
Of all my daily contacts,
This comes right from my heart.
God bless you all is my prayer today,
I’m honored to call you “friend”;
I pray God will keep you safe,
Until we write again.

This is a blurb that really touched me; from Conversations with God
I have heard the crying of your heart. I have seen the searching of your soul. I know how deeply you desired the Truth. In pain have you called out for it, and in joy. Unendingly have you beseeched Me. Show Myself. Explain Myself. Reveal Myself.
I am doing so here, in terms so plain, you cannot misunderstand. In language so simple, you cannot be confused. In vocabulary so common, you cannot get lost in the verbiage.
So go ahead now. Ask Me anything. Anything. I will contrive to bring you the answer. The whole universe will I use to do this. So be on the lookout; this book is far from My only tool. You may ask a question, then put this book down. But watch.
Listen.
The words to the next song you hear. The information in the next article you read. The story line of the next movie you watch. The chance utterance of the next person you meet. Or the whisper of the next river, the next ocean, the next breeze that caresses your ear – all these devices are Mine; all these avenues are open to Me. I will speak to you if you will listen. I will come to you is you will invite ME. I will show you then that I have always been there.
All ways.
