I miss the nerdy days

Where I could be nerdy and have nerdy chats with nerdy people.
:(

Nichii says:

[Stephanie] says:

T_T

Wtf. D:
Btw Sui you are not fat!
You are curvyyyyyy and I want your boobs.
:)

HAHA.

Ok. Anyway I hate sexists.
ROARRRR.

I just copied a quote from this geek website and put it as my msn pm:

"It's a scientifically proven fact that a double dose of the x chromosome also equals a double dose of gaming skill."

I wasn't being serious of course. There is no proven fact that girls are any better at games than guys or vice versa. Though it IS true that the gaming community does lack x chromosomes. :/
(Therefore, there is insufficient evidence to test the theory.)

Anyway, one of my friends (who shall remained unnamed cause I love him dearly and would have forgiven his ignorance by tomorrow anyway so I shall not curse him here) asked me what it meant.

And so I told him that, basically it means that girls are better than guys at gaming.

And he goes HELLS NO.
-_-?
I said oh really? Then he went again HELLS NO. @@

Feeling slightly irritated, I went:

"Okay come 1v1 CS, want?"
"NO WAY. DotA?"
"Sure!"

Then he told me that no way girls can be better than guys at gaming.
And he had the cheek to ask me how come no girls are seen in championship leagues blablabla.

I just told him that he's ignorant.
._.

And the thing that made it worse is the fact that I know I can thrash him in any FPS game, and occasionally in DotA. We never went head to head before, but I don't remember him owning me, ever.

Not to say that he isn't a good player, he's just not exceptional to the point where he feels entitled to make sexist remarks.

Not that I would tolerate sexist remarks in any way. So degrading.

That said, I still maintain that I can frag a good half of the CS players in Garena - not that this is any standard to measure one's skill by, but the fact is that these people I can decimate are males.

And so, I would say that no male has a right to say that girls are inferior to boys at gaming, unless they can somehow show that the worst male gamer can defeat the best gamer of the female population.

Idiots. -_-

Anyway, some people can't take a joke.
What was intended to be a good-natured quip on my msn became a source of conflict and irritation for me.

SIGHHHH.

I'm as irritable as ever.
Must be PMS.
._.

On another note, I have won my last lecturer over - the one whom I said might dislike me cause of my constant staring (quite rude eh? But it's become a habit.)

She gave me a D upper for my first gallery review draft.
It's just a forecast mark. Distinction or higher.

SEE, LING?
I told you lecturers eat any bullshit you feed them.
And I am the princess of bullshit. :D

She was quite impressed - articulate, insightful, meaningful, blablabla.
Actually, I made everything up to sound ARTISTIC and PROFESSIONAL.

Ha.

:D I hope I can get references from them to apply for scholarships again next year.

Anyway I haven't been blogging much because, much as I hate to admit, I've fallen into the boyfriend trap. D: Oh no!

New boyfriend syndrome is where a girl starts to neglect normal, everyday aspects of her life to be with her boyfriend. Sometimes, even ditching friends to layan her boyboy.

O_O Hopefully I haven't done that yet.
And NO Vivi I have not been ignoring you for Mona. Slow replies do not count as neglect.
;p

So anyway, in what I hope is a very natural impulse, I tell everything that's on my mind to my bitch, and then I feel too lazy to recollect and reproduce those thoughts on my blog.

Oh well. Boy went out to dinner just now and I managed to get incredibly irritated in that one hour timeframe and had no one to whine to so what else? Rant on my cute little blog, of course.

Wa. He distracted me.
Now what did I want to say? -_-
Boy is like a little labrador puppy, trotting at my heels pulling on my jeans for attention.
/pats
Wo ai ni! ^_^

Okay. Sorry for digressing.

OH! By the way, Monday was our 1-month anniversary.
HAHA. CONGRATS US PLS.
Survived 3.5 weeks LDR.

Wow, I'm starting to prove myself wrong in more and more issues. o_o
KC said celebrating anniversaries is like counting down to the end of the relationship.
Bullshit. D: For normal people, it's marking how far they've come - birthdays, wedding anniversaries, relationship anniversaries...

He says, no, it's like when you count the days, you can't wait til it's over.

I felt like asking him whether he celebrated his birthday because he was looking forward to his death, but that would be a little bit mean.
So I didn't. :D

ANYWAY. I don't know how many of you I've told, but there's this super annoying little boy that keeps stalking me in uni. =.=
It's not even flattering as he isn't even remotely attractive, appearance-wise and character-wise.
._.

Yes. I sound incredibly superficial, but I just want to emphasize exactly how unwanted his attention is.

He keeps sitting next to me.
So I surround myself with girlfriends.

He walks over and sits on my table to chat.
So I respond with monosyllabic answers with a couple seconds delay (thanks for the idea Sammy)

He follows me after class and trails along with me to lunch.
So I hightail it out of class the moment it ends and ditch him.

He magically runs into me on the streets.
So I walk away.

He reappears 10 minutes later where I'm eating.
So I don't glance at him when he says hi.

He follows me around the corridors in uni.
So I pretend not to hear him and only utter 'uha,' 'yea,' 'hm,' and 'ah' when I feel forced to respond.

He loses his patience and asks me:

"Are you always this HAPPY EVERYDAY?"

I reward him with a sidelong glance.

"All the time, uhuh, yea, hm, ha, ah!"

I turned back to the sculpture display I was observing.
And then I turned back to him, looked him straight in the eye (as straight as I could, he's as tall as my shoulder) and replied with the first complete sentence in a week:

"Yes."

He walked away.

I thought that was it, but later as I was leaving the class to wash a wound (I sliced my finger with the scalpel, surprise) he called out:

"Steph. Aren't you going to do ANY work at all?"

His words resounded off the walls of the almost empty classroom.
More than half the class had left to do some research/photocopying/printing/whatever and only a few people were left. And oh, of course, my lecturer!

Spiteful malicious toadstool.

Slowly, I turned around and held up my index finger.

"I cut my finger."

And with that I walked away, effectively silencing him and quashing any doubts my lecturer had on my diligence.

HOW do you deal with annoying pricks like that?

Besides him taking verbal jabs at my boyfriend, he gives me unwanted comments on my work - good or bad I don't care, I dont want his feedback - and WHINES incessantly about things that don't even concern me.

I wish it could be exactly how it is in the movies where the girls boyfriends comes along and gives him a hateful and terrifying glare and sends him scuttling away shitless. Or better, beating the crap out of him and he leaves me alone forever.

Only my boy weighs 50 kg and is 7000 km away and probably couldn't summon up a passably hateful glare even if he put all his might into it. :/

And I could probably beat the perpetrator up myself - him being the height of a 12-year-old and with the mentality of one, too.

I feel compelled to bitch my way out of this and flip him off once and for all, but on the downside, he might try to sabotage my work out of spite - pour PVA glue on my sculptures, accidentally smudging a charcoal drawing or whatever.

On the plus side, I don't have to deal with obnoxious little midgets with enough attitude for the whole class.

-_-

Argh.

Long time no rant.
It feels good.
Goodbye. Pray the little boy doesn't curse me with his apparent psychic powers - he claims he can influenced the weather, move small objects around and wrestles with spectres in his sleep.

He also asked me if I practised Wicca and whether I had any psychic powers.

._.

What would you do if you were me?

Portrait

Portrait drawing lesson in Production Skills class. The most hilarious class so far, definitely.

We had to draw our partner 3 times.

#1: Draw however we liked, with whatever knowledge of proportion we had. 10 minutes.

#2: Lecturer walks around the class, correcting our sense of proportion as she went along - which I thought was utter bullshit. She made me start all over again because the space between Petch's (my subject) eyes wasn't EXACTLY the width of an eye. But the fact is Petch's eyes are further apart than normal ok? =_= *irritated*

#3: Draw again with our newfound sense of proportion, to be handed in and graded by teacher.

And this is how the world sees me (or at least one of my classmates):

#1

#2

#3

Oh. My. Good. God.
T_T

I felt ugly for the whole of that day. :'(((((

For the first two portraits, we had to draw each other at the same time.
For the final one, the model had to sit for 40 freaking minutes while the artist drew. -_-
I almost died of boredom initially, but when he started in on the nose, I couldn't stop laughing.

I swear, Petch and I were the only ones bursting into laughter frequently.
At least he said sorry. x_x

When the lecturer walked past, she glanced at his paper. Then she glanced at me.
She repeated this 3-4 times and then she started SNIGGERING.

OMG!

She only made one comment, which was:

"Well, all I can say is that I hope that SHE's drawing YOU next."

Then she smirked and walked away.
WTF?

This was the culprit!

Petch!
Drawing #1
(he was constantly looking down and I got frustrated, so he's looking down int he pic too.)

Well, I got my revenge.

I hope he felt like a testosterone drained sissy for the rest of the day! HA.

Anyway, I love doing abstract art. LOL.
We can basically scribble a few lines and the lecturer goes good! Good!


We did objects on our desk for the first Abstract lesson. So fun!
If you were wondering what that thing stuck on the end of the wallet is, it's supposed to be my hand holding the charcoal, but the size kinda failed. Shouldn't have overdone it lol.


On the second day, we were supposed to draw the end of the room.
He told us to ignore shapes, details, proportions and perspective.
As long as everything is still indentifiable, do whatever we wanted.

My pleasure! :P


Lol, damn fun right?
Beats sitting down for 5 hours a day doing accounts, econs and whatever shit we used to do in college. (I loved maths though!)

I love my New Media teacher, Sergio.
I arrived an hour late for class that day - I was in the long queue to collect my art supplies - and he didn't even scold us or raise an eyebrow! He just said that as long as we're ahead in our work and don't fall behind, it's perfectly fine. O_O

Wowweee, I wish college had been like this.
Can ponteng English and Maths at least.

Oh wait, I did! WAHAHA.

Anyway, our first project is to design a logo based on our name or initials with Adobe Illustrator.

This was the first draft done with an Artline:


Don't ask me to explain. Hou tedious. And ugly.

After much discussion and trials with Sergio, (and Illustrator) I came up with:


Ok.
At first glance, what do you see?

The swans or the tep?
T_T

Ling says the tep is way more prominent than the S and h, which is not what I intended at all.
:(((

Nvm, will let my lecturer have a look at it next week and we'll see how it goes. :D

On another note, Vivi and Jaykay have hit it off much better than I ever expected.
o_o?

She said we have to go double dating when I get home.
Wow. Totally unexpected situation.

Last year, Viv and I were the ones all 'lonely and pitiful' - I didn't really mind -.-'' -while Ying and Jul were happily pak tor-ing with their bf and gf.

Now we can both HAHAHA back at them as they have both broken up since.
HAHAHA!

Ok. Forget that. Later karma's gonna come back and chew my ass. ):

Wo ai wo de bitch - he's been teaching me how to lala pose!
O_O (He looks gay and makes me a TINY bit worried when he goes ^_^v but that's okay. The small price to pay for education.)

That's why now you can see increasingly abundant peace signs on my pictures in Facebook.
._. Oh dear.

My pics are currently on private settings but I'll post some up here after I inform Mr. Sam that I'm going to show his gay face here get permission from my bitch.

By the way, my hair is tied in the pics above, which would explain the absence of my usual 'sarang burung' as my secondary school teachers used to put it so nicely.

I look something like this now:


Long hair better or not?
Yes? No? :s

Hehe, my T-shirt says I ALWAYS MEET MR. WRONG.

So I feel it's fair you all meet Mr. Wrong too!
HEH HEH HEH!

Say hi to Mr. Wrong!

;p

*runs away*

Strawberries

That's what I just found out - people call hickeys 'strawberries' in Chinese.

o_O

Gossip gossip gossip.
2 of my classmates - a guy and a girl came to class today with nasty hickeys on their necks.

The guy tried to cover it by resting his student diary on his chin and the girl stuck a plaster over it.
._.

I guess we all roughly know what happened over the weekend.

The girl was quite embarassed over it but the guy was more 'heh heh heh' than embarassed.
I was almost went to that party too!

They asked me, but I said I was underage and I had a geek convention to go to anyway, so I declined.

Drinking and sleepover at people I've known for less than 2 weeks?
Er, no thanks.
God knows, my nightmare might have become reality if I were there.
/shudder

But I don't care. :) I will wear my boy's hickeys proudly and not be silly and attempt an effort so futile that everyone can see the hickey through the plaster anyway - in fact, she drew more attention to it than if she had just left it. -_-

Maybe she had a right to blush though - I don't think it's normal in Asian culture to devour people you barely know over the weekend. And have souvenirs to boot.

o_O

I think I enjoyed my geek convention much better. :D

Hardware count:

PS3s: 2
Laptops: 10
Guitar Hero set: 1
Geeks: 13
Fun: [insert rotated 8 here]

^_^

Btw, I love love love love love my farmer!
WHEEEE!

Fish boy prawn boy sheep boy spider boy - whatever you wanna call him, he's awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! XD

Muax.

Going to watch Watchmen now. Buhbye!
:)

Making a splash :D

I intended to kick start the year leaving an impression on each of my lecturers, and I think I've completed my task.

Design Communication:

The girl who always falls asleep, or is falling asleep while he is talking.
Btw my classmates shared a good few laughs and gasps when they saw my DC homework today. It's the one where we had to go search for a dead leaf, 3 letters, 2 words, a line of text and a photograph:


o_O? Is it that bad?

You don't have to fully comprehend it, but it's got something to do with prostitution and peer pressure. :D Go figure.

And yes, I am aware that the model looks like she's attempting to mimic a chicken, but she's actually pulling her clothes up - it's not so obvious now that I pasted her lovely Touch me sash on top. Lol.

Anyway we had to photocopy a whole pile of them, then pick a 5x5 cm square from the whole entire thing (@&*#&^@$% waste effort!) and cut out 9 copies.


Then arrange them into a 3v3 tile.

And you get this!


Hehe. :D

Okay, anyway English teacher has already singled me out (what's new? -_-) and has already asked my friends to ask me for opinions and feedback on their work: "Ask Stephanie, if she thinks it's alright then it should be fine."

English: Good

New Media: Downside - I fell asleep in class; upside - I'd already finished my work by then. Sooooooo I don't know whether he likes me or not.

Principles and Elements: I think she finds my staring unnerving. I sat down at the table she was having a coffee at on Tuesday. She looked at me. I looked back at her. Then she started fidgeting and her lips turned down. After that, she reached into her bag and pulled out the class register and began to study it on the pretext of learning my name - so she wouldn't have to look at me.

I don't think she likes me. :(

Production Skills:

Wowweee! Today's class made me so happy!
Hehe.

We did drapery today.
We had to use charcoal and draw a piece of translucent cloth draped over an easel.
She made us draw it around 7 times, before we did our final piece. ._.
She rotated the easel every 5 minutes, and if we weren't done, too bad. Start from scratch again.

HOLY. My first drawing was not bad - I like it. :D
She gave us around 20 minutes for this one - line drawing only.


NO RULERS! That would expain why the easel suddenly came down with a base of scurvy. O_O

The 5-minute drawings all looked like shit and none of them were completed. HA.
I'd like to see you finish the whole drawing in 5 minutes - when it was your first time doing it!

Behold, my crappiness:



You get the picture -_-

Then she rearranged a solid cloth for our final drawing - WITH tones.
10 minutes to do the preliminary.


Wow. And to think I was pretty satisfied with this crappy thing already. o_O Standard memang low.
When she told us to get a new sheet of paper and begin again, almost everyone groaned, their hearts in agony. :(

One hour later:


WA. I surprised myself. It looked pretty okay!
Considering my last failed attempt at shading, which Ling probably had a good laugh at. T_T

Teacher announced that she was going to go around class, handing out blu-tac to the people whose artwork she thought should go on the wall...and I got it!

WHEE WHEE!
6 other people got it too, out of the 22 in our class. :D

/happy

The others were pretty damned impressive, but that doesn't make me love mine any less. XD
It's no Picasso or Da Vinci or whatever, but for my very first time doing fabric AND shading it...O_O

And people told me it was nice too, and asked me whether I had done this before - to which I replied "no, I'm a science student" with just as much surprise as they had. Woots! ^_^v 

I don't hate shading anymore, after all these years of shying away from it.
It just goes to show you can do anything if you try hard enough. :D
(And if you had no choice but to!)

Hehe. Happy happy.
The lecturer didn't have any complaints either, just a big 'DEFINITELY' as she passed by, handing me a strip of blu-tac.

I do wish I could have more different tones though.
Looks kinda monotonous to me after a while. :/
And I don't really like the middle part. Looks fake.

Oh well. *stops before I start to hate it T_T*

PRACTISE PRACTISE PRACTISE! :D:D

Hi 5~

So I guess half the lecturers like me and the other half don't.
But that's the way it goes every year. :(

I still remember how much Mr Madhavan disliked me last year.
LOL.

Daughter of two CPAs who failed at Accounting?

HA. HA.

The 4 hour class flew pass without a single yawn from me, although I only slept 4 hours last night. Things are looking rosy this year. ^_^

I love uni!

AND my cute bitch who calls me during break to brighten up my day! Wo ai ni.
XD

Oh no :(

See, this is what happens when you attempt a long distance relationship: People try to steal your boy! T_T


To be his gay partner summore. Sigh. :(

Anyway, today I went for my first field trip of the year - only one week into uni! - and we walked down Flinders Street which is really really pretty and has this really classic European shopping arcade and tiny little cafes everywhere. If any of you ever come to Melbourne, I'm dragging you there to have lunch. :D

After that, we crossed the Yarra river and walked to Federation Square and did our first gallery tour - we have to write a gallery review later. -_- Ah. I have no idea how, but as you all know I'm pretty eloquent in my bullshitting so there shouldn't be much of a problem. ^_^

We only toured the collection of Rosalie Gascoigne - omg I almost typed Miranda Cosgrove again I don't know WHY but her name keeps popping into my head whenever I'm trying to recall the name of the artist. =_=

Miranda Cosgrove - Nickelodeon kid

Anyway Rosalie was this Aussie with a French surname who was born in 1917 and reached her peak of creativity around 57/58 years old. Her husband was a scientist - a serious astronomer - and she lived on a mountain in Canberra and worked as a housewife.

Then she started walking around the bushes nearby and began to collect junk and created her artwork. O_O I have pictures but they're pretty crappy - no flash and I hurried cause there were so many other students waiting to take pics too. Not gonna upload today, gonna use up our bandwidth limit - the meter resets tomorrow so I may upload then if I feel like it. :P

When I first walked in, I was every bit the skeptical left-brainer - you call this art? Wtf.

Then, I slowly got into the artsy mood and I came out going oohhhh ahhhh coollll. O_O I could see her evolve from putting together little bits dolls heads and cans to bits of signboards and zinc boards to make pieces that looked remarkably like paintings from a distance.

Whoa.

Ok, most of you aren't going to understand a word I say or how I felt - maybe perhaps Ling so I'll stop babbling. :D

On another note...I WANT THIS:


SO PRETTY OK?
Shitty Razer makes such pretty products that make me drool. @(&#^@*&#

The Lycosa already looked pretty damn yeng with its electric blue backlit buttons (oh yes I find backlit keyboards pretty damn cool) and its media control.

WOWOW no longer need to tab out to control iTunes. O_O!

And the WASD backlit could be pretty handy though for those late night CS sessions where I don't want the whole freaking keyboard glowing at me. Or maybe I'll just keep the room light on. XD

And now they have the mirror edition with a glossy finish. WA. They really know how to appeal to female geeks. O_O *gleam*

But I do have some concerns over fingerprints and smudging. -_- I sometimes like to apply lotion while at the keyboard so yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa that may be a problem.

EITHER WAY.
Mirror edition or not, Lycosa...MINE PLEASE!

*hint hint to mommy*
Psssst, 18th birthday. I don't want a car XD

Bf not allowed to buy.
Surprise me please? :P

*burp*

[01:52:13] h3nry| tat day

[01:52:15] h3nry| i use my msn

[01:52:17] h3nry| talk to him

[01:52:17] Chocolate_XD oh ya

[01:52:22] Chocolate_XD and viv use his msn

[01:52:23] h3nry| den u use my msn

That's what happens when you talk and talk and don't listen to other people: Redundancy. -_-

Anyway, I had a footlong subway for lunch!

Double my usual food intake. WAHAHA.
My fatty diet is going along well!

*pats tummy*

But I had maggi for dinner. Wtf!

My effort wasted. ):

So much for my diet going along well.

Finished my New Media homework. Which is silly cause my due date is next Friday - the latest of all my assignments.

But I felt like doing it, cause it was interesting and required less effort than the others. XD

Spent a couple of hours researching the history of the McDonalds logo and the Staff of...wtf I forgot the name after typing it out 100x in search boxes and Microsoft Word.

Ok. I just googled it. It's the Rod of Asclepius.

It's not even a staff, wtf. This shows how much attention I pay when I'm doing my work.

But I swear! I was reading it up really carefully!

I'm just bad with names, as I've said before. ):

Anyway, if you don't know and are lazy to google it up, the Rod of Asclepius is that medical symbol, with the snake entwined around a stick.

There's a long story behind it and I won't bore you with details but the version of that logo most of you all are familiar with is probably the caduceus:

...whereas the correct symbol should be the Rod of Asclepius:


The snake and rod inside being the RoA - the entire blue thing is known as the Star of Life.
There's a fair bit of irony behind the confusion of the two signs, so if you're interested go Wiki it for a short read. XD

Anyway, think I'm gonna catch an early night's sleep (before 3 am is considered early for a weekend, and I woke up at 3 pm anyway.)

Mona, I forced to sleep; Henry is drafting, Nick and I had a fallout and he's not online anyway, Viv's modem got struck by lightning, KC is afk, Sui is watching some drama, Ling is MIA...and that pretty much sums up the people I actually bother to chat with,

^^''

Oh well, good night. :D
Then I can wake up early and see my bitch tomorrow. X)
