hggggggggggggggnh.

Walking back while sun setting :)
Last few days...

I bought more stuff at op shop again. $5 patterned dress and $5 chambray shirt :)

The problem with buying regularly at an op-shop is that I now have a desire for EVERYTHING I BUY to be around op-shop prices.

Like i can't buy a nice $50-now-$30 dress without thinking "but i could get a dress from vinnies for less..."

op-shop hazard

Accounting was terrible.

That's all I have to say.

---

Is anyone else extremely confused about the timetables? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to book for next semester. :/

We don't chose the subject's we've already completed right? But you know how accounting is part 1A, does that mean there's a part 1B? I'm very confused.

Today I saw a bunch of cool baulko people, JL, MS, DL, DM, and we played Saboteur.

Was possibly the coolest break I've had in uni.

Thanks guys :)

---

I got snapchat, and it's actually kind of fun :) But i'm still quite addicted to gifboom. My sister saw me use i and said it was like a moving version of instagram without the insane amount of people.

She has lots of followers, she's just too pretty.

Made kimchi soup for dinner, because it's simply TOO COLD.

Twas actually quite nice, despite roomies's reservations at spicy tolerance, they managed to eat quite alot. :)

Also I did laundry, but the clothes didn't dry on time because it was too cold and now they're hanging on the banisters.

Friday was very very weird.

If I were to put it metaphorically, everyone walks around with a tightly sealed box of secrets. And the box has many many many layers. And I feel that most people don't ever touch each others boxes. It's only if people chose to share them. And generally, I think that most people won't ever reach the centre of other people's boxes, the final tightly locked box that holds secrets people don't like to admit to themselves.

My box was accessed.

It was stupid of me, and i think i should have seen it coming earlier, but there's no going back now. The box is open and on display and now i'm not sure how to define the relationship/friendship anymore.

Most relationships have like barriers. A limit to how connected and how much you understand about someone. There are things that, despite all the time and closeness you share with someone, you'll never find out about them unless they choose to share it with you.

There was no choice in this. It just happened.

And I would take it back in a heartbeat, if just to go back to a semi-normal stasis of relationship.

I don't really now how to approach this anymore.

When you know so much about someone, where is the line? The barriers are down and I'm not sure if i feel comfortable being so exposed. It's scary. And I don't know where this is going to lead.

In CBS today we were talking about what Christian relationships should be (Ephesians 5:22 - 6:9) and it personally made me wonder about Christianity and feminism.

Like i don't think radical feminism and Christianity can harmonize.

Because women are called to 'submit in everything' towards their husband, just as the church is supposed to submit to Christ. And thus we are meant to help them, support them, love them and give ourselves to them.

But then again, men are supposed to love women 'as Christ loved the church.' So 'he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.' 

So it's not meant to be an exploitive relationship. Guys are supposed to lead women, but also to love and protect them, guard them and keep them holy. They wouldn't hurt them or exploit them or abuse them. And women and supposed to follow and support. But they're supposed ultimately make the Christian walk together. 

I think it's actually beautiful.

People consider me somewhat feminist, but really I only think that men and women should be treated equally, with respect and fairness. We have our differences and it's not like men and women are interchangeable  but it also doesn't mean that women are inferior to men.

But i think that you can't be a radical feminist and be Christian.

Maybe an equalist?

aha that just makes me think of avatar.

sorry for the rant >,<

kthnxbai.

Catch up (picture heavy)

uwaaaaa past few days have been SUPER BUSY!!!

Tuesday

It was really nice when mh and bt came to UNSW for a visit, i was so happy to see them. It was cool just lying on the grass chilling in the sun eating wedges ahaha

Also RL so cute, being so excited and all to take photos in the glass hallway hahahaha :3


Ah i love girls, friends who are girls are the greatest (L)

no offence to male friends, because you're important too. I don't have enough friends, i can't loose my male ones ahaha....

Wednesday

Baby sitting from 8-3 :)

It was actually really fun, even if i was SUPER TIRED from staying up late studying... ahahaha.

We made a sword and shield out of the strange lego connect and he was SO HAPPY with it, he kept running around and didn't want to put it down to eat lunch.



So to make him eat, we had a picnic in the back yard and pretended he was a king and went on adventures, defeating dragons and finding dinosaurs and magical plants that heal kingdoms and give them food that makes bread fall from the sky and meet fairies and catch 'baddies' ahaha

Little kids imagine playtime is so cute.

Stairs become mountains and cubby houses become castles and stepping stones become raging rivers with crocodiles and backyards are forests and garages are caves...

(I also made glasses with the lego connect thing, but it's not as cool as the sword and shield i fashioned.)

After work i went to Artarmon vinnies, which was closing down... seriously why are all the vinnies closing down? it's so sad! I bought a cotton on brown skater skirt for $4, a cotton on orange blouse for $3, a black kind of overall type dress for $6, and ripped pattern black stockings for $2... ehehehe. 

Good bargains :D

No photos cause i cbb LOL.

Also went to Chatswood and bought instant noodles (again)

This time i bought tonkatsu instant ramen! 

Also, whilst in chatswood, i bought milk pudding :)

I frickin love this stuff, it's like custard but not, and awesome. :D

Even my house mate who's lactose intolerant had a bit and wanted more AHAHAHA



Also bought jammy dodgers and tea, because that stuff is addictive. 

If just because they were in Doctor Who. :D


Also had a talk about alter egos. What would your personality be like if you were the opposite gender?

It was actually pretty interesting setting up what i would chose to be like as a male... ahahaha.

I kind of imagined a slightly more responsible luffy. :p

Thursday

Basically crashed at jin's the ENTIRE DAY. I feel bad for his parents, they're super nice...

It was REALLY FUN, but not very productive, even though i went over to study, because all i did was tease him AHAHAHAHA.

But really, he's so adorable, what am i supposed to do? :3 

Adorable people are meant to be teased. Sorry bro >.<

BUT IF YOU WEREN'T SO CUTE I WOULD HATE YOU.

lol jokes jokes, i wouldn't. but it wouldn't be the same. :(

Also watched that surgeon simulation game review online, and couldn't stop laughing for AGES.

I seriously hope that that's not medical procedures... 

We ate the tonkatsu ramen whilst there, cause i brought it over... IT TASTED AWESOME. 

Also, because it was so cold (i didn't expect to stay so long, it just kind of... happenned... ahaha) I stole his onesie. And he's probably never getting it back. Unless i get another onesie. 

It's a cow.

Aha.

Friday

Today was mostly just cramming for work (like always ahahahahaha)

Made the decision to go for Rice leadership. I wonder if i'll regret it... aha.

but after class studied for a bit then went to yogiberry!

The yogiberrybunny took an instant liking to Jin. It's cause he's adorable. AHAHAHAHA.



50% off! Last day! Big bowl of yogiberry for only $6!!!


You jelly bro? Froyo bro! ahahahahaha

Ended up at Jin's house again... it's far too conveniently close to uni to NOT end up there, i think. 

okies im tiredskies :)

Night!

Welp.

(I never liked the term welp but it gets used a lot and it seemed appropriate. I thought I posted this last night but turns out I saved it as a draft instead...)

Wednesday 17th
Exam tomorrow! I'm not going to do well, I don't really understand matrix rules.

I'm not Neo UNSW. I'm sorry.

Today I had to take my siblings to Chatswood for a dental appointment. I took them to Korean BBQ for lunch before the dentist ^^

And before you think it's cause I was being nice, it was purely because I've wanted to eat BBQ for a while, but it's sad for anyone to eat BBQ alone. Also you can only get one kind of dish. Also my sister speaks Korean.

(We didn't take photos of the BBQ cause we were too busy stuffing our faces nahahaha)

I want to eat ramen at a ramen store next :3 but I have to have more money first. Haha.

Walked around Chatswood for a while before catching a train home. Found a Korean grocery which had a crazy collection of instant noodles. Ill definitely be going back there :D

I bought 3 emergency lunch cup noodle flavours I think I've never seen before, and know I've definitely never tried before.






Also found a vinnies that was closing down, so I bought a bunch of stuff for $25.

Shoes were most expensive ahahaha...

I think I have a slight shoe addiction. Every time I go to any second hand store I almost always buy a pair of heels. Almost always.

Also I hate how buses to my place come so infrequently. And all 3 come around the same time too. Can't they space it out a little better? :(

But this is probably because I'm used to living on a metro line, so a bus that comes every 30 minutes during peak hour and every hour off it is incredibly frustrating.

I love metrobuses (y)

Never thought I'd ever say I love a public transport line, but there you go.


Coming back on the bus i realised that i got on the wrong bus, cause one bus stops halfway :( so i had to wait another 30mintues in the dark, and the cold (and the diamonds. lol jks no diamonds)

But i was sitting on the bus banister side ting cause when i got on there was no room, and the bar made me feel like i was on a kids rollercoaster ahaha....




When I got home I put groceries away, and my roomies had already eaten, so I made packet instant noodles!

And I was so hungry, I ended up singing about how hungry I was while I was making instant noodles.

---
The instant noodle song in cmaj.

I'm so hungry
I want noodles
Instant noodles
Too bad it's not instant
More like 3 minute noodles

Nooooodles are Taaaaaaasty
I hate maccas but I love fast food
FAAAAST NOODLES.
3 MINUTE NOOOOODLES!!

(Hum whilst inserting the occasional noodles and/or Hungus, hungry, yummy, shut up stomach etc until noodles are cooked)

*whilst pouring into bowl*

Everybody loves noodles!
Itadakimasu!

*eat furiously*

---

Really don't want to study tonight. But I think I'm going to not do so well, so ill probably stay up late and try and develop some kind of understanding haha...

MY ASOS JUMPER CAME!!! IMSOSUPERHAPPY! IT SAYS BITE ME AHAHAHA.



---

Roomies and I were sitting round the table studying when we started talking about clothing then sized then weight then boobs and one thing lead to another and on a high of caffiene and laughter we didn't stop rollinng around on the floor in hysterics for about 30 minutes.

People say going into a house with randoms can be kinda crap, but i love it so far :)

impulsive dance workshop.

Today was the household grocery trip. We caught the bus straight to bondi and bought every single kind of vegetable available. Then milk and bread. Then we went home :D

I love veggies :D

Also before heading to work i went thrift shopping (again) and i got the most scandalous skirt (because it was only $5.)

Like super scandalous.
It's black and has chains and looks like something a fairy would wear, if the fairy was a punk rocker fairy with a penchant for mini skirts under semi see through tutus and metal.

I want to wear it and also never ever ever want to wear it.

More embarrassingly, I have clothes that would match it that I would also never ever wear. 

I think i secretly wish for some society to have a punk rock emo themed night that i can wear all these clothes i secretly collect too. 

I dunno if I'm a sad person or not. 

haha.

---

Today at the library where i tutor, there was a free dance workshop that the kid wanted to go to, so i went and watched and ended up semi participating. 

Although i realllllllllly have bad co-ordination. My dancing is mostly limited to bobbing up and down and swaying side to side with the beat...

My foot movements are terrible. 

Which is kind of understandable because the only dancing i've ever done is in heels, and I prefer to keep my heels on the floor in case i stab someone with them :p

---

KYCK. I AM EXCITE.

Even though i'm a supervisor haha. 

I must be responsible for children and such

But i'll probably get sick and die... lol

---

I'm really sleep and I have not studied nearly enough for the exam on friday. 

COFFEE HITS. :D

It is at times like these I wish I was like Granger and had a time turner and could use it to study moar. MOAR STUDY TIME.

Also my brother showed me this video. 

OBVIOUSLY THE DOCTOR IS BETTER OK????

Although I wish it was Matt Smith haha.
