My Painted Canvas

My roses aren't red

2011-10-04T00:49:00.001-07:00

But I love them nonetheless :-)

Kuachicken

2011-09-27T06:45:00.001-07:00

The eating of kua chi, the lack of interest in socialising and the sudden urge for art.

Reminder to self

2011-09-27T06:41:00.001-07:00

'Everything happens for a greater reason.'

Amongst all quotes, I don't think there's any one that I hold closer to my heart than this. Stay positive and give thanks, for life is good :-)

Friends

2010-09-11T00:33:00.000-07:00

The key to a successful relationship is not finding the right person, it's learning to love the person you found.

This is one message in an article I read on Facebook, that really struck me. The article spoke about marriage, but I think it applies to all relationships in general. Falling in love is possibly the sweetest thing that happened to me and it made falling out of love very difficult. However, I am really fortunate in many ways, and I've always had kind people to support me in times of need. As of now, things are looking pretty good in my life - but I do need to remember to not be too complacent!

People walk in and out of our lives all the time, but it's up to us to keep or discard them. I've learned one thing about this: Don't procrastinate. If you want to send a message/email, send it out asap. I find that the longer we wait, the more awkward it may become. I'm still quite hopeless when it comes to avoiding procrastination!

Recently, I had some friendship complications - wrong words from my mouth flowed into the mouth of others, then back to me. When I come in contact with that friend, everything went on as if no tension existed. It got me thinking, have I misjudged her - based on what others told me? I've always thought myself to be a neutral person - but in reality, I am truly biased.

People walk in and out of my life all the time, and there are a few that I really appreciate and love. I know I don't always do the right thing and say the right words - I wish I could tell each and every one of you just how I felt inside. To make it simple, I'm sorry for my wrongs and I'm thankful that our paths meet.

I will make an effort to keep in touch! (Haha deja vu?)

Poison

2010-05-27T07:29:00.000-07:00

My words are poison,

maybe I should've been mute;

and perhaps then, I'd listen again.

These tears that I cry,

I don't understand why.

It got me thinking,

would you cry them for me?

My words are poison,

yet I still speak.

Let me eat my own speech,

so as much I hurt you,

I feel my own poison too.

Hahahha I wreak of emo-ness again.

Blood Donation #3

2010-05-05T19:15:00.001-07:00

This is the third time I've head to the blood donation centre - and the second time I came home disappointed. In my second visit, it was cold and I didn't have enough liquids so my tiny veins become somewhat microscopic and the nurses didn't want to risk it.

Fair enough.

This third time, I ensured I did some exercise and drank lotsa fluids. Fate has it that I got a trainee nurse, brand new. She got the right vein but entered it wrongly - so I bled. Lost about 30 mls of blood. The more experienced nurse told me that it's going to bruise so I came home with a free tube of bruise ointment - which I intend to use on the enormous bruise on my leg.

I shall attempt to donate in 1.5 month's time again.

Another weekend!

2010-04-30T00:38:00.001-07:00

I love Fridays. I always look forward to Fridays and today, yet another Friday, was surprisingly more eventful. Interview with Red Cross went ok, hopefully I get to be a volunteer and get that greater sense of purpose when I wake up (instead of playing Bejewelled or Solitaire). I also had lunch with Andrea, which was very enjoyable and we walked around running each other's errands. Thank you for the mango cake, lovely! :)

And just like many other Fridays, I get to see the boyfriend! But tonight, Adrienne is gonna... meet the parents. Hmmm perhaps it's a good thing that my Cantonese is limited to the Dim Sum menu. Don't know. Sigh I'm shyyy.

"Ah, that's a very fine looking char-siu"

"Oh My har-Gao!"

Tomorrows

2010-04-27T01:18:00.000-07:00

There's a lady who sits on a stool near a little table on Rundle Mall. She will interpret tarot cards for you, for gold coins ($1, $2). My housemate got a reading once, but I don't really remember what her comment was.

Wonder about the future? I do. And it is during extremely uncertain times like this, when I am very tempted to pay the lady to get my tarot card reading. TELL ME MAH FUTURE!

A friend quoted life to be a mysterious puzzle, and I agree. How do you solve a puzzle when you don't know what it looks like? Well, I personally like to think that this massive puzzle has little bits of clear pictures that you can piece together; and hopefully someday, we'll be amazed by the big picture and be glad that our sacrifices aren't in vain. So as a reminder to myself, focus on one thing at a time and don't be easily threatened by the shadows of uncertainty.

To fellow jobseekers and those who are still studying, my best wishes to us!

P/s: I have this urge to fix jigsaw puzzles now. Ah, I'm so easily distracted :(

Motivation

2010-04-22T03:39:00.000-07:00

You've graduated. It seemed so huge and scary to me. And yet, it's about time. I've personally gotten sick of studying.

The roads ahead are going to be tough. When and if you're swayed by uncertainties, challenges, hardships and tears, know that I'm gonna be here for you. An old friend from home.

Chin up and smile your silly grin, it's time to conquer the world. =)

When you're in my position, jobless and with very little money, it's having friends like these that makes me feel rich again. Adrienne will reach somewhere someday. Rarrr.

Did you notice...

2010-04-21T17:02:00.001-07:00

that the white letters on the top header spells "PANDA"? Hehe. Like many things in the world, I guess the creator(s) enjoy putting little hidden details, even Microsoft has some. For me, I'd hope for people to notice, but if they don't, I still feel happy thinking that I did something interesting. But as you can see, I can't quite contain my excitement!

In my "busy life", I hope that I never forget to appreciate my surroundings and be surprised with the amount of detail in everything... except bugs and insects. Detail overload in real life! (But them in pictures are coool)

Have a good day :)

Graduation!

2010-04-20T20:03:00.000-07:00

This photo was edited from a friend's album. Congrats to all graduates (especially the petroleum engies because I am biased). A big thank you to everyone who made me feel proud of myself - those who took photos with me, those who wrote on my Facebook wall or made a blog entry on it! Thank you all :)

Dear Blog

2010-04-18T02:54:00.001-07:00

It's been almost half a year since the last post, but nevertheless, I've always thought about you, my dear blog - I've got big plans for us. I wanted to use you to motivate me to learn about digital designs... but it never materialise, because I have been lazy and unmotivated. But mind you, whenever inspiration comes, I think of you and someday, however distant - you would be colourful and full of life.

P/s: I am graduating! Now this means that I'm officially out of uni and unemployed. So to be honest, I'm not excited. Only reason I'm attending this is for my family. Photos up soon, I guess.

Hello World!

2009-10-24T00:08:00.000-07:00

Despite still having a presentation, some reports and assignments - the honours presentation is finally done. I personally could do better but the outcome was pretty okay. A few people said they liked it. I snorted and say thanks. Despite the doubt that they actually meant what they said, I did feel rather satisfied deep inside.

Due to the group assignments and presentations, I actually made some "new" friends. I had always knew they existed, but because of these group activities, we all had a chance to really get to know each other- and these people are really funny and nice. It's been a very hard but good semester. Personally, I'm just too lazy to be this hardworking, but I guess I did - I really pushed myself to the corners of my limit. (Note: We're talking about being alcohol and Facebook free here. And a lot of work)

I'm very slow, since a long time ago... I'm just very slow! Ask my school friends, they can testify. But I think I figured out why. I'm a bloody perfectionist. I think things through in too great a detail that it's unnecessary. I also tend to priorities minutely important things. This is a big flaw that I have to fix. It's a serious problem if I have to work independently - but in a team setting, I reckon it's not too bad a quality to have.

Looking back at my previous posts - I do get very emotional and it's stupid to put these up for public eyes. Guess I might be a closet attention seeker. Now that honours stuff's are out of the way, I'm officially living a normal life again. Such a huge weight off the shoulders. And I'd probably stop posting anything that wreaks the smell and taste of extreme emo-ness.

More happy days ahead I hope. It's my birthday soon but I don't feel like celebrating at all. Too much stuff is due that day and I've got short course all week. I have never asked for a particular birthday present before, except this year. I asked Stephen for a locket some time ago. Not sure if he remembered, he is after all a busy man. Sometimes, I think that the heavy curriculum of the engineering course is so, to prepare us for the tougher road ahead of being an engineer. I'm not exactly looking forward to this but, I have to admit, I am rather excited to say hello to financial independence.

After my exams, I actually feel like researching a bit on religion. I've been a slack lately and losing a lot of faith but I still want to believe. I hope I can find the answers I need to believe again. After all, it was said, "Ask and you will receive, seek and you shall find."

As of now, 2 reports, 1 presentation, 2 exam, a few more assignments and I'm done with my bachelor degree. Four years in a blink of an eye.

Why?

2009-09-07T08:27:00.000-07:00

Why's Adrienne upset over paying $80 for a bunch of photos? I hear my housemates complain about how I showed my discontentment with the decision to take all 32 photos for $480. Listen, if you want to talk about me behind my back, do it professionally... Don't let me hear it. Why don't you just tell it to me face to face?

I am upset because it's a rip off. We're paying too much for things like that. My personal aim was just to get a few decent sized ones, and go. I'm even more upset because it was my idea that we go for the photoshoot. I've got a $121 voucher that I thought I would like to share. I had no idea that it's to pay for only my photo and the photo service. In the end, we didn't have to pay for the professional photography taking session- just the photos; and I really just like a few photos very much.

Now, the most economically viable decision was made but how are we going to divide the photos? There's an inbalance in the number of photos taken. There are more photos of certain people. There are quite a lot of photos of me and Steve. It made me think about what will happen when we have to leave each other. It made me think of what I should do with the photos.

When I'm upset, it's not like I go around muttering curses. I just get realy quiet and I don't smile. Just because I talk and laugh so often, it doesn't mean I'm not vulnerable. I am physically stressed due to lack of sleep, mentally stressed because I have so much uni work that I don't know how to do or proceed and now it's affecting my emotions.

And when I'm upset, I can't stand the sight of happy, chirpy people. They make me regret feeling miserable.

"I'd like to make myself believe, that planet Earth turns slowly"

"It's hard to say I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep"

"Coz everything is never as it seems"

I wish the world would stop for a bit. Give me a break please. Little things are upsetting me when they shouldn't. I should be thankful rather than jealous. I should be happy and take things more lightly. I should, but I'm tired. Hmph, how come I always waste so much time? GRRRR If I can bloody pass this freakin year, at least I can have some pride in calling myself an engineer.

Blah, Adrienne, again, why so serious?

Pubcrawl!

2009-03-13T18:13:00.000-07:00

Engineering Pubcrawl is coming up. I've got a very mixed feeling about this- and every other events anyways. I get very excited about drinking and going to places, but I get very nervous when I have to meet people and socialise. Then it dawned to me that I don't have to do it if I don't want to - I could just hang around the corner, watching people do crazy things and enjoy the company of my closer friends. I feel sorry for Steve though. Haha really sorry, I am socially awkward and I think I am depriving him of his bar moments.

That aside, the Petroleum School Pubcrawl is coming up too and they're having this T-Shirt design competition. I think I did about 3 T-Shirts back in high school, so I'm actually thinking of giving this a try. My classes have started so that got the creative wheel rolling. (My lecture notes have more sketches than notes but still very sparse and very often with chocolate crumbs) If I win, I'll get a free shirt! Lol, and pride of course :)

Procrastination

2009-02-24T08:07:00.001-08:00

The more work I have to do, the more papers I have to read, the more responsibilities I have... the more I procrastinate.

When I have a certain work related commitment (Eg: Assignments, exams, reports etc) I can find amusement in the smallest thing, take delight in the simplest thing, scream at the slightest problem and have a high tendency to learn a new skill.

If ever I get RSI, it's due to the constant finger stretch to hit the F5 button.

2009-02-03T14:17:00.000-08:00

Interesting that I started writing in blogs since 2005 - but never really done one before. Surely that depicted how dedicated I am to the blogging world.

Haircut

2009-01-27T17:34:00.000-08:00

I had so many disasterous haircuts in the past - eventhough they're always the same style. Or end up the same way. I hated haircuts. I hated how I look after every haircut. I hated how my mom had to drag me by my scalp to get my to the place of mass destruction. I hated how my mom knows the hair butcher lady so well that they could chat forever while the butcher woman multitasked by cutting my hair.

Oh come on. A lot of girls say that they have miscommunication problems with the hair dresser. When I think back, it's no miscommunication problem for my case. It was the total lack of communication. The sin of silence. Oh my beloved hair, I did not do you justice! Oh, back in the days when I was so submissive to mom in matters like this.

Now, whenever I get a haircut, I tell the hair person to just cut whatever they think is suitable for me. I just need some layers to not make it so flat. I still freak out after every haircut. I feel a little different. It's awkward. Most people don't even notice I got my hair trimmed. Last few haircuts have been my breakthrough moments. Got a fringe by accident - and I actually liked it. It gives me cheaper fares on the bus sometimes because I look like a high schooler but I always get asked for a proof of age everytime I purchase alcohol. The following haircut, about 6 inches were chopped off under the influence of my Thai friend. I honestly think it's too short - and I look like Chibimaruko-chan. Yet, I enjoy the thrill of change; that fresh feeling.

So.. to fringe, or not to fringe? That is my question. I'll find out next week I guess, this week to too hot for me to walk more than 100m under the sun.

I could not ask for more: Part 2

2009-01-06T06:47:00.000-08:00

This was on my housemate's msn personal message:

"It's not our pain of being torn. It's our pain of not being one."

Farewells and goodbyes, are fine when I'm secured with the knowledge that we will meet again soon enough, and that when we meet, circumstances are still quite the same. Oh, farewells and goodbyes, are also very fine if I don't like you.

I have to be honest. It's not fine when I will significantly miss them. It's not fine if I don't get to talk to them again. It's not fine when I have a dependency on them and suddenly that privilege is stripped from me. Yet time after time, it's proven that things would be better eventually. We'll all be better in time.

(Official accompanying background song: Better In Time performed by Leona Lewis)

I could not ask for more: Part 1

2009-01-06T06:02:00.000-08:00

Farewells and goodbyes are the hardest thing for me. I've seen them so often but I can never get used to seeing people leave the pages of my life's story. I was 10, and there was Grace. We played in class, laughed with each other and even got scolding together. Yes, Ms Geetha, I remember you smacking my head with my exercise book in Moral class, woman. It was very ethical and professional of you. The following year, Grace got transferred to another school.

I struggled for a bit. My grades were pretty bad and I never took liking in doing homework. (Art is exceptional) Got close to Su Ching. We use the same car pool to get back from school. Mom borrowed her math exercise books for me to catch up on the entire year's math homework. Math made sense ever since. (but that's before uni came) We got really close. She went to another school the following year as well.

I cried on both occasions. Did I do anything wrong?

I was 12. I started to draw manga characters; heavily influenced by Sailormoon. I could only afford to get 1 comic at a time so I chose Dragon Ball - a manga I've been following since I was 9. Kok Quin lent me the Sailormoon and I remembered how we had to smuggle them in school. We drew our own manga and exchanged opinions. We were really passionate about them. Kok Quin was also the one and only person in my life, in which I had a cold war with. I'm not sure how long it lasted but I remember quite clearly how it ended:

It was after the exams and the Physical Exercise class was optional. A few was left in class and we accidentally talked to each other. The awkwardness soon died and we were talking as comfortably as before.

K Q: Hey Adrienne, do you think we could be friends again?
(the latter of the sentence came out like random mumbles)
Adr: Huh?
K Q: Uh never mind.
But I heard every word
Adr: K Q, we're always friends.

We smiled. More of grinned actually. And guess what was the first thing we said to each other? "LET ME READ YOUR COMIC!!" I was so short, so slow and always behind the crowd, she even had to read my UPSR results for me. That year itself, we graduated from primary school.

A month later, I got the offer letter to St George's. She's the first person I called. She got it too. Always remember, Adrienne, everything happens for a greater reason - eventhough it doesn't seem like it at the present.

When the Chicken Separates O'Clock

2009-01-01T17:42:00.000-08:00

UngracefulPanda : When are you cooking, babe?
AwesomePossum : When the chicken separates.
UngracefulPanda : (Thought she heard something else) What time is dinner?
AwesomePossum : When the chicken separates.

So the two pieces of frozen maryland was stuck together and he shall cook for yours ungracefully when-the-chicken-separates o'clock. Took a lot of brainpower to decipher this; so the ungraceful one decided to take a nap to make up for all the lost power.

She woke up to a peck on the cheek, a *huge* plate of pasta, roasted maryland and a bottle of white wine. Life is good.

Just another notebook

2008-10-20T09:35:00.000-07:00

My Painted Canvas is just another notebook. Just another archive of my rants. I was reading my older blogs and I feel different hence the need to waste more precious minutes to open a new blog! Anyways, I felt like I've entered another chapter of my life. It's just a different chapter, not necessarily more mature etc. In fact, I'd seem more wise and composed in my earlier blog. Well, those were the days. Cheers to then, and this, this is for now; however temporary it may be.

My blog posts are usually lengthy. As much as I want to include every intrinsic detail- I prefer things short and simple these days. We'll see how it goes.

Yours ungracefully,
Adrienne
