Holy crap, I can't believe it's been over 2 months since I last blogged. Forgive my slackness!!! As always, I will endeavour to blog more but knowing my laziness, it's not guaranteed. Instead of writing a 10 000 word essay on what I've been doing the last 2ish months, I'll be cryptic and write it out in my [formerly] monthly catharsis.
1. This has gotta stop... but old habits die hard.
2. Too much spendage, not enough saveage.
3. The oldness has really started to kick in.
4. 7ish months left to go. That time's gonna fly by so fast.
5. Feel like giving up on this.
6. Why do I always have a soft spot for you? I know you're no good for me.
7. And you too? You'll never see me that way.
8. Need to stop blending in. Gotta stand out somehow.
9. Nice girls finish last too.
10. Been an aunt for over a month now. Can't wait for babysitting duties.
11. I'll miss you muchly when you're gone. I know it.
12. Don't want to talk... all I hear is noise...
13. Can't wait 'til you're back. It's been way too long.
14. So glad you're back. It's all back to basics with you.
15. So much to do, slowly running outta time.
16. Crap, getting to this again.
17. Thanks for the eye-opening experience.
18. When's my turn to be #1?
19. Must. clean. NOW.
20. Need [good] sleep.
21. Need [good] alone time.
22. Where'd you go? I was so into you at the start of this year.
23. If I lose you, I'm gonna cry.

The year that was 2009
Firstly, I'd like to say a belated HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 to everyone I haven't already said it to!! 2009 was a pretty kickass year compared to previous years and usually, I like to reflect on it by completing this quiz. I'm too lazy to write down a whole story about my feelings on the year so this is what you get.
1. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?
Just to name a few,
- I went to Japan and it was also my first trip overseas with friends
- I played for money in mah jong
- I went camping
- I went mini-golfing
- I learned and performed a dance routine in front of people
- I went to a magic show
There's heaps more but it's pretty random stuff.
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don't believe I made any resolutions. I always end up forgetting my resolutions like a week later anyway. I probably said some crap like 'I need to study harder, get fit, organise myself better' etc etc and if I did, I didn't keep them. The only resolution I wanna make this year is that I wanna be a better person. It's pretty general, but there's many facets of my life I need to improve right now.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Nope, but my sis is due to give birth to my niece next month =)
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Yeah, and it really, really sucks 'cause I hadn't seen her for years and years =(

Japan. I am so going back someday.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I can't think of anything particularly big. I'll just say that I've learned a lotta lessons about myself and the people around me.
9. What was your biggest failure?
I didn't realise until the end of the year that I was kinda unhappy in my life 'cause I'm stuck in a bit of a rut with a degree that is taking forever and a job that I should've quit a long, long time ago. All good, I know now so it's time for me to do something about it this year!!
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I got the chicken pox early on in the year but other than that, nothing too bad.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Concert tickets, my plane tickets to Melbourne, Sydney and Japan, and I'd love to say my portable hard drive but it's a little too early to tell right now.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
As I say every year, everyone who graduated and found themselves full-time jobs. Well done and congrats!!!
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
For some part of the year, I'd have to say my own behaviour.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Food, b'day pressies, travelling.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
All the trips I went on this year. I travelled to Melbourne, Sydney and Japan this year which is a bit of a high for me 'cause I normally don't travel so much and it's been 5 years since I last went overseas.
16. What song will always remind you of 2009?
'I'm On a Boat' and 'Jizz In My Pants' by Lonely Island
'Gee' by Girls Generation
'Sorry Sorry' by Super Junior

i. happier or sadder? Happier
ii. thinner or fatter? Fatter *sighs*
iii. richer or poorer? Maybe slightly richer
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
The usual things - exercise, study, cleaning, sleeping, reading. I'm sure there's way more.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
The usual once again - bitching, whinging, procrastinating, lazing around.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Last year, I had a nice lunch with family and spent the day chilling since it was a day off from my hardcore work schedule. Not sure what this Christmas will bring.
22. Did you fall in love in 2009?
Nope, I wasn't really up for it in 2009.

My portable hard drive, new phone, several holidays, tickets to P!nk, Beyonce, Jay Chou and David Copperfield and way more.
29. What did you want and not get?
A new job, no 4s for my subjects, a clean room, a better phone, the list goes on.
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
Not a lot to choose from this year. 'The Hangover' was pretty damn funny and 'Mao's Last Dancer' was way more enjoyable than I thought. I'd also say 'Red Cliff' but I haven't seen the 2nd part yet.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I turned 22 in 2009 and I probably had a few too many b'day celebrations. Kicked things off by hosting a gambling day/night at my place which in the end, wasn't much of a b'day thing at all, then had dinner at Pane e Vino with another group, then had my official b'day thing at my place again. I didn't do all these things at once just so you guys know hehe
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
I'm sure I can name more than one thing. I'll just say a new job.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2009?
The same as it's always been... black with some colour thrown in every so often.
34. What kept you sane?
Friends, family, music, sleep.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Lee Dong Wook and now Lee Min Ho. OMG, I couldn't stop perving on LDW in 'My Girl' and now I can't stop perving on LMH in 'Boys Over Flowers'. Their leading ladies are so lucky they get to kiss them.
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
I'm a bit worried about how Anna Bligh's running our state right now. Other than that, I don't like to get into politics.
37. Who did you miss?
A few of my friends who are currently overseas and some friends I hadn't caught up with in a while.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
I met a lotta awesome new people in 2009. I really can't pick one.
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2009.
Hope for the best but prepare for the worst so you won't get any nasty surprises.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter...
1. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?
Just to name a few,
- I went to Japan and it was also my first trip overseas with friends
- I played for money in mah jong

30+ things a tourist MUST do in Japan...
I've been back in the good ol' city of Brissy for 3 days now and one of the things I'm really gonna miss about being a tourist in Japan is the number of things you can get away with just because you're a tourist [and because we can hehe]. I've compiled a list of the absurd things some, most, or all the people I was with in Japan did while we were there:
1. Took photos with all the typical people you find in Japan [geishas, sumo wrestlers, school kids, samurais, Harajuku girls, cosplayers]
2. Took penis and pissing photos with some of Japan's landmarks
3. Took photos of people who slept weirdly on the train
4. Took photos of funny Engrish signs and funny Jap signs and posters
5. Constantly changed Kal's Facebook and MSN status to really inappropriate things [this is more because we could, not because we were tourists muahahahhahaa]
6. Listened to music out loud in public
7. Sang Linkin Park songs at the top of our lungs while walking back to the hotel quite drunk
8. Sang 'Gee' by Girls Generation at the top of our lungs at karaoke even though the only words everyone could properly sing to was 'Gee Gee Gee Gee baby baby baby baby'
9. Ninja ran through a busy train station
10. Ninja ran across Shibuya crossing [one of the busiest intersections in the world]
11. Played Big 2 on a busy train using the aisle for the discard pile
12. Played Big 2 sitting on the sidewalk while waiting for a bus
13. Played Big 2 in an onsen
14. Played Big 2 sitting on the floor at Narita airport
15. Played Big 2 and mah jong at coin laundries
16. Played mah jong with 4 people on the top bunk of a bunk bed
17. Constantly yelling out inappropriate Jap words and phrases in public like お元気ですか？['o genki desu ka? which is meant to mean 'How are you?' but stupidly, I told the guys it meant 'How you doing?' and it kept getting brought up as a pick up line >_<"], 気持ち ['kimochi' which means 'It feels good'] and おっぱい ['oppai' which means 'tits' for those of you playing at home]
18. Pretending we knew Jap by adding です [desu] at the end of every English phrase or word [e.g. telephone です, bill です, yes です]
19. When we didn't know a Jap word or phrase, acting out the word or phrase or by drawing pictures [this is a LOT funnier than what I make it out to be]
20. Paying for things which only cost a few hundred yen [equivalent to less than AU$10] with 10000 yen notes [equivalent to about AU$120]
21. Paying for meals which cost about AU$200 with lots of coins [and by lots, I'm talking about using at least 50 coins ranging from 1 yen to 500 yen]
22. Made up English subtitles for Japanese dramas on TV
23. Created Asian roadblocks in busy places
24. Stood on the train in one straight line staring in one direction, then would periodically change directions throughout the train trip
25. Jogged in and out of the train in a straight line
26. Crab walked out of the train in a straight line
27. Ghost walked in a straight line at the train station
28. Trying to bypass people who work at the train station with expired Japan Rail passes
29. Used Japanese pick up lines at the clubs
30. Wore 浴衣 ['yukata', meaning a traditional Japanese robe] and 下駄 ['geta', meaning Japanese sandals] everywhere from the theatre to the restaurant... we even wore them to sleep on some nights!!
I know there's way more to add to the list but we either didn't get around to doing it, we didn't think about doing it or I've just forgotten to write about it here. Feel free to add to the list and I'll have to make sure I do it or the people I'm with do it next time we're in Japan or in another foreign country hehe
On a related note, I wanna thank the group I was with in Japan for most or all of the trip [Go, Charles, Jess, Djay, Steph, Kal and Nick] for making the Japan trip the awesome time it was. It's been a lotta fun bonding with and getting to know you guys, doing all the touristy things, eating great food, sharing millions of jokes and payouts, and you guys know the rest... you were all there with me hehe I look forward to seeing all the photos and vids again and we'll have to have some kinda Japan trip reunion soon!!

This is me... then.
I was looking at my blog from 4 years ago [Holy crap, I've been blogging for THAT long now???] and it's funny reading over stuff I've done or things I said back then hehe It also shows how much I've changed and grown up in the last 4 years. It hasn't been an easy process, but now that I look back, I don't think I'd change much, if anything at all. If I did, I know I wouldn't be the person I am today and not to be too full of myself or anything, but I think i cleaned up alright =P
This is me then.
In 2005,
1. I went through phases of being addicted to something. There was a Scratchies phase, reading manga, reciting Russell Peters quotes, going to the casino, the list goes on.
2. I was going through the awkward transition of uni life.
3. I hung out at Replay a lot.
4. I tasted alcohol and went clubbing for the first time. It was what all the cool kids [well, everyone turning 18 at the time] were doing.
5. I rambled on a lot.
6. I got out of my 3ish year relationship. And I realised just how naive I was about the concept of 'love'.
7. I was hooked on TVB dramas. I dunno how I found time to go out.
8. I was always bitching about my finances. Then again, I bitched about a lotta things.
9. I was learning how to drive.
10. Even though some friendships started to blossom at this time, others were really put to the test.
11. My love for coffee started.
12. I started my job at Myer.
This is me now.
In 2009,
1. I still go through phases of being addicted to something. This year has consisted of phases of mah jong, Mrs Field's cookies, DDR, poker, pool, going to concerts, footy tipping, Restaurant City, chai tea from 3 Monkeys, reciting quotes such as 'It don't matter!' and 'BL la!!', Max Brenner and Korean music, just to name a few.
2. I've settled into uni life and now all I wanna do is graduate and get out!!!
3. I hung out at Replay a lot in the first half of the year, then the name changed to Timezone and I rarely go in now.
4. I'm pretty much over the alcohol and clubbing phase. Don't worry, I still drink and I still go clubbing. It's just not really my scene now.
5. I still ramble a lot. But I save it for my blog and for friends that I vent to.
6. I've been single for almost 2 years. And I really think I've forgotten what it feels like to be in a relationship and to care about someone in THAT way. Oh, and the 'love' thing? It's disappeared from my vocabulary. And no, I'm not talking about the love I have for my family and friends or the love I have for material things like my iPod touch, my clothes or my laptop. I'm talking about the word that people seem to use so fast and loosely these days. So if you care to bring that 4 letter word back into my life with any deep meaning it might have left, I put forward the challenge to anyone. I dare you. In fact, I double dare you.
7. I haven't watched a TVB series in so long. But never fear, the obsession shall start again once I'm back from Japan 'cause I'll be too poor to do anything else =P
8. I don't bitch about my finances anymore but I have found many other replacing topics to bitch about.
9. I'm on my opens and sometimes I still feel like I'm learning how to drive.
10. Once again, as it seems to be the case every year since I've started uni, some friendships have really blossomed and others have really been put to the test. The friend slutting has got to stop =(
11. My love for coffee has been cemented and nobody can ever take that away from me. Unless Gloria Jean's decides to close down. Which I hope it never does!!!
12. It's 4 years later and I'm still at a job that I only wanted to be in temporarily. It's gotten to the point where all the nice perks of the job have long gone and all I want to do is find a new job.
So, there we have it. Old school Angie has been revamped into the 2009 Angie you all know and love now. But from reading where I'm currently at, I think I'm due for another revamp. So watch out everyone!! New and improved, smarter and more sophisticated, sassier and classier, that'll be me soon enough =)
This is me then.

5. I rambled on a lot.
6. I got out of my 3ish year relationship. And I realised just how naive I was about the concept of 'love'.
7. I was hooked on TVB dramas. I dunno how I found time to go out.
8. I was always bitching about my finances. Then again, I bitched about a lotta things.
9. I was learning how to drive.
10. Even though some friendships started to blossom at this time, others were really put to the test.
11. My love for coffee started.
12. I started my job at Myer.
This is me now.
In 2009,
1. I still go through phases of being addicted to something. This year has consisted of phases of mah jong, Mrs Field's cookies, DDR, poker, pool, going to concerts, footy tipping, Restaurant City, chai tea from 3 Monkeys, reciting quotes such as 'It don't matter!' and 'BL la!!', Max Brenner and Korean music, just to name a few.
2. I've settled into uni life and now all I wanna do is graduate and get out!!!
3. I hung out at Replay a lot in the first half of the year, then the name changed to Timezone and I rarely go in now.
4. I'm pretty much over the alcohol and clubbing phase. Don't worry, I still drink and I still go clubbing. It's just not really my scene now.
5. I still ramble a lot. But I save it for my blog and for friends that I vent to.
6. I've been single for almost 2 years. And I really think I've forgotten what it feels like to be in a relationship and to care about someone in THAT way. Oh, and the 'love' thing? It's disappeared from my vocabulary. And no, I'm not talking about the love I have for my family and friends or the love I have for material things like my iPod touch, my clothes or my laptop. I'm talking about the word that people seem to use so fast and loosely these days. So if you care to bring that 4 letter word back into my life with any deep meaning it might have left, I put forward the challenge to anyone. I dare you. In fact, I double dare you.
7. I haven't watched a TVB series in so long. But never fear, the obsession shall start again once I'm back from Japan 'cause I'll be too poor to do anything else =P
8. I don't bitch about my finances anymore but I have found many other replacing topics to bitch about.
9. I'm on my opens and sometimes I still feel like I'm learning how to drive.
10. Once again, as it seems to be the case every year since I've started uni, some friendships have really blossomed and others have really been put to the test. The friend slutting has got to stop =(
11. My love for coffee has been cemented and nobody can ever take that away from me. Unless Gloria Jean's decides to close down. Which I hope it never does!!!
12. It's 4 years later and I'm still at a job that I only wanted to be in temporarily. It's gotten to the point where all the nice perks of the job have long gone and all I want to do is find a new job.
So, there we have it. Old school Angie has been revamped into the 2009 Angie you all know and love now. But from reading where I'm currently at, I think I'm due for another revamp. So watch out everyone!! New and improved, smarter and more sophisticated, sassier and classier, that'll be me soon enough =)

Catharsis 22 - November
Starting to get into the studying groove. I actually want to do half decently this semester [half decently meaning no 4's!!!] so if it seems like I'm MIA, I'm most likely just cooped up at home. Or at uni. Or I've died trying.
Either way, I leave my beloved readers with my 22 quick rants for this month. Good luck to those who have exams!! The light at the end of the tunnel will come soon enough =)
1. I saw a car that had the personalised plate with my initials AND my birth year. Should've stolen it. The plate, not the car. Actually, maybe the car too.
2. Is it so hard to say what you mean and mean what you say?!
3. Say hello to 1 of the Social Directors of BSA for 2010 =P
4. Damn you Warringah!! Should've won *sighs* But congrats to Shocking... thanks to you, I got half my money back!
5. An early congrats to you. And just to let you know, I will literally cry and cry and cry when you leave me =(
6. Practise what you preach. Like seriously.
7. It'd be so funny if we worked out in real life. Like seriously.
8. I really want to play 4 rounds of mah jong now. Or even 8 rounds. Like seriously.
9. Far out, another choice to make.
10. Best wishes in Melbourne. Gonna miss you terribly especially during the Christmas period =(
11. 幸福掌握在你手上...
12. 14 days to go...
13. 21 days to go...
14. Killing me softly with Red Bull, coffee, hundreds of pages of notes, hundreds of pages of legislation and barely any sleep... killing me softly...
15. Frick, 1 more subject than I thought. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
16. Multi-language exam mix ftw =)
17. MUST PAY OFF CREDIT CARD BILL IMMEDIATELY!!!
18. Must burn off this ever-increasing fat after 15th December.
19. I'm so happy for you and hope that things will work themselves out.
20. Sleep is especially good when the time you're awake is spent studying.
21. Maybe I should move too. Moving's so hot right now.
22. I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart...
