I'm not exactly feeling very happy. @

Yesterday's class was kinda crazy. I learnt DVD authoring and it kinda sucks, cause I have so many things to remember and I have to do up a nice dvd with menu and all at the end of week 6, which is in 4 weeks time. argh. Now I really know why I can only belong in the production crew. And I have a class that is supposed to be Managing Design for the designs students. But since FTV people are supposedly special, we are taught different things from the other design students. We are taught by a professional, producing, marketing the film and all that. She's a producer for feature films in aussie. argh. and I hate pre-production stuff the most. I'm gonna die in that class. Went out shopping with my housemates today. Bought a converse bag. And ALOT of people are carrying this Country Road bag. It's pretty simple design, but it's everywhere. and it's 60 bucks. thought of buying that also. but for now I cannot spend so much. cause I must survive until next month when my parents TT me my allowance. Then we came home and cook dinner again.  soya sauce sliced pork with ginger 2 pots of potato, tomato, onion, button mushroom, lettuce, chicken soup short beans egg omelette I was so full man. gonna wake up early tml to go victoria market to buy groceries. my weekend seems to just fly away.

yay!! i've learnt how to load film into the magazine in my 16mm film production class. but i haven't tried it in the dark. which is the difficult part. clapper loader sounds fun cause basically you are the only one who can handle the film. but then if anything goes wrong with the footage, you are mainly to blame also. so in a blockbuster film production, the clapper loader is actually holding millions of 'dollars' in his/her hands. which makes me wonder why the clapper loader is on the bottom rung in the camera department. it's such an important job, but it's usually the starting place for people to even want to climb up to be the DOP. film production should be fun, but then there's so many things to remember when using a film camera. and then it's not easy also. i hope to be able to start shooting soon on the film camera. but then i haven't even gotten into a group. =( argh. it's so tough. cause everyone basically used back their own group from last semester. and the only group who wants to take me in is doing video. so i can't join them. dammit. someone let me join their group? depressing. and i received a letter from Optus today. 'At this point in time Optus is unable to offer you connection of an Optus mobile and/or telephone service.' freaking hell. meaning i might be uncontactable soon. shit. seems like there's something to do with my credit account or something. argh. stupid.

so i've been in melbourne for about 2 weeks now. and school has started for a week. and it's pretty sad i must say. i haven't spoken to anyone from my classes except today that is. 1 person. my goodness. ah well. and then i went out with my parents to sign my phone line and then also get my atm card activated. and then went out for dinner with my dad's friends. they've got a damn nice penthouse with a damn nice view. i'll upload the pictures once i figure out how to extract the picture from my phone. and it's 5am now so i guess i'll try to go to bed. i'm such a loser loner man.

living in memories. @
11:28 PM
you know, when i first reached here. i thought i will be so lost and miss everyone back home. but that did not happen. the first few days was just a mad rush for me. orientation, getting stuff for my room, making sure i will survive with the random groceries. and it was only after i was starting to settle in and things are falling into place a little better, then i realise how much i've missed everyone. it's overwhelming. i know i keep saying it. but it's really hard to be missing someone and be so far away. cause when i'm back home, when i miss my friends i can just message and we'll meet up in a few days. but now, it'll only be in a few months' time. and on the other hand i'm worrying about school. if i will fit in and all. all the assignment briefs to read through. it's driving me crazy already. i can't help it. it's really driving me crazy. you don't know.

oh man. i'm damn sad now. cause i missed my best friend birthday this year. which happen to be on the same day as the olympics. and then i'm going to miss the 12 Lotus gala premiere which will be taking place tomorrow. =( and i didn't even get the invite. haha. no point sending it to me anyway. since they all know that i'm in another country studying. i hope it'll be a huge success and people stay to watch the credits. watch for my name! good luck royston! yes. i really miss all my friends. i think i'm more friend sick than home sick. haha. where have you gone? it's been a week now. and i haven't got a chance to speak to you since. =(

thank you ting. for organising everyone to send me off at the airport. it's like there were so many people suddenly to send me off and i was really happy. and quite sad. haha. but still, thank you so much. go for your big breakthrough!!! i know you can do it!!! waiting to see your name on international tv!!!   i looked so sian cause it's so freaking cold. like 9 degrees. and i didn't manage to sleep during the 8 or 9 hours of flight. and yes, cutting away my hair was a bad idea. cause the wind blows pass my ears and it's so freaking cold. i want my sides as ear muffs!!  this was the first morning when we checked into the motel my parents are staying in. stayed with them for one night before i moved into my house the next day after orientation.    this thingy was just standing at the crossing moving it's hands. it looks an anteater to me. haha. look at all the confused look on the faces of the people across the street. and guess what the mascot is advertising for? wilson parking. it's like what??? a parking company can be so rich to have a mascot to advertise for it. and i wonder why does a parking company have to advertise. moreoever it's one of the largest parking systems in aussie.   yes. it's a camel walking around on the streets. reminds me of when i was in bangkok and there was an elephant walking around on the streets.   and being ahead of time by 2 hours kinda sucks. cause i can't see alot of people online. and over here i will be tired at around 12 plus 1am. and it's already 9pm. i have lots of project briefs and unit outlines to read. it's kinda crazy that all our assignments briefs are all out already and i get so stressed just by downloading it. even before i start reading it. oh! and it's so difficult to find bolsters here in aussie. and even if i can find. it's so freaking expensive. i saw one at ikea for like 30+ bucks. it's crazy. people here don't hug bolsters? or maybe they always hug someone. haha. oh well. i made a bolster out of 2 pillows stuffed into a bolster case. lol. i'm actually quite scared for school to open. cause i'm like jumping into year 2 semester 2. so i saw some project brief that includes doing project that is like a continuation from previous semester. so i dunno how. my house/apartment/dorm/hostel is pretty nice. it's got a kitchen and living room that's kinda like combined. and then a shower that's separated from the toilet. and there's a washing machine and dryer. all in the apartment. so it's really nice.

when i first reached melbourne, it was so freaking cold that my face kinda froze up when the wind blew. when i wash my hands. it felt like i has just dipped my had into an ice cooler of ice (reminds me of my PA days). first night in melbourne was spent with my parents. i watched CSI from 8.30 to about 1am. i couldn't fall asleep even though my eyes hurt. cause both my mum and dad were snoring so loudly. i got so pissed after awhile that i took my earpiece and stuffed into my ears. i finally fell asleep at dunno what time. my mum woke me and when she saw the earpiece still in my ears she got a shock. she thought i had listened to music throughout and forgot to take out the earpiece. haha. 2nd day is orientation and pretty crazy. had to fill in forms for enrolment. wednesday is the orientation. and i moved into my dorm. packed most of my stuff. got a pretty huge table. chit chatted with my house mates. one of them came back a little late cause she went drinking. haha. pretty nice girls though. both malaysians. school is starting next week! it's gonna be crazy. and i haven't met another international student that is studying film and television. i hope i won't be the only international student taking that course this semester. met an NYP senior, and OGL friend and made friends with indonesians and mauritians. but where is my FTV friend? i was feeling emo and watched home's mtv, the few years ago NDP song. how is everyone back in singapore? i hope i won't gain weight cause i'm eating so much during such cold weather, i can't actually feel if i'm actually full. i eat to keep myself warm. and i learnt many things at orientation today. like how they would rather promote (safe) sex than taking about sex at all. they give free condoms at the nurse's room! and even sanitary pads! haha. it's pretty cool. like they are encouraging the students to have sex. and then i learnt some aussie slangs, like arvo, breakie, chrissie, prezzie, barbie.

i just set up my wireless in school. i quite happy cause i can still tap the school's wireless from my dorm. so i don't really have to spent extra money for internet connection. but my msn doesn't work. so i'm going back out into the cold wind to walk to the library to ask the technician to help me with it. then i can online and talk to all the friends that i missed!!!
