Sleepy

January 28th, 2012 by Meg

I am SO tired.
My sleeping habit has become so messed up nowadays, I can’t fall asleep until like 3AM and I sleep in until it’s almost lunch time.

Today I went to Yumcha with the family, then my aunty and uncle took us out and we ended up going to a warehouse where I bought myself a shoe rack thingy that is actually not a rack but a soft shelf.

Then my brother and I went to their house to watch Up on DVD since we hadn’t seen it before. Long overdue, I know. It was so sweet, I actually really liked it. We even watched the Bonus features which made me feel like travelling to South America and also painting, LOL.

Went to a Swedish pizza place for dinner, it was delicious.

Well, I’m falling asleep so I’ll just type everything I think even if it’s completely incoherent.

My room is clean. What a rare occasion. It’s like it has increased in size or something.

I’m ridiculously addicted to Fairytail. I went from episode 42-72 in a day. That’s what happens when you’re home all day, left to your own devices.

I had my first driving lesson on Friday.
It was okay I think.

I need to buy more organisational stuff, been kind of addicted to organising my room lately although some parts are still a mess and my clothes are spewing out of my wardrobe.

I wish my paintings wouldn’t fall down when I open the window.

Shower then nap. Or Fairytail. Maybe. Only like 20 episodes to go until I am up to date.


More Uni Stuff

So I’ve been addicted to Fairy Tail lately. Despite the fact it follows the typical battle kind of structure, I really like it LOL.

Anyway yesterday was my enrolment day. At first I was wandering around like a lost loner then I saw Michelle who was trying to proxy for Hilary, as well as Lea yen, Sab, Yash and later, James who’re all doing Comm/Law with me. Haha, I was surprised we had a pretty big group already.

Blahblah I can’t be stuffed going through all the lecture stuff. We got homework already, LOL. Gotta go to court and stuff in preparation for this 2000 word essay -.-’

Also, I spent a lot of money already. Gonna be sah poor by the end of this, sighhh.

More later. Kind of tired and watching Fairy Tail. Haha.


Ramble, ramble

January 22nd, 2012 by Meg

Today is not only Chinese New Year’s Eve, but also Bryan and my 11 month anniversary.

Well, technically it isn’t an “anni”-versary seeing as it isn’t annual. But you get what I mean. Actually it’s the first month-versary we’ve had apart. :( Luckily we get to talk via the internet anyway. He’s coming home soon.

Yesterday I went and rewatched Tintin in 3D with my aunty, uncle and brother since my bro hadn’t seen it yet.

I also did my stupid Allocate+ crap for uni, why is it so confusing?  And Marketing has the most annoying timetable.   Don’t have to do marketing yet :D

Today I have a family get together at my grandparents house for Chinese New Year, which should be fun.

My brother has to read The Hunger Games for school, which I have been hearing a lot of hype about anyway. I’m going to read it- but honestly the hype it’s been getting is really annoying. I hate how people compare it to Twilight or Harry Potter. Actually I hated it when Twilight was compared to Harry Potter as well.

If I’m being totally honest, I loved Twilight when I first read it and it wasn’t the least bit popular. LOL people go all “eww” when you say you like Twilight; I’m not saying it was written well or had an amazing storyline or whatever. But I give credit where credit is due- if Meyer wrote it to make unsuspecting teenaged girls fall in love with the male characters, and consequently, make them fall in love with the series; she was highly successful. Whether or not it is a good piece of writing is another story- but it had to have something in the way she portrayed her characters or the way she described things that made it that effective to a mass audience. And so, I will not be afraid to admit that as a naive teenage girl, I fell for it, and liked it.  [EXCEPT THE MOVIES, EEEEWW]

Now I’m at a loss. I generally dislike those people that hate something just because it’s popular or mainstream. Because why does popularity make a difference? It’s still the same thing. And generally, when something becomes popular, there is a REASON for it— because it’s good. Or catchy or something.

But I also dislike it when things I originally liked become overly popular as well. And I kind of hate myself for it— for the reasons mentioned above. I can’t really explain why I don’t like it. It’s like all these people think they know more about it than you now that they just discovered it. Maybe I’m just too proud, LOL. Hypocritical much?

Anyway back to the point- Twilight may be a good or bad book in it’s own right, but why compare it to Harry Potter? They are two completely different books about different things. Just like The Hunger Games is different as well. You CAN’T fairly compare them. Ugh so frustrating.

Okay, I’m done. Now off to read the Hunger Games.


Why

January 21st, 2012 by Meg

After my website disappeared, I contemplated whether to remake or not.

At first I was kind of leaning towards not. I mean, what is the point of buying a domain when you’re just going to blog on it? It’s not just that, but I also already purchased Nivos.us. So why?

I guess what makes Daydreamt different is this: when I closed my other sites, Fatal-Act and Unfairytale; I was ready. I was bored of them, I got tired of them. They weren’t really linked to my real life events; they were just there. I didn’t regret letting them go.

But Daydreamt. I don’t know why but I actually feel sad that I lost all my posts. It feels more like losing memories than anything else, although really- they are still alive in my head. The name, too. I wanted a name that had the word “dreamt” in it, after one of my favourite bands songs; the Dandy Warhols, who have managed to keep themselves on my ~favourites~ list for ages now. I guess I thought up Daydreamt on a limb. It happened to be a real word, though an uncommon one. It happened to sound pretty, but not cliche enough to make me dislike it. It’s relatable to what I do on the site- dream and ramble, write down thoughts that spur from daily wonderings. I don’t know why, but I am attached to the name.

And then I decided to keep it. I would kick myself if I lost the name to some idiot that waits for domains to expire to snatch them up and sell them for a few thousand dollars. LOL.

Haha, I must sound so crazy attached. I guess I am. I love blogging and I love owning a site. It’s been years— I almost can’t remember not having one. Even back in grade 4 I had a website on a crappy free domain, wishing I could afford an actual .com or .net or .org. I can’t really explain it- the excitment I had when I got to own my own for the first time. LOL my internet baby.


Many weeks worth of blog

January 21st, 2012 by Meg

Where should I begin?
Well in short, Daydreamt has undergone some major renovations. I don’t like this layout as much as the old site but this isn’t so bad. I’ve moved all the resources that I had backed up to my new project with Mary, Nivosus, which means “snowy” in Latin. That site will contain resources, guides and tutorials.

This site is now officially my personal blog only, as well as (possibly) a feed for my blogspot posts on my kind of unadvertised webmag, Obvsly. Only a feed because I doubt I’ll keep up with Obvsly when school’s on again.

Basically, Daydreamt is my free-for-all, I’m not limited to making it a resource site anymore, nor am I bound to that typical celebrity style layout. But I did decide to feature Audrey Hepburn on this one anyway, ’cause I felt like it.

So what has life been up to lately?

Well life took me to Queensland for a week. My parents couldn’t take my brother and I, so my Aunty and Uncle generously took us on the trip. To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever been on a legitly scary ride up until the Gold Coast. I tried almost every ride that was listed under “thriller” in Movie World and Wet n Wild. I also went to Sea World which was surprisingly a lot of fun too, I really like looking at animals; it made me feel like a little kid again. Anyway back to rides: the Lethal Weapon was the scariest in my opinion, though Bryan says when he went, the Superman was the best. I think the Scoobydoo ride was the most fun though, just because I expected it to be crappy like the Haunted train thing in Luna Park, only to be pleasantly shocked.

Well, maybe some of you out there have been to Queensland heaps of times but for me it was a pretty big deal because, well…

I’ve never been on a plane before now.

And let me tell you, I do not like plane trips from my experience. I chewed gum, I pinched my nose and tried to pop my ears, I listened to music- I did everything and nothing worked.

My ears KILLED. Does everyone get that feeling? It really, really hurt in my ears and I couldn’t do crap about it.

Our apartment was just across the road to Surfers Paradise. It is a beautiful beach. The sand is gorgeous, the water is lovely. The sunset view is really pretty. I wish I could have spent more time there.

You know where else I wish I could have spent time in though?

The spa. LOL. It wasn’t an amazing spa but it was so relaxing and warm. ^___^

So Bryan has been overseas now for nearly a month. I still miss him. I hope time flies.

Oh and I got into Comm/Law at Monash Clayton! :D So exciting.

It’s late.
Just a blog before bed to bring in the (Chinese) New Year <3
