song
If days had themes .. I think today's would have been- song
Last night I had dreams of being in some space with Sarah (my best friend from Taipei, an old roomie and crab family sister) I was playing guitar and started to sing a song that we both knew. Sarah joined in and we were singing happily and in harmony. Then we got to one line and it was like, "something something something cry" and I looked at Sarah and she looked back at me and we were both about to cry but we started laughing instead. I think we wanted to cry cus it was nice to sing together, but also because it had been a really long time since we'd seen each other.
Later in the day while at Uni, veev was struggling to keep awake cus of late nights and had gone into some emergency back up mode or something hahaha. Anyway, she was telling me that she had been listening to old school 1960s music to keep her happy. She got her ipod and we both put in one earphone each and she started playing, "Your Love Keeps Lifting Me" and we both couldn't help but be happy and do a silly dance. Hahahahahah oh god it's such a happy song.
During second class, someone asked the Pandas to play Bon Iver. When Skinny Love came on, almost everybody in the room either hummed, sung or said in there minds "my my myyyy..." whenever he sung those words. It was kind of cool. Everyone was in sync for just that moment.
After class I was feeling a bit tired and my mind was blurry but then Backstreets Back played on my ipod and I honestly cannot help but smile a bit whenever it plays. This song has been so deeply rooted in my mind forever. I remember watching the music video of this song back in my house in Canberra. I was in my parent's room and my brother and sister were also there. We stood in a line together and as all of them danced together at the end of the song, my siblings and I would follow the dance steps. I remember thinking that it was the BEST SONG IN THE WORLD and also that the music video was super awesome. (OK. I still think the music video is the coolest and I still love this song.) Over the years I have discovered that two of my best friends also love this song and it is great. Hahaha.
When I was on the tram home my ipod played "Defying Gravity" from Wicked and it made me realise how long it has been since I've seen a musical. I miss musicals. They make me soooo so so happy. Everyone is singing and dancing and acting and there are beautiful and awesome stages and the music is so rad. Ahhhhhh.
Moving on.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is that music is such an important aspect of my life. It brings up vivid memories, it is calming, inspirational and powerful.
so tired, too tired to write anymore
more things happened today but I will write it later in the week cus I'm trying to keep this post within the theme c:

so cold
It has kind of just occurred to me how much shit I have to do for history. This makes me unhappy.
I spent Sunday attempting to leave the house. It is actually quite ridiculous that I wake at 7 or 8 and don't often don't leave home until after noon. It makes me feel gross. So I've decided that I need to "get out of the house, izzy, just do it... do it now." I know I spent a lot of time with my guitar and I did read and also draw some things but I really didn't feel like I accomplished much at all... So late in the afternoon I headed to Uni to get some rhino/3dmax done. I've actually become quite keen on 3dmax. I cant wait to learn how to animate things & it's nice because I remember at the start of the semester my mind literally felt like it was imploding... but now I like it!
After I finished what I wanted to do, I met up with panda Ariel to chill and eat some mango ice with "exploding jelly". It was so crazy. The exploding jelly was crazy I DONT UNDERSTAND IT. I wish I took a photo of it... but my bag was crammed so full of things I was taking to my grandma's that night I couldn't be fussed to pull it all out. I will definitely take a photo if I go there again and I will definitely be taking friends who visit to this place to eat this exploding jelly to just see your faces O_O it was like... caviar... but bigger... and sweet and a little sour.
I had a nice night just chatting and getting to know this panda more. I learnt that Dali was afraid of death and his body is in his museum and I saw a really beautiful and calm alleyway that I had never seen before, with lights that seemed to just float in the air.
After returning the book I never read to the library, I took the train to Glen Waverely to see my grandparents. I arrived at the station a bit early so I went and had dinner at this pho place. It was great. My friend had posted on twitter that she had made a whoooole bunch of Pho earlier in the day and all day I was just craving it. It was delicious when I had it, but I felt sooo full and sleepy afterwards.
My aunties picked me up and when I arrived my PP was still downstairs just writing notes. So I gave her a massage and hello kisses. I asked my GG if he wanted a massage too but he was always like, "noooo it's okkkkk give PP a massage" and being shy.
I've been talking to Darcy loads lately. It's been nice to just chat to each other about what's been happening. Today I texted him while on the train to dinner that the moon was half full so we should half "arroooooo" to it and he replied, "I was just looking at the moon!" Haha, I love the idea that we're looking at the same thing even though we're in different places. Creepy, but also quite cool, things happen to us like that. Like one time, my friend left to the airport at 4am cus his flight was super early and after he left I was looking at my phone, kind of hoping that someone would text me, despite it being so early. And then my phone lit up and Darcy had just texted me something completely random. He recently sent me this song he made and it has a super super awesome tune and I can't wait to hear it when it's done.
I met up with Maeface and Casi for dinner. It was nice to see these girlies cus it has been ages since we've properly hung out together. Listening to hilarious stories from Casi about the place she works and some crazy Russian people.
Waiting at the train station was very very cold.
I'm thinking that I am needing to do my routine "disappearing" till the weekend. I have been feeling pretty OK lately, but I think it's time for me to take a break from others and also from too much thought.
Goodnight

before dreams
I woke up with the sun again. I had left the window open so I was absolutely freezing but at the same time I enjoyed the crisp air. I will always love the start of winter and the smell and feel of the air. It reminds me of days where I used to walk to school early in the morning. When I left home, I would open the front door and see a white lawn and frozen windscreens of my family car. I'd put my hands up to the windscreen and let the warmth from my hands melt away the layer of frost. I loved feeling my hands get soooo cold and I loved how the grass would snap and crunch under my feet when I walked over it.
I spent all day at my grandparent's house. I made them french toast for breakfast and gave them more massages. The cleaner came at noon and, i suppose it was bad timing, but a couple minutes after May came in I gave my grandma a kiss on the cheek and like walked off quickly to do something else (not on purpose) but she was like, "who was that??" and I went back to her and i was like, "... It was me." and she was like, "Oh, I thought it was May." Hahaha.
It's so interesting to be in the house when PP, GG and May are communicating. There are like four different dialects flying about because May normally speaks Mandarin, but my grandparent's speak Cantonese. So they try and communicate with each other in whatever way possible. They've even started communicating in the older chinese dialect... I've forgotten what it is called. But there is always a bit of each dialect and a bit of english being spoken.
In the late afternoon I watched Titanic with PP. It has been many many years since I watched it. My body because super uncomfortable when there were the scenes where Leo and Kate were on the bottom floor of the ship and it was all flooding like crazy and there seemed like there was no way out. So much water.
I spoke to PP a bit about her life. She had 11 siblings. She met GG when she was 21 at University but had to evacuate because the Japanese were invading. She studied Arts (because it was the "easiest")

Uncle came and picked me up to take me to the train station in the evening. When I opened the garage to let him in, he was saying something at the door. When the noise of the garage door stopped I asked, "Whaaaat did you say?" and he was pointing at some plants I couldn't see and was laughing, "Hey that looks like marijuana." I laughed so hard cus it was so so so peculiar and unexpected hearing that from my Uncle. They kind of did though.

i still feel pretty animal even though it's only half moon

"ROAR"
The waiter asked, "How would you like your meat?"
The bear replied, "ROAR"
A little story I just thought of hohohoho.
ocean
It has been a long while since I've visited the beach. I took a chance and caught the tram to the beach. I took the wrong tram... But I swapped and arrived just as it started to set. Half the sky was covered in dark cloud, but towards the city the sun could still be seen behind the clouds. The ocean breeze was cold like a cray cray, but it was sort of nice.
I took a whole bunch of photos cus I got too excited. There were some people either in the ocean or on the beach and they had these massive parachute things - I have no idea what they are called but they looked like birds and it looked so lovely against the sunset.
also today:
My wall video finished uploading fiiiinally. I put the link at the bottom of my previous post.
I took a walk up and down Chapel Street and I bought a .. monocle. I suppose I didn't really need it... but it caught my attention so I thought I better buy it and make it into something.
Am feeling slightly bad... My roomie has hung up our washing for three weeks. SHE IS JUST SO FAST. I literally ran to the washing machine a couple minutes after I heard it finish and she was already at the clothes hanger hanging it up.
xo

I've been playing guitar quite a bit. I'm wanting to learn Lua - Bright Eyes, Satellite Heart - Anya Marina and Sea of Love - Cat Power. Am slowly getting there!
living home
Despite the occasional loud footsteps of children or large adults running in the apartment above me, I have come to love my home. It seems to me to be it's own creative, living, being.
I suppose it would be right for me to say that I have been observing it - it's habits, movements and personality.
I used to hate how the dampness of the shower would make the paint peel off the walls in the bathroom. It has the paint looking bubbly and broken. I tried covering it up with another layer of paint, but it would just peeled and bubbled off again. I don't mind it anymore. I suppose what made it ugly was that I tried to cover up the wall in the first place.
What I love most is the gradual movement of light along different walls, through doors and gaps of curtains.
light moves through doorways
horizons appear
pathway
converting
OH MAN. I recorded my wall for an hour and I'm converting the file right now so that I can speed it up to be about 2 minutes and it is taking sooo long. I'll post up the video later today.
Yesterday, was the studio exhibitions at Uni. The day was so beautiful and bright I wasn't keen on being inside.
I had to run off because I wanted to meet mum before she went back to Canberra. We had some fruit juice and just chatted for a while. As usual, I was running late and I was texting her saying, "Sorry, I'll be there in 5 minutes am just on the tram!!" and she replied, "I'll be waiting at the top of the escalator waiting to BOOOO you!". I was laughing because it was so easy to visualize her at the top and pointing at me and booing as I slowly came up the escalator. It was nice meeting with her because I hadn't spent much time with her over the week. It was kind of sad towards the end because she told me PP wasn't feeling well and that "her time was soon" and that she'd gone downhill the last week. She told me that I should go up to see them next weekend or even sooner so to help my aunties and GG if they need anything and told me to "be prepared" if anything were to happen. I don't know what it was about the conversation but it made me feel like... rather uneasy. I am quite accepting of this situation, but I suppose it was just peculiar hearing calm words from mum about what to do and how I should act if anything were to happen.
Anyway, we said our goodbyes and I ran back to Uni.
It was actually really great, a lot of people from class got involved and it felt like our vinyl day had been reborn and we were all having fun.

Pandarosa and their class of pandas
yay
our space
The exhibition was pretty good. It was interesting to see what the other classes were up to. I found a couple pieces super super funny and some other really beautiful. It was also great to be in the company of a bunch of friends I hadn't seen in ages. They are all so cute and lovely, hahahahaha.
Oh, and I broke my shoe... BUT IT WAS FINE. I spent the majority of the evening shoeless and that was nice. Andii helped me stick it together! And it lasted alllll the way hoooome.
bandaids for ma shoe
Afterwards, a few of us went for a stroll in the city to eat some yumyum japanese food and I also finally saw the Taiwanese/Hong Kong Dessert house place and wow there were sooooo many humans wanting dessert goodness. It was a really nice afternoon and evening.
And I feel utterly happy to have these people in my life.

"it's like picking up a sock"
Darcy just related picking up a huntsman spider to picking up a sock. Hahaha.
After the rhino and 3d max class (which I enjoyed cus I learnt lots and Louis was keen on teaching me about rain and I was like "Whooo hoooo rainnn!!" and also whoohoo cus I managed to build the top of my dandelion!), Shannay and I took a late night walk down swanston to return a book to the city library. I always like walking in the city at night. There are so few people. During the walk, I picked up some Miso soup and I was like, "Miso soup makes ME SO happy!! HAHAHAHA" hohohoh I am so funny.
"...sometimes someone can come into your life and fuck everything over!!!"
When I got home Darcy called and we talked about everything. Most of the times we talk it's great and such a release of thoughts and feelings on things. It's funny because I know whenever he's going to say, "pardon?" when I haven't said something clearly enough. Tonight we talked a lot about questioning everything and how that is important for us to grow. We also were talking about time and how that's measured and how moments are just moments in memory and how life is a fluid and continuous. We talked about relationships, too... and shared stories of emptiness and sadness. But it was good and our conversations were happy. I am glad to have spoken to him for a long while.
thank you
