Friday, March 21, 2003 hey folks !!!!! it's the weekend !!wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!! so excited *gasps for breath* such a busy week. no time to reply to email or anything like that .. not that i've been receiving anything other than crap from crushlink. so silly.
my week's been busy (i think i've said that already) but too much stuff to type about. and it's all been revolving around uni. designing, model making etc etc etc, so i'll spare u the details. ooh but i did watch requiem for a dream. it's all about addictions and how it's turns you into a writhing ball of pathetic-ness. go watch go watch !! =)) i thought it would be really boring .. u know 'coz it has the word "requiem" in the title .. i know that's such an airhead thing to say but it's true !! i think requiem, i think church.
*anyway* other than that, how've u guys been ?? yvonne ?! where are u ?! how's uq ?? tell meeeee no need to email if u have no time .. just drop a comment thing on the comments box. if it works. and if u read this blog still. deeeeeeeeeeeee n yeeeeeeeeeee >> have u decided what to do ?? like uni n all. please don't say nus ..
willyyyyyyyyyyyyyy >> what're u up to ?!
i'm so behind with all this stuff .. being in studio* is like being in a time warp. the rest of the world just moves on without you. speaking of studio, we've been doing "explorations of lines in space". it's supposed to be all abstract and stuff, possibilities are endless sort of thing. quite fun !! we've welded and made cardboard models (but not welded the cardboard models for those who were going to make that comment). um .. yeah. the point is, after doing all that lines in space stuff, u really do start seeing lines everywhere. look at a building n go "ooh ! lines lines lines !!" shadow - lines. water - lines. table - lines. cartoon - lines. it really does drive u mad. but good mad =)
