Update failure
Affirmative... it is correct, utterly true, incomprehensibly of no nonsensical matter...
I have not updated for a very long time
Very very long time
Very
Truly
Very
HOWEVER... what I may do is do another bonsai gallery slideshow thing like I did a few years back (somewhere in this blog the old one is)
This time I have lots of new stuff and I will say this in the most humble way: I think I have clearly improved =)

A Dream...
Let's see: a dream
What dream?
The ultimate! (for me... that is...)
See... I would like.. no LOVE to be able to work with Bonsai/Penjing full time
The thought of it gets me so pumped =D
So now, I am going to make a plan and list, the pros and cons, the (potential) struggles and the (potential) outcomes
PLAN from now!
2009
- Learn like hell... enough said. Get into workshops, read, watch videos, TALK TO MASTERS, LOOK AT TREES.
Be more humble in the art, gain wisdom and the way, understand the stances (and potentially the politics) that masters take... rid the mind of the bias and take my own neutral stance.
- Save up cash, get work experience at Bonsai nurseries (Oh I WILL try)
- Continue on with my degree
- Learn more Japanese and try to establish some stronger connections with the international bonsai/penjing people
2009 Summer holidays = If money and exchange rate lets me, I would like to do a 3-4 month apprenticeship at Urushibata's Bonsai School in Shizuoka, Japan.
2010
- Pretty much same as above, aim for more apprenticeship-ness and Japan travelling
But really... there is so much to think about...
I cannot forget that family exists, and that from what I see at the moment, the fact that I can finish my degree then get myself into full time employment and support the family seems a priority.
What now?
I also must remember that I wrote that up as MY plan... at this point I have no self assurance that it is God's will, even if that plan sounds grand and awesome.
Well, what I think I really need to do: is to pray and ask God for a lit path for me to follow.
Really though, enough of doubt, God's way is the best way... I really need to just put trust in Him and seek Him out first...
I could be over-reacting, heh, but is no doubt that God should be first and all will follow after.

Hmm...
Well, the holidays have come...
indeedy-do... the most troubling fact is the FACT that I am somewhat bored at this point.
Most likely because of numerous constraints
1) Well... money is always a constraint
2) I'm not allowed to ride my bike around in free will because mum is afraid of drunken drivers being stupid *sigh*
3) Tasks such as... house chores? Finding work? (which I actually have, but I want another one)
4) Most people still have exams now, fair enough of course
Speaking of which, the last week til portfolio hand in was hell, battling a freaking nasty fever + the little time to get portfolio in was not pleasant. I still clearly remember the two days of delirious shivering and splitting headaches, nausea and all that hoo hah that is not particularly pleasant.
Well at least its over, and I have lots of time on hand now, oh hang on... thats right, I've been bored recently >_>
Ok, enough sarcastic remarks and emo rantings, some NICE things to waffle on about
(mm... waffles, I havent had waffles for a LONG TIME, I must cook some tomorrow!!!)
Lets see:
I've recently taken an interest in singing... now, as odd as it may sound to be, singing is somewhat a really pleasant activity, despite the fact that my singing is lousy, the cool thing is though that some mates seem to be quite encouraging for me to sing, so thats really nice :)
Though I am not too sure if PARTYWORLD is the best place to really start o_o
Right now, the songs that I'm addicted to are
Juunigatsu no Love Song - Gackt
With you - Chris Brown
For you I will - Teddy Geiger
周华健 - 雨人
mm, waffles, oh the cravings!
I've seriously noticed recently, and its either that I'm realising it now, or that these remarks are flying at me more often... but ALOT of people keep saying I look freaking 14 - 15...
Ok... thats a reeeeeeeeeaaaaaalllllllllyy nice compliment (and IM SURE ITS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS THAT YOU LOOK YOUNGER THAN YOUR REAL AGE)
But I really don't know if "You won't be able to find any girl to be your hearts love around your age cause you look too young and thin" is somewhat encouraging...
MEH, not my problem :)
I really want those waffles now... crunchy luscious sweet waffles fresh off the pan, covered with chilly ice cream and the finest of maple syrups.
Help.

I'M ALIVE!... slightly!
Hey there again!
It's been quite a while since the last post, (May 2008! heck! That was... AUTUMN! hah hah hah).
Well, ever since that time, many a thing has happened, by jove yes.
A few months of blood, sweat, laughter, fun, cheerfulness, regrets, strange surges of confidence, adrenaline rushes, building relationships, relaxaaaaation...
What can I say? It's life!
Firstly, Uni... heh, Uni... it has been a very rough ride, oh so very rough. Landscape Architecture is a very demanding course, its little wonder why RMIT is known as the best design school in Melbourne!
This semester I have been working on Moonee Ponds Creek.. its a vast site, and smells weird. Unfortunately it is polluted, remnants of mankinds destruction and carelessness for nature, some students are actually addressing this issue in their designs!
Speaking of which, the final presentation is due in this Friday! And next Monday is the presentation! So intense, I'm not sure if I can make this last run with enough breath...
We'll see =) Though actually, I can easily finish, just that I'm playing perfectionist so I'm putting lots more work on myself, it might be worth! For I am also entering in a Landscaping competition! Judge by a panel of high authority! The winner takes home $$$ (I think!)
Next! The Optoms... yep! Over this year, I have been hanging around with First year optometry students at MU... lots. I've gotten to know them, and quite well now, I must say... it is so pleasant to hang around with them. A few eccentrics, interesting characters, some sweet people and couple of peeps whom I've known before hanging around with the optoms.
I feel quite normal and happy when hanging around MU hah hah.
Of course, I've got mates at Landscape Archi! The usual ALL NIGHTER crew! hah hah, lets see... mostly Hiro and Rajiv... we are ALWAYS in the labs... working like mad, rushing and stressing. Awesome times guys! Hah hah
So lots of happy times amongst the CRAZILY STRESSING times!!!
Besides, I've got many plans for the holidays coming up! Highly anticipating!! ^^
And there are a lot of... stresses and pains too... but I might save that for another post... at the moment, I think I've got it in control...
Don't want to ruin the mood of this post! It's been happy so far!!
Hmm, so many people I need to catch up with, mostly MHS people and many others... if you are ready this and wanna catch up, just yell!! Hah hah!
Rightyo! I've got plenty more to talk about! But need to sleep, this week is gonna be HECTIC!!
Signing off....
