Im a victim of facebook

For some reason i joining the internet program "FaceBook", i have to admit that i am obsessed with this internet program and obviously become a money maker for Mark Zuckerberg. i just realized how much time i spend on this thing and how how much i been affect by today's technology.
surprise me, i didn't know i can be drag by such unrealistic program, i mean...aren't the things that they create are all fake? but...still... I'd constantly apply those unreal application on my facebook such as water fight and throwing those water balls on other people's wall that won't even blow up and make them wet, or i will send those Christmas present that i can't even offered the price, and most funnest, i have a squirrel as my pet! people like to come around and give him pat by clicking a bottom! what is this all about?!

I remember i used to laugh about my sister playing those online games. Now i feel like i become one of those people that i used to laugh of all the time, i thought i will never put myself into these unrealistic stuffs, things that i thought i will never like and get obsessed with...but facebook just makes me want more...

Then i realized i just put myself in those situation i most don't wanna to be, like checking my friend list and compare with other people see how popular i am and how many people i know. Or go on my web page and see if there is any people write on my well or send me a Christmas present, but all of these, are the things that i been trying to do for the past few months...

So i have to make a conclusion that no one can get away from these things! In fact, Internet and false human lives are really dig down to our real world and our mind and the true is we all become the victim of our own creation. Well unless i am, and you?

Chloe's 21st

On Friday night we went to Chloe's 21 st birthday party, she is so beautiful.

Miming, Faye and Chloe

Me with Faye, Miming and Chloe

Three of us, Asians, Ha Ha

It was a good night, the party was fun except one thing...the time was too short! why i would think the time is too short? that is because i forgot to bring my ID!!! How stupid am I, yes i know, tell me about it, i just don't want to remind myself about it anymore. Miming say it's such a bad experience, because both of us forgot to being our ID... So miming and i went home to get our ID after fail convincing the security guard to let us in.

It took us one hour to get back to the party location, by the time we arrived it was 11 already. So we didn't get to see of the class met, it is really sad, because we didn't get the chance to take photos with them, so can someone send me the photo of your guys? If we cut off the ID incident part, last night was all very good,i had three shots and one vodka with orange juice, i shouldn't drink them straight away with my empty stomach, they makes me dizzy. i like the cup cake as well they were really nice. last night I get to know Chloe's mum, they look really similar, she was talking about the speech which i was unfortunately miss out on.

After all it was alright, unless Chloe had a fun night! thats the most important thing, yeah? once again Happy Birthday Chloe!

xxoo

Lets Shop

Yesterday i went shopping! Because i need to buy a present for a friend's birthday. i didn't go to class that morning because i was wake up late so i decide to go the other class just to cover that up. anyway so i got a whole free day, it was relaxing but also painful, i just this little flue at the moment probably because all the late sleeping.

In the afternoon i took the train to Miranda and meet up my friend Kat (cell leader). we are very efficient, finishing buying everything in the first shop that we went in "Tree of Life". This summer they got a lot of new dresses and colorful stuffs which really excited me, so i got myself this flower patten top, it looks really 60's, Kat say she is going to borrow it occasionally and she probably won't give it back to me. Kat loves 60's style to a ridiculous level, for example she went to see "Hair Spray" (a singing genre movie with 60's story background and they John Travolta dress up a a fat women) for 10 times in different theater with different friends, but she is cool; i love her.

I have to admit the true that i am such a materials person who spending parents's labor money all the time, it is not very good, i rather to have my own money to spend, but i just don't have a job yet. Maybe i should apply "Tree For Life", it is a nice store and the most benefit is to get some discount ha!

Anyway, summer is coming, so i guess it is not too spoil to buy a top for yourself, is that right girls?

Matt Corby

On Sunday Matt Corby, who sang "Evermore's It's Too Late" and "The Beatles'classic Across The Universe", won acclaim from judges. Matt really stamped himself as a major contender to reach the final of Australia Idol -(Geelong Advertiser 12/11/07)

For some random reason i start watching Australia Idol, probably because my sister announced that there is a guy who goes to our church sings in Australia idol. then i start watching it....

It is really interesting to look at someone who you see in the realistic life, goes on the TV show and become so famous. i personally don't know him but i remember i was in the church and set 5 step away from him. My "cell" leader (group leader also my friend) knows him from church , she went to Australia Idol for visiting and while she was talking to Matt Corby and Daniel Mifsud during the break, all the girls were staring at her and saying Oh My God she knows them! so she feel kind of cool afterwards. It is funny to see how people can be famous in a short amount of time, to see how young people crazy about idols are interesting as well.

However, seeing Matt Corby sing on the stage is really cool, i believe everyone from "shire live" (church) is proud of him. Tonight, he finally get in to the final competition! My sister was screaming about it. Although it is really sad to see Carl Riseley leaving the show. To be honest i didn't expect Carl to go on that far in the Australia Idol, i really like him and he has improve a lot from competition. If you are a fan of Australia hope you enjoying the show as much as i do. For people who don't watch it, you may like to watch the final just to give Matt Corby and Natalie Gauci a support, cheers!

Ramen

The weather of Sydney is been up and down, warm and cold during November spring time. it was a raining day on Thursday, i need to wake up early for Julia's class. it wasn't too bad actually, i like the weather like this, because i don't need to feel guilty to snuggle in front of the TV or hiding under the blanket and read my favor novel. Raining can always be a good excuse for me not to wash the clothes.

There is another reason why i like raining day, Ramen. Ramen is a type of Japaneses noodle for those isn't familiar with the word. when the weather is a bit chilly and cold, Ramen is the best choose that you can have, because it really warm you up. So, i went to this restaurant called "Minya" with Miming and Jessie on last Thursday, i love what they have and they all go on the top of my food list."Minya"is a Japaneses restaurant which make tradition Ramen and other Japaneses meals, it is located at Quay st, the ground flour of prince center just in front of Insearch building. "Minya"already becoming my "spot" that i go and have lunch with my friends. It is a nice place but because the shop is not very big thus it can be crow sometime with a lot people going and coming. anyway if you are interesting in it or having a bad mood during raining day maybe you will like to consider about it, and yet who doesn't like food!?

Becomming Jane

Director: Julian Jarrold

Writers: Kevin Hood, Sarah Williams

Release Date: 29 March 2007 (Australia)

Genre: Biography/ Drama/ Romance

"A woman especially if she has the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can." - Jane Austen

I believed everyone knows about the book “Sense and Sensibility” or “Pride and Prejudice”, in fact the second one is my favor novel. However, they were both written by Jane Austen and published in 1811 and1813. In both novels, there always have a good ending for the romantic couples. Then we all thought Jane Austen’s love story would be as lovely as the story presented in these books; but in the reality Jane Austen’s real life, love story, wasn’t as perfect as her works. But her experience from loose her love in difficult circumstances did give her a grace to create her fascinating works.

In the movie "Becoming Jane",Jane Austen (Anne Hathaway) is the younger daughter of a minister, her father and mother who has yet to find a suitable husband. She wishes to be a writer but a woman like her at that time would be wished to marry to a wealthy man who can take care of her. She refused many marriage arrangements including a numerous men Mr. Wisley’ proposes. “It is not until the mischievous Thomas Lefroy , a promising lawyer with a reputation (who becomes the inspiration for Pride and Prejudice's Mr. Darcy) (James McAvoy) shows up in town that Jane begins to take marriage seriously. After a bad first impression, Jane cannot stand the self-centered Londoner but the two get to know each other and eventually fall in love.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becoming_Jane) Tom takes Jane to London to try and convince his uncle, to let him marry Jane. His uncle refuses by knowing that Jane is a girl from a poor family…

The whole story is really similar to the novel “Pride and Prejudice”, the only different is the girl in the books get to marry who she loves and Jane has never marry but she chose to live spiritually and spend her whole life with her pen.

After watching this move “becoming Jane” I can not stop thinking about it, I guess it is because I need to face the fact that reality is reality, it is not always perfect. Sometime people can only just deliver their dreams in the unreal world and hoping someone can accomplish their story, to reach the “happy ever after”.

Half Banana

Yeah very well, i create the most funnest name ever!i just don't want a conservative name that's all...Ok, let me explain why i create such doggy name.

Banana describe a person who has Chinese out looking but has a white-culture identity.These few days i just feel like I'm so out of community. i will say maybe i am a bit anti-social.

Think about it.... a international Chinese student who comes from Taiwan, lives in Australia for 4 years, not a Australia citizen, who does not belong to the white-community and not a 100% Taiwanese. Im living with a Australian family, I'm also been influenced by Aussie culture alot, i agree my English is pretty average (unless i can speak,spell and understand the word "English") but i still got a feeling that i can't fit in the whole white socity.
Then here are the questions that comes after being a international student, such as where Do i belong to? and do i marry a Chinese or other nationalities?
I used to think i probably can be a banana, unless a person who speak 100% english, not being separate apart, belonging to no where. if thats the case I probably don't need to feel left out by one particular place or stuck between two different identities and cultures.
