Comment forms

Horray! I fixed some things on the website and I added that repliable comment form thing. The whole "powered by DISQUS" thing is pretty tacky but it would have to do for now until my knowledge of HTML/CSS goes up.

So far though, I'm pretty happy with what I've done. Will be working on the comment form still! Soon it will be PERFECT :D

In the mean time, would you all be dears and tell me if the comment form/everything else is up to scratch?(I know its not the best just yet!)

OH YES. I will also e working on some generic avatar-thingamos so I don't have to worry about legal stuff with the baby gorrila and fox that im using right now ( I know its hightly unlikely, but i just wanted a reason to make moar stuff). ANY IDEAS???

New, boring hair.

Well hello, new hair.

I'm still struggling to get used to the bland colour and how 'normal' it makes me feel. I'm just another Asian chick with boring black hair :( Naturally, I had to put in extensions lest I look like a clone of every one else.

Even my grandparents thought my new hair colour wasn't me. I totally agree. Black hair is so uninspirational. You know?

Excuse me while I mope and sook around the extreme desaturation of colour from my head. Least my hair would grow out somewhat normally now.

RIP Coloured hair

I'm getting my hair cut and dyed back to black tomorrow. And I'm not looking forward to returning to the bandwagon.

Ever since I bleached my hair I never want to go back to dark colours. Unfortunately, because I still want to get a job, and because coloured hair is a sign of irresponsibility. I don't want to get discriminated because of the colour of my hair, I decided that black was the way to go. And if I do feel like I'm overwhelmed by the millions of other Asian people with the same, black coloured hair, I guess there is some space on my head for a splash of colour.

I know getting my hair back to black isn't a topic worth wining about but I have my reasons. I've always relied on the colour of my hair, the things I wear, and how I look to stand out from the crowd because my social skillz aren't top notch. Its a conversation starter, a trait that my EQ seems to lack.

I will definitely miss my orange hair and you bet every penny that if I ever get into a line of work that does not require me having a normal hair colour (and if the health of my hair permits) I'd be a blonde/orange/every other colour all over again.

Here is a hair time line. It has obviously gotten better over the years. Except tomorrow :(

HTC TOUCH DIAMONDDDD

After MUCH procrastination, I finally put my HTC Diamond up on ebay. I'm hoping to be getting at least $300 dollars for it but I'm not sure if it would go up that high. I just wanted to try my luck out.

In any case, do check it out and if you know anyone interested in a HTC Touch Diamond, you know which direction to point him to. :D

I went to Chris Tolhurst's 21st on the week end and Matt, Clancy, Mel and I had a pretty good time. I found a reason to wear my Christmas present out and I got my fair share of compliments. I felt I had chosen the right Christmas present.

1. A porcelain jewellery hand

2. New HAIR :D

3. A borders gift card

4. L'Occotaine Gift Set

5. BIRTHDAY MONEY :D:D which I have yet to decide on what to spend it on. xD

Happy Birthday Old Girl.

Happy Birthday to me! I am finally 20. I feel extremely lame because I have yet to get a drivers licence at this age. I won't be getting one anytime soon either, because I am FAR from driver licence test ready. I think Matt can vouch for the fact that my driving is horrible.

Over the weekend, Matt brought me to have a picnic at a gold mine near his house. The weather was beautiful. Matt's dad lent us his camera and Matt was pro photographer for the day. lolwut.

BIRTHDAY POST TOMORROW!

Working hard for the wrong reasons

On friday for Product Development practical, we were meant to have designed a cover page for our lab manual file. This, being a somewhat design orientated assignment, I took rather seriously, even though it probably wasn't counted for any percentage of my marks in my final assesment. This is probably because the grass is alwas greener on the graphic designer/artists' side.

But because I took it so seriously, I have a strong urge to show it off to people other than my teacher and group members.

I explained everything in my submission of the cover sheet; like why I chose orange, why I chose these fonts etc. And I'm pretty sure if I gave this to a graphic designer, I'd get slammed down like a n00b wrestler in a pro wrestling ring. I'm pretty sure the space/line widths aren't right and it lacks designer creativity. But I had fun doing the assignment. Even though Matt got bored waiting for me to finish it. (I was hogging the computer).

Hail and Bordello Shoes

The first ever experience with hail happened today. It was much worse in the city than it was in Mount Waverley. Apparently the storm in the city was likened to a class 5 cyclone.

I was in the car with my Grandparents and Matt when it happened. The hail made cracks in the windscreen and hit the roof and bonnet with a more worrying noise than it really should have. The sky was so dark and visibility was almost non-existent and I didn't know how my granddad got us home safely. He's too pro.

It was pretty scary in the car but when we got home the hail somewhat receded and some sunlight managed to shine behind after the storm as it headed southeast.

I was more intrigued than anything while Matt was worried about his car. At least, but the end of it, his car was spotlessly clean after a torrential rain carwash. He was lucky because every one else scored leaves torn from branches by the weather.

I missed out on all the ice in the city, which could have been the closest thing to a snow covered road.

I haven't got round to showing off my Christmas present from Matt. HOW SEXY ARE THEY! I want to wear them everywhere! But it would be impractical. :(

Myki is the best

I don't know about you, but Myki is the best thing ever. Every one is going on about how useless it is, how much money the government spent on in, how inconvenient it is etc etc...But all that negativity ain't gonna get me down on that one, baby!

See, you guys need to look at the bright side of things. I have no idea how Metro charges with Myki cards, but I seem to be getting a lot of free and cheap rides lately. Sometimes, when the bus or tram doesn't have a working Myki scanner thingamajibby, I get to ride for free. I got away with $20 in 3 weeks. (I admit Matt has been most wonderful to me most of the time and ends up driving me around)

Even though the scanner may show a slight apathy to Myki cards (and be ever so quiet when it realises the card is all up in its grill), and hence cause extreme frustration for both the user and the SUPER BUSY people behind the user, I think people should be open minded about the new kid on the block.

I think all he needs, are more sensitive parts and a louder voice. He's gotta learn to be aggressive. He needs to learn from Mr. Ez-link.

It's definitely no Singaporean transport system (arrogance much? hah!) and its got a long way to go, but what can I say, I've got a certain biasness to smart card systems in public transport. When done seamlessly, its pretty hot.

Also, I am aware that free bus/tram rides would not be around eventually, but considering the time they took to introduce the system, I think I'd get to free load for a substantial amount of time coming.

(Myki is a Ez-link type system that has just been recently introduced to Melbourne's public transport system. Its been giving a lot of slag because its been too slow to be implemented. The government apparently also spent a lot of taxpayer's money on it instead on spending it on cooler stuff because Melbourne's transport system was too horrible to start with.)

School/University

Yesterday being the first day of school (I refuse to call it University) was a nice welcome back to work. My first and second teachers (I refuse to call them lecturers) were both from Europe; England and France respectively. Naturally, they both had the best accents so it was lovely to listen to them speak.

After the appalling 9 am start, brunch period was spent catching up with my school mates who left us to go to clayton for one year (double degree you see). It was fairly enjoyable. I was in third year now, and even talking to the double-degree kids made me feel smart because they had to do what we did last year.

Its just like when someone asks me what I study at school. "Pharmaceutical Science" sounds like much more of a hardcore degree than it actually is. Its always nice to see their reaction especially when they judge me on my orange/blue/pink hair.

I say: IN YO' FACE!!

In totally unrelated news, I saw in a magazine, an Alexander McQueen clutch going for $650. Stupidly expensive, but I actually considered it enough to call the boutique (as and investment piece of course! given that Mr. McQueen has passed on). Naturally, its already sold out. I'm pretty sure every one thinks anything McQueen is an investment piece.

But tell me, is that clutch from the Plato's Atlantis collection not the most wonderful creation ever? I don't usually like clutches very much. In fact, this shouldn't even be categorized as a clutch, it should be categorized as an Autopsy Jude's Perfect.

Just as well, cause I didn't have $650 to spend. :(
