rant

I'm here to release my frustrations this time round.

I'm dead tired now actually and it's time for bed but i cant go to sleep just yet.
I've still need to memorise my speech for tomorrow's presentation, I still need to clean the house for the house inspection tomorrow.
The thing i dont like about sharing houses is when the others does not pull their own weight in cleaning the house. It's winter term and everyone is suppose to clean the house but it seems that its only me that cleans it most of the time.
Once in awhile another would help me.
I'me already sick and tired of being the one that mostly takes out the trash.
After the bin has been left even when its full, more trash still ends up on it and it just becomes really heavy to bring out. For the pass 3 weeks i have been taking the trash out.
I dont know what else to say already. Im really going to break down if the admin charge me cleaning fee if the condition of the house is not up to their standards.

apart from that, i had seemed to loose my motivation to study.
I know that i dont really have the right to complain about this but I just really want to say it out hoping that i might feel much better after this.
I so far had not had a real break since the beginning of the year when the semester started.
even when there was public holidays or a no class period, i had been stressed in trying to finish off the assignments.
I really dont know how all workers are able to work through the year and I dont hear a single complain about it.
the people around are on break but i had taken the internship unit to lessen my study load for semester 2 resulting in no breaks at all. I guess i really brought it onto myself.
I couldn't not take up winter term as my timetable last year was messed up due to the clashing of timetables so i'm still stuck doing winter without break.

i'm right now afraid of what might happen when i do finish my studies.
i'm also afraid of failing my subjects that i'm currently taking.
i'm afraid of not getting a job to support myself.
i'm afraid of going back.
i'm afraid of moving forward.
i'm afraid of just about loads of things.

i now do noticed that i've lived a really sheltered life thanks to my parents.
They had kept in safe from harm and i'm now here about to step into the real world.
i do know that i'm i dare not take that step but i had to.
i can't be stagnant as time waits for no one.
I don't know what to do already....

i'm even making myself feeling more depressed now.
I should stop. I do hope that a good sleep would help.
fingers crossed.

i really should get back to doing what i need to do if not the night would even be longer
= an even grumpier me.

i shall be back when the time is better....

PS: sorry ppl for having to read this is you had. hope you all had/ will have a better outlook of life

A second time

Hey everyone,

How have you all been? It's already winter over here and it's pretty cold.
To those of you in countries that are currently experiencing winter,
remember to bundle up in lots of blankets to keep yourself warm!

The plans book for the Global IAA Competition on Canon is already done and sent.
I've also started my winter term for one of the subjects that I had to take.

well, it's been awhile since I had been posting here. Thinking back now, I've been writing in my reflective journal for the 'internship' as part of an assessment so I didn't feel like writing in my blog.
hehehe XP

Since it's over so here I am now to share on something thats happened to me.
Just recently, I had blacked out in my bus ride to Belconnen Mall.
I actually had to get some cleaning supplies as well as groceries for the house.
It was getting dark and I knew that I would not reach there by foot before it the sun set so
rushed for the bus. I managed to get on the bus and when I got on, I could feel that my heartbeat was really fast and it felt like it was about to pumped out of my chest.
Next thing I know, I started to feel weird - like my body just felt cold as if my blood was drained.
I couldn't pin point the exact feelings I felt but that time,
I couldn't really hear the songs playing on my ipod (it was like I was loosing my sense of hearing) and my visual was slowly turning dark.
I knew that I was about to faint but I couldn't stop it.

I held onto a nearby pole and leaned against the baggage area of the bus praying to God that i'll be alright.
When I came to my senses, I wasn't standing in the exact position that I had before I lost my conscious but thank God I wasn't on the ground.
It took me all my might to get myself back up and get into a nearby seat that was just vacated.
The bus then stopped at the terminal and I waited until everyone left before getting off myself.
I quickly went straight to the chairs at the terminal and sat there for another 5 to 10 minutes till I regained back most of my energy.
When I could finally move my arms properly, I took off my coat and scarf while the people around were in their big cosy coats. I was drenched in cold sweat.

I then continued on to get the groceries and supplies. I never quite gained back all my energy that night but it was enough for me to buy the things i needed and get back home.
Ever since that day, I sorta try not to get onto buses unless I really do need to.

I wasn't sure why it happened but I really do thank God that I didn't fall onto the floor in the bus and that I knew how fainting would feel like since I did faint in a clinic before.
I guess it sure comes in handy that you know if you're going to faint and try not to do so.
I can't imagine what would happen if I really did fainted and ended up on the floor.
I would have caused trouble to the people on the bus.

The thing i hate about knowing that I was about to loose conscious is that I couldn't do anything to stop it. It took me all my might to just hold onto the pole.
I felt so powerless and not knowing of what might happen next.
I hated myself for that.
anyway, that was my encounter.
I hope no one have or will have to experience this.
It's not a nice feeling at all.

I hope everyone will be fine and do take care!!

Copywritting

Hey ppl!
it took longer than i expected to post up my work on the assignment that i told you about in the last post.

It's nothing fancy actually. I wanted to upload more but it so happen that the files are in pdf and i cant upload it here. There's a magazine piece i did with a transparency too and i was hoping that i would get it back from the tutor (so that i can take a picture of it) but it seems that I would not be able to.

He's on a holiday. We'll he is suppose to be around but his wife planned a 'surprise' holiday to Fiji.
so he's not around. anyway, what i have left that i can post here is the ambient media and the billboard.

oh yea, just to fill you all in,

Copywriting isn't the subject on Law. haha
It's a subject for advertising and marketing.

So, what we were told to do is to come up with a campaign for Alfa Romeo Giulietta and the whole idea/tagline for it. The campaign must run using 5 different media.

What i came up was : Live and Relive the moment.

the tagline used is live and relive the moment, with a little extra.
The 5 different media i chose was Radio, TVC, ambient, billboard and print.

I really dont havve the mood to go into details for this as im currently really worried about my marks for this. It's 50% of my whole grade and i do hope i did well for it.
I really did struggled when i was o this assignment. Since i did say that i'd post this up so here it is.
so the medias are as follows:

Radio Script – 30 seconds

I'm definately not on the creative side so it's not as nice as i'd like it to be. It's the best i can do.
It has also been ages since i last spent loads of time on photoshop.
