Drive-In.

As she stared out her window,

The stars twinkled, hazy in the slightly overcast night sky,

passing by quickly as the car eased onto the motorway, the buildings,

she let her senses succumb to the night, inhaled it, breathed it.

It wouldn't be long before she'd be in an entirely different place, faraway from this city she'd grown up in.

Home.

Soon she'd be in a place sixty-five times the population of her own country. sixty-five! The thought itself overwhelmed and excited her all at once. One amongst billions. billions.
But where did that leave her now? To attach or detach? She was more inclined to believe that detachment was imminent, surely.
Or was she over thinking things, again...

Went to the Drive-in last night with Dan. A first for the both of us. We watched Kung Fu Panda 2! A sufficient sequel, at that. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Thank you grabone, for the amazing deal that included two tickets, two large soft drinks and one large MEGA tub of popcorn! We barely even got through a third of it!

Followed by dessert at Freestyle tout at the Emporium. I wish I had taken a photo to show, seriously beautiful, delectable yum-alicious goods. -Just as Kung Fu Panda said, helped me (read: my stomach) find inner peace :P.

I selected the passionfruit-curd tard, which came with a white chocolate cream filled cannoli and a scoop of blood-orange icecream (topped with a delicately thin, crisp slice of candied blood-orange.) Gastronomical experience and a half!

Headed home and we adorned the rumpus room furniture (and clothes airer) with blankets to build a modest fort (: Hahahhaaa, remember like when you were young? <3.

And that was a night!

----

It's now 11.39pm and I really should get packing considering the bus for Theodore will be leaving at 4.30 in the morning for our 7 our road trip (yes, via bus) to help those in the small country town who were affected by the floods.

I spent the afternoon/evening with a bunch of other workers, as we collected all the things listed on the shopping lists... such a different experience, being a customer-customer. You know, the one's who stack up flat packs on their trolleys dangerously high...it's no easy feat. Then navigating the damn trolley... oh wow.. hahahha.

But yes, the marvel-worthy thing, (-aside from the free hotdogs) would be the shirts we were given, yeeew, REPRESENT!

:D

Let's pray it's a successss! Note to self: warm clothes, update ipod, Dorian Gray. (* I WILL start AND finish it..and of course, return the copy to it's rightful owner, Mr Pancake P;).

NIGHT, LOVERS! 

-Mzzzzzzz

Jenny.

I just finished watching Forrest Gump, for the first time ever. (:

Having not seen any trailers or actually been told the plot before (aside the memorable "Run Forrest, Run" and "Life is a box of chocolates..." quotes), and so the movie for me was indeed, quite the box of chocolates. I didn't realise the length of it! 2-and-a-something hours!

It was truly a beautiful, inspiring tale, and according to trusty ol' Wiki, based on a novel by Winston Groom. Certainly would love to get my hands onto that! -And back into reading, at that.

Hmm update shmupdate: I HAVE OFFICIALLY FINISHED UNI SEMESTER 1, 2011 as of Monday, 1pm! WOOOOP WOOOOOP! Haahahaha, after which I met up with Kim, and we trekked into the city together for a bite and a browse (lunch at Suncrane, city and window-shopping!)

Met up with Danni and David at 4, and we went to visit Bryony together!

WHOM I AM SO SUPER PROUD OF! She's making ASTOUNDING, miraculous progress! Could not be more inspired by her determination. (:(:

While in the dining room, a gentleman and comedian of a guy, Ben came and introduced himself.

Humbled. Graced. Absolute hero. His positivity and outlook on life is simply one to admire and aim for.

Headed home after that, had some deener and slept amazing!

-

Today was just a few house chores, lunch @ Top Noodle with Yannick (and my aunt for about 5), and then we hung out with Jieun and Sera for a while at Kangaroo Point.

Yannick grabbed some pizzas (cheap Tuesday!) en route home, which we half-demolished at Riverdale Park, just lazing about on a park bench and table (:

Saighhh good as the day was, I didn't get to see the person I wanted to see most ): 

I know it's been especially hard on you lately, and upon stumbling across a particular image -courtesy of Jon's .tumblr, I would like to dedicate it to you :).

Sleepytimes thinks I!

-Keep soldiering on, whether you be cramming it up or finding life a bit rainy..

A RAINBOW AWAITS YOU C:

Hehehe. 

<3. Mizz

PS: HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYY YEEEEEEE!!!!!

travel

so my mind is in all places it shouldn't be, especially at a time I should be well-investing in this here study: 

I've been checking out wowspectacularmazing blogs, of people with super interesting, amazing lives and visual/literary perspectives to match. All of which evoke wonder and awe in me, and inspire me to do the same. How the mind loves to wander!

Well, I am indeed looking forward to traveling in the very near future indeed, and I can say I am very much anticipating the following two weekends which will consist of Theodore and Mt Tambourine, respectively. I won't yet reveal the reasons for these trips, as that would cause me to stray down the alleyway of procrastination 2.0, and this is certainly not the time nor place, if I've not already strayed far enough!!

Ahhhh, I have also been working on a list of short and long term dreams and desires (hopefully on the more feasible-achievable side), which I may or may not publish here in the near futures. It will be an ever-growing list though, this I know for fact. Hahahah, so perhaps an embed in le sidebar or something would better suffice.

Something else I've been doing of late is having fun with scarves..

so much fun P:

Friday's (yesterday's) outfit.

ohgoshlol. speshul, this kid. The scarf makes it 8).

eeheeheeheee...?! -Tonight's accessory to God's Pad.

Yayyyy! Actually just realised both scarves are both courtesy of my mama's closet :3. GAWSHBEMORESTYLISH,PLZ! Hahahhaa, I love her. I love these. Clish-clash mish-mash? Meh! I LOVE COLOURAWR...but apparently you all knew that. Life is too short to be boring and drab and dull. LIVE IT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.

Kay, time to get back to Mao Ze Dong and his antics, before's and afters. Weoooop! TWO MORE SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPS! Rawr!!

study is bringing out the inner psycho in me. srsly.

Love to the world!

-Mizz<3.

PS: B! I AM SO SO SO SO SOOOOOOOOOO  SUPER PROUD OF YOU!!! :,D

Aside from this procrastinatory lol interweb find, I've actually been up to quite some stuff:

Monday: Worked ...Happy Birthday, Queen ;L! (Double time and a half ftw, what can I say.)
Tuesday: Finished off the audio package, submitted and crammed my butt off for...
Wednesday: 50% exam for Journalism and Mass Comm. Which went prettty alright, albeit a few uh, omgwtf q's from who knows where, but hey, 20% chance of picking the right answer, and as a kind Mr Reynoso advised: 'When in doubt, pick 'C'!' YEAH! Went to visit Bryony after, then had coffee and long long, long overdue catch up with Veronika @ Three Monkeys West End. Iced chocolate for me, her an iced coffee for her, and a chicken focaccia between us both!! NOMMMMZ. PS: Student card = 10% discount guys, as I accidentally found out! Hahahha, ventured into the city afterwards for a spot of shopping, before I headed off to meet Kim, Sera and her friend Andy for some iceskating @ Winter Fest in King George Square! Oh and bumped into the lovely Brit-toe-knee en-route, who was finishing work!
Winterfest: Yay to free chai (courtesy of Lipton hut there) Mmmm soooo good! And hot mulled wine (courtesy of amazing spreets online package deal, now over, sadly ): ) BUT BUMMER AT THE CRAPTACULAR HOT CHOCOLATE ):. More like hot sludgy sweet nothing. ):
But twas a pretty fun night anyhow. We shared a langos (hungarian fried bread) which was also disappointingly cold...SAIGH. Cos those things are usually awesome 8).

Latest acquisition from The Mother's Wardrobe. So colourful and comfy and warm! (:

"That is an AMAZING jumper!"
(Hipster chick, mid zebra crossing, West End, 2011.)

Thursday: Hmmmm then today I visited Dan, had lunch with Carlos then saw Lena for a bit, and then the both of them left me to study in the Brisbane Square Library!

YAYAYYAYA. Gah so tired.. but need to cram.

Rawr Friday tomorrow. BRING IT AWN!!!

Muchos McLovin,

Mizzzzz

Salu-what!?

For you, V. <3

 
Things will be good in good time indeed my GM! (:

Had a massively long day at work. SUPERRRRR BUSSSSSSYYYYY. Seriously, who would've thought long weekends = trips to IKEA on house beautifying/improvement ventures!? Eeeeeeeeeee! But it was tolerable, people were nice. 305 Transactions processed. Pretty proud. More proud of the notes I produced last night for studyyyy, though... 8). Crashed at 4. And now my brain is fried. I should sleep, but must print one more reading.. off to uni tomorrow too yeyeyeyeyyeyeyyyy =____=!!

Wish me luck!!

PS: When Will My Life Begin & I See the Light from Disney's Tangled = bestttttt everrrrrr z'awwwww!

blank.

Something is amiss.

My mind can't quite put a finger on it,

But it's pretty sure my heart knows.

It doesn't hurt either.

Maybe because the gradual decline of our communication already prompted this to come about.

If we mattered so much to each other, we'd try harder.

But we don't because... because we lacked so much to start with.

A foundation. -At least a sturdy one.

Our current priorities too, they differ.

The monster came and kidnapped you with it.

So you've left.

To fight it.

Yet to come home.

And I'm home but I'm leaving.

What will remain?

How awesome's Mac's Photobooth's 'color pencil' effect?

Mmmmm...moody mood moods!

I took my worries to the water's edge

My mindpod/mentaljukebox is seriously a mystery. Random songs pop into it ALL the time.. and they always fit...somehow. Musical of my life! Hahahha, well this one started playing tonight and then I remembered, I saw him perform the song live himself last year at the Go-Between Bridge Concert! Mr Bob Evans, alongside....

 It was a rather AMAZING set, to say the very least, seriously, a concert...ON A BRIDGE! -Twas for the opening of the new Go-Between Bridge in the CBD. There's definitely a first for everything! Cannot believe it was almost a year ago too! I went with Phuong, right after Yee's birthday picnic in the Southbank Parklands. I recall Danni was supposed to come along too, my usual festival buddy and BFF but let's just say printing and bringing along a ticket usually helps a great deal :Pl!

Highlights: being pretty petite, Phuong and I were able to nab ourselves a pretty decent view close to the front!
Lowlights: Camera battery dying. I don't think I even managed to get one pic ):
Twas an all-ages concert. Now don't get me wrong, I've nothing against these kids, but they do lack concert etiquette by a long shot!

eg: talking through any song being performed that they'd not heard before/wasn't the latest hit/ONLY SONG that they'd ever heard of.
-and: Yes, you're young, yes you're still in school, and DESPITE YOUR RUDENESS LIKE TALKING THROUGH PERFORMANCES, a concert ground is not where you let people bigger than you ie: adults, barge through in front of you willy-nilly in the spot you'd been standing at (and had saved) for the past (x)amount of time. BECAUSE EVERYONE BEHIND YOU, CONSEQUENTLY, WILL GET NUDGED THAT LITTLE BIT FURTHER BACK! And letting one or two people I can usually tolerate, but when people notice, and you keep letting people through, and people keep noticing, so MORE people keep 'squeezing through' it really does take it's toll when you end up half a mile back from where you started! Sorry I may sound hypocritical right now, and I don't mean to be size-ist or what have you but these people tended to be big people too. Big, TALL people who prevented a would be-epic view of the stage! Gah! And you! BIG PEOPLE! Yeah, you SHOULDN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE TOO-POLITE, teeny munchkin under-eighteens! You KNOW they wouldn't push you back... D;


Anyway, there's my year-overdue cover of the Go-Between Bridge Concert.
Now, back to study 8).

OH PS! How amazinglysexycharmingswoonworthyhilarious was Miguel, the chef on Masterchef tonight?! (Yeah, a rare occasion my eyes met the television screen whilst TURNED ON :O!).
Also, my mother baked cookies. Super study fooooood. Fresh, warm. Delicious. Epic with icecream. And Tea.

STAY WARM Y'ALL!!

Many hugshugshugs!

-Mizzzzzcookies! :3

Handball and skipping ropes and lemonade stands...

Oh, and an admirable writer! Such flair... Should see the article he wrote about Jim Morrison's documentary. Stifle a grin, I dare you.

Apologies for the pixeliness due to it's compression.. click to enlarge! Alternatively, check out the actual web article and comments here!
