Hey~

Hello guys~ Remember me saying that I have done my first chibi drawing before??? Well, my friend Andy has finally scanned the drawing into a picture format, and here it is!!! =D

PS: I just realized her left eye is bigger than her right eye... Damn... ==



How would you want to name her? XD

A Friend That I Wanna Be...

A random thought came into my mind as I was playing Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook while waiting for my Gatekeepers anime to finish its download.

"I don't want to be a friend that is despised by others."

I want to be a friend that, when I leave the Earth, people will cry for my loss. I want to be a friend that one will remember until the day they die. I want to be a friend that one can proudly point at me and say, "That's my friend there. Not just any friend, he is. He is my friend."

And yes, that means I wanna be someone important in their lives... In my friends' lives, I mean. I don't want to be a person who people will grow to forget, and I don't want to be a friend that people will look at me with a smile and evilly grin at me behind my back.

I don't want to be the type of friends that people only befriend just because they want to achieve something on their own.

I don't want to be the type of friend that people will only come looking for me when they want me to help out in games or anything.

I want to be a friend that people can rely on. A friend that can keep secrets. A friend that is able to help when something bad happens.

I don't want to be a friend who has everything to say on a normal day and shuts up literally when something happens. And I don't want to be the type of friend that people only remember when something happens.

I want to be everyone's "Friend".

Update~

Hey~ It's been awhile~~ =)

Since I last updated my blog, I mean... =P

A lot has happened after my birthday, and I really wasn't in the mood to do anything with my blog since then... It took me about 2 days to finally forgive myself for what I have done, and now I just wanna move on to the next steps of my life. =)

So what have I been up to, you ask? (Or... maybe you have?)

Nothing much actually... Tomorrow I will be having my first EMB test/exam, and... I'm not revising it... Well, before you shoot me with words like "Oh, how arrogant~" or "Wow, so pro liao meh?", let me just clear myself up first, aight? =)

I've done my revision days ago, and right now, the only thing that stops me from getting full marks for my test is my stupid careless mistakes...

NOTE TO MYSELF: 1 TIMES 3 IS NOT EQUALS TO 1!!! ==

Ugh... sometimes I really do hate myself for making all those silly mistakes... =(

But~ Whatever lar... I hope it won't happen in my test... Fingers crossed~~~ =D

Oh yea~ Today I've done a few drawings that I'm kinda happy with~~~ =D

Oh, my~ It's been so long since I last drew something... :)

And... With reference to the book that I have borrowed from Swinburne -- my first ever book borrowed from Swinburne Library T___T -- I managed to complete my first ever Chibi character~~ =D

I have ALWAYS wanted to be able to draw a Chibi character!!! (Chibi means "child" in Japanese, and the cartoon normally consists of characters with big heads and small limbs.)

And, after completing my Chibi character (took me about an hour or so...), I continued on drawing two other characters and when I look at them, I did my mama proud~ =)

Coz she has given me a pair of hands, which I used one of them to draw~ XD

HAHAHAHHAHA...

Okay, enough crap... I've handed my Chibi drawing to my friend Andy for him to scan the picture, and hopefully we can see it in the Internet soon~ =)

18~

Hm.... It's been so long since I last wrote the date... What date is it today???

Oh, it's 15th April! Happy Birthday to me~~ =)

I'm finally 18... From now on people will start to think of me as an adult liao... No more "I'm still underage mah..." as an excuse liao... =)

I think I'm ready to take on the world's challenges... :)

Hold my hands and walk with me, people~ =)

Oh yea, in case you're wondering, my birthday wish this year is really simple. I just want all of my friends to be happy. ;)

Sick of Listening to Something?

I'm sure you all have had this experience before, and the situation goes like this.

When you first hear a song (whether it's through the internet/radio/whatever), and you think to yourself, "Wow, this song is nice! I love it!"

And since then, whenever that song gets played in wherever, you'll be happy/jumping around dancing to it/whatever.

You might even go to a phase where you find yourself listening to the song again and again repetitively for hours or so.

UNTIL one day you start to find out, "Hey, what's so special with this song? I'm already getting sick of listening to it!"

And from there you'll go to the "Hey, will you please stop playing that freaking song in front of me, please and thank you?!"

Well, I do experience that sometimes... I had ever hated a song (and the artist as well) just because I was just so freaking tired of hearing that song/seeing that artist...

Recently (although not that recently), I got sick of hearing Jay-Z & Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind"... Don't know why, but whenever I hear the beginning of the song (just one second of it), I'll suddenly get very frustrated and I'll just skip the track. Haha...

Hmm... It's been several weeks since I last heard that song... :)

Oh yea, just in case you wanna give it a try, go ahead and play my most disgusted song at the moment in front of me, just to annoy me. But don't expect me to react nicely though. 0:)

Hehehe...

Sad... sad... songs...

Don't worry, people. I'm not sad, and I'm definitely not emo right now.

But I'm striving for sad songs. :)

Don't know why, ever since yesterday when I have been wanting to listen to them sad songs in all of a sudden, I just can't get enough of them! Hahaha! XD

So, based on my friends' suggestions and after checking through the list here, I think I've downloaded enough sad songs for now... :)

Kinda tired of listening to the same songs again and again, I guess... =D

Get well soon, buddy!

Okay, I wrote this just now in my Facebook account, and I'm just going to paraphrase it a little bit lar...

"I get weak whenever I see someone I know cry. It makes me feel useless for being unable to make him/her smile again. But it's mostly a "her" rather than a "him" though."

So here's the thing, today I saw a friend of mine crying but I couldn't do anything to make her smile again. Well.... I haven't even tried though, because I didn't really know how to make her smile. Sitting beside her is another friend of ours, but she's like so calm seeing my friend cry. Me, on the other hand, feel so bad for her.

This friend of mine, you see, is sick. But she still came for the SDC practice and I salute her for that. Don't push yourself too hard, my dear... ;)

And a message to her, GET WELL SOON! =D

Wake Up In The Morning Feeling Like P. Diddy...

Hm... I find it kinda ironic that back in Brunei, I couldn't wake up daily at 7am sharp even though I was trying my best to. But when I'm here, even though I wanted to like, wake up late, like, 10am or so, I couldn't. I WILL wake up everyday at 7am. It's not my alarm's problem, I assure you, because I have my alarm set at 7am as well back in Brunei. Hehe.

Recently, I have been waking up early because I've got something to do in Swinburne. After Thursday, I have no more reason to wake up early anymore, because I have got no classes and I really do need the sleep that I lacked.

But~

The thing is, I find myself waking up at 7am miraculously. Not really exactly at 7am, sometimes earlier, like, 6.30 or so...

Yesterday I woke up at 7am and I literally forced myself to sleep back. I have no idea why I woke up so early yesterday... After I woke up, I didn't even feel like sleeping back anymore, you know? I was like, forcing my eyes to close so that I can sleep back again... ==

Then, I finally did fall asleep again, and woke up about three hours later... Got to Swinburne at around noon, and the sun is scorching HOT!!! Well, of course, since it's directly above me. ==

Okay, so come to today.

I woke up at 7am AGAIN, but this time I couldn't force myself back to sleep anymore. Well, at least not that easily. =\

I turned and flipped myself until I finally managed to sleep again but I woke up at around 9am just now. I dragged the lazy self into the washroom and clean myself before I got here to Swinburne in about a quarter past ten.

Right now, I'm in the Open Lab, of course, because I still hadn't bother to have my laptop fixed. ==

The Open Lab beside mine is currently "closed", because there are some technicians doing something inside it... hehehe... I think they're either fixing the air-conditioner, or they're maintaining the computers. Either way, as long as they don't find out that I'm using their computers to go Pet Society-ing, I'm cool. =D

Well, because the Open Lab is closed, the Open Lab in which I'm currently in is now very noisy... Grr... These people don't know how to STFU. ==

So, until then, this has been Joey the Only. Ooh, it's been so long since I last used this phrase... Hahaha... =D

Something to think about.

So what do you do when you notice or have a thought that someone might dislike you? Do you approach that person and ask why he/she was suddenly cold towards you? Or do you suck it in and wait until he/she explodes at you?

I have a friend who... how do I say this? Erm... Let's name this friend X. And so here's the thing, starting about two or three weeks ago, this X has been treating me kinda bland. It's like, the friendship and fun times that we have been together before have suddenly disappeared in thin air.

I more or less have an idea why, but the thing right now is, What shall I do next? Shall I confront X? Or shall I just wait? Waiting is a pain especially when X is obviously avoiding me and the little problem between us.

You see, X isn't the type of person who will tell you face-to-face that he/she hates/likes you. X is a type of person who will try to avoid arguments and all sort. But it's getting more and more obvious that X doesn't want to talk to me. =\

X is a good friend of mine... I don't wanna lose our friendship just because of that silly thing... But... If it turns out that there are some other external factors leading to X disliking me, then I'm unsure what I should do next...

Can somebody please tell me what I should do now? =\

Unluckiness...

Sigh... remember my post a few days ago regarding my laptop? The one I said my laptop couldn't be started and all?

To make things worse, my Nokia 6233 has officially said goodbye to me yesterday...

As you guys might know, yesterday was the Club Recruitment and everything. And I was really tired after that, and I remember blogging about this. So the thing is, I've asked Jessie & Rocky if they can send me home, but they refused because I was living in a direction opposite to the one they're going to go. And if they were to send me home, they'd be caught in the traffic.

And so I just walked back loh... Since it's not my first time walking back...

But the thing is, just before I have reached the roundabout, droplets of rain came down on me. I put on my hoodie and walked with my normal speed since my laptop isn't in my bag. I had both of my phones inside my pocket.

When I reached home, I took off my clothes (basically all of them...) and began drying myself. I realized my phones were wet (the 5300 wasn't that wet, if compared with my 6233). At that time, both of my phones are still usable, and I texted Jessie as I was drying myself.

Then, I saw my 6233 lighting up, and I thought it was Jessie's reply, but when I checked, it was a message from my phone saying "SIM card Registration failed."

Feeling strange, I turned off my phone and restarted it. But, my phone showed the "SIM card Registration Failed" message again. The only difference is that my phone now turns off by itself and I can't switched it on after that.

Allow me to explain that after turning off my phone for the first time, I took out the battery and SIM card and I dried them with my towel before turning my phone on.

But I can't start it anymore...

Feeling scared, I quickly inserted my SIM card into my 5300, (I did dry the battery and everything as well) but the same message came up. I was thinking, "Oh shoot. I am damned."

Thinking that my unluckiness must have hit the bottom of my rock, I ignored the fact that I was cursed with faulty electrical appliances and went to take my shower.

After my shower, I tried to switch on my 6233 again, but to no avail. This time, when I started my 5300, it was proven to be working still. =\

Sigh~

I don't blame any of my friends for refusing to send me home (coz if they did, none of this would have happened), but I blame myself instead. If only I had quickly turned around when it started to rain, or rather, if I had just stayed in Swinburne from the beginning, none of this would have happened.

But, allow me to clear myself... I was really really tired already and the first and last thing on my mind is to get some rest QUICK. I wasn't really in the condition to think about anything else. Maybe I'm just too stupid to even consider that my phones aren't waterproof.

I tell myself, "Everything happens for a reason. I'm not going to question why all of these (unluckiness) have struck me in all of a sudden. I'll just accept them because... what's the point of blaming my friends or God? Will my phones suddenly go back to its normal state? No, right?"

I take this as a challenge for me to grow... Make me more mature... This will burn a mindset in me that "If it's raining next time, DO NOT go home liao... Just stay in Swinburne."

I'll learn from this... This will not bring me down... =)

Oh yea, in case you're asking, "Why weren't you using your umbrella instead?", then my answer would be, "Because I wanna get soaked in the rain."

See? That's why I can't blame anyone but myself... I'm the one stupid enough to not use an umbrella... But then again, the wind was so strong... My umbrella would have been blown out of shape by the time I have set it up... =|

Anyways... Just wanna let you guys know, I'm really lucky to have a spare phone... But my 5300 is too ruined for me to call or receive calls... My microphone is damaged. Alright... I guess that's it... =\

lalalala... I wonder how next week will be... I'm not looking forward to April 15th... =(

Tired~

Yea... I'm seriously exhausted... X.x

Today is the Recruitment Drive for all the clubs in Swinburne... Saw lots of people... =D

Swinburne Dance Club has recruited a lot of people!!! Adeline has photostated 50 copies of the Recruitment Forms, and by the time we closed our booth, all of the forms are filled up!!! =D

Actually the final three are last minute ones... Like really, really, last minute one... hehehe... =)

I was asked what is the difference between "Street Dance" and "Modern Dance" just now... But I don't know how to answer... =S

HAHAHA... I just told them it's more or less the same... XDDD

HAHAHAHAHHAHA~~ XD

Gah... really tired... they will be performing again tomorrow... =)

So tired... I wanna recharge myself liao~~ hahaha

XD

Waking up early...

So here's the thing. I've slept at around 8.45pm last night. Coz I was just too damn tired. ==

I was doing my EMB exercise when I suddenly felt like sleeping. And so I just shoved the exercises to the side, took off my specs and slept.

I woke up at 1.13am or something like that, and it was him telling me to wake up. Hehe... I thought it was already 7am or something, you know? I suddenly opened my eyes and looked at my watch. Grumbling, I slept again.

And... this time I was crying when I woke up again. At 4 something am. In my dream, I was with my mum, whom I missed dearly, and we were talking as if we're about to separate or something. I was crying my heart out and so was she...

I opened my teary eyes and looked at the watch. Sighing, I shrugged the dream away and slept again.

My alarm went off and I woke up for the third time today. Boy, am I tired? Hell yes, I am. ==

Lalalalala... I don't know why I'd just wake up EVERY single day at 4+am... =\

I'm tired and I wanna sleep!!! =(

Grr... Whatever lar... I think it's to prepare myself for 7am... hehehe... =)

Weehoo! Tomorrow will be SDC's Club Recruitment! 8.30am to 4.30pm. Since I have got no classes tomorrow, I think I'll be sitting there from 8.30am until 4.30pm. With occasional breaks, of course. It's not like you don't know I DON'T have the stamina to stay still for fifteen minutes... Don't say hours even... ==

Hahaha... can't wait for tomorrow! I hope there'll be lots of people joining SDC~ =)

1, 2, 3, 4

Okay, I've just said this in my Facebook page that, "In my Facebook account, there is 1 person that I can't stop thinking about, 2 people that annoy the hell out of me, 3 people that interact with me the most. And finally, I have 4 words to say to y'all : "Thank You Very Much~" =)"

LOL. Well, I don't know... When I woke up this morning this is the first thing that came to my mind... hehehe... And it's true... There's one person whom I can't stop thinking about, and secondly, I'm sick of reading the posts of those two annoying people, and thirdly, there are three people who are always commenting on my posts and everything...

But why "Thank you very much", you ask?

Erm... I wanna thank that person for staying in my mind for so long... =)

I wanna thank those annoying people for making me realize that not all people are perfect.

And I wanna thank my three best friends for commenting on my posts... hehehe

=)

Okay, this is so the very the very very random... Lalalalalala~~ XD

New Earphones!

Okay, I'mma keep the story short. The thing is, when I was back in Brunei, my dad gave me a pair of earphones (Bose!!!) and I was loving the sound quality and everything... But, on the day I arrived in Kuching, it was disconnected! As in, the metal jack that you connect to your computer or MP3 player has come off. ==

Blah blah blah~~~

And so, I got myself a new pair of earphones by borrowing RM50 from my mum. I told her that I will pay her back with my pay. (But until now, I still got no news from the management... glah glah glah~~)

It's a pair of Sony earphones, and I selected the RM59 one because it has more bass and the lowest frequency it can receive is 8Hz. Cool, huh? =)

I'm now currently in love with my earphones!!! But I seriously need to get myself a job... =S

PS: I'll show you how my earphones look like in my next post... I've forgotten to check the model name... hehehe... :)

New Blog Name!

And yes... I've finally changed my blog's name from "JoeyLili" to "AriesJoe"...

There are actually quite some reasons for me doing so...

1) The name "JoeyLili" is too... feminine... I'm trying to be more masculine. WTF??

2) I'm AriesJoe. Not JoeyLili.

3) People tend to think my full name is Chen Lili. Which is stupid. ==

4) A new beginning! HAHAHA

My Laptop... T__T

Blueks... Ever since I've changed my hard disk last year, my problems hadn't changed much at all...

Occasionally, my laptop will freeze for about one or two seconds before a blue screen with words that I couldn't capture blink in front of me. And, the next thing I knew, the whole laptop restarts, and a screen will appear, asking me to "insert boot disk and press any key to continue".

It's useless for me to press anything, because the same message will appear after that.

The only thing to do would be to force-shutdown my laptop by pressing and holding the power button until the whole screen turns black. From there, if I turn on my laptop again, the problem would be gone.

This has happened for quite awhile already, and I have always tend to ignore it because I thought I could just restart my laptop the hard way...

Until yesterday afternoon...

I was in a room of the G Block. Alvin & Rocky wanted to use my laptop to play their Battle Station for awhile, and so I agreed... I went to the Open Lab after that and when I came back down, I realized the "Insert boot disk" thingy is already on my screen.

Alvin didn't seem to notice that my laptop has shut down on its own, and so I assumed that it happened after he had returned to his homework.

And so, I did the normal routine, where I forced-shutdown my laptop and restarted it. But the thing is, after I've typed my password, for about 20 or 30 seconds later, the blue screen thingy will blink again. And the same "Insert boot disk" message will appear again.

Thinking that something is wrong, I forced-shutdown my laptop again and retyped my password. But the same thing happened again. This was when I realized that something wsa deeply wrong with my laptop. This has never ever happened before.

I was at Jin's house that night when I tried again. But still, the same thing happened... Oh shit!

I need help... I seriously need help immediately... =(

I still wanna remix songs... T__T

Anyone that knows why this is happening and how it can be fixed?? =(

Clash of the Titans Review

So, last night (or rather, evening), we went to watch "Clash of the Titans" in MBO. I wasn't actually going at first, but because I had really really wanted to watch this movie, I relented. lalala~

And I dare say, I wasn't at all regretting my choice to go. The movie is really great!

Sam Worthington plays Perseus, a demi-god. He was born as a good, but raised as a human. After his family was murdered by Hades, played by Ralph Fiennes, (the same guy who played Voldemort AKA He-Who-Mustn't-Be-Named), Perseus seeks revenge.

After his ship was sunk, Perseus was brought to Argon, where Hades visited and cursed the town. Ten days later, when the sun is eclipsed, Hades will release the monster of terror, Kraken, to destroy Argon. Seeing Perseus as the only way to help them, the Argons led a small army to destroy Kraken.

They set on a journey to seek for some witches by some hill (I'm not that familiar with these Greek mythologies, sorry) and it was revealed that Medussa was the only one who is powerful enough to kill Kraken. But being a villain, Medussa will NEVER help Perseus. And so, Perseus has to kill Medussa in order to get her head. I'm sure you all know that Medussa's stare is powerful enough to turn any living thing that was silly enough to look into her eyes, right?

And so, the plan was to get Medussa's head in order to turn Kraken into a stone.

But then... here comes the silly part... If you've watched the movie, you'll see that Kraken is HUMONGOUS!!! And so freaking huge! But. Medussa's single stare was enough to turn the whole Kraken into stone? ==

Lalalalala...

So after Kraken was destroyed, Perseus in turn sent Hades back to The Underworld with Zeus, his father's help.

And... that was practically it... The story was simple, but the way the movie was shot was brilliantly wonderful... I dare say it's the best movie of 2010 for now... hahaha

XD

From the sight of things, I'm guessing there will be a "Clash of the Titans 2" coming soon... I mean... Hades sure will come back to get revenge, right?? HAHAHA

XD

I'm so over you.

And yea, the heading said it all. I'm so and very over you. No longer will I get sad over you, and no longer will I care about you anymore. I guess it's true when they say the opposite of "love" is "hate". I don't hate her. It's just that... I don't want to see her in front of me. That's all. =)

Alvin told me something meaningful last night. He said... "There are six billion people in this world. Why pull yourself down just because of one person? There are lots of other girls that you can go after, right? She's not necessarily the one for you."

And yea. When I heard what he said, I was enlightened... As in, I can finally see through it... It's not really my loss if she cannot appreciate me. It's not my loss at all, if you may.

And so, from today onwards, we'll see how things go. I'll just go with the flow. Blarghs.... Who cares if we're not friends anymore? I don't. =)

Happy April's Fool!

As you all might know, today is the first of April, which is also April's Fool Day... I'm not going to go into details how April Fool's Day come about, because I don't really know and understand why as well... Lalalalalalalalala~~~

Today's also the day where Swinburne Dance Club will be performing for the SSIC (I don't know what it stands for, but it's more commonly known as Student Council/SSIC) Installation Party tonight... Jude's team and Evan's team. =)

I'm really looking forward towards their performance tonight... It's gonna rock the whole show down. =)))

Hehehe... :)

New Header!

It's April!!! And it means a brand new month with a brand new blog header!!! =D

hehehe... :)

In case you're wondering, "The Advocates of Devil" is a project that I'm doing (but now is put to halt because of my studies) and it revolves my best friends here in Swinburne... EVERYTHING that happened in the fiction is... well, fictional. Lolz...

Enjoy my new header~ =D
